Roof rack question?

Anyone running Yakima roof rack instead of Thule? I've only seen yaris have the Thule roof rack. I got a yakima fairing and cross bars for free and want the yakima website stated they don't have anything that will fit the yaris. Any insight would be helpful!! thanks!!!

I know that this setup works for sure on the sedan. This is jminshew's sedan, also my next mod on my sedan.
2 48" bars
4 Q-towers
2 Q8 clips
2 Q96 clips
1 48" wind fairing
ALL YAKIMA.

Yeah I have the setup Cubano posted. With the wind fairing, there is no extra wind noise and it doesn't seem to affect gas mileage. Without the wind fairing, you get like 5mpg less and it's annoyingly loud. It fits fits perfectly on the sedan; no problems at all. The same setup will not work on the liftback since it doesn't have rear doors to clamp the rear Q-towers to.

i have this exact same set-up too for my 07 sedan. got the crossbars, q-towers, and a cargo box FREE from a friend. just had to buy the clips($25/pair), fairing($50), and thule bike mount($75). the fairing is worth it's weight in gold because as others have stated - it's LOUD without it!
