My last two cars --- a Subaru Outback and the Audi A4 Avant --- have had rock-solid factory bars on them. But I agree with Bill --- could be dicey if you've had any condensation or leaking around your Bronco's fittings. If they're solid and seem to be corrosion free, I wouldn't hesitate to use Yak's DoubleCross fittings, but if I were redoing the vehicle anyway, I'd install Yak's "Tracks" directly to the roof and use their RailRiders to hold the bars. You might even be able to cover the holes where the original racks were mounted, if you're lucky. I'm sure Thule has an equivalent. But, then, you've got a Ford: you could always just nail two by fours to the roof.
