Video Transcript for Replacement Yakima Control Tower for Factory-installed Tracks (QTY 1) Feature Review

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Yakima replacement Control Tower. This is going to replace one damaged Yakima Control Tower. And if you are looking for a replacement oftentimes it can be difficult to find just one but that's exactly what this is. It's going to replace just the one Control Tower for you so you can get up and operational again. Now this is designed for vehicles with a factory rack track.

It will mount onto your vehicle-specific Landing Pads which are sold separately. They are gonna be required for installation. This will lock into the Landing Pad for a nice custom fit. Now the lock can be switched out locked with your same key system cores. So use your core from the original tower, put it in place here so that all of your Yakima locks will be keyed alike.

As far as our dimensions go. If we measure from the top of our crossbar where it would be installed to the top of where our Landing Pad would be installed it's gonna be right about three inches. It's gonna be kind of difficult for me to line up with the ruler there, but right about three inches. The complete tower height will depend on your Landing Pad application. So make sure that you're getting the right Landing Pad for your vehicle.

And then this will replace that original and make sure that your whole system is operational again. So, that completes our look for today. Again, I Michael, with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Replace one damaged Yakima Control Tower with this tower replacement kit. Control Towers attach to vehicle-specific LandingPads (sold separately) to create a fully adjustable crossbar spread for your rack.

by:

These are older style Yakima track-mount towers for the classic Yakima round bars, not easy to find so I was glad etrailer had them. Installed perfectly same as original ones I had years ago, and accepted Ya,kima locks. I used them to make up a second set of narrower racks so I don't always have to use the wide racks on long trips if I only have one canoe or kayak.



by:

I've been using Yakima Control Tower racks for over 20 years and etrailer is one of the few places that has replacement parts stock (not even Yakima has some of these parts anymore). So I'm pleased since even though the Yakima system has been stout it's not immortal!



by:

Got this to replace a factory tower that lost the battle against a ratchet strap. Fit in with no problems and works perfectly.



by:

I've used etrailer for several items in the past, each time with prompt and excellent service. This time one of the items was defective. I called customer service and the woman helping me was helpful and capable. I had a return label in minutes and a new part on the way the same day. I don't know how to improve on that.



by:

Where this tower and an appropriate landing pad can be used, it seems to be the simplest and most secure way to attach a rack since the demise of rain gutters.



by:

Purchased four of these to replace some Qtowers. So far my only regret is I did not attach to the camper shell from the beginning. Had some slippage issues with Qclips I was using on the access cab of a ‘15 Tacoma. Disappointing experience after using Qclips on numerous vehicles over the years. Hoping these control towers stand the test of time. Purchased Landing Pads #6 for attaching to shell.



by:

Technician worked with me to identify old Yakima towers. He asked me to send photos of the old towers. From the photos he was able to identify the proper Yakima towers. The towers were quickly sent and fit perfectly on the rails. Thank you.

Fine, no problemds.



by:

Needs instructions for moving the lock to the new tower.
The item was exactly as described and what I needed, a replacement for ome that got broken, and it was a perfect fit. Once I figured out how to take the lock out of the old one and put it in the new one (thanks youtube!) it was an easy installation.
I would recommend including a simple sheet of paper on how to move the locks:
1. unlock the old control tower.
2. insert the control key (looks like an uncut blank) that came with the original rack set/equipment and with a little jiggle the lock core will pop out.
3. insert the lock core into the new tower and then remove the control key.

One year later and its still working great, cant tell which one is this replacement.



by:

Exactly what I needed. Accurate description & fast shipping.



by:

These are some fine towers. I had one issue (my own fault) where I ran my 10' long 4" diameter water storage pipe into the wall while backing up, and the towers popped out of the track... which is exactly what I would have expected as that saved the tracks from getting ripped off the top of my camper shell.
I'm glad I got these, and I will be shopping etrailer.com in the future.



by:

Excellent product. Timely delivery. Totally satisfied. Thanks for great service!



by:

I have been using Yakima products for years. Great quality. Wanted to build a specialty rack without dismantling my other racks. All my local dealers were out of stock with no idea when they would be resupplied. Etrailer. com had parts in stock and were shipped immediately. I received them in a few days and couldn't be happier with service. THANKS!



by:

The new control tower fit fine and was easy to install.Ordering was easy as well. I was frustrated however when I attempted to remove my old lock cylinder and install it in the new tower. Prior to purchasing the new tower I watched a video on the E Trailer site and the video mentioned that switching over the cylinder was an easy task. It didn't mention that one needed a special key, in addition to the actual lock key. If it had, I'd have ordered it at the time. Now I have to order the "special" key, which likely will not arrive in time for an upcoming trip.



by:

Nice to find a replacement!!!



by:

Was an exact replacement and was able to replace the damaged part with out having to buy a whole set



by:

I was able to purchase two of these towers for my Honda.
Along with the right landing pad.
Looks like everything is going to work great.
These will let me use all the Yakima stuff that I already have.



by:

These are older Yakima towers and hard to find a single one, most are sets of four. Lowest price I found, even for used towers. Fast shipping!



by:

eTrailer was able to find the discontinued parts that I needed when other stores did not. Products were of excellent quality and were shipped in a very reasonable period of time. I will definitely continue using eTrailer.



by:

Fast delivery (even with cheapest shipping option) on replacement parts for a Yakima system. Great customer service - you will speak to an actual real person! We placed another order this week.



by:

These are the only guys that had the part I needed. Control towers were discontinued a few years ago and Etrailer had the part I needed.



by:

GREAT SERVICE



by:

Worked perfectly. Kept the two locks from old racks. All worked as hoped/expected. May order two more replacements!



by:

you cant lock these without having to buy a separate lock set. Not really happy for this price



by:

Right parts delivered in a fair amount of time that foot the bill for my application



by:

Excellent service, came two days after placing the order. Service is always great and these folks know their products very well, can answer questions quickly. I have bought numerous products from them and its always at a high level. Head and shoulders above other on line companies.

