My Yakima "naked roof" roof rack was easy to install because the Yakima instructions were very good and when I called etrailer to clarify some details the etrailer rep found my answers very quickly. Evidently, she knew where to look and was familiar with the product I was calling about, which was excellent. The only thing that would have improved my experience is if Yakima or etrailer.com had clarified, in instructions with shipment, that the Yakima Q-83 (for Honda CR-Z) Q-Clips n pads would also work with my CR-V. Yakima lists Q-131 for a CR-V in literature with shipment, so I had to call etrailer to make sure I could use the part shipped with my car. 49964

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Subaru Impreza 5-Door with Fixed Installation Points
  • Your 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback has fixed points on which you can install a roof rack. That is what those thread holes under the covers are for. For this type of roof rack, you can use the following parts: Crossbars, # Y00408 Landing Pad 11, # Y00233 (you will need 2 sets) Control Towers, # Y00214 A system that installs on the fixed points like this one will look more OEM than a system that clamps on.

  • Installing Yakima Roof Rack on 2012 Subaru Impreza Using Fixed Rooftop Attachment Points
  • If they are removed carefully so that the locking tabs are not damaged, the small panels that cover the attachment points can indeed be replaced when the rack is removed. Typically, you would gently pry the covers up with a small screwdriver. Your owners manual should have specifics on how to remove the covers. You would need: Yakima 48 inch crossbars, part # Y00408 End Caps for crossbars, part # Y8007026 Yakima Landing Pads, part # Y00233 Yakima Control Towers, part # Y00214 To redu

  • What Protects the Kayaks from the Crossbars When Using the Yakima BigStack Kayak Carrier
  • That is how the Yakima BigStack, # Y04041, works. The posts support the kayaks and provide a tie down point to secure them, but nothing between the bars and the kayaks. I have linked the instructions for you. You may be more interested in the Rhino-Rack J-Style carrier, # S511-S511X. This carrier is shaped more like and upside down T or 2 Js back to back and has a support that the kayaks rest on so they are not in direct contact with the crossbars. It fits round, aero/elliptical, and most fac

  • Parts Needed to Add a Yakima Roof rack to a 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback
  • The 2012 Subaru Impreza hatchback with naked roof uses Yakima Q83 Q Clips # Y00683. You will need to order 2 sets of these since they come in 2-packs. These clips are compatible with Q Towers # Y00124. The proper crossbar length for the Impreza is 48 inches so if you need to add bars use # Y00408. If the bars you have are longer than 48 inches, you can still use them provided they do not stick out behind the widest part of the vehicle (the side mirrors in most cases) or provided they are with
