If you own a classic ride with traditional rain gutters, the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers could be your perfect match. These towers clamp directly onto your vehicle’s rain gutters, offering a stable base for Yakima crossbars. The robust construction of tough Zytel nylon ensures these towers stand the test of time with a weight capacity of up to 165 lbs. This means you can confidently carry your sports gear or luggage without a second thought.
Worried about theft? The Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers are lockable with SKS Cores, which means all your Yakima locks can be keyed alike. No more fussing with multiple keys. The SKS cores secure the crossbars to the towers and the towers to your vehicle, adding a layer of protection for your gear.
Every vehicle roof is unique. The 1A Raingutter Towers are designed with adaptability in mind, adjusting easily to non-parallel rain gutters. Want more clearance? You can add the 1A HiRise Spacers (sold separately) to elevate your crossbars an additional 3 inches. No matter your setup, these towers are ready to accommodate.
No one wants to spend hours fiddling with complex installations. This system’s simple design means attaching your roof rack can be done with ease, making it suitable for fitting onto a wide variety of vehicles, including older models that other racks might overlook.
Investing in car accessories can be a big decision, but with Yakima’s lifetime warranty, you’ll have the assurance you need. This long-term coverage underscores the product's reliability and the manufacturer’s confidence in their craftsmanship.
Buying a roof rack system isn’t just about strength—it’s also about getting the complete package. The Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers come in a convenient set of four, offering you everything you need to kickstart your rooftop adventure setup. Whether you plan to mount just one accessory or a full load, these towers have got you covered.

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.
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 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’ve been using Yakima stuff for 40 years. Thanks for having spare parts
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.
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.
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.
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!
I had a set of these years ago and needed a roof rack to transport a 12’ ladder. It took awhile to get the order fulfilled but that was mfg supply problems. The follow up was top notch and they arrived earlier than anticipated.
Got just what I ordered, quickly. Yakima rack system. For 2008 van, now I need to order one more set.
Ez to install and look good
