Today on our 2015 Subaru Forester, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Yakuma RailGrab Roof Rack System. We've got the 48-inch round bars that we're using; part number on that is Y00408. We've got the Yakuma RailGrab Foot Pack System; part number on that: Y00138. As you can see, we've already got the front bar installed on the Forester. We're going to go over with you how to install the rear bar. Now, installing the foot pack is very simple. It's just going to be a matter of sliding the large hoop around the large round opening here right down on our bar.
With that done, we'll take the black cap, press it right on the end there. That's going to help to hold our foot packs on. We can now place our foot pack up here onto the side rails on the Forester. We'll find a fixed point to use for mounting. The fixed point's important.
This is going to help us to ensure that our feet are in line with each other, and that our bars are running parallel. We've already used a fixed point here on the front, so that we know we have our foot packs in the proper position. Now that I've got that one where I wanted, I'm going to come over here to the driver's side and just do that same thing. I'll have to loosen this one up a little bit. .. It doesn't want to go around the bar just yet, so there's an Allen bolt in there that's loosened up.
There we go. All right, we found our fixed point on each side. We're not going to take a quick look, just to be sure we have our bar centered on the vehicle. I guess this isn't an integral step into making it structurally sound or anything, but it certainly looks better if it's equal on both sides. Now, we're going to be able to open the end cap. We've got a silver set screw here.
The silver set screw's going to hold our bar in position by driving a wedge up into it. Once we have that tight enough, that bar's not going to slip around on us. Now we can tighten up the black Allen bolt located in here as well. Tightening this up draws the rear portion of our clamp in. It's going to get a good solid grip onto our side rail there. . You see Nice and secure on this side. We'll just close our cover. Typically, you'll just have a little black cap over here. Those can be easily removed as we've done here to show you. You've got a tumbler opening in there, so you can put the Yakuma Single Key System 1 in each of the 4 foot packs all the way around and secure the bars to your side rails. The part number on that is Y07204. That is going to be for the 4 pack. They'll give you all that you need to get the bars secured to your vehicle. Now, I'm over here on the passenger side. Again, I'm using that same fixed point that we had. Vice versa to that anyway. I'm on the driver's side now. I've used the same fixed point that I've used on my passenger side, tighten down my set screw and just going through that same process to be sure that we have everything in line. It's a really easy quick system to use, the rail grabs are one of the easier out there. It's really that quick; have our roof rack installed on our vehicle and we're ready to hit the road. Now that we've taken a good look at the Yakuma RailGrab Roof Rack System, using part numbers Y00408 and Y00138 on our 2015 Subaru Forester, that will complete today's test fit. .

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!
Everything from etrailer is timely and of good quality! The Yakima crossbars are no exception - they are indestructible.
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.
I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze. For the money I wish they came with the core locks.
Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.
These crossbars were easy to install and adjust. Be sure to get all the pieces you need. There is no mention of the Landing Pads necessary to use these.
I've attachec a few pictures of the Yakima rack on my Audi Q7. It took a few attempts to find the right combination of attachments, but in the end, the pin attachments work best with the access points on the factory flush-mount rails. Great product!!!!!
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
roof racks showed up in great condition, and showed up as one package.... I should have ordered the J racks from here but I found them cheaper locally so Thule J racks compliment the whole setup and i am just about ready to hit the water :)
The installation of this rack system went very well, all of the instructions were easy to read and use. I have attached some pictures of our installation. The vehicle is a 1994 Honda Accord EX four door sedan
Roof Rack 2008 Saturn Astra The roof rack arrived one day early...The packaging was excellent and the quality of the product more than met my expectations. The instructions made the insulation very easy. It took less than 45 minutes to install the unit complete.
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.
At first, a little tricky to install, as the kit comes with hardware for a variety of applications (different length/size bolts, etc). But after a quick look at the directions and identifying which bolt to use for my car, install was a breeze. I love this Yakima setup because I can remove the bars/towers and leave the landing pads with a cap. Makes it great for taking the canoe out on weekend trips, but not taking the fuel-economy hit during the weekday commute to work.
Great products though, again, written instructions would have been nice.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
Parts arrived as advertised for the model
Car so happy to find the right fit
But super pricy for some plastic.
You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks
Everything arrived as promised and earlier than expected just installed. Looks like it will do everything I need it to which is haul around paddleboards. So far so good!
We got a Yakima Roof Rack system with locks and fairing for a "lime squeeze metallic" (Green...) 2011 Ford Fiesta 5dr Hatchback. Received the package yesterday and set it up within about an hour.
Great product and very easy to install! I called in to put my order in due to not trusting myself in getting one that fits my car. Jessica W. Was beyond professional and helpful in the process. She went also well above her position and tracked my order and sent additional information. Couldn’t be happier with the product and customer service!
Have been rocking my Yakima rack from etrailer.com for a year now. I am using rack in conjunction with a Tepui tent. Once I added the air deflector, I would say it's the perfect setup. The Yakima gives more clearance over the factory rack, so I was able to get my hands under it to secure the tent hardware. If you're thinking of upgrading your factory rack, I would not hesitate to use etrailer.com
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.
