Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack Installation - 2010 Nissan Altima- Video
Today on our 2010 Nissan Altima, we'll be test fitting the Yakima round bar roof rack system, with a length of 48 inches, part number Y00408, the Q-35 Q clips for Yakima Q towers, part number Y00635, and the Yakima Q tower feet for a naked roof, part number Y00124. To begin out test fit, we'll place the front cross bar, already assembled, onto our Altima. The instructions tell us to measure 10 inches from the top edge of the glass to the closest part of the Q tower, to ensure a good fit. By measuring this on both sides of our Altima, our Yakima roof rack will be evenly aligned. Once everything is situated correctly, we'll tighten the thumb screws inside our Q towers, alternating on each side to keep an even fit. When the Q towers are tightened, we can close the cap. Now we'll open our rear doors, and place the back half of the rack onto our Altima. We'll need to measure again from the center of each cross bar, to get the correct placement of our second bar. The cross bar spread should be 32 inches, and as before, we'll measure this on both sides of our Altima. more
