Congrats on the roof rack. Yakima Q towers have a little trick to them. It's not that important to "squeeze" the towers inward more as it is the angle they approach the roof (that one funky screw). I had the same issue as you did with my back towers on a saturn and spent 3 hours trying to get it on. The last attempt I actually LOOSENED that angle screw and it latched down perfectly tight. It's counter-intuitive but once you realize that, you can put it up really quick.
I have friends with Thule racks and some with Yakima's. From what I've seen, they're both really good racks. Personally, I'd say go with whatever one you can get cheaper. I got my setup for $70. Couldn't pass that up.
