Looking for a new roof mount bike rack.

Considering, Yakima, Thule, Rocky Mounts

Experiences? Opinions?

The Yakima and Thule fit kits are sometimes quite different.
Look at a car the same as yours with each system before
buying. On an Acura Integra that my gf had, the Yakima
mount was terrible (went over the weatherproofing, crushing
and deforming it, while the Thule mount went under the
weatherproofing, and there were even indicators under
there for Thule mount locations, stamped into the sheet metal.

After that I became partial to Thule, and the TUV approval
provides some assurance that the product has at least been
tested under extreme conditions.
