Yakima Roof Rack (JetStream)

Hello everyone. I have a 2011 Honda Fit Sport that I would like to put a roof rack on.

I have narrowed my search to the following two products:

1) Thule Aeroblade
2) Yakima JetStream

I like that the Yakima has a higher load capacity (125 lbs vs 110 lbs), and that the Yakima has a longer crossbar spread (30" vs 29.5").
I have found pictures and videos of the Thule but none for the Yakima (on a GE).

Does anybody have any pictures/videos/threads that you can share with me or point me to of the Yakima JetStream on a 2009-2013 Fit?

I ended up getting the Thule Aeroblade since I could not find anything on the Yamika JetStream.

Be careful with rack I've seen some dents form on the roof on fits.

Make sure all cavities on the rails are covered. Manufacturers usually provide rubber pieces to fill in those cavities to remove the noise. Also a wind deflector may help with noise.

I've used the same Yakima roof rack on my two Honda Fits, no issues.
