Replacement Mounting Hardware to Mount Yakima ButtonDown 6 onto Thule Square Crossbars

Question:

I am looking for a mount for my Yakima Button Down 6 ski rack to mount on my Thule bars. Do you no longer sell the mighty mount 4H?

The Yakima MightyMounts 4H are no longer available.

I contacted Yakima for a solution for you and there are two options. The Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 is one. The benefit here is that if you needed to use them with another Yakima product they're likely to work. However, the better solution to mount the Yakima ButtonDown 6 to Thule square bars is to use the Replacement Mounting Hardware for Yakima Roof Mounted Ski and Snowboard Carriers # 8830021. These are designed to fit Yakima round bars but according to Yakima, if you remove the inner plastic that would connect with the bars they will fit the Thule square bars. See the picture I attached to show you what to remove.
