Expert Reply:
If you are having issues getting the Landing Pad 28 # Y66VR and SkyLine Towers # Y53TR to fit correctly on your 2021 Toyota Highlander then the first thing to check is that you have the pads in the correct positions. You should have them turned in such a way that the extra material is facing to the front of the Highlander for the front pads and then the back of the Highlander for the rear pads (see attached).
If you have done this correctly then try sending me some photos and I'll see if there is any advice I can give. I'm also attaching an installation video where we installed the Yakima setup on a 2021 Highlander that you can check out.
