you need to match the load bars to the feet (ie square bars go with a certain model foot, round "aero" bars go with another model foot)
and then, what makes the whole thing "fit" to a particular car roof
is the "fit kit"
the fit kit includes the metal clips that attach the feet to the door opening as well as the rubber pads that fit under the feet and contour to the roof
i bought mine used so im not sure which fit kit i have but try to find something with a close roof profile
and then for the front fairing, you need the narrowest one they make so that it matches the car width
I Also am wanting a good roof rack for snow boarding this winter. Can any one post pics of set ups they have done??
