I've had the Yakima roof-bolted system, using the Thru-bolts (not removing headliner), on my mini-van for a little over two years now, and it's as close to perfect as anything I own. With fear and trembling, I installed it myself, and installation was easy. It's a great system. The towers and racks go on or off in one piece, taking just about 4-5 minutes total for mounting or for dismounting. The towers are, of course, lockable - not that a reasonably dedicated thief would have tourble picking the locks. Oh, and by the way - the bars don't roll when I put the boats on the van or take the boats off. I have no explanation of why I haven't had trouble, when many others have had it. - Bill Hansen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Oct 26 1999 - 09:25:41 PDT
