Idiot Proof and Solid

this Yakima Q-Tower Review by J. Preston

vehicle year/make/model: 2007 Ford Focus 5 Door

item(s) transported: Eventually bikes and skis, maybe a cargo box.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a roof rack system and I chose Yakima over Thule because the salesperson told me that they would fit the rounded shape of the roofline of my Focus the best. It made sense to me. Because Yakima bars are round, accessories that are mounted to them can be pivoted and aligned as desired. When it came to installing them (I wasn’t willing to pay the $50 installation fee) I was amazed at how easy it all went together. The directions are very clear and before you even put the towers on the roof, you’ve already positioned them on the bars according to the very specific measurements that are included. The measurements also tell you where to place the front bar in relation to the windshield, and how far back the rear bar needs to be. The way that the tower locks down is commendable as well, and is foolproof due to a set of hashmarks, which help you to know exactly how tight they should be set. You know they are at the perfect tension when you see one hashmark, not two or zero. Idiot proof. Once they were installed, I grabbed the bars and shook my car and they didn’t budge. The lock cores went in with ease and everything was all set, and it only took me about an hour.

Better than Thule Aero Feet

this Yakima Q-Tower Review by Sam Belmore

vehicle year/make/model: 2000 Honda Prelude

item(s) transported: Surf Board and Wind Board

Compared with Thule Aero Towers, I personally feel that the Q-Towers are more attractive (they sit lower on the roof) and are definitely easier to install. They fit so well you’d think they were factory installed. As far as price, they are within a few dollars of Thule. Just make sure your car uses Q Towers. They have several types of towers and the Q-Towers aren’t always the ones you may need. The other thing that is cool about the Q-Towers is once they are adjusted to fit your vehicle, you can take them off in minutes. I think they are the best racks out there.
