Parts Needed to Adapt Yakima Roof Rack for a Ford Taurus X to a 2012 Ford Flex
Question:
I currently own a Yakima Roof Cargo Carrier and Yakima Cross Bars previously used on a Ford Taurus X. Now I own a 2012 Ford Flex. What items will I need to mount this onto the Flex. The Flex is a naked roof no factory rails and no factory cross bars?

Expert Reply:
To install a roof rack system on your 2012 Ford Flex, you will need a set of SkyLine Towers, # Y53TR, a set of RoudBar Adapters, # Y03536, and the landing pads, # Y00233. Along with a set of Yakima CrossBars. Yakima recommends 58 inch CrossBars, # Y00409.
If your previous Taurus X used 58 inch CrossBars, my research shows it most likely does, then you would not need to purchase new CrossBars.
