Cons: Not as secure as I would like, can fall apart in storage.
Summary: Note: This review was moved, see note on bottom. These are the parts the hold the Basket above your car/truck. Hence the name. Without these you would get a nicely polished roof on your car. Although you could blind flying planes with a nice shiny ... read more

Cons: not exactly cheap, but well worth the money after you've had it for a while
Summary: Bought my Yakima rack several years ago for my Honda Accord so I could carry my Kayak and bikes on. I can't say enough good things about this rack. It will hold bikes, kayak, ladders, etc on the car doing 80-90mph without ever loosening up 1 bit. You c ... read more

Pros: Bullet-proof design and construction. Functions as expected. Versatile lock system.
Cons: Requires more patience and time to install than initially expected. Pricey compared to Rocky Mounts.
Summary: I installed Q Towers, bars and 2 steelhead tray mounts per instructions to the roof of my Volvo station wagon. I tightened the Q clips not too tight, not too loose, but Goldilocks right, per instructions. For a few months this held my bikes securely. ... read more

Pros: Solid and very strong, easy to put on and remove
Cons: noisy, reduces gas mileage
Summary: Before I got the Yakima Q Tower roof rack system for my 1999 Toyota Corolla, I folded down my rear seat and stuck my skis in the trunk. The problem is that then there is only room for one person in the back seat, the skis take up space in the trunk, and ... read more

Pros: Versatile and many attachments
Cons: Use of plastics (strength)

Pros: Works well for a little while
Cons: The rubber mounting foot degrades rather quickly, which can damage your car
Summary: I have had these mounts on two of my vehicles for several years. When you buy these Q mounts, they come with a rubber pad for your specific vehicle. The rubber that these pads are made from is inadequate for the job. They are very soft, and they leave
