Huge benefit to getting Yakima or Thule as you’re not limited to the mount points like you are with oem.
We have the evo aero kit from thule
Pros: not limited to mount points

Yakima or Thule only, if not OEM. Those 3. Nothing else.
I use very similar racks to this, although my car has rails and doesn't need the adapter to grab onto the gutters. Been using it for 8ish years, and I got a similar time from a similar setup on my previous car. Never had a problem.
Pros: no problems, similar setup
I have the hyundai ones on mine (22 ICE TUSCON SEL FWD) stock and they don't whistle at all.
Pros: don't whistle
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
I use the Thule Evo Wing bars for my Mk8 and carry skis and kayaks. They are great. A little bit of a pain to get the other carriers on the bars them selves. But over all quiet and of good quality.
Pros: quiet, good quality
Cons: pain to get carriers
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Yea the rack clears fine - minimal wind noise too.
Pros: clears fine, minimal wind noise

While I like it, I\u2019m not 100% satisfied. The black part hanging down through the window is throwing me off. Why was it installed like this?
Cons: installation not seamless
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’m thinking of getting a Yakima FatCat Evo 6 roof rack as well! Any review on it compared to your previous one? The one I have is super bulky and I feel realllllly messed up my range. Idk if you noticed a difference with the FatCAT
Cons: messed up my range, super bulky
For me the extra wind noise and reduced mpg isn’t worth it so I drive around in my mom car as a a dude in his 30s and own it
Cons: extra wind noise, reduced MPG
the roofrack is really, really rare. I’m not sure how many there are in the country; and your only option is the Toyota OEM one
Cons: roofrack rare, limited options
Vehicle:
Toyota Celica
