Where to Find Old Yakima Rack Clips

[Jim Dupree]

I could buy new Q towers but I have these and they fit
my ford. I would have to buy Q clips specific to my
car for the new Q towers and my ford or transfer the
the towers from rack to rack when I needed the ford.
It would just be simpler if I could find the right
clips. I'm also peeved at the rack store salesman that
said (in his condesending tone) that "Y clips don't
exist anymore", need to show him he is wrong! I have
found many places that have some Y clips just not the
Y-17's I need.
Thanks

Jim
