The initial installation is straightforward as with all Yakima products I have used and appear to be solid and well-made. I practiced removing the bars once installed and found the Skyline towers easy to use just as my old control towers were. Then came the test drive to answer the noise question. I drove around town and on the interstate up to 75 MPH. I was pleasantly surprised there was no more wind noise than with my factory crossbars. I have used Thule square bars and Yakima round bars for years and was never able to use them without a fairing.
Perhaps wind noise may vary for different vehicles and I can only speak for the Subaru Outback. I am finally free of the fairing and recommend this quiet and sturdy roof system.
The 70" wide makes for lots of room without exceeding the width of the wheel wells on my pickup (Ridgeline). Noise? there is so much stuff on the bars (saddles, Kayaks, attaching devices for saddles, straps, paddles, etc) who knows what sound is coming from the bars?
Looks - sharp.
Seller - I bought them from NetRush. The package came quickly - in time to install for my trip - but it had obviously been re packed and there were no instructions in the box and the bars had water spots on them. It looked like they had either been sold and then returned or on demo or something., Due to timing, I reviewed the seller (selling used in place of new) and installed them and went on my trip. When I got back, I had a response from the seller - who wanted to make it right (selling used equipment wasn't their policy, they said) and the DID make it right.
From a practical standpoint, the bars look the same today as if they were new out of the box. As far as I know, the functionality is the same. The seller did not have to back up their policy - but they DID. Kudos to them. I would buy from this seller again.
For the product, it’s great. I have two sets and the both works well for 2 yes for me.