  • Towers Needed To Install Yakima RoundBar Roof Rails On a 2019 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with Factory Roof R
    To mount your current Yakima RoundBar crossbars to your 2019 Toyota 4 Runner you will need the Towers # Y33TR, and Adapters # Y03536. These will contain 4 towers and 4 adapters to mount 2 crossbars.

  • What is the Difference Between Yakima HD Tracks and Regular Yakima Tracks?
    The difference between the Yakima HD Crossbars like the # Y74MR and the regular Yakima Tracks like the # Y01135 is that they are compatible with different feet and adapters. With the HD tracks, they will fit the Yakima Skyline towers, OverHaul HD system, or OutPost HD systems. In order to use these components, you need to use the Landing Pad 26 for Yakima SkyLine Towers - Qty 2 # Y75ZR or the Yakima HD Track Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD and OutPost HD Truck Racks - Qty 4 # Y75RR....

  • Recommended Roof Rack Option For A Small Cargo Trailer
    The closest option we'd have to mount on your trailer's roof would be the Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01126 which would allow you to install feet and crossbars to haul your accessories. This is the smallest track we currently have available, at 42" in length, so you'll want to verify these will fit first. If so you'll need the following rack components: Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 2 # Y00221 (x2) Replacement Yakima Control Tower for Factory-installed...

  • Camper Shell Roof Rack and Ladder Rack for a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup
    I have a solution for you, but there's unfortunately no ladder racks that are compatible with the 2002 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup with a camper shell installed. Instead, I recommend a modular system that uses the same rails to swap between the two setups. These racks don't come in a premade kit, so I've specified the quantity of each part that you'll need. For the rack on the camper shell itself, you'll want to get a Yakima Round Bar set, consisting of the following parts: 1 Track Kit,...

  • What Parts do I Need to Add a Third Yakima RoundBar to My ARE Camper Shell with Tracks?
    In addition to the x2 Yakima Control Towers # Y8890027, you also need the Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00221 in order to attach the towers to the tracks. If you need an additional crossbar to complete the setup, we unfortunately only sell the round bars in pairs of 2. Those are the Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack # Y00408 or the Round 78" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack # Y00411. If you need a great option for a roof top tent, I recommend the Yakima SkyRise...

    First of all, thanks for the picture of your cute doggy! Yes, you can use a Thule Hullavator Pro item # TH898 or Yakima ShowDown item # Y04081. I can't tell from your picture but there were versions of the A.R.E. camper shells that had tracks on them already. The factory rails were made by Yakima. For a complete roof rack system on your A.R.E. topper you will need the following parts if you have the rails: Yakima Control Towers item # Y8890027 - You will need 4 because they're sold individually Yakima...

    The Yakima Control Towers like the part # Y8890027 (QTY 1) can fit the Yakima tracks like you mentioned with the Landing Pad 1 part # Y00221. This would work to use the Yakima Round Bars like # Y00409 which is a pair of 58 inch bars.

  • Availability of Locks for Yakima Control Towers
    Yakima Control Towers, like the Replacement Control Tower for Factory-Installed Tracks # Y8890027 that you referenced, can be locked using Yakima's Same Key System (SKS) locks. These SKS lock cores are available in a number of different quantities, but in order to lock 4 Control Towers you will want 4 lock cores, # Y07204. The SKS Lock Cores # Y07204 come with 2 keys to lock and unlock the cores, as well as 1 control key that is used when installing the lock core. There is not a cap that...

  • Will Yakima Q-Towers Work with Thule Roof Tracks on Camper Shell
    It sounds like you're trying to reuse an old Yakima Q-Tower System on a camper shell with roof tracks installed. If that's the case then I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this just simply isn't possible with off the shelf parts. That said, I do have a way for you to use your old round crossbars, you'd just need the Replacement Yakima Control Tower for Factory-Installed Tracks part # Y8890027 (QTY. 4) and Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers part # Y00221 (QTY.2).

    Since you have Yakima tracks like the # Y01126 installed on your 2014 Ford F-150, a great option is the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks - 2 Heavy-Duty Crossbars - 65" # Y01-140B-NT. The Rhino-Rack HD crossbars provide you with 220 pounds of maximum weight capacity. There are no other heavy duty crossbar setups that are compatible with the Yakima tracks that have a larger weight capacity (or go over 165 pounds).

    The 63 inch Rhino Rack RTC Style Roof Rack Tracks, # RTC16, come with 8 T-bolts for each track, 16 total, and each T-bolt measures 1 inch long. Although manufacturers typically do not recommend using another company's towers on their track, I went to our warehouse and pulled a set of the RT Style Rhino Roof Tracks and the Yakima Landing Pad1, #Y00221 to perform a test fit to ensure compatibility. All parts performed just as they should so yes, the Rhino Rack RTC Style Tracks will work...

    For your 2017 Ford F-350 with the 6-3/4' bed, there are currently three different Pace Edwards UltraGroove Tonneau Covers available. There is an all metal powered version part # 311-KEFA18A44, all metal manual version part # 311-KMFA18A44, and metal/vinyl manual version part # 311-KRFA18A44. For the Yakima Round Bar system I recommend using part # Y00410 for the crossbars, part # Y8890027 (4) for the feet, and part # Y00221 (2) for the fit kit. The Yakima crossbars are cut to fit.

    You can indeed install a Yakima roof rack system on your Leer cap that features the Thule tracks.
