Yakima Track Install

I have Yakima Tracks on my Vehicle which allow me to mount roof rack stuff. I am going to throw a few pics up to show everyone how it works.



Looking from the top:



Closeup of the mounting.


I'll put more pics up as I take them. I'll see if I can find the instructions to post too

More info:

I bought the shortest Rails, because I did not want to drill near the sunroof components.

I think the middle size rails will fit, but I erred on the side of Caution.

I currently have a snowbaord holder, 1 bike tray, and a Yakima Basketcase.

I picked up the basket case at a junkyard for $20, but the plastic coating is chipping off. Stay tuned for the sanding and painting.


FE(everybodys)I- I run the 48" crossbars.

yeah... im trying to pick up a set of these off ebay. They are way too expensive through the bike shop/REI.
How was drilling through your roof? Nerve-racking?

Yeah, the first hole was a little scary, but the tracks make a great template.

I also gooped some silicone in the holes when I installed the fastners.

I did these a year or so ago on my first gen since there isnt really any other option except gutter mounts with I do not care for. Ive been very happy I really didnt think they were to expensive for the problem they solved and the options the afford. I always want to do things the right way instead of half assing something to save a buck.
