If you have a Yakima rack, please help.

I'm setting up a rack for my roomate's 98 SE. I just received some used Qclips but they didn't come with any instructions, so I don't know how far I need to space apart the Qtowers on the cross-bars. I'm sure there is someone that has their instructions sitting around somewhere.

I installed mine without instructions

Don't tighten the Q-towers to the crossbar until you get it to roughly fit when the q-towers are clamped down. Then tighten the q-towers to the crossbars and play around with it until it fits snug when you clamp down the q-tower.

Here's two pics of the Yakima rack on my car:


I'll post pics once I get my roomates set up.

The only reason I'd get a trunk mount is if you don't use it that much. I go skiing 3x a week so it's worth the decreased gas mileage for me.
