Rack Question

[jgalt]

OK, as promised, here are some better photos. Also, I heard back from Yakima on my part numbers, which are as follows:

Lowrider: 0118
Crossbars: 0408

Front tower


Rear tower


Rack from differing viewpoints:








As you can see, the towers do not "sit" on the factory rail, but ride above it by approximately 0.5-0.75". Nonetheless, the rubber "farings" hide much of the gap.

I should also mention that there is a pretty good "whistle" at highway speeds. I don't know if this comes from the rack (towers and crossbars) itself or the Powderhound ski/snowboard carriers I installed on top. But, wth, that's what your stereo is for.

I personally think they look pretty good, especially considering that there was no other real alternative, except maybe a Thule tower that was over 4" high; I like the low profile.
