How To Remove A Yakima Roof Rack After Unlocking It
Question:
We have the key to the roof rack. Can put the key in and turn but I don’t know what to do next to unlock so can remove the rack from the van. Don’t want to force and break the key

Hi Karen,
If you're just removing the crossbars from the roof of your van you would just unlock the lock cores in the feet and then the feet will have a specific way of disconnecting from the factory rails or naked roof depending on the model you have. If you can tell me which feet you have I can give you more specific instructions for removing them.
To swap out your Yakima lock cores you'd need to unlock them first with your key and then you would insert the Control Key # Y8007835 and will need to turn the key to find the sweet spot where it lines up and pull the core out. You should be able to lightly wiggle it a bit while turning to find where it starts to line up.
