I have had 2 Yakima racks and 1 Thule rack in the last 10 years.
Each Yakima rack was trashed and falling apart and rusty within 2-3 years.
The Thule is still in use and in great shape after 7 years.
Thule is much higher quality than Yakima....hence this higher price, but in the long run its well worth it.
DO NOT buy the Thule crossbars from your Thule dealer. Buy the special Saab crossbars (about $110) from http://www.saabcatalog.com and then purchase your Thule attachments for it. These bars require no locks b/c they go into your 900's factory rack slots in the door channel rubber. They also make no contact with your roof, so they don't ruin the paint If you have a 3-door there is a special slotted rack foot that comes with the 3-door kit from Saab.
