Got any pics with your quiver strapped? I have the racks here but I am a little bit paranoid about the whole water issue. On my old R53 I used to have Thules and those things did a job on my roof. Lots of pressure points that I had to get removed.
I am hitting the water tomorrow with my 5'6" quad Dani Hess so no need for racks. But if I grab the long board later, I am definitely going to need to install them. I got the OEM racks as well just sitting here. Was about to do the install, but its a bit late and I am going dawn patrol tomorrow morning!

I mean heck, it's a guitar string mounted onto the rack that will whistle and whine like some dreaded prehistoric mosquito!!!! You also don't need those ridiculous bulbous foam cushions that advertise your local surf shop either! THe padded bag does the job just fine and those things really make the look of the car look hideous! THe basic straps wrap over and under the rack and secure just fine. The loose strap material is bungied with micro bungies kind of like the ones women use to tie their hair back. I just bungied them to the straps that were secured onto the roof rack. I put some touch up paint onto the area that got scracthed (only one place thank goodness). I highly recommend putting the blue tape onto the surface of the roof where the rack is going to meet before mounting so that if she slips, and she will, you won't muck up the paint like I did! So much for the dummies guide to mounting your OEM rack onto your clubman.
