Product works perfectly and seems like a never used open box item. That or the Yakima original packaging is very basic, because the tower can in a simple clear plastic bag (which is fine by me). Slowest shipping option was still fairly quick. Also love that they provide the current stage of packing/shipping for your order. Would recommend! Rack setup looks great



by:

These towers replaced original Yakima towers. The two issues with the old design were: 1) you could easily strip the hex head that tightens the tower to the bar, as you were too only quarter turn the head in order to drive the biting surface into the bar. 2) If you ever lost the plastic foot or either of the two side plastic pieces, you could not get replacements for them. To replace the minimum parts from a working setup, this tower is what you need. The tower should come with the jaw, bolt and nut that are the essential changes in the design that addressed the first issue of the original part.

I ended up having to order another replacement set while trying to put the second bar back on. I didn't order this from etrailer, and when one tower came without the critical jaw and nut I asked them to send these parts. They claimed these are not apart of the naked tower. I called Yakima and they confirmed that they are supposed to come with the naked tower. The clam cam and its pin bolt and cup are the parts not included with the naked tower. Yakima sent me replacement parts free of charge or shipping charge.

My bad for not going with etrailer for both orders. And great job Yakima for supporting your customers.

Product still working great



by:

Perfect - my son was carrying a double bed to college on my wife's car on the Yakama rack and the bed flew off of the car taking the rack with it. Luckily no one was hurt as the rack flew off of the car and bent one of the towers. The replacement parts from etrailer were perfect and the finding them on the website was effortless. Thank you.



by:

Purchased a used Yakima ski rack at a swap meet and found out one of the q towers was broken. I was happy when I was able to buy one single item that is exactly what I need. Arrived quickly and is a perfect match to the other three.



by:

We lost a portion of our car top bike rack. The rack is over 12 years old so it was great to be able to get the needed parts without having to buy a new one.



by:

I have an old rack and the side and bottom pieces of 1 Q Tower were lost. (the new design is much better). Anyway, as correctly advised by Zachary at etrailer.com, I was able to use my old cam et. al with this new cover. Perfect!
The "A" Pad fit right in, too.



by:

Not sure about the product, as it is a gift to my son. I can comment about the service, which was excellent!! I received a confirming email when I placed my order, with an estimated arrival date. I also received a confirming phone call, asking if I had any questions. The company rep then notified me that he had received delivery confirmation, asking if the order had arrived satisfactorily, which it had!! Everything I ordered, in working condition, in only a matter of days. Great job everyone!!



by:

It's awesome that etrailer sells single replacement parts. Other places only sell full sets.



by:

I purchased a used rack that had a broken tower, but the cam still worked. This was a good way to get the rack functional without having to buy a complete tower.



by:

Exactly what I needed at a great price and shipped/arrived on time. Will definitely come back here for all my trailer needs



by:

Q-Towers were perfect, shipping was fast, installation straightforward. I'm back on the road. Thanks!

  • Is the Yakima Replacement Q Tower, # Y8880048, The Two Sides And Base Foot
    The Yakima Replacement Q Tower, # Y8880048, is just one Q tower body which is just one piece. It does not include the Yakima Replacement Q-Cam Cover Assembly, # Y8810071, or the vehicle specific Q clips. I do have the Yakima Replacement Q Tower with Cam Cover Assembly, # Y8880047. which is the Q tower and the cam cover assembly. You will still need the Q clips for your vehicle. The Q clips are vehicle specific, so they would have to be ordered for your vehicle.

  • Availability of Replacement Base/Cover for Older Yakima Q-Tower Roof Rack
    The part you referenced, Replacement Yakima Q Tower without Cam Cover Assembly # Y8880048, is an appropriate replacement part for the current generation of the Q-Tower. It is not compatible with the older version according to my contact at Yakima. You can tell if your rack is the discontinued version by checking for this characteristic: two hash marks on the top of the cover near where the crossbar enters it. Yakima no longer has replacement parts for this older version.

    Since it looks like you have a Q-towerYakima crossbar setup you would only need the correct fit kit so that it could install on your 2008 Toyota but the clips for those towers are no longer available.
