Got my Yakima crossbars and towers this weekend and installed them on sunday.
I went with the Yakima Rail Grab Towers and 48in round bars. Simple installation, maybe around 20mins or so. The towers do come with three different sized claws- I found t that the medium ones fit the Crosstrek factory rails the best. I'm happy with the 48in crossbars also- they leave about two inches on either side sticking out.
I have found that the front bar produces a good amount of wind noise. I'm going to play with positioning a little bit and slide it forward and backwards to see if I can improve this.
