Hey everybody,

With the winter season upon us, I am looking forward to some snowboarding. I have been searching for possible solutions for a rack system for my 2006 rl. Yakima makes these "Q Towers" that mount to our roof. Has anyone ever had experience with this product on a rl or any ohter car? I do not want to spend the money (over $400) on a system that will blow off going down the highway! Any info or ideas would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Here's the yakima setup I have on mine:

I've used the Yakima Q towers on a Volvo S40 and an Audi A4. They work really good and you won't have a problem with it blowing off. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, the total gets to $400+. It's worth the money if you plan on going up a lot though.

I'm actually selling my Q Towers and crossbars, etc if you are in the Pacific NW at all. Now that I have a RDX also I don't need the towers anymore.

Yak-racks are awesome! There is a reason they are expensive. We have had them on several of our cars and it's great for biking, skiing, or storage.

Thanks everyone for letting me in on the info and related post. I will probably invest in a set this season.

Rahbey, I live on the east coast, however I work in transportation department with FedEx and UPS accounts. What Q towers do you have (would they fit my 06 RL)? How much?

Rahbey,
I'd be interested in only your Q Towers and crossbars if Yankee2 does not pursue.
I already have a whole system that was fitted for my long ago '91 Civic Si, just need the new towers/clips and longer bars to fit my 05 RL.
Let me know. Shipping would be involved as I'm in California.
Thanks.
