Today in our 2013 Mazda 5 we are going to be testing the Yakima control tower roof rack system with the 58-inch bar, part number Y00409, Y00214, Y00233 and Y00233 again. To begin our test fit we remove the black cover over our fixed mounting points and check the threads to be sure they are clean. We'll not take one of foot packs and place it by each of the four mounting locations. We'll now grab our four bolts on these bolts we'll want 3 regular washers and one black rubber washer. The rounded part will be facing down. We'll place it down through the foot of our rack, and thread it in to our fixed mounted locations. We'll snag it down to be sure we have no movement but we won't fully tightened it yet. more
