Anyone try this? > Joe, I have the Yak towers that clip to the factory rack (Double Cross), cradles in the front and Hully rollers in back. I have replaced the hand nuts on the Hully rollers with regular hex nuts (to discourage tampering) and have been able to tighten things there "real" tight. Essentially no slippage there. The slippage (rotation) I experience is at the towers. Teenie tiny little red levers are used to tighten the tower and you just can't get enough force to "really" tighten things well. Also you have to pay attention to orientation of these levers for locking. Not at great design. I also think that once you get things tight, the rubber inside flows and things loosen. I very disappointed in this aspect of the Yakima design.
