by:

Love that it mounts to my roof crossbars and it is out of the way so I can use my crossbars for other gear. Love the size but a little difficult for me to set up; take down is easier by myself. Will need leg tie-downs or weights. As an older female, it is pretty heavy to lift above my head and mount on the crossbars myself but it can be done. Took it on my almost 4,000 mile trip this summer, didn’t end up using it but was glad to have it just in case. It is nice to use in conjunction with my camping trailer awning, too. Great product for the price.



by:

Installation was quick and easy.



by:

I’m a Yakima user for many years, this seems to be on par with everything else they make. Which is top notch. It was easy to install and easy to use. Might need two sets of hands on a windy day. But so far I love it.



by:

Easy set up



by:

I put it on a New Camp teardrop trailer with a Yakima roof rack. Fits perfectly!



by:

Bought for my 2021 nucamp tag and love it. Quick and easy setup and provides an awesome place to just sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors. Easy installation and quality build. This is for sure a great product.



by:

Excellent service, my awning is working well and has held up well. I have used retailer several times and spoken to their customer service and they helped me save money.



by:

Fast service and product arrived within a couple days of ordering.



by:

Got my order 2 days early!! Packaged well and had it installed in about 20 min. Works great!!



by:

Short and sweet. Awesome!



by:

I sent this item back to you because when it arrived it was partially out of the box and it was apparent it had been someone else's return as it was just shoved back into the box with no care. When I sent it back to you I advised to cancel the order, and that I would source one from a different vendor. The next day you advised a new one had been reshipped requiring me to make several phone calls back to you to cancel this order before it was delivered to me. Fortunately, you were able to intercept the order while it was still close to your home city. I was not pleased with this transaction and felt that in your desire to get things shipped out, you cut corners on the quality of packaging and due care to send out the item in a new and undamaged condition. I also feel your customer service is lacking in that you do not listen to the customer. This was evidenced by having to talk with several individuals to repeat the same message several times for the return, and to get the new unsolicited order cancelled.



by:

It appears to be well made. I ADJUSTED the installaton three time.



by:

Quick shipping. Tracking information is at another level!!! Good pricing and tech support. I don't do reviews. This one is justified. Will be a repeat customer. 5 freaking stars.



by:

The rubber gasket to hold the poles is not adequate.

by:

I love it!

Very well constructed.

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Car Awning

  • Are Sidewalls Available for the Yakima SlimShady Awning
    I do have a solution for you but unfortunately the Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR does not have any side panels that you can add. We do have the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32132 though which is a little bit larger and is comparable to the SlimShady. Rhino-Rack offers the side panel # RR32112 which you can add one to either side and the front panel # RR32111. You can use these to extend the footprint of the awning or as a windbreaker/privacy section. I have attached a review video...

  • Recommended Car Awning To Use With Malone AirFlow2 Aero Crossbars MPG216
    Luckily, the Malone AirFlow2 Aero Crossbars 58" Long # MPG216 on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek have industry standard T-slot channels on top which will allow fitment of many awning kits. For Rhino-Rack awnings you could look into the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning 49 Sq Ft # RR32132, Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning 55 Sq Ft # RR32133, or Rhino-Rack Dome 1300 Awning 64 Sq Ft # RR32125. You could also look into the Yakima SlimShady Awning which comes in various sizes: 30 Sq Ft # Y56VR, 42 Sq Ft #...

  • Can Yakima Slim Shady Roll-Out Awning Y07409 Install on Yakima Roof Rack on Tear Camper
    Yes, you can mount the Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # Y36VR to the Yakima crossbars that are mounted to the top of your teardrop camper as long as those crossbars are spaced apart at least 24-inches on a flat surface. This particular bar spread is required for stability but the SlimShady installs on just about any size and shape of crossbar, including Yakima round bars like # Y8810025, Thule square bars like # TH712400 and even the wider elliptical/aero-style bars like the Thule AeroBade...

  • Adapter to Mount Awning on Thule Crossbars on 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness
    There are a few different possibilities depending on what crossbars you have and what specific awning you would like to mount. If I had to guess you probably have Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 on your Outback Wilderness. If you wanted to use the RhinoRack Batwing Awning # RR33100 or # RR33200 no additional parts would be necessary. If you want a simple awning from Rhino-Rack like the Sunseeker # RR32133 or # RR32132 then you would need mounting brackets. Both the angled up #...

  • Recommended Car Awning For A 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
    The car awnings that we currently carry require crossbars in order to mount so you would first need a roof rack. If you don't have one then I recommend the following components: Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 55" Long # Y01156 TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541 From there you could use a straight awning like the Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR you were looking at or go with a larger wraparound awning like the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning...

  • How To Install Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima SlimShady Awning
    In regards to the Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning part # 8880737, the handle on the side of the unit is used to tighten the c-shaped clamps around the crossbar. The rubber inserts inside the c-shaped clamps are then used to prevent the crossbar from moving around. In regards to how it attachs to the awning you will need the Replacement Mounting Bracket for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning part # 8880736. I have attached a few photos that will hopefully clarify...

  • Can I Mount an Awning on the Yakima Overhaul HD System Directly to the Crossbar
    Yes. You can mount an awning on Yakima Overhaul HD systems like the # Y01151-5855. If you wanted to use the Yakima Slim Shady Awning # Y36VR, that awning will mount using the included clamps to the HD bars on the Overhaul system. If you're wanting to use a Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning # RR33100 you will need to use the T-slot channels on the HD bars to mount the awning on your Overhaul HD system. You will not need a cargo carrier or platform rack to mount either of these systems.

  • Roof Rack Awning that Can Attach to Yakima Round Bars

  • Can The Yakima SlimShady Be Mounted On The Rear Of A Vehicle For Tailgating
    The Yakima Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR is not able to be mounted in the way you intend. The Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # 8880737 is not able to rotated 90 degrees. This shade is designed to be mounted and operated perpendicular to your vehicle.

