Today on our 2015 Ford F250, we're going to be doing a test-fit of the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack System. It's going to be part numbers Y00409, Y00658, and Y00124. As you can see, we've already got our front one up in place and spaced it off the front windshield six inches. We're going to have to go through the rest of it and we'll show you how to assemble that back bar and put everything together. The nice thing about this particular rack system is all of your clips and towers and spacing and everything is the same, except for the crossbar spread and that front measurement off the windshield. Your front bar will have to be the first bar that needs to go on when you get it on the vehicle. This bar here is going to be part number Y00409 and then you're going to have your Q Towers, which are going to be your foot packs, which will be part number Y00124, and then you're going to have your fit kit for your vehicle, which is going to be Y00658, and those are going to be your Q Clips.
Let's show you how to put it all together. We're going to be using a standard tape measure, a flat head screwdriver, and then your tool that's going to be included. We already got the other side on and assembled, so we're just going to get this on the table and hopefully we've got enough room to do it here without it falling off on us. If not, we might put it on the ground. With these bars and the spacing for the vehicle, to get that fifty and a half inch distance between the tops here, so we'll just measure this out in fifty and a half and then you'll have the same bar overhang if you do an inch and a half off of each side. We'll just slide these Q Towers on like so.
You can put the foot pack together, if you want, before or you can do it after you get it on. We'll get that piece up there. The only reason we want to have it on a flat surface is that way we can get the bar square and it not be twisted once we get it up on top of the vehicle. We want it at an inch and a half. Now that we've got that inch and a half if you look on the side here, if it's loose and all undone, we'll be able to pull that back and you'll see that little Allen tool, Allen screw right inside there. We're going to tighten that down because that's going to secure the foot pack for us, the Q towers.
Now we can rest it off of there and flip it over to put the foot pack and everything together. Once you get your Q Towers you'll have your lock set. If you decide to get the lock set for it you'll actually have the whole bracket mounting. All you need to do is remove the plastic cover and put in your lock set. Then you'll have your end cap and your clip that's going hold your Q Clips in.
Let's place on the pad. Like I said, all the pads and all the clips will be the same, which is a nice feature so you don't have to look around to figure out which one goes where because some are different for vehicle contours and others. Once we get that pressed on the bottom there, that will be that nice protective rubber pad so it doesn't scratch up the paint on the vehicle. Next, you'll take your Q Clip and you'll see the little flanges here and the little slots here. This will simply slide back behind like that and it will actually poke out of each side so you know that it's in there. Next, you'll take your little lock set and if you look on this piece here, you can see how it's got an oval with a little piece that sticks out on the side. If you look at this, it's the same exact way. You'll have the oval shape with that little piece that sticks out on the side. We're just going to line those up like so, slide it through, and then we'll put the clip in, just like that. That will hold that clip in place. Once we get that done, we'll slide that end cap on and press it on firmly. Now let's get up on the vehicle, get our crossbar spread and get our bar in the right spot. This is where you'll use your tape measure and your flat head screwdriver. You'll no longer need the tool. Get these back doors open and then we'll place it up over the top. For this crossbar spread, it's going to be thirty-two inches from the center of the front bar to the center of the back bar. You want to make sure that these are undone with the lids open. Make sure that I got the other one set up the right way. Like I said, you want to make sure that you have the door open and, if you look here at the weather stripping, you'll see that that Q Clip is going to fit up nicely against it when we're done, like so. You'll see how it's molded and formed just to fit around that weather stripping. Some applications you may have something to do different or some different form here, but for this particular fit it's going to form right around it. Now that we've got the bar squared up from end to end, we need to get that center to center crossbar spread so we can get it lined up where it needs to go. If you've got two people this will go a lot easier and quicker than if you just had one person. That looks good on this side. Let me get the other side lined up and then we'll start securing it to the vehicle. Now that we're all squared up and our crossbar spread is thirty-two inches. Remember I'd said that front bar is spaced off six inches from the window to the front side of the foot pack and then thirty-two inches center to center to get that back bar spacing. Again, make sure that your doors are open. Otherwise it will be in the clamp fashion where it's going to look all funny, like so, so make sure that you've got that open so it's ready to receive that. We're just going to tighten these down evenly. You can do four or five turns or however many you decide you want to do per side, but you just want to make sure it's even and if it's not you're going to have to go back and equal them out. You just want to make sure that that stays underneath and you'll see that when I closed that other side it pulled it back so we want to make sure that's underneath there and then close this side as well. That's going to tighten it all up and secure it to the vehicle and then you can lock that lock set if you decided to have it. Now I'll make sure the doors close and we don't have any hindrance there because if you don't do it right and you just tighten down one side and you don't do it evenly, one side will be down lower and it will actually cause the door to hit. Let's close up our doors and now you'll be able to throw on your baskets, your cargo boxes, your ski and snowboard carriers, even your stand up paddle board carriers or any other items that you want to put up on top of your vehicle. Now that you've seen the Yakima Roof Rack System, part number Y00409, part number Y00658, and part number Y00124 on our 2015 Ford F250, that will complete our test-fit for today. .

