I installed the Yakima 42" rails (permanent) with landing pads (#1). The yakima control towers/48" crossbars take literally seconds to put on and off...couple minutes if you need to adjust the span between crossbars. I'm thinking of putting another permanent landing pad closer to the front windshield for longer loads (I might buy a kayak), but until I have a need I'm just using the rails.

I'll post pics if any want to see what that looks like with the towers/bars on and off. I went that route to avoid putting the rails on/off all the time for use, this way I don't have to have wind noise/mpg loss when not in use.
