Can the Yakima Q-Towers Be Used On a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan

Question:

Hello, I have a 2017 Honda Civic 4dr. I already have a Yakima roof rack system. However the q tower pads are worn out and wanted to see what type of pads i now need for this car. I took the bike rack system from my now sold Honda CRV.

I do have an option for you but there would be no way to reuse the entire Yakima Q-Tower Roof Rack on your 2017 Honda Civic because Yakima does not make a set of Q-Clips for this vehicle. The Q-Clips are actually the main vehicle specific part needed when transferring a system. The Yakima Q-Tower Roof Rack has been discontinued which is why you can no longer obtain new Q-Clips or replacement parts such as the Q-Pads.

The good news is that you can still use your old Yakima Round Crossbars. However, you would need the following in order to do so and this is your only option save for a new roof rack.
