Samba vw eurovan11/3/2023 Found a few on eBay and should arrive before we take this baby across the country! Thank you Posted: Sun 5:50 am Post subject: Re: Yakima roof rack bars, length? Two years ago I was able to track a few down, but they're hard to find as I don't think they make them anymore. Posted: Thu 8:10 pm Post subject: Re: Yakima roof rack bars, length? Talk about reviving this from the dead, does anyone know what number Q Clips Yakima used with our EV's? Posted: Thu 2:22 pm Post subject: Re: Yakima roof rack bars, length? Has anyone else w/a Winnie with a moderate sag in the roof found anything that reduces the amount of sag? There's some sag to the pop-top itself, and I have a feeling that the rack, which I've seen in pics to have carried a bullet box unit of some kind, likely with too much load, caused the sag. They are mounted just inside the hump at the edge where the flat top plane loops up and over to make the sides of the roof. My new (to me) '97 full camper has a pair of tracks (I guess that describes them) on the roof w/Yakama bars going across. I believe they are a T track, but will they accommodate Thule or Yakima fittings? I've been wondering about the track on my EVC pop top. Posted: Tue 5:54 pm Post subject: Re: yakima roof rack bars, length? I think an 8'8" would fit fine and you would get more coverage over the front door. In normal use I have plenty of clearance. The only time I have an issue with the front door is if it is raining and I slant the awning downward it will slightly hit the front door. I believe mine is the 8'2", I like the size and think it fits perfect. Posted: Wed 8:45 pm Post subject: Re: Yakima roof rack bars, length? I remember that the 10' would not fit when we measured but I didn't know there was a 270 cm option at the time. My van is in another state, so I can't measure. Just in case I need to put something a board or kayak alongside my yakima what length is your fiamma? 8'/2.5 meters? Trying to decide if a 270 will fit. I also have the longer bars hanging over. Posted: Tue 6:27 am Post subject: Re: Yakima roof rack bars, length? I love your custom-painted brackets, looks great! Posted: Sun 4:54 pm Post subject: Re: Yakima roof rack bars, length? I am very pleased how it came out.įirst picture is the brackets right side up, notice the higher profile. Thanks everyone for their feedback and input on the bars and mounting suggestions. The angle of the bracket and the side roof makes for a good hold, I have no concerns of the tower slipping off the bracket. I flipped my brackets this morning and it worked out.

The rack and box have been off the van since our return though. No issues incurred during a ≈3000 mile road trip to CO and back over the summer with the box installed. If my measurements are accurate, I should be able to (barely) park the van in the garage with the towers and bars installed, I've just never attempted it. I initially installed them upside-down in order to make the entire assembly lower profile. Ha, I was wondering if somebody would notice my flipping of the brackets.

Have you had any issues with the brackets being upside down? GreenLaker I just noticed you had your brackets upside down, I have mine the other way and I am thinking of reversing them like your's to lower the rack by 1.5 inches or.
