- Q: What is a "base roof rack system," and why do I need one?
A: A base roof rack system is the foundation for carrying gear on your vehicle's roof. It typically consists of towers (or feet), crossbars, and fit kits (or clips) that are specifically designed to attach securely to your vehicle's roof type. You need a base rack system before you can mount accessories like bike racks, kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or ski racks. It's the essential first step for expanding your vehicle's cargo capacity. - Q: How do I determine which Yakima base rack system fits my vehicle? A: The easiest way is to use Rack Attack's "Select Your Vehicle" tool (or a similarly named fit guide) on our website. Enter your vehicle's year, make, and model. The site will then show you the Yakima base rack components (towers, crossbars, and fit kits) that are confirmed to be compatible with your specific vehicle. Be prepared to specify whether your roof is "naked" (no existing rails), has flush-mounted side rails, raised side rails, or factory-installed crossbars.
- Q: What are the different types of Yakima crossbars, and which one should I choose?
A: Yakima offers several crossbar styles, including:- RoundBars: A classic, strong, and versatile option.
- CoreBar: Steel crossbars with a vinyl coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
- JetStream: Aerodynamic aluminum bars designed to reduce wind noise and drag.
- HD Bar: Heavy-duty, ideal for roof top tents and trade use. The best choice depends on your needs and budget. Aerodynamic bars (like JetStream) are generally quieter and more fuel-efficient, while RoundBars and HD Bars offer increased strength and durability.
- Q: Can I install a Yakima base roof rack system myself, or do I need professional installation?
A: While many Yakima base rack systems are designed for relatively straightforward installation with clear instructions, Rack Attack does offer professional installation services at many of our retail locations. If you are uncomfortable working on your vehicle or want the peace of mind of expert installation, we recommend using our professional services. Proper installation is essential for safety and to ensure the rack performs correctly. Check to see if there is a store near you offering install.
