Dumb question but.... Have you clicked on the "fit my car" link on the top of the YAKIMA website? it tells you exactly which clips are needed for the Q-towers for your GS

It may be too late but you can go to etrailer.com and go through their wizard on their homepage. Then add to cart. It will show the correct qclips in the basket.

Curt hitch is the only prefabbed hitch available. I noticed that it's a class 1 hitch, does anyone have problems with using it with a yakima bike rack? I was looking up bike racks via web and I noticed yakima recommends atleast a class 2.

I have the SARIS T-Bones and it works perfectly on my class 1 hitch. It is actually a really sweet rack as it is aluminum and doesn't rust out. It is also very light weight (about 12 lbs without the mounting bracket that can stay in your hitch). It is also completely lockable (3 locks, same key) and can be mounted on the included base for inside the home.

Unfortunately, I will be getting rid of it along with the hitch as I will be getting a different car soon

To build one a bike rack for the roof on the Yakima website is over $500... i'll go back to stalking the classifieds.

FYI: REI having a sale on yakima 30% off right now.

Also Yakima roof racks the the clips can ruin your paint on the jams if you dont take extra precaution.
