How To Use the Yakima Big PowderHound on Factory Crossbars
Question:
Hey guys- Im looking for an alternative to Yakima Universal mightymount, but cant find the dimensions of all the different models out there. Im looking for a mightymount to attach my Big Powderhounds to a stock 09 BMW crossbar. The bars are oval, measuring 2 5/16 inches just a little over 2 1/4 wide by 1 1/2 inches top to bottom. Need to be vertical mount. They are a little fatter than a lot of the blade styles out there. Hopefully you can find something that will work. Thanks in advance!

Expert Reply:
In order to mount the Yakima Big PowderHound on factory crossbars you will need to use the Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories part # Y03590 which will accommodate factory crossbars up to 4" wide or 1-1/2" tall. Therefore, the factory crossbars on a BMW which measure 2-1/4" wide x 1-1/2" tall will not be an issue.
