Today on our 2016 Acura MDX, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Yakima roof rack system. It's going to be part number Y00409, Y00124, and finally part number Y00731. As you can see, we've already got the first one up on the vehicle. That's going to be spaced off that front windshield 6" with an inside measurement from each Q Tower of 48". We'll explain how the second one goes together and the final measurements you need to make. The bar here is going to be your part number Y00409. You're going to have your Q Towers, which are going to be part number Y00124; and then finally, your fit kit for the vehicle specific, which is going to be part number Y00731. As you can see, we've already got one side on.
We'll show you how to put this side on over here. First thing you're going to want to do is get it set up on a flat surface. That way when you set your other Q Tower on, it will sit flat. That way when you get it up on the vehicle, you don't have one side looking like this. Go ahead and slide that Q Tower over the end just like so.
Then this inside measurement on the back bar needs to be 47-1/4". We'll get the even amount of space. We'll take our roll tape and just roll it out to 47-1/4". It looks like it's going to be right about there. Our bar overhang ...
Get a level here; 47-1/4". Then we will take our Allen tool, making sure this is out so that sits flat on the ground, space out the back part here, and you'll see that there's going to be a screw in here on the inside when you pull this cover back. We're just going to tighten that down. That will secure this Q Tower in place. Now we'll just make sure that our measurements stay the same and that there was no deviation. Looks like we had a little bit here, so let me adjust this one.
That way we can have that right measurement on the inside with the equal amount of bar overhang. We'll just loosen this side up and just slide it back just a little bit, tighten it back down, and we'll check this side. This takes just a second do. You want to make sure you get it right the first time. That way when you get it up on the vehicle, you don't have any further troubles. We'll check it all up here real quick: 47-1/4" as you can see there and 3-1/8" overhang on each side. Place our covers on the ends. Those pieces are secured now, the Q Towers are. Now we're going to place on the Q Clips. This is going to be your fit kit here. You're taking and place your . We'll rotate it around here so you can see the bottom. You can see how that's shaped and how this is shaped, those little squares will fit down in there. We'll just press this into place. This will be that protective rubber barrier between your paint and the top of your vehicle and your roof rack system. Once you have that on, we'll then take our clip . This is going to go underneath the door frame on the inside like you see up there. First you'll need to remove the safety clip and then the lock set. This lock set, it will come with the plastic inserts, but you can also get the metal inserts as well. You slide that down in just like so to where the sides of this will stick through the slots on either side and the holes will line up on the front. Place your lock set back in just like so. Then place the clip back over the top. That will secure that clip in place. From there, we'll take our regular standard screwdriver and open up the back doors. That way we can prep it for putting our rack up on top. All right, now we will place it over the top making sure that our feet sit down nicely. You can see will need to loosen that up just a little bit. We'll take our flat-head screwdriver or standard screwdriver and loosen that screw on the top until that plate drops right underneath. Then we'll move over to the other side and check it. Just like so. All right, you can see that this side was sitting down further, so we can tighten up this side and bring that screw back up in just like so, working back and forth until we get it right where it needs to be. You want to make sure that this is as even as possible. Now the next measurement we're going to get is going to be our crossbar spread. That's going to be 32" from center-to-center of your crossbars. That way we can ensure we get it in the right location. You can see we're pretty close there. We're about 3/4" off. We'll just bring this back one forward a little bit until it meets up 32" in the center. I'll just check the other side and get it equal. If it helps, you can use a normal tape measure as well. All right, once we have them even, we'll then close down the side just like so. You'll see a slight bow in the bar. That will ensure that you have it tight and secure. Now that you've seen the Yakima roof rack system for the 2016 Acura MDX, part number Y00409, Y00124, and part number Y00731, that will complete our test fit for today. .

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.
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
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
Really Easy to Install! Solid and Strong amount to 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.
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
An Excellent Roof Rack!
first try was missing what was needed
Etrailer helped. It was great!
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
Great product. Great service.
Worked great
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.
Great service - great price
Great service - great price
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.
Typical Yakima cross bars. Coating is a little too easy to cut or gouge, but probably needs to be that way to get the grip it provides. Good enough solution for me, and allows me to continue to use all the attachments I've accumulated over the years that require a round bar
The Yakima roof rack system is an Outstanding product. I purchased the product to replace the OEM roof rack because it was too flimsy to carry the tandem bike mount and my bike. The Yakima roof rack is solid and provides me the peace of mind while hauling my bike on the roof of my car. etrailer provided the product for the best price as always.
Ordered new towers and clips so as to use my old-school round bars (I bought these at least 18 years ago, maybe even earlier) and bike and canoe accessories on a new vehicle (naked roof 2018 CR-V). Installation was tedious, as usual, but not difficult and the written instructions were straightforward. Youtube helpful too but not necessary. Have hauled bikes and the canoe in high wind on the interstate (no more than 65 mph though) on the CR-V and so far so good. Have had excellent results with Yakima racks on 3 vehicles now (2 sedans and now the CR-V) over last 28 yrs. This is my first purchase through etrailer. Very pleased. Good price, excellent service online and via phone, rapid delivery. Highly recommend.
