  1. And if you would like to go the Yakima route, you can do what I did . . . http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/1890-yakima-q-towers-and-bamr/
  2. Hi there. I'm the owner that originally did Yakima rack install (see here: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/1890-yakima-q-towers-and-bamr/). I can tell you that it did not scrape the paint, even after repeated installs/removals. The clips have a soft rubbery coating and the clips exert much of their pressure evenly across the flat surfaces on both the clips and the body surfaces. There have been no issues. Read the thread and you'll find many Q & A. Enjoy your Edges, folks !
  3. Awesome !! It has that "Batman" element to it - Looks super great !!
  4. Great !! Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing it !!
  5. So HOTTT !!! Looking forward to seeing the pics !!
  6. Ahhhh, my grasshopper friends . . . you have to use the forum's search function . . . I've done it . . . look here . . . http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/1890-yakima-q-towers-and-bamr/
  7. Thank you too ! Shouldn't be a problem. The vista roof operates the same with or without the rack installed. Of course, if you mount something on the rack that would obstruct the roof's movement and the roof jams, that would be your fault . . . can't see how anyone could claim a warranty issue on that . . . Happy Summer ! Enjoy it ! :-)
  8. These are the foot pad/Q clips/bar position measurements relative to the edges of the roof - front back left right. The easiest answer is to go to Yakima's website at www.yakima.com and go to the Fit My Car link. - Enter your make/year/model information. - Select: On top of roof > Naked > Build your own [Next] > Let's Go - At the bottom of the Base System screen, select Fit Notes + Measurements. Here you will see the measurement reference points and recommended distances. These instructions are also included in the boxes for the foot pads and the Q-clips. Happy motoring and Happy Summer !! :-)
  9. Thanks Lex ! Here . . . I'll even save you the trouble of searching . . . here's what I did . . . http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/1890-yakima-q-towers-and-bamr/

  11. You need to look at what I did: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/1890-yakima-q-towers-and-bamr/
  12. Josh, you can definitely make it happen with those parts. Good deal man !! . . . and yes, I AM a guy . . . :-)
  13. Aiyyyeeeee !!! Terrible ! This happened to me too. The tech attached the sunroof shade upside down (that's why the rails are showing). When I showed it to the service manager, he was just beside himself. Even he thought "WTH ?!". I had to bring it back another day but they DID fix it right. Sorry friend.
  14. Here . . . see what I did: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/1890-yakima-q-towers-and-bamr/page__p__14188__fromsearch__1entry14188
  15. I went aftermarket. You have the factory rack, so you will have to work around this or try another route. See what I did . . . http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?sho...;hl=bamr+yakima
  16. I put on the rack only when I need it. No significant noise, just enough that you know it's there but nothing that would deter you from having a decent conversation. Any time you had add something to the roof or anywhere that detracts from the natural aerodynamics of a vehicle, there will be some drag. How it effects your mpg and whether it is troublesome for you, only you can make that determination. Because I use the rack intermittently, it is not an issue for me. If you need it, it fits, it does what it needs to do without problem, go for it !
  17. Here . . . look at my Thule Sidearm . . . http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?sho...0&hl=yakima
