Replace your vehicle's factory crossbars with these Landing Pads that are designed to install directly to the crossbar mounting points on your side rails. The pads create mounting points for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers.The Landing Pad 15 was exactly what I needed for 2019 Subaru Outback Yakima Sky Line Towers. I am 5'3" older lady and was able to install the entire system with Jet Stream crossbars without assistance, thanks to videos. (Yakimas instructions are photo only). But I really want to commend your company on the website, shipping, video tutorials, personalized communication, and follow up. Great job etrailer!
Yes, The Yakima roof rack has been working flawlessly. I did have one issue where one of the landing pad covers flew off that I had to replace. I understand parts wear and plastic gets brittle and/or shrinks with time in the sun, but that shouldn't have happened so soon. Other than that, we bought a Thule Motion XT box to use for long travels.
The Yakima Landing Pads are an essential component of the rack system in use on my vehicle. They are paired perfectly with the rest of the system and were easily installed and removed at the end of seasonal use-- though they could easily remain a permanent installation. The items are excellently constructed and have weathered their heavy use with no evidence of wear.
The rack system is nice, however, there are four plastic covers when the racks are not in use and one of them (front driver's side) will just not stay in place. Unfortunately, that means that the rain and weather will probably damage the uncovered parts.
Appreciate that this company had a # 15 Yakima landing pad set available for a very reasonable price. Order came through quickly and I'm back in business with a 2018 Subaru Outback using my older Yakima "towers" , bars and kayak saddles.
Thanks guys!
These installed easily and look nice. I didn't get the feeling that the mounting was quite rock-solid, although in fairness there's only so much that can be done given that they're at the mercy of the built-in Subaru mount points.
With that said, I've carried things like plywood multiple times without incident (where the concern is the sheet acting like a sail and lifting up rather than pushing down), so they've done their job so far.
Great product. Good price. Delivered in timely manner.
The landing pad for the 2024 RAV4 has only one screw to hold it in place. Do not over-tighten that screw, that will result in the width of the connection holes on the pad bowing and moving closer together, then the sky tower attachment will not fit into the mounting location. The Yakama installation instructions did not directly address this potential.
The landing pad for a 2004 Honda CR-V used two screws for each pad, and the issue did not occur.
Great quality! They come with two different style bases. One flat, and one that is stepped to account for the raised area near the gutter trim. Good variety of screws to meet your application. My 2015 Mazda 3 (with fixed points) needed the medium length screws. Seems very solid!
I left the plastic gutter moldings on and just drilled holes for the screws to go through.
Landing Pad 23 fits my RAV4 Prime perfectly. No issues in the install other than the torque might be more than needed as it deforms the cars roof rail and the fitting (pad) deforms so that the male mount on the racks won't fit. I had to open them up by loosening the bolt to the point it would fit. All good!
Everything came in a timely manner and ready to install. Looks great, solid rack.
This fits a 2020 Rav4 perfectly. This will prolong all my yakima rack accessories that I have.
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
Very happy with our purchase. I love how easily you can remove the entire rack easily. Too bad the locking mechanism comes separately but we are still happy with what we received.
Yakima Landing Pad 22 is the only product I could find that is suitable for my Mercedes E450 Coupe. The car's panoramic glass extends close to where the fixed mounting points are, but Yakima has accounted for that by designing the LP 22 so that the small part that sits on the glass is not transferring the load. Also, the LP22 accommodates the flip-open doors for the four fixed mounting points on the Mercedes. Yakima instruction manual and etrailer.com videos are highly useful.
Only complaint is with the LP 22 Covers, which are supplied for when the roof rack (Towers and Crossbars) are removed. These covers are not usable - they do not snap into place and appear as if they were designed for a different landing pad. This is not a deal breaker for me because I remove the LP 22s whenever I remove the roof rack, but it will likely be a concern for others.
The materials are high quality and finished well. Tightening the bolts causes the receivers to bow inward and made it very difficult to install the Skyline tower base.
Used these on my 2011 BMW 335. It took a little while to get the threads to catch on the roof attachment the first time I installed them. Otherwise they do what they are supposed to do and don't scratch the roof.
I didn’t buy a fuel-efficient vehicle with a sunroof so that I could drive around with a roof rack! This rack system goes on and off so quickly and easily, saving me fuel economy and freeing up my sunroof. It’s been a year and it’s been great.
Parts arrived quickly. Installation was a breeze. Everything needed for a quick and professional installation was included in the shipment.
Top of the line!!
