Video Transcript for All About the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes
Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this replacement lid support for the Yakima cargo boxes. Now this part here we'll replace one of the lid supports on your Yakima cargo box, and it'll work on the front and rear of the Yakima ShowCase which is part number Y07328 and Y07329. This will also work on the front of the Yakima Sky Box, part numbers Y07336 and Y07337, and also on the rear of the Yakima RocketBox, part number Y07193. This is for a quantity of one replacement lid support, and you can see that it does hop open like that when you open the lid.
And then when you go to close it, you just push it. It's got some strong tension on it to close it. It does come with the replacement lid support and the mounting hardware to install it, but again the tops open that way and then close it that way. But that should do it for the review on the replacement lid support for the Yakima cargo boxes.

Perfect fit for an older Yakima Rocketbox. Sturdier than the factory lid support. Great product!

I purchased this and the other replacement lid part (8880683) for my very old Rocketbox which had the 'scissor' style support. They went in easily, and I can now trust my lid to stay open, and not have the warped scisors getting stuck on things I am carrying. One thing I noticed, is that the stamped numbers on the plastic parts of this and the 8880683 part are identical, so it is probable that they are the same item with two SKUs

There is nothing wrong with my 15 year old skybox but after thousands of openings and closings the lid supports were not doing the job as well as they used to. I love that I can get replacement parts to essentially have a new box by replacing the guts without throwing away a perfectly good skybox. The pandemic caused a rush on Yakima parts with even Yakima support telling me to go to etrailer because Yakima restocks it’s resellers before it’s own inventory. Throughout the wait I received plenty of communication and was sent pieces of my rebuild as they came in. Great service and perfect replacement part.

This part has been on back order everywhere. I had to wait for several months to get it which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. The part fit my Yakima Rocketbox just perfect, instructions and hardware were included. I'm happy the box now opens and stays open! Etrailer was recommended by the folks at Yakima and they were very responsive and helpful. Thank you.

Perfect replacement part for the original, completely faulty supports for older Yakima boxes. Would be great if they were a warranty item from Yakima, since ALL the old ones fail. These do get out-of-stocked because of supply issues, but it’s NO FAULT of etrailer. They’re amazing. Thanks for the customer support etrailer!

Worked great and easy to install. A much different part than was originally on the box, but they seemed to work just fine. etrailer was the only ones who could get them to me in a timely fashion as they were backordered. I believe there was a part update at Yakima due to the poor performance of the last hinge and these were tough to get a hold of.

Works great, good replacement for the original failed part. Seems like it may not open quite as far as the original, but that part was failing so perhaps it opens just as far as a properly functioning original part.

- Replacement Lid Supports for the Yakima Skybox 21The Yakima Skybox 21 part # Y07337 made from 2014 to present has a much more aerodynamic shaped lid than the Yakima Skybox 21 part Y07184 made from 2009 to 2014 had. I have attached a photo of each so you can see the difference. If you have the 09-14 box then you will want to use part # 8880684 for the front lid support and part # 8880683 for the rear lid support. If you have the 14+ box then you will want to use part # 8880683 for the rear lid support. In order to replacing the locking...

- Availability Of Replacement Parts For Older Yakima SkyBox 16 Hello John, thanks for reaching out. We do have the replacement lift hinges for the Yakima SkyBox 16. For that you can use the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880684. That said, the pieces riveted to the top lid are not replaceable, so if those are missing there would be no way to repair them are connect the lift hinges to the lid. I wish I had better news for you but we get people asking about the riveted pieces from time to time and according to Yakima they are not...
view full answer... - Replacement Lid Support for Yakima SkyBox 21 Cargo BoxWe do have the correct lid supports for your Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337. You said you needed the rear lid support, but I will also list the front support in case you have a need for those at some point: - Rear Lid Support: Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880683 - Front Lid Support: Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880684
view full answer... - Replacement Hinge for Yakima Space Booster 11 Cargo BoxI checked with Yakima and unfortunately they do not offer replacement hinges for their Space Booster line of cargo boxes anymore. This line has been discontinued and you may be able to find used parts on classified ads or personal listings, but they are no longer on the market as replacement parts. I know this isn't ideal, but the best solution we can provide is a different cargo box entirely. Yakima's new cargo box line is called the SkyBox and they offer a 12 cu ft version, part # Y07334....
view full answer... - Which Replacement Hinge for Yakima SkyBox 18 or 21So even though your Yakima SkyBox 18 #Y07336 or SkyBox21 # Y07337 has the diamond shaped hinges currently, those are an older model hinge that is no longer used by Yakima; you also won't be able to use the Replacement Front Lid Support 8870090 since they are not the correct size for your larger box. Instead, you will want to replace both of the hinges on your box per Yakima's recommendation. You will want to use # 8880683 for the front hinge replacement and # 8880684 for the rear hinge...
view full answer... - Front and Rear Hinges for a Yakima SkyBox 21 Cargo BoxI spoke with Yakima, and they said that the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880684 and the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880683 are the essentially the same thing minus the spring color, oddly enough. But, even though they appear to be essentially the same thing, Yakima does specifically say that you'd need to use # 8880684 for the front and # 8880683 for the rear on your Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337.

