Not my taste, but you are not putting them on my car! If you like them, get them.

You probably would have hydroplaned in any tire.

I'll just buy a Thule again. I've been dealing w/racks for a long time. Selling them at a bike shop years ago, buying them, selling them on CL recently, and I've aways preferred Thule. Yakima is fine, but you'll eventually find the same problems w/Yakima that you are finding w/Thule. I'm going to Interbike in September and hoping to buy a rack directly from them at the show. Not sure if I can do it, but I'll see! I need to get the cross rails for the Ford Flex (w/existing factory rails) and a set up for my Fusion.

I was told by the Thule rep at REI (he was there for a day) that the 400 feet would not work for the 2010 Fusion. I was told that after telling him I already had the 400 foot pack. I was told I need the 480 feet and the 1529 fit kit.

I had an issue where Sync wouldn't recognize my iPod where it had previously. I ended up taking it to the dealership and waiting for 2 hours while the fixed it. I asked to be shown how to reset it, but I was not shown. Good luck! I couldn't find anything either.

great list! thanks so much!
