    Re: sedan roof rack

    i put the thule on my car and a yakima on her car. Both are very good, but i prefer the feet pads on the thule better, they are just more durable. we have been thru 3 sets of feet pads on my wifes yakima rack over the past 3 years. Yakima blames the intense sun of living at elevation in Colorado. I think it was just a bad run of material. My thule still looks brand new.

    The OEM rack is nice and solid.. wish it was a little closer to the roof.. but the Thule Snowboard/ski rack works great and the Thule front wheel off rack is solid as well.

    Re: sedan roof rack

    its not that i cant fit the bike, im just tired of clearing everything, folding seats, and getting the dirty bike in and out of the car. i will look at the oem racks, they are a little on the high side though.

    any foot pad can scratch your paint unfortunatly. I used a little piece of clear bra material under my pads. works great.