- Replacement Lid Support Arm for a Yakima SkyBox Manufactured Between 2009-2014It looks like you have the older model of the SkyBox manufactured between 2009 and 2014, which would make the Replacement Lid Support # 8880684 correct for the front lid support and # 8880683 for the rear lid support.

- Replacement Front and Rear Hinges for Yakima Skybox 18The correct updated front and rear hinge/lid support for a Yakima Skybox 18 is the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes part # 8880683 for the front and then the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes part # 8880684 for the rear. I know your existing hinges/supports may look a bit different but this new design will replace them so no worries here.
view full answer... - What Is Needed to Install the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo BoxesAccording to Yakima, to install the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880684 you'll need to use a mallet # PT24FR because it'd be too difficult to do by hand.

- Replacement Parts for Yakima Rocket Box Rooftop Cargo CarrierWe can help you tune-up your pre-owned Yakima Rocket Box rooftop cargo carrier with replacement parts. The page I linked for you displays all Yakima replacement parts for rooftop cargo boxes, including mounting kits, hardware parts and lid supports like # 8880684. Given that the box may be a few years old the exact original replacement parts may no longer be available but often alternate parts can be made to work.

- Replacement Struts for a Thule Adventurer 650 Cargo BoxThe Yakima struts, part # 8880684 are not able to work in place of the Thule struts, as they are too big, and the Thule boxes do not have a metal insert to catch the strut. Instead, your box can have its struts replaced with part # TH14933, which is the smaller variant of the Thule struts.
view full answer... - Yakima Skybox 21 Replacement Lift StrutsI checked with Yakima and for the SkyBox 21 made from 2009 to present the lift struts are part # 8880683 for the rear and # 8880684 for the front.
view full answer... - Availability Of Replacement Parts For A Yakima RocketboxWe do offer the rear lid support # 8880683 which is the correct front and rear support for several models of the Yakima Rocketbox. We also sell replacement lock cores and keys # Y07202 which can be used to replace the locks on your Rocketbox. If you are trying to obtain other specific parts, you may be able to contact Yakima directly and have them run the serial number.
view full answer... - Will I Still Be Able to Open The Yakima SkyBox 21 With The New Style Lid Support HingesYes, the Replacement Front Lid Support # 8880684 and Replacement Rear Lid Support # 8880683 will still allow your Yakima SkyBox 21 to open from either side. These are a more durable support than the diamond style with the multiple arms like you have.
view full answer... - Replacement Front And Rear Lid Supports For A Yakima RocketBox Pro 11I am unaware of any aftermarket replacement parts that will be a direct fit for your Yakima RocketBox Pro 11, so you will need to stick with Yakima parts for the replacements. With that said, we do have what you need to complete this task. You will need the Replacement Front Lid Support for Yakima # 8880683 and the Replacement Rear Lid Support for Yakima # 8880684. These will be the direct replacements for your roof box.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Front of 2009-2014 SkyBox 21 Lid Being LooseThe first thing that comes to mind is that maybe your front support arm is a little loose or worn. I reached out to my contact at Yakima who said that sometimes they can warp or get twisted which could then result in the lid being a little loose. If you check that out and your front support does look like it needs replacing then you can do so with part # 8880684. The only other thing my contact at Yakima said she knows could be the problem is if some of the latches might not be secured...
view full answer... - What Replacement Front and Rear Supports Do I Need for My Older Yakima Skybox?I confirmed with my contact at Yakima that the length of your box fits the dimensions of the older Yakima SkyBox 18 # Y07336 or the older Yakima SkyBox 21 # Y07337. Both the SkyBox 18 and the SkyBox 21 use the same replacement rear and front supports. The front support is the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880684 and the rear support is the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880683. I recommend writing these down for reference because the description of...
view full answer... - Replacement Rear Support for 2009-14 Yakima Sky Box Cargo BoxI have a solution for you, but the # 8880684 is actually the front replacement for the SkyBox Y07336 and Y07337 models. To replace the rear support, you'll need the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880683, which is a confirmed fit on the SkyBox Y07334, Y07335, Y07338, and 8007339. You'll only need 1 of these to replace the rear support as they've done away with the older style diamond shaped rear supports you're referring to.

For the front lid support you need Replacement Lid Support # 8880684 while for the rear lid support you need Replacement Lid Support # 8880683.
view full answer... - Replacement Lid Supports for Yakima RocketBox Cargo CarriersI was not able to locate a Yakima RocketBox with that model number. We do have the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880683 which replaces the front and rear supports for RocketBoxes 8007147, Y07191, and Y07192. It also replaces the front of RocketBox Y07193 while the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes # 8880684 replaces the rear of RocketBox Y07193.

If you still aren't sure let me know what box you have and I'll look further into this.

The replacement is built better than original and after a year, it’s still rock solid.
