Yakima Landing Pad 22 Torque Settings
Question:
I have a 2019 subaru forester with fixed points. How much do the yakima landing pads need to be tightened? The manual says 1.5 nm but having done that if I push backwards or forwards on the bars the feet move with relatively little effort. Should I tighten until this no longer happens? Or is this acceptable?

Expert Reply:
The instructions for the Landing Pad 22 # Y00248 specifically state not to overtighten so you don't damage your 2019 Subaru Forester so I definitely don't recommend just going to town on it.
What I would do is make sure you have that washer in the correct orientation (concave side up) and that you've wiggled the Landing Pad 22 around a little when initially tightening it to get it snug. Once that is done then go ahead and torque it to 1.5 Nm per the instructions.
Let me know if you're still having issues after all of this.
