Today on our 2015 Nissan Rogue we're going to be doing a test fit of the Yakima roof rack system for the 2015 Nissan Rogue. It's going to be a round bar setup with the factory RailGrab feet pads. If you look here, you'll see part number Y00138. This is going to be your RailGrab setup. It comes with a multitude of different feet that you can attach just by unthreading the bolt on the inside here and putting a new one on. This is a fully adjustable setup.
That way you can get it to fit your factory roof rail. This is for your factory roof rails and/or raised roof rails. Next you'll have your 48" bar; that's going to be part number Y00408. You can see that we already have one of the feet on here. We're going to put the other one and get it up on the top of the vehicle and show you how it fits and looks. We'll simply slide the foot pack on, place the end cap on the end, and we'll get it up on the vehicle and go from there. We'll go ahead and set it across.
With this I'm going to do a 30" crossbar spread, which means from center to center of my bars it will be 30". There's a 30" crossbar spread there. Let me do that on the other side as well. Again, getting your crossbar spread square is a key component to any roof rack and making sure that event goes smoothly, because if you get it on there crooked then as soon as you get a box on there or a basket or anything like that you're going to run into some serious problems. Next we'll take the included tool. We'll pop down the cap.
That is, if you do not have a lock set, you can just pop that off. If you have a lock set, go ahead and undo that and we'll pull it down. There's going to be two spots for Allen bolts here. We're going to screw in the bottom one first. This is going to secure our foot pack.
We're just going to get it semi-secure because the next step that we need to do is make sure that we get our bar overhang equal on both sides. Now to do this we won't measure off the back one because on a lot of vehicles the back of the vehicle is actually narrower than the front of the vehicle, so we're going to do it on the opposite side. Now that we have our bar overhang you can see that this is equal up here, but look how much different that back one is. This back one is actually an inch further overhang than that front one is. That can make a big difference when you get it up on top of the vehicle or you get things up on top of the vehicle. We'll go ahead and finish tightening down that bottom one and then the top one. The top one's going to secure that bar in place. Then we'll close that cap up. Let's go over to the other side and finish it. Always make sure you double-check event you do with this. Once you have it tight, close it up and you'll be ready to hit the road with your new Yakima roof rack system for our 2015 Nissan Rogue. Those are going to be part numbers Y00408 and Y00138. .

These multipurpose, galvanized steel crossbars supply the backbone for your aftermarket roof rack system. Works with accessories that clamp around the bars. Pair with Yakima towers, fit kit, and RoundBar SL Adapter to create a complete roof rack.I purchased clips that were stated as being compatible with our 2010 Chevrolet Impala. The front clips fit well, however the rear clips do not.
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.
I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.
Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.
I've attachec a few pictures of the Yakima rack on my Audi Q7. It took a few attempts to find the right combination of attachments, but in the end, the pin attachments work best with the access points on the factory flush-mount rails. Great product!!!!!
roof racks showed up in great condition, and showed up as one package.... I should have ordered the J racks from here but I found them cheaper locally so Thule J racks compliment the whole setup and i am just about ready to hit the water :)
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!
Everything from etrailer is timely and of good quality! The Yakima crossbars are no exception - they are indestructible.
The installation of this rack system went very well, all of the instructions were easy to read and use. I have attached some pictures of our installation. The vehicle is a 1994 Honda Accord EX four door sedan
Roof Rack 2008 Saturn Astra The roof rack arrived one day early...The packaging was excellent and the quality of the product more than met my expectations. The instructions made the insulation very easy. It took less than 45 minutes to install the unit complete.
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
Everything arrived as promised and earlier than expected just installed. Looks like it will do everything I need it to which is haul around paddleboards. So far so good!
Great product and very easy to install! I called in to put my order in due to not trusting myself in getting one that fits my car. Jessica W. Was beyond professional and helpful in the process. She went also well above her position and tracked my order and sent additional information. Couldn’t be happier with the product and customer service!
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
We got a Yakima Roof Rack system with locks and fairing for a "lime squeeze metallic" (Green...) 2011 Ford Fiesta 5dr Hatchback. Received the package yesterday and set it up within about an hour.
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.
Great products though, again, written instructions would have been nice.
Have been rocking my Yakima rack from etrailer.com for a year now. I am using rack in conjunction with a Tepui tent. Once I added the air deflector, I would say it's the perfect setup. The Yakima gives more clearance over the factory rack, so I was able to get my hands under it to secure the tent hardware. If you're thinking of upgrading your factory rack, I would not hesitate to use etrailer.com
The Yakima roof rack system is an Outstanding product. I purchased the product to replace the OEM roof rack because it was too flimsy to carry the tandem bike mount and my bike. The Yakima roof rack is solid and provides me the peace of mind while hauling my bike on the roof of my car. etrailer provided the product for the best price as always.
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.
We are so happy with etrailer. The product is high quality and it arrived one day before the expected day of delivery! Their customer services is exceptional - real people who know their stuff first hand. The installation was easy and is a prefect match for our Yakima Sky Box. We took the car to Zion National Park as shown on the photo taken at the Watchman Campground!
