I had a 87 Audi 500CST and successfully used a Yakima system.  I used the Y
clips, specifically, the Y34 clips and never had a problem.  I used the
system for 3 years between 1990 and 1993.  I sold my 87 and bought a
pre-owned 1990 Audi 200 Turbo.  I switched the Yakima rack over to that car,
used the same clips, and it still works perfectly today.  The finish is fine
(Yakima provides a rubber-like gray pad that goes between the rack towers
and the cars finish. ) 

The Yakima rack is approaching 10 years, however, it still works fine today.

Yakima replaced the Y clips with a new system called the Q System.  From
what I've read, the Q clips fit better than the Y clips.

Good luck.
