Video Transcript for Review of Yakima Roof Rack Parts - Replacement Windshield Bracket Assemblies - Y97ZR

Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're taking a quick look at the replacement brackets and hardware for your Yakima windshield fairing. So if something happened to that original hardware, maybe one of these guys snapped or broke or just got lost somewhere along the way. This is gonna be a complete kit to replace that hardware. So I have one assembled, how it would be on your vehicle minus the actual fairing itself. So you're gonna get the brackets, the straps, the push pins and then also a tightening tool for the strap to go around the bracket, around your bar on your roof rack. And you do also get some little clear protectors for your vehicle as well.

So this would go underneath the kind of the foot where that bracket makes contact with your roof to make sure that there's no damage or rubbing that happens there. So, let's take a little closer look. So you're probably gonna be already familiar with how these go together, but just as a refresher, you'll have that push pin that goes into the bracket and pulls in the fairing itself. So to get these on and off you usually can just push the pin in place. So it'll come with this popped up.

So if you just push on it it should expand out along the lines here. I'll bring this little closer so you can see what I mean. So when I push this in it's gonna expand and hold in place like that. So that's what's gonna keep that fairing tight against the bracket. Now, if you ever need to take it out you can loosen this by just putting in a Phillips head screwdriver and threading that back out.

As far as the strap, again, this should all be familiar to you, but just to review, the strap can easily be taken on and off by just putting the little T-end into the bracket, but to actually get it snug, you do need to tighten down this plastic nut on the inside. It does come with a hex key to tighten that up. So just turn that and it turns the little nut inside there to tighten that around. And once that's as tight as you want it to be you can take the excess and then put it into this little keeper on the back of the strap. Mine isn't quite long enough to really do that right now.

You might kind of go, I mean, you're probably gonna have this much tighter. There we go. Actually, we'll lock in. That's pretty much all there is to it. Again, it's gonna come with each of those parts and you're gonna get four of each of those parts. So you'll get four of the brackets, four of the straps, four of the push pins, and also four of those protectors. You only get one tightening tool. That's all you really need. That's pretty much all there is to it for our quick look at the replacement hardware for your Yakima windshield roof rack fairing.
