Unfortunately, the rubber pads are a wearable part. Ordering new ones from Yakima isn't difficult; just ensure to note which alphabet letter is stamped onto the pad before you order. Or better yet, remember which Q-Clip package you purchased should the Yakima tech (on the phone) as for specifics. Sorry for the bad news.

Hey Arlene, Im not sure if this is a problem related to the rack system. If you are hauling this around a lot of salt water, that can speed up the breakdown of rubber. You might wanna talk to Honda about it. But if you're thinking its a Yakima thing. Here is their contact info. (888)925-4621 Good luck! P.S- Armorall is a good rubber conditioner..I usually apply that to my doors every 6 months or so.
