How to Get Yakima JayLow and SweetRoll Carriers to Fit Square Crossbars  

Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 02/13/2025

Question:

I have a Malone 2 kayak trailer. The two cross bars that are 1 and 1/8 inch square 28.6 mm. Id like to use my Yakima JayLow and sweetroll on these bars. Do you have devices that might provide when attached to the bars that will allow the oval Yakima jaws to grab sufficiently?

Hey Ronald, thanks for reaching out!

If you remove the round bar adapters from the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 and SweetRoll # Y04074 then they should be able to fit your 1-1/8" square Malon crossbars. Have you tried it yet?

Hey Ronald, did removing the round bar adapters let the JayLow and SweetRoll fit your Malone crossbars securely? Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up the same trailer and racks.
