been using Yakima racks for 25+yrs in fact most of my various mounts are around 20-25yrs old and still working fine. only have bent one crossbar driving a bike into the garage 20yrs ago. the bike mounts never budged. have replaced a few of the fork skewers over the years. the old boxy ski mount still works fine and the lock is still funtioning so long as you lube the slot a couple times a season.

the newest item in my yakima quiver are some adaptors to mount accesories to my factory cross bars on the subbie.

i also bought longer cross bars so that i could cram more stuff up on the roof. have made multiple 1500+mile trips with a kayak 6pairs of skis and 2 bikes 4 spare wheels and never lost a thing up there.

hint: if you have more than two bikes up top, mount them back to front and the h-bars will stay out of eachother's way and you can cram more up there.
