Expert Reply:

To use the Side Loader Mounting Brackets for Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers, part # Y08002, you have to have the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101 as these were designed specifically for these mounting brackets and the Thule feet are designed to work with Thule fit kits.

Once you have the brackets and Raingutter Towers in place you can then use the appropriate sized Yakima round bar like the 48" long Round Crossbars # Y00408.

Yakima makes artificial rain gutters for use with the 1A towers #Y00101 with the part #Y08002 which would be what you'd want to use. The Rhino Rack gutters might work but they've never been tested so it's hard to say. The…
