Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima pads for the aero style crossbars. This is going to be 20" long, part #Y07412. These also come in 30" long as Y07413.The Yakima pads for aero bars are a simple solution for carrying your standup paddle boards, your surf boards, your canoes or your kayaks on the roof of your vehicle to your destination. While these pads come in a quantity of two, they do not come with the tie downs necessary to secure your loads so you will have to find those in etrailer.com. Yakima offers a wide variety of straps to do this.The foam padding is gonna help protect your standup paddle boards or boats from scratches or abrasions once it's being installed. The 20" length for our pads is perfect to fit most standup paddle boards and kayaks.
The anti-slip material at the top will also keep your gear in place while you install it as well and when you strap it down. This is easily less than a five minute install thanks to the hook and loop straps that wrap around your roof rack system. This'll fit around the core bar or JetStream Yakima crossbars as well as most factory roof racks or most other aerodynamic style crossbars. The pads measure 20" long by 3" wide by 2" tall.When comparing this with other roof pads, one that comes up is gonna be the Swagman Vapor Surf and Standup Paddle Board pad for Aero Crossbars, part #S65160. The biggest difference between these two is that with the Swagman, it is primarily designed to work with both surfboards and standup paddle boards, not kayaks or canoes.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the pads, let's go ahead and show you how they work.
You first want to open up all the hook and loop straps on the bottom here so we can wrap it around our bar. So we set this on our bar, make sure the thing setting over it. Then we'll go underneath and connect up our hook and loop straps. Make sure we go as tight as possible so we don't get it moving around as much. And we'll repeat this for our other pad as well.Next we can put our standup paddle board in place.
Make sure it's even on both sides then you can take whatever tie down straps that you may have and secure it to your roof. Alright, we are now ready to hit the road and show you how it looks and there you have it for the Yakima pads for the Aero style crossbars, part #Y07412.

Merideth, the associate who worked with me, was professional & friendly. She addressed all of my questions in a timely manner. Merideth gave me a number of options for buying roof rack pads for my kayak.
Etrailer has a great selection of roof rack pads in their inventory. They offer competitive pricing & charge a minimal fee for shipping. I received my Yakima roof rack pads in 3 days. The way they packed the pads, you couldn’t have damaged them if you tried to.
I was satisfied with every aspect of this transaction!
I purchased these for my Thule Aero bars and they are perfect. I needed to protect the cherry gunwales of my canoe during long road trips The pieces of foam pipe insulation I was using were definitely not up to the task and kept blowing off! The velcro attachments on these puppies are bombproof.
Poor shipping ordered on July 12th and haven’t received anything until August 14th. I only had one option for shipping which was UPS and after 2 weeks it got handed off to USPS and sat somewhere in San Francisco before making its way to Hawaii. Late gift.
Great pads, great service.
Well constructed pads and very easy to install
Great product easy install fast ship honest seller these are for my ladder rack to carry very heavy ladders without hurting my rack
Bought these crossbar pads for my 2020 Lexus RX350 F-Sport. They fit great on the stock Lexus crossbars and protect the bars from scratches and damage when carrying paddle boards and kayaks. Would definitely recommend this for anyone needing secure padding for wider crossbars.
Great pad to keep kayaks and SUPs from shifting around on Yakima aero bars. I've had a pair on 1 side of my bars for a few years now and they've always worked great carrying 1 kayak. Now I take 2 kayaks and the 2nd one shifted after a short drive with the straps secured. Not a good feeling, so now my 60" bars are fully padded and the boats stay tightly in place.
They do a great job. I am lazy and keep them on the rack all the time. Nine months in they still look good - I thought they would have bleached out. Of course Yakima quality came through as expected.
Great customer service. The pads were not in stock when i ordered them. I was given an ETA by etrailer and actually received the pads earlier than was expected.
Great service and price. Easy online transaction. Very fast shipping. Quality product and exactly as listed on website. Will shop with etrailer again!
Our order came and one of the Pads was defective. I called and it was amazing how fast they sent a new one to complete our order. Thank you for AAA service.

These pads are great. Used to cushion my Hornbeck canoe. Leaves room for kayak rack too. Very secure. Glad I got them!
