Question:
Hi, I have a 2000 VW Eurovan that has kwik rail brackets installed. Would the Yakima 1a towers fit these brackets? Are there other options? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
From the looks of your photo, you have the Side Loader Mounting Brackets for Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y08002. I confirmed with my tech at Yakima that the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers (QTY 4) # Y00101 fit these Kwik-Rail mounts. For theft-deterrence, I recommend the Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204.
If you need Yakima RoundBars to go with the towers and the brackets, I recommend one of the following crossbar sets:
- Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00408
- Round 58" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00409
- Round 78" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00411
The length of the crossbars you need depend on the width of your roof. If you end up going with the 78" crossbars, I strongly recommend that these crossbars do not extend past your side mirrors on your Eurovan. Not only is this dangerous, it may also be illegal.

I just wanted to point out that in the picture, the KWIK-RAIL is mounted upside-down. The "shelf" section of the bracket should be on the bottom. which allows the base of the 1A tower to be captured within the pocket of the shelf.
