Yakima Roof Rack

Just installed my Yakima roof rack. I like how the rack mounts to the rain gutters, better than Thule or factory rack IMHO.

All original. I got the car with only 39k miles. Only upgrades so far are Borla exhaust and the Yakima rack.

+1 on the Yakima racks. Much better than the over the gutter design of the Thule.

39K miles on a car over 11 years old. There are still some very good examples of the Gen1 out there. Has your crank pulley been changed? Even at low miles with those years you could have some dry rot.
