Having just dropped $3100 on my new MTB it was time to move to a new roof rack. I really don't want to leave the new ride on a trunk rack that someone can just slice the straps on and walk off with my baby ....
Since I can't use my Thule rack on the Tour because they don't make the proper clips I have taken the plunge and gone Yakima. I have just done the install and have a couple of questions.
1) Installing the clip between the weatherstrip and the roof causes a slight gap between the weatherstrip and the roof where the clips are. Has this caused any problems for anyone?
2) I followed the instructions and wrapped the vinyl liners around the Q Clip from one side to the other around the bottom and pressed it into the 'u' the clips to the actual roof. It seems that it may be too thick overall (hence the weatherstrip question above). Has anyone installed without the liners? Did that cause any problems?
Thanks!
