Video Transcript for Yakima RailGrab Roof Rack Installation - 2004 Ford Explorer

Today on this 2004 Ford Explorer with factory raised side rails we are going to be installing a Yakima Railgrab roof rack system. Once you have your crossbar assemblies all put together you are ready to install them up on your roof. Before we start tightening down our front crossbar assembly we need to make sure that the crossbar is running perpendicular to our factory side rails. We are going to measure from a fixed point at the front of our side rail to the edge of the railgrab tower to ensure that the crossbar is perpendicular. We also need to make sure that the crossbar is overhanging evenly from both the left side to the right side. We will visually check the crossbar from the front of the vehicle to check our overhang. Once we have our positioning set we will take the included allen wrench and start to tighten the system down. The black bolt will tighten up our Railgrab tower to our side rail. The silver allen head bolt towards the top of our Railgrab tower will clamp the tower onto the crossbar and secure the crossbar. Once we have the front crossbar assembly tightened down we can go ahead and place the rear and get it posititoned correctly. 1:00

Next we need to ensure that the rear crossbar is running parallel with our front crossbar. To check this we are going to measure our crossbar spread from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. Next we will take the included allen key and repeat the same tightening procedure that we used for the front. Yakima also provides the option to install their SKS lock core system. After you remove these plastic knockouts you can install the SKS lock cores. And that does it for the Yakima Railgrab roof rack system on our 2004 Ford Explorer with factory raised side rails.

Attached are a few pictures of the Yakima 00138 Rack System Towers for my 2011 GMC Terrain. UPS delivered it this afternoon and it was on the Terrain within one hour. Easy assembly and rock solid on the Terrain factory installed side rails. The Yakima Crossbars are spaced 29 1/2 " apart. I am very pleased with the quality of components and I will buy Yakima products again.6127

  • 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara Roof Rack Rail Grab Towers and Cross Bar Recomendation
  • Yes, the Yakima RailGrab Towers for Flat and Raised Side Rails, item # Y00138, will work on the factory rack on your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. Along with the RailGrab towers you will need the Round 48 inch CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System, item # Y00408, to complete the system.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 GMC Acadia with Factory Rails
  • Yes, you would need a Yakima Roof Rack for 2010 GMC Acadia, part # Y00409, Y00138. This will give you a set of cross bars that will mount onto your current roof rails that run from front to back. I attached a link to a review video that will help explain how it installs and operates.

  • Will Yakima Railgrab Towers # Y00138 Fit 2008 Saturn Vue and 2004 Honda Odyssey with Factory Rails
  • The Yakima RailGrab towers, part # Y00138, combined with the Yakima Round 48 Inch CrossBars, part # Y00408, will work on the 2008 Saturn Vue with factory side rails and the 2004 Honda Odyssey with factory side rails. I am including a link to a video review on the Yakima RailGrab Towers.

  • 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 offers longer cross bars in 66 inch, # Y00410, 78 inch, # Y00411, and 86 inch, # Y00420. Keep in mind that the weight limit for the roof of the 2011 Santa Fe is 165 lbs, and you should not exceed this weight, which includes the roof rack, Kayak, cargo box and all of the contents.

  • 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

  • Will Yakima RailGrabs Work on a 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4 Door Double Cab
  • 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 will need to use the small claws for installation on the side rails. 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
