I have just read the postings about installing Yakima tracks on the MDX-seems like a decent option but still not as good as the setup on my old Audi A6 wagon.
Audis have racks that are installed longitudinally (sic?)--crossbars fit on Yakima adaptors called Doublecross. This method works great because there is substantially less wind noise when the are no horizontal bars over the sunrack. When you do not need to carry anything, take the cross bars off the truck--very easy to do with the doublecross mounts. So the question is--can longitudal racks be mounted on an MDX? The prior postings indicate that there are three studs on each side, so the racks could be secured without drilling new holes. Crossbars are infinitely adjustable with this type of set up. But where can I find a rack of this type that fill fit an MDX? A pair of black anodized racks would look great on my silver MDX...
