Today, we have a 2009 Pontiac G6. Were going to be installing a Yakima roof 4X system. We have our Yakima Q towers over here. That's part number Y00124, we've got a pair of Yakima Q128 clips, that's part number Y00728 and weve got a pair of 58 inches bars part number Y00409. Before we get ready to install the rack, we need to go ahead and put it together, so we are going to take a pair of our Q towers. we're going to add our stickers to the inside, so that if we need to remove the roof rack later and put it back on, we'll know which half goes to the front and which half goes to the rear that we don't have to disassemble it and reassemble it every time, so we are going to start with our front cross bar.
Before you start to assemble your Q towers we need to take our adhesive pads and we are going to put them on the inside of our Q clip. This is just going to provide some extra protection from the clip against damaging your vehicle. We'll go ahead and repeat this procedure for all four of our Q clips. Once weve done that, were ready to start assembling your Q towers. To assemble our Q towers, we'll take one of the towers, one of our Q clips, one of the core holders and finally one of the retaining clips.
We'll slide the Q clip in the place, push the core holder through from the back and snap down with the retaining clip. Now, you can replace these core holders with a Yakima SKS lock cores. After we've done that, we'll go ahead and put the back cover and install the rubber pad on the bottom of the tower. The rubber pad just push into place. With that tower done, we're going to ot ahead repeat the same procedure for the other towers.
Now, we have all of our towers assembled, we'll go ahead and begin fitting them to our crossbars. We're going to open up the latch and open up this door on the side of our Q tower. That's going to allow its access to this bolt here that is used to tie the Q tower to the bar. We'll take our included allen key and unlock the tower. Screw release this clip here inside that well use to clip down our crossbars once we start assembling it.
So take your tower and slide over the end of the crossbar. Then we'll slip the other tower over the other side. Now, we're ready to set our crossbar span. Thats the distance between one Q tower and the other. We'll get to crossbar span pretty close and well take one of our Q towers and tighten it down. We'll measure from our fixed Q tower to the last loose one making final adjustments and then tighten it down. Now, we'll go ahead and install our end caps. They'rejust going to push in the place on the end of our tube. The assembly of the rear bar is going to work much the same, but our crossbar span needs to be a bit different. We need it to be 40 -3/8 inches for the rear bar. With our crossbars somewhat put together, we are ready to mount it on top of our vehicle. The first thing we need to do is open the doors in the front on both passenger and drivers side. Next, when we set our front crossbar up in the place on the roof. Now we need to position our front crossbar assembly. We'll measure 8 inches from the edge of the windshield to the leading edge of the Q tower to position our front bar properly. We also need to make sure that our crossbar is centered from left to right. We look pretty good, so now we are ready to go ahead and tighten down and secure our front crossbars assembly. We want to make sure that our Q clip fits against the edge of our door frame like it should. We'll start to close down the door. You'll want some firm resistance but you dont want to have force it down. We're a little tight on this side, and so we're going to take the adjustment screw and back it off some. Now, we'll go on to the other side and secure the Q tower there, and then our front crossbar is in place. Now we're ready to move on to the rear. To install our bar on the rear, again, we're going to need open both driver and passenger side doors, and take our rear bar assembly and place it up on top of the roof. We need to measure and set our crossbar spread. Thats from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. On our G6, we need it to be 24 inches. This measurement is also important when you go to select accessories to use with your roof rack. Keep that in mind when you are looking for roof basket, roof box or bike carrier, and now we're ready to tighten down and secure our rear crossbar, and thats it for our installation of the Yakima round crossbar roof rack on our 2009 Pontiac G6.

