Question:
'm sorry, I forgot to include a vital information to my question. I have in hand a ski rack Yakima Buttondown 6 that I want to attach to my Saab roof rack. I was told it's buttondown 6, I can't confirm it's really this model. I'm attaching pictures. I want to attach it to my roof rack, but the adapter is for the round Yakima bars. My car is Saab 9-3 2007 4dr with factory roof rack. The bars are rectangular size 1 1/4 by 7/8. I want to know which adapters to use for that. The Replacement Mounting Hardware for Yakima Roof Mounted Ski and Snowboard Carriers # 8830021 removing the plastic inner part or the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590?

Expert Reply:
For your 2007 Saab 9-3 with factory rails, I recommend the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails - Qty 4 # TH710401 which is compatible with the bars you mentioned, that are often simply referred to as square bars even though they are rectangular by measurement. I also recommend the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400 for increased security.
The manufacturer suggests using 50 inch bars which have been discontinued with this system. You can use the 50 inch # INB127 for compatible bars.
The Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories # Y03590 are the best fit for the Yakima Ski and Snowboard Carriers.
Let me know if you have further questions.
