go to Yakima's site and find out where you can buy them

they make them for almost any car
pretty sure that's the brand that mizeree_x has (black VE with cobra rims and roof rack)

Yakima and Thule are probably the two easiest roof racks to get parts for. There is a company called Barracrafters that makes inexpensive racks if you can find one that fits your car. But Thule and Yakima will run you like 300 dollars for all the parts, if not more.

That's me!

I bought a Yakima used off an Orgy member. It uses Q20 clips, and I have a ski/snowboard attachment that can fit 2 snowboards or 4 pairs of skis. I'm pretty sure there's a bigger attachment that allows 3 snowboards or 6 pairs of skis. Thule is also a reputable brand.

Check my sig or http://maxima.cardomain.com/memberpage/214496/6 for pics .

The clips go between the chassis and the door. They are shaped like the "groove" behind the upper part of the door. Then you tighten down the towers on each side. Believe me, it is secure. I can grab onto one of the crossbars and rock my entire car without the towers budging.