My wife just called me and said she has received it. She called me before I saw your email. I have bought a couple of things from etrailer and must say the customer service is exceptional. Even a phone call to ask a question before a purchase everyone is polite and courteous. I own a business with 47 employees so I know how hard customer service can be at times. Keep up the great job 590788
Ordered this SKS kit for a used set of Control towers I purchased. The directions are very easy to follow and they are a breeze to install. My control towers are secure and having one key for all four locks makes it simple to maintain. 593280
Everything about my etrailer order was fantastic. ordered a large amount of items at once, some of it oversized, and everything arrived at my door in less than 48 hours from the time I clicked purchase. I'm pleased with the quality of etrailer and the products they sell and will definitely purchase from them again and recommend them to friends and colleagues. I'm road trip ready thanks to etrailer! 40314
Just wanted to say the 4 locks fit and work perfectly. I also ordered a cover plate for the base tower of my Yakima rack, again perfect fit and the new locks will prevent any from popping off in the future. The shipping was fast and free. Also the customer service was amazing. E-Trailer will be my go to in the future. Thanks. 593182
This was my second large order from Etrailer.com and my wife I are VERY pleased! Our first order was a Curt 5th wheel hitch which performed as advertised - so easy to use. Now we haul our 5th wheel camper and that takes up my entire full sized F250 truck bed which in turn messed up hauling the kayaks back there. I was leaning toward rigging something up on the back of the camper, saw lots of posts on how to many looked very sketchy. Rather than risk dumping our two $$$ fishing kayaks onto the highway.... somewhere..... we bought this GREAT Yakima roof rack system for the TOP of my truck cab. You see, it made me uneasy that I wouldn't be able to keep an eye on our boats if strapped to the back AND we read about many horror stories not limited to the rear bumper falling off from fatigue. Yakima Install; I'm a General Contractor and fancy myself a pretty handy guy so mounting the towers, the rack bars, and all of the accessories onto those took a total three hours. [on-line] videos very useful and follow the easy to read instructions that come with each part and you'll have NO trouble. I have to add, etrailer said it would take one week but I received the complete order within four days. Thank you etrailer for making the ordering through delivery experience so very streamlined! 529291
The product works as described and couldn't be happier with them. They were easy to put on and work rather well on my roof rack for my Mini Cooper. 714853
Works as expected 706774
Looks good, very solid. Although, I have yet to put it through its paces. But seems very secure and will definitely do the job. 707444
The finishing touch to a already great product. Very simple installation and works great. 691526
I just finished installing the Yakima Roof rack - easy to follow instruction and great support via etrailer web site ! I did have one small issue with a missing piece BUT the tech/support staff at etrailer.com took care of the problem immediately and were very helpful - the missing piece arrived in about 2 days ! Super job to your great customer service ! Thank you ! 688571
Great product and Sales Support from etrailer. I bought this for my Son as a Grad/BDay gift for a Honda HR-V which has slightly odd roof/door shape He installed it himself said the install was straightforward but the instructions could use a little improvement. etrailer Sales Support was great, I was a little concerned about getting the right parts and the return policy. Olivia was great to work with, she offered recommendations and matched the parts to the type and vehicle it was to be installed on along with a kayak mount. All the parts arrived in mint condition with no missing pieces. I'll for sure return to etrailer on future purchases. 666103
These roof racks fit nicely to my Audi Allroad station wagon. I am quite pleased with the appearance--now I can easily find my car in crowded parking lots! I should caution anyone who chooses to install this set themselves: There are many parts needing careful assembly. Even though a mechanical engineer I found the process confusing and difficult. 659308
Now I don't have to worry about some jackass stealing my $600 Yakima rack. It seems expensive for the locks until you consider the price of the rack. 634981
Good prices good service and reasonable shipping. Better than amazon this time thanks guys 577834

Holding up fine
Doug - 07/01/2019As usual etrailer has what I needed. Fair prices and quick delivery. I also like Yakama products. I always know Yakama will do the job and not fail on me. Thanks 523487
I bought several 'universal' roof racks for my Malibu Maxx. None of them worked like they said they would; big waste of money. This Yakima roof rack is very expensive, but at least it actually fits onto my car, like I wanted! 523328
