Railgrab

by Yakima

Product Description

The RailGrab Tower is designed to adjust to fit numerous vehicles without factory roof racks, regardless of side rail style. This single tower replaces SIX previous products from Yakima, including the LowRider, Locking EZ Rider, LowRider Max and three claws. For retailers and consumers, this means less confusion at the point of purchase?one mount fits all. For the environment, it means less energy, packaging and materials put into so many different SKUs, which is a good thing. The claw inside this unit can be adjusted up or down to fit your car?s side rail, then anchors to the bar to keep it set.

Available in a 2 pack or 4 pack Or a Kit which includes two 58" Yakima crossbars and 4 RailGrab towers. Each sold separately!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a perfect fit, but works well, December 9, 2010

I bought these for a Volvo V50. They are "universal" fit which means they fit everything okay and probably nothing perfectly. The curve isn't an exact match, and the plastic keeper claw isn't an exact match (to the Volvo rails), so a little light shows through. But that said, they are well made, very secure, and look fine on the vehicle. The 48" cross bars are a little wide, and I'm debating on whether to trim them or not. Personal taste.
One very minor but annoying idiosyncrasy - the locking piece for securing the crossbars will come off the end of the tightening screw (if you loosen it all the way out). It's a real pain to get it threaded back on the screw, you need to take the cross bar out. This can be extra work if you already have bike racks installed and they have to be loosened or removed too.

Had a rental car for a kayaking trip. My existing rack wouldn't fit on newer factory installed roof racks, so purchased the rail grabbers. Worked great. Easy to install and held up well, even in 45 mile per hour gusts on the way home. Good product.

This is my second pair of yakima rack equipment. I now have them for both my vehicles. The design on these are updated from my first set and I love it. They are snug... look like they should be there... yet still just as durable and heavy-duty.
