Speaker 1: Today on our 2013 Honda Accord, we're gonna be test fitting the Yakima RoundBar roof rack system, consisting of part numbers Y00409. These are the round 50-inch crossbars for the Yakima roof rack systems. Part number Y00146, theses are the baseline towers for the Yakima crossbars. Part number Y03536, this is the RoundBar SL adapter for the Yakima baseline, Skyline, Timberline and Ridgeline towers. Part number Y06148 and Y006150, and these are the base clip fit kits that you're gonna need for your vehicle.The Yakima RoundBar roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your rook or freeing up space inside your vehicle. These bars are tough and durable, and together have a combined carrying capacity of 220 pounds, but you always wanna check with your vehicle's manual to make sure you roof can withstand those weights.They're very easy to install.
They simple clamp around your vehicles doorframe. They come with these end caps here that just snap into place and also have a knock out for Yakima same-key lock system, which when installed, can secure not only your roof rack to your vehicle, but you can also make it key to like with whatever accessories you're installing on top of it.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack system, let's go ahead and show you how it installs. We already have our rear bar partially assembled on our table and we'll go through the rest of the steps. We'll start by installing our RoundBar adapter, starting with this plastic piece here that fits to the top portion of our tower. Just snaps into place.
We'll take our round bar adapter, which has this screw end on the bottom of it, line it up with that portion there, and we'll come to the end of this, pulling out this gray tab, flipping it upside down, going to the screw, which by loosening up that gray tab we can see now. Let's loosely install it at the moment. Then, we'll slide it on to the other end of our bar.We'll also install the pad portion of our fit kit. It just pushes in at the bottom of our tower until you hear a little bit of a click. Also, you wanna check your fit guide to make sure that this is in the proper notch.
If not, you loosen up the screw there and push it into its proper place. You can see that it moves our pad here. Once it's in its proper place, turn it to the side like that.Now, we're gonna measure it from tower to tower on the inside. Again, this measurement's gonna be in your instructions. Once you got that measurement down, we'll come back to that screw in the bottom here with our adapter piece and tighten it down the rest of the way.
You're gonna hear audible clicks once it's tightened down from our tool here. Like that. There you know it's tightened down enough and you're not gonna over-tighten it.Next, we'll put on our end caps here to hold everything in place. Do this on both sides.Now, we're ready to install it on the rear portion of our vehicle. We'll open up both doors to get ready to receive the rear cross bar. Set the bar in place. I want you to notice that I haven't put the clips in yet. I'm gonna do that in a second. I kind of saved that for the last thing that I do because I don't want the clips to possibly make contact with the roof of the vehicle and possibly scratch it. Make sure they're set evenly on both sides. Next, I'm gonna get the crossbar spread measurement. That's gonna be from center of the bar to center of the front bar. You'll find this measurement in your instructions as well.Next, I'll open up the little door here and our plate will slide to the inside like so. Then, we'll turn this screw. That's gonna lower our clamp onto our vehicle, as you can see there. We'll repeat this for the other side. Next, we'll tighten it down with the center screw here. Again, until you hear those two or three audible clicks. There we go. Then we can close that up. Then we'll put our end caps on. These two portions here fit into these hook portions there. Then they just snap into place. Now, we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road.There you have it for the Yakima RoundBar roof rack system on our 2013 Honda Accord.

Installs to the rain gutters on your vehicle's roof.Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
works good
A great company to do business with, and lots of merchandise in stock. I orderd a roof rack for my truck on Tuesday morning and it was on the porch when I returned from work on Thursday. I will deffinitely order more from etrailer.com
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 :)
As always E trailer handled my order extremely well. Kept me updated on shipping also. Very professional!
I ordered a Yakima Roof Rack for my Toyota Prius from eTrailer.com. Part of the reason for purchasing from eTrailer.com was the promise that the racks were made specifically for the car and would not dent the roof.
I received the rack on July 31, and installed the racks on my Prius according to instructions included with the racks. Our tandem kayak is 65 lbs . The towers were placed on the outer most part of the roof as indicated by the instructions. Yakima saddles were attached to the crossbars to hold the kayak. Nothing was close or touching the top of the roof. We transported the kayak to a nearby lake, 6 miles, and back. The next day we removed the racks from the roof and noticed 4 dents on the top of the roof. It was obvious that transporting the kayak on the rack caused the dents.
We had to pay $100 to have the dents removed from the Prius roof.
I cannot continue to use this rack that puts dents in the car's roof. I was extremely disappointed in the racks. In reading the Toyota manual and contacting them by phone, there is no mention of using or not using roof racks.
I was shocked to learn from Rachel at eTrailer.com that your company takes absolutely no responsibility for this Yakima product they sell. The best they can do is to pass the buck and refer us to Yakima.
Very disappointed, and out a lot of money for a product that damages your car. Will not recommend or buy here again. eTrailer.com does not even deserve one star in this review.
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.
Great first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
Typical Yakima cross bars. Coating is a little too easy to cut or gouge, but probably needs to be that way to get the grip it provides. Good enough solution for me, and allows me to continue to use all the attachments I've accumulated over the years that require a round bar
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!
Fit the 79 Dodge van perfectly
Yakima Crossbars were as you would expect - steel bars coated in a soft black coating (be mindful when you are utilizing these with the top mounts as the clamp will eat through the soft coating when you tighten them down). I had issues with my yakima round bar setup as the brackets and tower system were allowing water to leak in. This is in no way reflective of what youll experience but Yakima has superb support. I spoke with them twice on my issue and out of their kindness they shipped me an entire setup to replace my existing one for free.
Thank again, etrailer. You always have what I’m looking for. I already had the bars, but I needed the towers.
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.
The only reason I am not giving it an excellent rating is the considerable wind noise that occurs. While we had our luggage carrier atop our car it seemingly imperceptible, however after driving around for a week while on vacation with simply the bars breaking the wind it was quite loud. With that being said they were a breeze to install, aside from having to use allen tool tighten down the fittings. I later discovered that a wratcheting screwdriver with the correct bit size provided for much faster installation and removal. I would definitely recommend for purchase.
The roof mounts were fairly easy to install with the help of the well written installation instructions. I am looking forward to using my new Yakima roof rack for hauling my ladders or a rooftop clamshell cargo bin that I have.
These Yakima towers just work. They go on easily and stay tight. No issues whatsoever. They are a little pricey, but it's nice to have something that just works well without any drama.
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!
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.
Bought the Yakima 58" round cross bars to use on a Leer Camper shell on my 2016 F150. The bars are a perfect width for my shell and work great with my existing Control towers. Great quality as to be expected with Yakima.
Thank you for the quick shipment of my new Yakima Q tower roof rack for my 2007 F150 King Ranch. Following the simple instructions it went together easily and works and looks great. The follow up after purchase has been great from etrailer and I felt like if there had been a problem they would have been there to help me through it.
Thank you!
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 !
Yakima roof rack on a 2009 Nissan Cube. It was very easy to assemble and install. Although I haven't carried anything on it as of yet I'm pleased with the fit. It makes a little wind noise but not terrible. Can't wait to try it out with my kayak mounted on it.
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.
These bars made my car look awesome and was really easy to instal