Very simple product to install and work fine so far. 514459
We purchased the Yakima Skyline Towers roof rack with the Jet Stream crossbars. Took about 2 hours to install on the naked roof of our Flex. I drilled through the roof strip for the mounting bolts and they fit tighter than the factory rails. Very happy with our choice. 506389
This locking system gives me peace of mind. It was so easy to install. I’m very happy with this purchase. 474317
These are so easy to install! I've used with one boat and two. They work great. I bought a second set because it's tough reaching over the truck to secure the second kayak. I bought the locks for them, because of how easy they are to get on and off. 423144
Great product, well made. 402191

Standard SKS locks ordered for my Yakima Jetstream Baseline towers. These were received on time and were well-packaged. 335186
Just as ordered. Haven't installed yet, but video was pretty straight forward. Should keep my Yakima towers safe and secure to the Yakima landing pads. 293314
Works well but as senior citizen, can't seem to punch lock thru hole lock structure with key. May have to take and have someone else to finish by problem. 293137
Just received the lock cores and they fit perfectly. Installation was easy and now we're off to go kayaking with more piece of mind. I would highly recommend these locks! 280093

Good quality. Easy to set up! Takes less than a minute. 226784
I'm extremely pleased with the Yakima FrontLoader bike rack and SameKeySystem locks I purchased for my 2012 Audi Q5. The resources at etrailer made it easy for me to find the right rack and verify it would fit the crossbars that came with my Q5. The installation was a breeze. Far easier than a Thule rack I had some years ago. I also appreciated there was ZERO assembly needed for the Yakima rack. I had to flip the rear wheel ratchet lock around one of the 2 racks and insert the 4 lock cores, hardly what I'd consider 'assembly'. It took me about 20 minutes to get both racks up on my Q5's crossbars for the first time. Now that I'm familiar with the process I'm sure it will take less than 10 minutes. I'm thrilled that it's so easy/quick to get these Yakima racks on/off. There's no need to leave the racks on the car when not in use. Ordering from etrailer was quick and easy, plus the free shipping and no sales tax made the purchase here a no brainer. The only thing I found somewhat 'cheezy' was the "Free shipping count down clock" on the website. Leads you to believe their free shipping is about to expire at midnight, but it always resets, so shipping is always free. Why not just say "always free shipping" or "Free shipping until xxxx" and give a specific date/time when the offer will end and not just keep resetting it at midnight. 185108
This is the second time I've bought something from e-trailer. The website was very easy to navigate and I found what I wanted very easy. I ordered by telephone and Cathy T. was excellent in helping me. The product was exactly as described and shipping was very fast. 136287
I have always used Yakima roof racks because they are sturdy and flexible for the various activities I do from skiing, kayaking and canoeing. Also they work well carrying building materials or roof top carriers when additional storage space is required. The assemblage has a tight fit and can be put together easily from the directions. This is my second Yakima system. The earlier one was sold with the car I traded in and I needed a new set of towers. The rack is assembled and will be mounted as the boat season approaches. 115409
Without getting into particulars I think that Yakima roof rack products are well designed. I have been using this brand for years. If I have any gripe at all it is a minor one about the SKS core locks. The key entryway shield (the little metal piece that moves out of the way when the key is inserted) is oriented such that when the rack is locked it is oriented like an upside down shingle and is more likely to allow water into the keyway than if it were reversed. 109144
easy locks to install on a Yakima Product. a bit pricey for what you get, but if it keeps some low life from stealing your rack.........a good deal! 99378
Easy to order and easy to install! 98970
The product was just as advertised and the shipping was very prompt. The installation was even easier than the CD made it look. In less than 10 minutes the rack was unboxed, assembled and installed including the lock sets. I have found the folks at etrailer.com to be very efficient and easy to work with in all the products I have ordered from them. 97823
The rack has worked better than advertised. Again the people at etrailer.com are very easy to work with.Howard
Howard - 09/01/2014Very easy to install. Small price to pay to keep your roof rack safe and secure. eTrailer shipped my order quickly and for a great price. 95146
I have included a picture of my 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse, with the Yakima Q System and Even-Keel Kayak saddles. I also used a stretch Kit, which I picked up locally due to time constraints. I'll be sure to keep you guys in mind when I am ready to get additional parts for the system. 92526
