are they Q towers?...
Q towers work, but your gonna need to replace the Q clips with the compatible model number...I believe the part # is Q32, your gonna need two sets, and the run about 35 bux each. I would advise replacing these, cuz they are specifically designed for each car model and they come with the nylon pads to keep from scratching your car...all though i do see a little rubbing on my door jams.
You use 58" crossbars and a 50" fairing and compatible Q clips. if you go to a Yakima dealer they will have a spec sheet on measurements for your car.
this is what I run on my 08...I also have a Load Warrior/net for trips. It comes in really handy when you gott alotta baggage, but dont wanna feel your trunk up. Its a breeze to take on/off....looking to get bike racks this summer.

Make sure you clean the area first.
