X1 All Black Roof Rack
Any suggestions on all black roof rack for our X1? Preferred top of the line brand good quality, meaning no cheapo! Thanks in advance...

Aside from the OEM one (which is made by Thule) aren't they all black? Yakima, Thule and Saris come in Model T colors. I very slightly prefer my Thule to my Yakima, but they're both quality.

I like the Thule you chose. I had a Yakima on my 05 WRX and I have Yakima on my wife's 10 forester. The thing I don't like about them is the wind defector is a must or you get horrible vibration. Over time the wind deflector pads rub the roof paint as well.

Thanks Red Bread...
I was undecided for a couple of weeks and all I have to do is post a thread in this forum, you guys are awesome!! BTW, I do a lot of outdoor activities especially fishing and have some big investments on fishing rods and Thule got ski/fishing rods clip attachments that is exactly what I need... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005HD...+rod+roof+rack |

As noted, if you run a wind fairing, use the included clear bra discs under where the supports sit. It's also a good idea to clear bra the whole roof rail to keep it from getting scuffed. You can get 3M clear bra on Amazon and install it yourself.
I'm a biker, skier and snow boarder and can't live without a roof rack. |
