Today on our 2009 Ford Flex, well be test fitting the Yakima round bar roof racking system, part number Y00409, Y00731 and Y00124. Now with our Q towers, Q clips and round bars already assembled according to the instructions. Well begin our test fit by placing the front crossbar on to the front of the vehicle. Well then need to measure from the front part of the glass to the first part of the tower, as stated in to the instructions this measurement is 20 inches. Well measure this on both the passenger and driver side of the vehicle to make sure that the crossbar is perpendicular to the vehicle and the pads on the bottom of the Q towers can tour to the root line. Once weve established this position on to the roof, well then turn the silver balls on the interior of the tower, and then clamp down the black plastic caps to secure the towers to the vehicle.
Well then repeat this for both side of the vehicle. Now the front crossbar secure to the vehicle will place our rear crossbar onto the rear of the vehicle. Well then need to measure the crossbar spread. Now the crossbar spread is the measurement from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. And according to the instructions this measurement is 36 inches.
Well measure this on both the passenger and driver side of the vehicle and assuring that both crossbars are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the vehicle. As measurement is important when choosing roof racking accessories. Once weve established this position to our rear crossbar, well again tighten on the silver balls in the inside of the tower and then clamp down the black berserk levers securing the crossbar to the vehicle. Now the roof racking system is assembled and secured to the vehicle, were ready to load up some accessories. And that completes todays test fit for the Yakima round bar roof racking system, part numbers Y00409, Y00731 and Y00124 on our 2009 Ford Flex..

The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
Great quality! They come with two different style bases. One flat, and one that is stepped to account for the raised area near the gutter trim. Good variety of screws to meet your application. My 2015 Mazda 3 (with fixed points) needed the medium length screws. Seems very solid!
I left the plastic gutter moldings on and just drilled holes for the screws to go through.
Works perfectly. I am always impressed that Yakima continues to make parts for the "old roundbars" since they have since moved on to the superior JetStream bars.
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze. For the money I wish they came with the core locks.
Everything came in a timely manner and ready to install. Looks great, solid rack.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
Kimberly has shown that great customer service is not dead! etrailer and Kimberly are great to work with and have earned my business and will always be the 1st and last place I look for my rack+ needs!
As for the application, I needed more space to fit my cargo box on top of my 4Runner TRD Pro’s rack. I came up this this… Thank you!
A great company to do business with, and lots of merchandise in stock. I orderd a roof rack for my truck on Tuesday morning and it was on the porch when I returned from work on Thursday. I will deffinitely order more from etrailer.com
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks
These crossbars were easy to install and adjust. Be sure to get all the pieces you need. There is no mention of the Landing Pads necessary to use these.
Great first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
Parts arrived quickly. Installation was a breeze. Everything needed for a quick and professional installation was included in the shipment.
I have been using Yakima racks for around 40 years and have never had any problems. However, I am amazed at the price increases over the years. Etrailer prices were by far lower than most. Overall, a very excellent purchase.
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
Yakima Landing Pad 22 is the only product I could find that is suitable for my Mercedes E450 Coupe. The car's panoramic glass extends close to where the fixed mounting points are, but Yakima has accounted for that by designing the LP 22 so that the small part that sits on the glass is not transferring the load. Also, the LP22 accommodates the flip-open doors for the four fixed mounting points on the Mercedes. Yakima instruction manual and etrailer.com videos are highly useful.
Only complaint is with the LP 22 Covers, which are supplied for when the roof rack (Towers and Crossbars) are removed. These covers are not usable - they do not snap into place and appear as if they were designed for a different landing pad. This is not a deal breaker for me because I remove the LP 22s whenever I remove the roof rack, but it will likely be a concern for others.
Haven’t used them yet but they should work as expected
Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.
first try was missing what was needed
Etrailer helped. It was great!
Great company. Fast delivery.
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
Yakima Crossbars were as you would expect - steel bars coated in a soft black coating (be mindful when you are utilizing these with the top mounts as the clamp will eat through the soft coating when you tighten them down). I had issues with my yakima round bar setup as the brackets and tower system were allowing water to leak in. This is in no way reflective of what youll experience but Yakima has superb support. I spoke with them twice on my issue and out of their kindness they shipped me an entire setup to replace my existing one for free.
Great service - great price
