Easy to assemble. Stable construction. Used it on a cross country road trip in our subaru wagon. worked great. Bikes stade nice and secure whipping down the highway. Would highly recommend for anyone who has rails already on there car so they don't have to spend extra cash on putting in yakima rails.

This roof mount rack by Yakima is the best rack for the money. Easy to install, not bad to assemble out of the package and hold our bikes excellent!
The only downfall in my opinion is that if you leave the racks in place without a bike for traveling they do not come with a strap/tiedown for the arm. It seems to ride well in the down position but still being able to "latch" it down seems to be a better option.
All together though this was the best roof mount rack of 4 brands we looked at.

These racks fit three aside on a Subaru Tribeca. Putting them together took about 45 minutes and yes there are spare parts for different rack styles. It is easy to load if you are over six foot and relatively strong. If under six foot you will likely need help loading if the car is an SUV. The big benefit to this style of rack is that you don't need to remove the front tire. The bikes are very stable on the rack at highway speeds there have been no problems. Yakima does put out a very reliable product. We recommend this rack system.
