Another new member here, sorry to rehash something that's been done to death already....Can someone please humor me and answer these questions...? I've been reading all the options that everyone has posted regarding roof rack for the VX, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the options.

1. besides that it's expensive-- is there any reason I would NOT want the Yakima OEM set of bars that connect to the rack?

2. do they require locks, or once installed, are they theftproof?

3. I have a Thule ski carrier that connected to the Thule OEM roof rack of the Saab I sold to buy my Vehicross. Will that Thule ski carrier work on the Yakima OEM rack? The Thule bars were square, are the Yakima bars square or round? Am I going to have to buy a new ski rack?

4. lastly-- (worth a shot) -- does anyone have a set for sale?

thanks
