Question:
Hi, I have a 2013 Scion xD. I am trying to get the Q clips as I already have the Q tower from you long time ago. I thought I could just get the new clips. It says Q8 is for 2013 scion xD but in your different roof rack Roof Rack by Yakima Both Q8 and Q83 were used. I am not sure what is the difference between Q8 and Q83. Can I use 4 Q8 on my 2013 scion xD? Thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2013 Scion xD both of the clips you mentioned are needed to install the Yakima roof rack but they have been discontinued by the manufacturer.
My recommendation for you is to use the roof rack consisting of the following:
Vortex aero crossbars # RRVA118B-2
Feet # RRRLKVA
Custom fit kit # DK060
This roof rack is great quality for the cost compared to other brands. It will also include the locks needed to secure your investment.
