Problem solved.
 

I talked to Thule customer service today (only open Tues - Fri)and was informed that seldom does their clamps lockdown far enough to bypass each other. As long as they are under the bar and the connection is tight they are ok. I tried to cut off the end of the plastic aero foil on the bottom of the crossbar that was impeding the front clamps. The piece popped loose. It was adhered to the bar with strip of clear adhesive that was making contact only on the end. The second one was the same. End of story.

Thanks, looks nice !

I am getting my Yakima box on Thursday, should mount it over the weekend. Will post pics.
