I wasn't sure the Side Loaders would work, as I was using them to add a set of 1A Yakima mounts to a metal frame on a small kayak trailer. The mounting surface was dead vertical, so I was not certain the mounts would grab sufficiently to be secure. I've used these on several jeep hardtops over the years with good success. Was happy to find that these would work perfectly and allow me to trailer my 'yaks safely.
Just what the new truck topper needed to continue using my Yakima Q towers. These are hard to find. Tempted to buy another set for the next truck 20 years from now.
I purchased the Yakima side loaders for my Leer Camper shell that's on my 1995 GMC K1500. These match up with my 1A rain gutter Towers and are strong enough to use with the larger 70" round Yakima bars. Both sets I ordered arrived to California in a few days and were complete with all necessary parts. Thank you for an excellent purchasing experience.
As described, with fast delivery.
I like the brackets
I always like getting stuff from etrailer. Fast turn around, low shipping cost and always on time. I also like the videos they have on the parts or equipment they sell.
Extremely long wait for item. I know this is not etrailer fault but it was still frustrating. Customer service was helpful and stayed in contact. Will see how next order goes. Thank you.
Side loaders are the only product I have found to secure racks to camper shells. Very secure, no water leaks into shell. Quality product.
Using as a universal mount point for another manufacturers Roof Rack. Well Made, strong and does the job quite well.
great, accurate and timely shipping.
Worked the way I wanted. Simple and easily to install.
OEM piece that does what it is supposed to do.
Great parts , and they were all the right parts , delivered to your door !
Very fast delivery! I needed these to finish a project and couldn't find them in town and these were delivered next morning. Thank you!
Good stuff!!

For vehicles with rain gutters, start building your Yakima roof rack system with these 1A Raingutter Towers. Towers provide the base for your system, attaching to traditional rain gutters and holding crossbars (sold separately) in place.

Great parts , and they were all the right parts , delivered to your door !
Looks good now I just need a way to secure it with out the knob, and bolt.
Shipped quick. Direct swap out for my broken 1A Tower. Note: You must reuse the stud from original tower. This tower does not come complete and ready to bolt up. Not a big deal as long as you still have your old tower in hand.
I needed this Yakima replacement tower for a trip. Etrailer had one in stock and got it to me super fast. I was able to fix the roof rack and hullavator! Thanks so much.
I bought this part to replace a broken Yakima Rack Tower on the family tent trailer. One of the towers has been broken for a couple years and finally gave out completely. After looking around, found this on etrailer.com, the price was right, so i ordered it. Part was delivered exactly when promised and it was exactly what I ordered (and needed!) Looked brand new to me and fit just as it should. I almost want to order 3 more now, as this one makes the other 3 look bad :-). I will certainly look to etrailer.com for any future camper needs!
I purchased a single Yakima 66" round cross bar and a pair of gutter mount towers.
The Yakima mega warrior cargo basket and cross bar set up I have was super easy to install, very user friendly. The extra cargo space is great,
Customer service at etrailer is great. Shipment of my order was slightly delayed. I was made aware of the shipping status by email consistently until I received the products. Answers to my questions we're prompt and courteous.
I’ve been using Yakima stuff for 40 years. Thanks for having spare parts
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 :)
Thank again, etrailer. You always have what I’m looking for. I already had the bars, but I needed the towers.
etrailer never disappoints! Every product I need, I check that etrailer has it before purchasing anywhere else. Thank you for the excellent service, the fast delivery, and the email updates on order status.
Fits awesome on my 2016 jeep unlimited. Some wind noise but not a problem.

Still in love with it
I received the Rain gutter riser, 66' round bars, boat loader and SKS lock cores all well packaged and in good shape. These are for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon. The products were easy to install and will work great for loading and transporting my Hobie Outfitter Kayak. The Outfitter is a heavy kayak at 75 lbs unloaded. The Yakama Boat loader makes it easy for one person to load and unload the kayak. The rain gutter mounts and round bars securely hold the kayak for transportation. When not transporting the kayak the whole system quickly removes.
A big plus with ordering through etrailer is the excellent custom service, they will be my go to for future orders.
I chose the Yakima A1 raingutter towers for mounting a 96" Yakima crossbar for my Humvee wildfire rig rooftop gear rack. The towers are sturdy and able to handle the constant jarring expected in wild land fire fighting in rugged terrain.
Did an excellent job guys. The Yakima towers arrived on time and in good shape. Mounted right up to the canopy clips, installed the existing bars, kayak racks, and lock cores without any issues. All is ship-shape now. Will definitely come back to you guys again.
Thanks!
The customer service is exceptional. Nick went above and beyond getting the package out as well as dedicated follow-up. I will be ordering another roof rack for another vehicle. Even the return process was seamless thanks to Shelia. I ordered a tow hitch wiring harness a few months ago and received the same great service. Will continue to do business with etrailer.
Yakima rack arrived a day earlier than expected. All the parts were there instructions were clear took about half hour to install. The rack is a little noisy at highway speed. Darn, guess I'll have to take the back roads! Thumbs up to both etrailer and Yakima.
Awesome Company!
In the time of COVID doing business with this company was a great experience. I was kept informed by email by their CSR team as to when they would ship product and when it would arrive. Worked like a champ. Product fit my 1974 VW Baja as promised and now I can finally add the much needed Roof Rack System.
Thanks etrailer for being there and taking such care of your customers.

As always E trailer handled my order extremely well. Kept me updated on shipping also. Very professional!
