Adding a Roof Rack to a Camper Shell on a 2008 Nissan Frontier
Question:
Ive read the PDF instructions on-line for the installation of the Y01126 which references a Track Fit Sheet. Can I get a copy of that fit sheet, trying to understand what is provided for correct placement on a truck canopy.

There isn't a pdf of a track fit sheet but basically it wants you to select the tracks that won't be too long to fit your camper shell. It also tells you to be sure to place the tracks equal distance from the rear of the camper shell and from the sides of the camper shell so its centered.
The tracks # Y01126 come with the 42 inch tracks themselves and hardware to mount to a metal surface. For a fiberglass camper shell you would need to add cap nut hardware # Y8810155.
Then to add crossbars you will need 2 sets of Landing Pads # Y00221 (2 come in a set) Control Towers Y00214 (now discontinued), and crossbars. The crossbars you choose will depend on how far apart you space the tracks.
Yakima offers 48 inch bars, # Y00408, 58 inch bars, # Y00409, 66 inch bars # Y00410, and 78 inch bars # Y00411.
