Yakima - American autos.

Tuhle - European autos.

However, given this last season's experience...Yakima. Why?

The Tuhle seems to have excedingly narrow tolerance for different roof configurations...ie. Volvo to Saub transfer...once the Tuhle was set for one roof...it stripped its threads and required a return to the dealer...with half a day's travel lost. Tuhle did uphold the warrenty. Once it is set for your roof, marker-pen the locations on the bars AND on the roof-edge ... don't crank too far because some parts might be cheap China crap...and not the grand ol European Bessemer-Sheffield steel type.

Sincerely,
