Nate,
I have an old pair of Q towers*. They are of a vintage where they might not work with new fangled Yakima stuff (I have no idea).
I believe them to be in good repair (provided they haven't aged out of usefulness). If your car is an easy fit, you might be in luck.
If you want to check them out and see if you can wring more life from their little Q tower necks- I could try and meet you somewhere in Madison or something.
Let me know.
* Im not kidding- these puppies had a few years on them when the Dead Sea was just sick. I believe it was these are the same vintage towers that Homo Erectus used to haul all his cool shit out of Africa
