Question:

Hello I have a 2012 Honda Fit with a Whispbar flush crossbars. The rubber pads that attach the bars to my roof is beginning to rip. Can you point me to suitable replacement parts? I need the pads for the front bars. The part numbers are: 11-04-257 drivers front 11-04-256 passenger front I see you have a custom fit kit WB-K482. Can you confirm that this will work with Whispbar flush crossbars? Do you sell the pads separately? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

When Yakima purchased Whispbar they supported the line for a few years, but gradually gradually Yakima improved their version of the Whispbar system and slowly stopped producing Whispbar product. As a result of this, we do not have the fit kit for your 2012 Honda Fit nor do we have replacement pads. Yakima is no longer producing this rack nor are they supporting it. I do have a rack that will fit your vehicle. It will consist of the following items:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00425
BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 4, part # Y06143
Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4), part # Y07204

This rack has a weight limit of 165 lbs. I included the Yakima lock cores so you can secure the rack to the vehicle.

I have included product description links and video review links below.
