Do you have any damage to the door gaskets/window trim with the Yakima rack? I have one, and wanted to mount it so I can quit taking my wife's SUV when I mt. bike but it seemed that the clips were very close to interfering with the window trim.
Also, do you leave it on all the time? Have you noticed any damage to the sheet metal?

My co-worker just showed me this thing called a Sea Sucker mount
http://www.seasucker.tv/
Basically the mount is held on by suction cups (although they actually have a pump mechanism to draw a solid vacuum), so it's easy to configure and take on/off.
I don't care to have a bike rack on my roof, so to me this solution is pretty awesome (at least at first glance). I'm gonna have to pick one of these systems up... I checked it out and it's $250 for the single bike mount... not too bad.

I picked up the Q Towers with the FatCat6 and the fairing for $490.34 from REI when they had 20% off.
I am guessing that the Whispbars setup might add a little to that amount.

REALLY want a roof rack but so damn expensive. Can those with yakima and thule racks chime in on the fitment of the legs? Doors still close ok? Any trim that gets messed up? I know I can get the yakima through sewell for a bit of a discount but the thule rack seems expensive everywhere. Guess I just missed out on the sale?
