I've got an Avant also and since I already had a Yak rack system from my previous car, I just had to get Q towers(appx $110). Everything works great but to remove the rack, I had to loosen the rack to rail clamps AND the tower to crossbar clamps; basically took the rack apart to detach it. The jaws that clamp the rack to the roof rails just don't open wide enough to release it. There should be discussion regarding this in the archives. If I recall, it sounds like the Audi rack is easier to remove. Also, if you do get a Yak rack, don't get the wind deflector 'cause it won't fit our car.

if you use the rack frequently and want it to last. See my Sept 20, 1999 review at

I plan on getting a Yak when my Avant comes in. Previous posts in this forum make favorable remarks on their Doublecross mounts for the factory roof rails.
