I'll try to remember to take a couple photos, but here's the basic story.
The lid that hinges open, to reveal the fastening point in the roof, is a bit too wide. When open, it hits a bit of the structure underneath the Yakima LP-11. So with an exacto knife or something like that, I whittled about 1/16" away from part of the underside of the LP-11. That gave just enough clearance so the Yakima parts didn't actually touch the open lids.
Before I figured this out, the rack would press down on those lids, which either broke their hinges, or dislodged the covers & broke the snaps that hold them down to the roof.