These multipurpose, galvanized steel crossbars supply the backbone for your aftermarket roof rack system. Works with accessories that clamp around the bars. Pair with Yakima towers, fit kit, and RoundBar SL Adapter to create a complete roof rack.Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
Works perfectly. I am always impressed that Yakima continues to make parts for the "old roundbars" since they have since moved on to the superior JetStream bars.
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
Kimberly has shown that great customer service is not dead! etrailer and Kimberly are great to work with and have earned my business and will always be the 1st and last place I look for my rack+ needs!
As for the application, I needed more space to fit my cargo box on top of my 4Runner TRD Pro’s rack. I came up this this… Thank you!
A great company to do business with, and lots of merchandise in stock. I orderd a roof rack for my truck on Tuesday morning and it was on the porch when I returned from work on Thursday. I will deffinitely order more from etrailer.com
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
Great first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
I have been using Yakima racks for around 40 years and have never had any problems. However, I am amazed at the price increases over the years. Etrailer prices were by far lower than most. Overall, a very excellent purchase.
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
Haven’t used them yet but they should work as expected
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
So far so good. Purchased these towers to use on a 2022 GMC Canyon with HD bars that I already had, primarily to carry my canoe. Yakima's fitting instructions worked perfectly and the whole system seems really solid.
first try was missing what was needed
Etrailer helped. It was great!
E trailer has me me spoiled yet again! If only I could expect this level of service from other suppliers.
Works great to use my round bars on the Skyline towers.
Yakima Crossbars were as you would expect - steel bars coated in a soft black coating (be mindful when you are utilizing these with the top mounts as the clamp will eat through the soft coating when you tighten them down). I had issues with my yakima round bar setup as the brackets and tower system were allowing water to leak in. This is in no way reflective of what youll experience but Yakima has superb support. I spoke with them twice on my issue and out of their kindness they shipped me an entire setup to replace my existing one for free.
Product works as advertised thus far. When you buy the yakima towers, you are required to purchase these as well to fit the rounder bars (I feel sure there are other adapters for other bar shapes). These should have come with the towers in my opinion, and I resented having to shell out more $$ to purchase these "must have" adapters to mount my bars. 3 star overall rating based on function, price. Delivery and packaging was top-notch through etrailer.
I ordered a Yakima Roof Rack for my Toyota Prius from eTrailer.com. Part of the reason for purchasing from eTrailer.com was the promise that the racks were made specifically for the car and would not dent the roof.
I received the rack on July 31, and installed the racks on my Prius according to instructions included with the racks. Our tandem kayak is 65 lbs . The towers were placed on the outer most part of the roof as indicated by the instructions. Yakima saddles were attached to the crossbars to hold the kayak. Nothing was close or touching the top of the roof. We transported the kayak to a nearby lake, 6 miles, and back. The next day we removed the racks from the roof and noticed 4 dents on the top of the roof. It was obvious that transporting the kayak on the rack caused the dents.
We had to pay $100 to have the dents removed from the Prius roof.
I cannot continue to use this rack that puts dents in the car's roof. I was extremely disappointed in the racks. In reading the Toyota manual and contacting them by phone, there is no mention of using or not using roof racks.
I was shocked to learn from Rachel at eTrailer.com that your company takes absolutely no responsibility for this Yakima product they sell. The best they can do is to pass the buck and refer us to Yakima.
Very disappointed, and out a lot of money for a product that damages your car. Will not recommend or buy here again. eTrailer.com does not even deserve one star in this review.
Great service - great price
