Custom-fit Landing Pads allow you to attach SkyLine and Control Towers to vehicles with factory track racks. Landing Pads mount to existing tracks and combine with SkyLine and Control Towers to create a base for an aftermarket roof-rack system.I have used Yakima products for decades. This was a slightly different application for me however with the existing roof mounts on the Honda Element. The landing pads work well, but I just don't trust the 2 small bolts and the plastic to metal butted connection. I would feel better at 70mph with a more 'fitted' attachment. The finished mount feels good. Time will tell. Otherwise an easy installation and a very good looking one. I like the quick detach towers. The full rack on an Element is noisy, nice not to have to hear it without a boat on.
Etrailer was a very easy to work with and I will use the company again.
installed on Honda Element, perfect fit. Yack Racks Rock.
Yakima roof rack was very easy to install and looks great too!
Fast delivery. The kit was complete with all the parts I needed.
Product is great, but etrailer.com is excellent! Great service; fast shipping; top notch communication. Very pleased.
Very easy install looks great. Took about thirty minutes to install!
Great service, they kept me up to date with the shipping. Would highly recommend and would use again!
Excellent Product. Easy to install!
The fit is perfect!
Great quality! They come with two different style bases. One flat, and one that is stepped to account for the raised area near the gutter trim. Good variety of screws to meet your application. My 2015 Mazda 3 (with fixed points) needed the medium length screws. Seems very solid!
I left the plastic gutter moldings on and just drilled holes for the screws to go through.
Landing Pad 23 fits my RAV4 Prime perfectly. No issues in the install other than the torque might be more than needed as it deforms the cars roof rail and the fitting (pad) deforms so that the male mount on the racks won't fit. I had to open them up by loosening the bolt to the point it would fit. All good!
This fits a 2020 Rav4 perfectly. This will prolong all my yakima rack accessories that I have.
Everything came in a timely manner and ready to install. Looks great, solid rack.
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
The landing pad for the 2024 RAV4 has only one screw to hold it in place. Do not over-tighten that screw, that will result in the width of the connection holes on the pad bowing and moving closer together, then the sky tower attachment will not fit into the mounting location. The Yakama installation instructions did not directly address this potential.
The landing pad for a 2004 Honda CR-V used two screws for each pad, and the issue did not occur.
Very happy with our purchase. I love how easily you can remove the entire rack easily. Too bad the locking mechanism comes separately but we are still happy with what we received.
The materials are high quality and finished well. Tightening the bolts causes the receivers to bow inward and made it very difficult to install the Skyline tower base.
Used these on my 2011 BMW 335. It took a little while to get the threads to catch on the roof attachment the first time I installed them. Otherwise they do what they are supposed to do and don't scratch the roof.
Great service. Thanks!
Yakima Landing Pad 22 is the only product I could find that is suitable for my Mercedes E450 Coupe. The car's panoramic glass extends close to where the fixed mounting points are, but Yakima has accounted for that by designing the LP 22 so that the small part that sits on the glass is not transferring the load. Also, the LP22 accommodates the flip-open doors for the four fixed mounting points on the Mercedes. Yakima instruction manual and etrailer.com videos are highly useful.
Only complaint is with the LP 22 Covers, which are supplied for when the roof rack (Towers and Crossbars) are removed. These covers are not usable - they do not snap into place and appear as if they were designed for a different landing pad. This is not a deal breaker for me because I remove the LP 22s whenever I remove the roof rack, but it will likely be a concern for others.
Top of the line!!
Everything worked out great, free shipping only took three days as well.
Rack landing pads for my car model were back ordered and unavailable from [online vendor] and direct from Yakima itself. etrailer had them in stock and shipped them to me on time. nuff said!
