Yakima Landing Pad 6 Review- Video
Hello everyone, Andy here from etrailer.com.Today we are taking a look at the installation of the Yakima Landing Pad 6. Today we're installing it on a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon. This is a great option whenever it comes to mounting trays or any other type of fixed crossbar on a camper shell, or even a van like we're doing so here. .So looking at our Landing Pad 6 installed now, we have them paired with the skyline towers. If you needed to remove the lock and load tray here, or let's say we had some bars that are mounted to the top of our camper shell, or on top of our van as seen here, we can just go ahead and push down on the pressure on each side of the tower here. And that is what will allow you to move and install and re-install your tray or your bars that you have mounted on the top.So if you actually aren't using our lock and load tray and you want a cleaner, simpler look with your Landing Pad 6, there are the included covers and we can just snap that in place and it gives us a nice fit and finish.So as for the installation on this, it did seem at first it was going to be a pretty intensive task, but I found that it really overall wasn't that bad. more
