What Parts are Needed to Install a Yakima RoundBar Crossbars for a 2018 Highlander?

Question:

Hi. Our 2008 Highlander is set up with Yakima towers and round bars that fit on the existing rails. The round bars include a canoe loader that pulls out for our double kayak. We also have a couple of Yakima single bike rails that attach to the round bars. So.....we also have a 2018 Highlander with the flush rails. Id like to end up with the same capability in terms of the pull-out canoe loader and the ability to attach the two bike rails. I see that Yakima makes towers that can accommodate their round crossbars. Are those available separately? Is that all I would need to adapt my existing round bar setup? Thanks, Parker

If you are trying to use the same round crossbars for the flush rails on your 2018 Toyota Highlander, you will need three parts:

1. SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR
2. Landing Pad 16 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00242
3. RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03536

These are all you need to adapt your existing setup on your 2008 Toyota Highlander.
