Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the Thule Sonic M (used to be labeled L but they changed it for some reason) that I picked up from REI during the members sale, can't beat 25% off. Once you have the crossbars on, you'll just adjust the Thule feet from inside the box to match up with the crossbars and then tighten them down until they click. It's a really simple setup and works well. I'm still trying to find out the max speed the carrier is rated at though, but I've had no issues up to 90 mph with mine.
