The Yakima Landing Pads are an essential component of the rack system in use on my vehicle. They are paired perfectly with the rest of the system and were easily installed and removed at the end of seasonal use-- though they could easily remain a permanent installation. The items are excellently constructed and have weathered their heavy use with no evidence of wear. 667660
Appreciate that this company had a # 15 Yakima landing pad set available for a very reasonable price. Order came through quickly and I'm back in business with a 2018 Subaru Outback using my older Yakima "towers" , bars and kayak saddles. Thanks guys! 562179
The rack system is nice, however, there are four plastic covers when the racks are not in use and one of them (front driver's side) will just not stay in place. Unfortunately, that means that the rain and weather will probably damage the uncovered parts. 425714
These installed easily and look nice. I didn't get the feeling that the mounting was quite rock-solid, although in fairness there's only so much that can be done given that they're at the mercy of the built-in Subaru mount points. With that said, I've carried things like plywood multiple times without incident (where the concern is the sheet acting like a sail and lifting up rather than pushing down), so they've done their job so far. 350076

Review from a similar LandingPad in Roof Rack
Easy to install. Not impressed with the fit though. The biggest selling point is being able to remove the towers and leave the pad though. Overall happy with the purchase. 523534

It says 4 pack on the item description and I got 2? And now there is no reply from etrailer about my inquiry. Is there really someone sending me a request to review this or is George J a computer ? 418906

Review from a similar LandingPad in Roof Rack
Product worked well with my already installed Yakima rails and the towers attached to bars that I use on another vehicle. Easily installed. Now I can switch the kayak carrying Yakima bar and tower rigs from one vehicle to the other with minimal effort. 494644

I recently purchased a rack system for my 1979 Ford Bronco to haul our new Kayaks. And believe me it was not easy to "fit" a vehicle as old as this. I had some interesting challenges - my truck has a 3" lift and only clears my garage entrance by about 1.5 inches, so whatever I got had to be easily removable (at least in the front). I also wanted it to be multi functional so that I could carry other stuff as well, and the Yakima/Thule systems are great for that. Lastly, I wanted whatever I put on the truck to look good as I have put a lot of time and $ into fixing up this old truck and I didn't want it to look cheezey..... Thanks to the good folks at etrailer I ended up with somewhat of a hybrid approach (my choice) but it worked out exactly as I envisioned it. I purchased the Thule Xsporter Pro system for the rear which works well with only minor modifications to the truck. I can lower it easily so I can get the truck into the garage without removing the system altogether. I really like that the tailgate is still functional with the system installed as some others I had in mind were bumper or hitch attached and would not allow use of the tailgate.... And, lastly it looks nice enough to just leave it on all the time. On the front I chose the Yakima JetStream cross bar held up by a pair of Yakima SkyLine Towers and Landing Pads which I chose because I can easily remove the crossbar/towers to get the truck into my garage. The Landing Pads have covers for when not in use and are small enough to not be too noticeable. I also added the security locks for peace of mind. I have added 3 pictures, the first shows the Landing Pads without the towers & crossbar. You can also see the Xsporter Pro on the rear in its lowered position. The 2nd shot is a closeup of the Skyline Tower. The 3rd picture shows the entire system installed ready for my kayaks (or whatever). Thanks again to the folks at etrailer for their expert advice and customer service. 408198

Review from a similar LandingPad in Roof Rack
This company is great! I was looking everywhere for a set of crossbars that would fit my pop up camper. After not being satisfied with the options I called the customer service line and spoke with Crystal. She was great at recommending which parts would work on my camper. I had a lot of questions and she answered them all. If she didn't know the answer she found out for me. I installed my new crossbars on my camper this afternoon and they fit perfectly! They're solid as a rock! I'm so excited to use them! 863989

Subaru stock roof rack was too low to accommodate a Roofnest. These landing pads towers work great and hold the Roofnest very tight when driving down the highway. 857584
Review from a similar LandingPad in Roof Rack
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. 853065

Parts were shipped the same day as I ordered them and arrived 3 days later -- 2 days sooner than the estimate. Everything fit as advertised. I couldn't be more satisfied. 852052

Review from a similar LandingPad in Roof Rack
I needed to mount racks on my new topper. Though pricy, Yakima products are so well engineered it's worth it. Wish there was not such a long wait for back-ordered products, but that's not the fault of etrailer.com. Etrailer.com service is great. I especially like the instructional videos. 828304
