These work great and integrate well into the OEM rack. You can either cut the rubber insert around the feet for the ski rack, or you can use the included straps (metal coated with rubber, keyed) to strap them around the bars. From what I understand, these are a little more robust than the Yakima option.

Pictured below with the strap mounting, but I later swapped to the more integrated mount, which makes the rack sit lower and closer to the crossbars.

You can size down depending on your needs, but I got the large one in case I ever need to bring a snowboard in addition to any skis. My car doesn't have fold down rear seats or a ski pass, so I needed either a ski rack or a roof box. I skipped the box to avoid needing to store it.
i got these and it works great