  • Vehicle Awning That Mounts to Yakima Crossbars Without Top Channel
    The Batwing Awning for # RR33100 or # RR33200 will not mount to Yakima crossbars unless they have a top channel. Instead, you need the Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # Y36VR, which will clamp to aero crossbars so long as the crossbar spread is a minimum of 24".

  • Roof Awning Recommendation for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek with an OEM Roof Rack
    The Rhino-Rack Dome Awning # RR32125 will fit the OEM crossbars on your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek if it has T-Slots on the top. From what I'm seeing about the part E361SFL400 you have on your Crosstrek it doesn't have those T-Slots so we need to find you an alternative awning, and for that I recommend the Yakima SlimShady which I recommend in the following sizes: 6-1/2' x 6-1/2' - # Y36VR 8' x 8' - # Y96VR These are more of a standard flat awning but they use clamps to connect to the roof...

  • Parts Needed To Replace Clamps On Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning
    The Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR fits the round bars of your Yakima rack with it's included clamps. If you no longer have the clamps that came with the awning then you can replace the two clamps with Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # 8880737 and replacement Mounting Bracket for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # 8880736. You would also want to add the SKS lock cores # Y07202 to the new clamps if you do not already have locks. If you do have locks from...

  • Do I Need a Cargo Basket to Mount the Yakima SlimShady on a Runaway Navigator Camper?
    I have good news for you. The Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR is designed to mount to roof rack crossbars, so which cargo basket you use won't really have any effect on your ability to mount the SlimShady-it depends on your crossbars. This awning can be used on round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars so long as your crossbars are at least 24" apart. If you're looking to add a cargo basket to help carry some of your gear, the RhinoRack XTray Pro Cargo Basket # RRRMCB03...

  • Will Rhino Rack Dome 1300 Awning Fit Yakima Roof Rack
    If the Yakima roof rack you have installed on your tear trailer has channels on top of the bars yes, the Rhino Rack Dome 1300 Awning # RR32125 would fit and work well. Or we also have the Yakima SlimShady Awning part # Y36VR which does fit your all styles of the Yakima crossbars.

  • Thule 10 awning for 2020 Subaru outback onyx XT
    Unfortunately there are not any aftermarket roof racks that fit the 2020 Subaru Onyx XT due to the roof rack system that is already installed from the factory. The Thule HideAway Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Waterproof - 80 sq ft # TH490010 cannot attach to the factory roof rack on your vehicle. For an awning that will attach to your Subaru Outback's factory roof rack you can go with the Yakima SlimShady Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Clamp On - 42 Sq Ft # Y36VR or the larger Yakima SlimShady...

  • How To Mount the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning On a Roof with Cargo Basket
    The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning part # RR32133 can be attached one of two ways. The first way would be to attach inside the channels on a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack. The second way would be to attach inside the channels on a set of crossbars with top channels. If you have flush crossbars with top channels, then you could use part # RR32123 or part # RR32127 but those are your only options. The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning will not mount direct to a cargo basket but so long as your...

  • Awning Recommendation for a Yakima Core Bar Roof Rack on a Truck Bed Camper Shell
    There isn't a mount kit or way to attach the Sunseeker II awning RR32105 to Yakima Core Bars. The telescoping poles have a max height of 77 inches. Since the Sunseeker can't be installed I recommend the Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # Y36VR which will fit the core bars. The maximum height of the support poles for this awning is 84 inches.

  • How Does the Yakima Slim Shady Bracket 8880737 Measure?
    I spoke to Yakima and the Replacement Clamp Assembly # 8880737 will measure 1-3/4" tall. 5-1/4" long, and 2-1/8" wide, This is designed as a direct replacement for the Yakima SlimShady roll-out awning # Y36VR and be keyed alike to the core you may already have. As an example, if you have the A137 core number, you can use the Replacement SKS Lock Core for Yakima Racks and Carriers - A137 # Y8771-A137, but you will also need the Replacement Control Key for Yakima Same Key System # Y8007835...

  • Can The Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning Be Mounted To Elliptical Crossbars On A 1997 Toyota 4Runner?
    If your elliptical cross bars on your 1997 Toyota 4Runner has t-slot channels, then yes the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning # RR32132 will work just fine. If your cross bars do not have t-slot channels, you might consider the Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR instead. This will mount without any adapters to most round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.

  • Do I Need Wider Crossbars for Accessories and a Roof Top Tent on a Yakima Ladder Rack?
    I highly recommend using the 68" crossbar version of the Yakima Overhaul Ladder rack item # Y01151-58 with a iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini Roof Top Tent. The dimensions of that tent are 55.1 x 57.5 x 13.0" which will not give you enough room on either side for the 10 Gallon Yakima RoadShower item # Y29VR. We also have 7 Gallon item # Y89VR and a 4 Gallon item # Y79VR option. I recommend using the FlexHead Shower Head item # Y04104 so you don't have to shower with a garden hose attachment....

  • What is the Minimum and Maximum Pole Height of the Yakima SlimShady Awning
    The poles of the Yakima SlimShady # Y36VR range from 4 to 7 feet. Yes, the legs can be set at any height within that range. This will accommodate vehicles that are taller or shorter or give you the option to slant the SlimShady to block the sun.

  • Can You Fit More Than Just a Cargo Basket On a 2015 Subaru Outback With Factory Crossbars
    In order to fit multiple items on the roof of a 2015 Subaru Outback such as the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket part # Y07138 and Yakima SlimShady Awning part # Y36VR, you will need to replace the factory crossbars with a longer aftermarket set. I recommend the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails part # C18118 which is easy to install and super cost effective.
