Ready to race!
Alright there have definitely been a lot of other threads on this but I want to lay everything out on the table on this thread. Which roof rack is the best? Here's what I've noticed digging through these threads on this site:
Thule: Everyone likes the easy install and how it fits. I, however, am not a fan of the fairing. The Yakima looks a lot cleaner.
Yakima: I've noticed people have the most trouble with these including leaks when it rains because it pushes on the door seal. However, their fairing looks better than Thule in my opinion.
OEM / Votex: People say it fits great. No fairing attachment available. I've seen people put the Thule and Yakima fairings on them but can you guys link the threads that show you how to do this? I've seen one for the Thule but not the Yakima which is the one I would rather get.
Whispbar: I haven't seen any complaints on these but I'm going to take the looks over function stance. I really like the way the fairing looks and I know Whispbars do not need them because they were designed to be aerodynamic to begin with.
What are your guys' experiences with these and how much difference does the fairing make for the Thule and Yakima kits in terms of noise and MPG?
Thank you in advance!
