Uh oh, I didn't need to hear this. I've been running the round bars for three successive cars (13 years now) and quiet would be better. But cheap me doesn't want to spring for whispbars when mine are still working.
I've had my yakima skybox for almost 5 years, works just fine. I like having it on the wagon to keep the minions' stinky lacrosse gear in so it doesn't smell up the car. Plus when we go anywhere with the dogs, they get the back so luggage etc has to go up top. Loading from both sides is a nice feature to make sure the whole thing gets effectively filled.
