• Will 50 Inch Thule Load Bars Fit Instead of 58 Inch Yakima Cross Bars for 2010 Toyota Prius
  
• I used our Fit Guide to determine which cross bars will work for your 2010 Toyota Prius. I found that the 50 inch Thule Loadbars, part # THLB50, will fit your 2010 Toyota Prius, if you do not have a glass roof. If there is a glass roof, you will need to go with the 58 inch Yakima Crossbars. Also, the 48 inch Yakima Crossbars, part # Y00408, will not fit your 2010 Toyota Prius. If your vehicle does not have the glass roof, and you decide to use the Thule Loadbars, part # THLB50, you will need

• How Much of a Roof Rack Crossbar is Covered Up by the Yakima RailGrabs
  
• I went out to the warehouse and pulled some Yakima RailGrabs, # Y00138, to measure the area that covers the crossbars for you. I got a measurement of 4-1/2 inches where the bar will be covered by the RailGrab and either end for a total of 8-1/2 inches. If your intended application cannot straddle the RailGrabs, longer bars would not help because the space between the 2 RailGrabs will not change, just the amount that is coming out the other end away from the vehicle.

• Are Longer Cross Bars Available for Use with the Yakima Rail Grab Towers on a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
  
• For installation of longer cross bars on your 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe with factory side rails you will need a set of Yakima RailGrab Towers, # Y00138 and a set of longer cross bars.

• Yakima Rail Grab Towers Recommendation for a 2001 Chevy Suburban
  
• The Yakima RailGrab Towers # Y00138 that you referenced would be the correct system for attaching a roof rack on your 2001 Chevy Suburban if it does not have cross bars that run from one side of the roof to the other. If you got a Yakima Round Bar # Y00408 along with the # Y00138 you would have a complete roof rack system for your vehicle if it has raised side rails that run from front to back. If your vehicle has cross bars already you would not necessarily need towers. I attached inst

• I checked with Yakima and as long as your 2012 Toyota Tacoma is a 4 door double cab model and you have the factory raised side rails on the truck, see attached photo, the Yakima RailGrab Towers, # Y00138, will work for you.

You would need to add a set of 58 inch cross bars, # Y00409, to complete the system and the maximum allowable weight load is 100 lbs for the 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4 door double cab with factory side rail

• I spoke with my contact at Yakima and we definitely have a solution for you. He said the Yakima RailGrab Towers, part # Y00138, will not work with your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. Instead, you will want to use the Yakima Q Towers Roof Rack Feet, part # Y00124, with Q132 Q Clips, part # Y00732. The Q Tower roof rack feet do not use the factory rails installed on your vehicle, but mount directly to the vehicle just above the doors.

• Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Ladders on a 2010 Ford Escape with Factory Side Rails
  
• If your 2010 Ford Escape is a hybrid, XLT, or XLS model I recommend a Rhino-rack system, # SXB3. The Aero bars can be fitted with load stops, like # S602 (sold in a 2-pack), and ladder slides, # SEGLK2B (sold with 2 for each bar), to help secure your ladder and make it easier to load and unload. If you have a Limited model Escape, use # SXB4 for a roof rack. The same load stops and ladder slides will work with this system as well. I have included links to a couple of videos of each roof rack

• Will Yakima LowRiders Roof Rack Feet Fit a 2000 Jeep Cherokee
  
• From what I could find, the 2000 Jeep Cherokee was available with 1 of 3 roof options. First, it could have a plain roof with no rack. Second, it could have a roof rack that includes crossbars that run side to side. And third, it could have tracks that run front to back. If your Cherokee has the tracks that run front to back, the Yakima LowRiders will not fit. If you have the factory roof rack, you will need the following parts to install additional Yakima crossbars: One set of crossbars,

• How to Install the Yakima RailGrab Roof Rack on a 2009 Subaru Outback
  
• Based on my research, you will want to use the medium claws to attach the RailGrab towers to the side rails on your 2009 Subaru Outback. If the small claws are currently on the towers, then that would explain why they are not making good contact with your side rails. I recommend using the medium claws to see how they fit. It does not matter if you tighten the silver allen bolts first or the black allen bolts. If it is easier for you to tighten the towers to the side rails before you center t
