Ok so I broke one of the cross pieces on my factory roof rack for my car a few weekends ago.
I am contemplating a couple options:
1. Buy the factory replacement part
2. Upgrade per se to a new rack (Yakima or Thule) that will integrate with my existing rack.
The cheapest option by far is to just get the replacement part for the rack. But that means I can really only have one yak on the roof. If I go with the Thule or Yakima way, I figure I can get longer cross bars and it will give me the option of having two yaks up top.
Anybody have experience with either Yakima or Thule? Pros, cons?
I have all Yakima stuff, and haven't been disappointed. I found that the Shark Saddles are the way to go for roto-molded yaks. The Hulley Rollers tend to dent the yak, especially when it's warm. The Mako saddles also dent the yak. I've easily sold my used yakima stuff on Ebay.
