Yakima Q tower owners:
I'm installing the front q towers on my Focus, but these Q5 clips don't seem to fit flush.
I installed them and assumed they're normal, but when I installed the rears with the Q83s, those seemed to fit much better.

All my M measurements seem to be correct. the towers are both the same distance from the rubber strip on the roof. Any tricks to getting the Q5 clips to fit flush or is this just the way they look?
The sticker was applied to the clip, but the force when tightened caused the clips to want to pull away from the car causing the sticker to pull away from the clip.
Thanks
