Yakima Whispbar
Looking to put a roof rack and cargo box on my '09 RDX for upcoming road trip. Tried to stuff everything inside for last yearss trip and my son was not very happy in the back. In fact if my brother hadn't taken my beach chairs and coffemaker in his minivan I would have had to strap him to the roof.
Anyway, I don't think I feel comfortable installing factory rack myself. Was on Yakima site and in their 'fit my car' it came up with Whispbars. Looks like 2 bars attached to the roof spaced out enough to then attach a cargo box.
Anyone here have any experience with these?
Thanks in advance.

wrestrepo, I have an REI nearby so I will go to them and take a look. Was on rackattack.com and able to compare different racks. I like the look of the whispbar S26 as there is nothing sticking out of the end so it looks flush.
chipmunk, I am not sure if I want factory rack for the 2 or 3 times a year I might use it. One long trip to the back and maybe taking my son snowboarding a couple weekends in the winter. Like the ability to take off when not using and the seeming ease of installation.
