Question:

Will my Yakima Skyline roof rack systems with the four towers work with these Thule Tracks?

asked by: Dan H

Expert Reply:

Yes, the tracks themselves recreate the factory C-shaped rack tracks. Thule Tracks # THTP42 and Yakima Tracks # Y01126 have the same C-channel design, but differ in length and how they mount to the vehicle.

To use your SkyLine Towers # Y53TR with these tracks, you need the Yakima Landing Pad 1 # Y00221. This is the mount that fits directly into track systems and can be used with SkyLine or Control Towers.

@Reggie Thule crossbars aren't compatible with Yakima towers, but you should be able to use the Hullivator with any currently available Yakima crossbar, assuming that's what you already have.
