These mounts are for cars with factory bars that run the length of the car. They work and are very secure, so that's a plus. They fasten to the factory bars using a rubber clamp and a quick release style cam. However, they're almost too generic so that they fit more cars; they're really wide for my relatively narrow (VW) factory bars (so they look kind of odd and don't do much for aerodynamics). Yakima trys too hard to make these a tool-free installation when use of a few common tools could make it much faster to adjust.

Nifty little locks. I like having only one key and the ease of installing these locks. They're pricey, but worth it to protect your stuff!

Good bars, very rugged. It's tough to line them up on the car so that they are even on both sides (purely for aesthetics). I wonder if they have ever considered a tear drop shape for aerodynamics.

Looks good and prevents whistling noises, but I reached up through the sunroof at 70mph and it was vibrating like a guitar string! I'm not thrilled about the little pads that ride on the car's finish, but I don't think they will cause any damage.

Great bike holder! Holds my road bike nice and secure and is easy to use. Unfortunately, while I was clamping the forks in, I snapped one of the keys in half (but I think it's more the user than the equipment!). I'd like to see a tougher rear wheel ratchet strap and less Yakima stickers all over the rig, but, overall, it's great!
