Question:

Can this track be bent during install to conform to the shape of my tear camper roof? I’ve got a Little Guy Silver Shadow. Little Guy used to offer the Yakima track option so it appears the answer is yes but it’s possible they were pre-bending it before install.

I reached out to Yakima in regards to bending the Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01126 and they told me that yes it is okay to bend the tracks during the installation.

For the rest of the installation you can use a quantity of two of the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221, along with four of the Yakima Control Tower # Y8890027 and round bars like the 58 inch # Y00409, 66 inch # Y00410, or 78 inch # Y00411, depending on the size of your camper's roof.
