Will the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Attach to my Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack System
Question:
Is it possible to attach the Sunseeker to my existing yakima round bars? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awnings like part # RR32132 and part # RR32133 are a bolt on design that will attach to crossbars or roof racks that have the t slots in them using the provided brackets. While it may be possible to drill holes in your bars to attach it to the round bar wont really give the brackets much support.
Instead the Yakima SlimShady Awning part # Y36VR has clamps designed specifically to fit the round bars as well as most other crossbars. In your situation I would choose this route.
I have attached videos on both of them for you to check out that will give additional information on the attachment methods.
