my old rack is a thule 400xt no longer made. i was able to mount it to the front using my 2006 corolla fit kit. and i think i can mod the rears so i can use them. the load bars i'm using are the corolla size and are short, but i think it looks better that way.

pic 3 showing profile of the foot pad on the civic roof. from a 2006 corolla fit kit.

for the cost of these racks (400+) i was hoping just to get a proper fit kit. this thule model is too old for that. i may just be able to lengthen the clamp.
but these racks are noisy and i hear that the newer areo bar makes far less noise. in the end i'll probably spring for a new one when avail. mabe i'll be able to use
the locks?

UP DATE: for those too cheap like me and want to reuse the old thule roof rack they have. i am using the front fit kit for a 2006 corolla, and the rear is from a 2006? chevy impala. i had the corolla kit and looking on ebay i was able to determing that this impala kit would do the trick. while it fits nicely and is nice and tight it remains to be seen weather i actually use it to carry something vs. 200 for new feet and a fit kit.

I have Yakima Q Towers on a Honda Accord 2008. Planning to install on Honda Civic 2016 once I take it home. However Yakima has not published the Q Clips that will fit the new Civic.

Just received email from Yakima support.

"Hi, and thank you for contacting Yakima, Whispbar and ProRack U.S. Customer Support.

We are right on the verge of publishing the new 2016 fits, but they are tad delayed because we are in the process of getting our new products on the site. We will hopefully have the fit data in the next couple of weeks. "

Yakima still has not released the fit for the 2016 Civic. I just received this email from Yakima. I´ll keep you posted.

"Guillermo,

Thanks for the follow-up. The 2016 fits are flooding in, but we are still waiting on the Civic! As for the expected release date, we are hoping for the end of the month.

Any and all future updates will occur here:

Cheers!

A Yakima rack with Yakima faring on the front will look so at home on our Civics <3

I have same foot pack as yours, 400xt. What is the part number for the impala fit kit for the rear? Thanks.
