Anyone know where I might be able to purchase a set of Yakima Ridgeclips RC 37 for a Yakima Ridgeline roof rack system? I had thought I had successfully ordered some from eTrailer and then went ahead and purchased crossbars, towers, and everything else, and now they've canceled the order as it's actually not in stock. Now it appears that no retailers in the US seem to have any, at least from a Google search. Earliest possible arrival is Feb or March I've been told.

On the hunt for Yakima Ridgeclips (37) for Kia Telluride

Any luck? Just got a Telluride and running into the same issue. Thule is all out as well, and I didn't love the OEM racks.
Never had any luck. I found one retailer in Canada but they won't ship to the US. I was entertaining the idea of shipping it to a friend in Canada and then to me, but instead went down the Thule route. I was able to find the Thule kit from RackOutfitters.com, although I see now they’ll are sold out. 
I was able to actually find a great deal for the Thule Wingbars on Amazon (brand new for $127), an Amazon open box deal for the Evo Flush Rail feet ($118), and then the kit for $120. All in all, it ended up cheaper for the roof rack system than I could piece together a Yakima used/new system.
It seemed much more possible to find the Thule kit than the Yakima (impossible). I had found a few retailers carrying the Thule kit, so I'd keep looking around if you haven't exhausted all options yet.
Now if I could only find a good deal on a Thule Force XT cargo box.

Thanks for the info! i like the thule one better anyway. Here's what I found:
- Kit: Looks like the right one? Canadian site but they ship to US. Shipping was expensive, but with CAD conversion, not horrible to get them sooner
- Rail feet: seems like a price too good to be true?
- Wingbars: Seems like a good deal? 53" the right size?
______________________________
So everything seems right. Definitely good deals on feet and bar. I had the same situation where Amazon UK was fulfilling the bars. I went for 60” as you can go either route and I prefer having a little more overhang clearance and horizontal space.
I had originally found the Yakima kit on this site. You should talk to them as it says on that page they won’t sell it without the whole system. Also they wouldn’t ship to the US because of manufacturer restrictions but that was Yakima.
Update here - they (racksforcars) made me buy the whole package, but given you can't find the kit ANYWHERE, I was fine with that. I called them yesterday morning, and apparently it is being delivered today! No issue shipping to Colorado from Canada.
