The complete Yakima Control Towers roof rack system creates a strong and sturdy multi-purpose roof rack system for cars and trucks with a factory rack and track system. The included Yakima Landing Pads snap into the factory rack tracks, replacing the weak and/or incompatible factory rack setup. The Yakima Control Towers then simply attach to the Landing Pads. This system also works with all Yakima permanently installed Tracks and vehicles with pre-installed fixed attachment points provided by the vehicle manufacturer. Also permanently mounts to Yakima #7 Landing Pads (for metal surfaces) & Yakima #6 Landing Pads (for fiberglass surfaces) for fiberglass truck cap, camper shell or tonneau cover etc & sheet metal roofs that have no factory rack already. Set of four Landing Pad Covers also included for providing a finished look when Yakima Control Towers roof rack system is removed and only Landing Pads are left on rooftop (Covers simply snap onto Landing Pads). We highly recommend a four pack of Yakima Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below) to lock the rack to vehicle.
The Yakima Control Towers complete roof rack includes all 3 components that are necessary for installing a general-purpose base rack, providing the platform that will allow you to then connect roof mount gear carriers that carry your gear and equipment:
- Four (4) Yakima 0214 Contol Towers.
- Four (4) Yakima Landing Pads (specific to your vehicle; see ordering notes below).
- Two (2) Yakima Cross Bars (bar end caps included).
- Also includes four (4) Yakima Landing Pad Covers.
Can be locked to the vehicle using a four pack of Yakima Racks SKS Lock Cores (not included; see accessory add-ons below). New lower profile for a sleek integrated look. Hassle-free adjustment of the crossbar spread on tracks without having to remove towers or bars - simply slide them to whatever position desired. Easy-to-follow installation instructions manual included. Yakima Racks Lifetime Warranty!

Perfect Rack for Honda Element
this Yakima Control Towers Review by Lonny Matsuda
vehicle year/make/model: 2003 Honda Element
item(s) transported: cargo gear box
We installed the Control Towers in 20 minutes and the bars and locks in another 10 minutes. Everything worked great and our current Thule Roof Box fit on the Yakima racks without any drilling, perfect hole matchup. Thank you ORS!
Much cleaner and easier to use than Q-Towers
this Yakima Control Tower Review by W.L. Buckler
vehicle year/make/model: 2001 Ford Explorer
item(s) transported: Gear of all sorts
Control towers are the way to go if you have the option of either those or the Q-Towers. Not that there's anything wrong with the Q-Towers, its just that the Control Towers look a lot cleaner and are way easier to install than the Qs. I had Q-Towers on my last vehicle and was able to reuse my bars and I can say that I like the Control Towers much, much more.
Set 'em and forget 'em
this Yakima Control Tower Review by K.J.T.
vehicle year/make/model: 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
item(s) transported: bikes
Yakima Control Towers are great. So much easier to deal with than the Q-Towers. You can just "set 'em, and forget 'em. They don’t need to be constantly readjusted and the Landing Pads mounted in the Dodge Factory Tracks perfectly. They go on so easily and can be removed from the car easily. In the winter, I just take the whole system off with my three bike attachments still attached. Couldn't be more convenient.
Better than factory rack. Easy on/off.
this Yakima Control Towers Review by Vlad
vehicle year/make/model: 2009 Mazda 3
item(s) transported: kayaks, bikes
Mazda (US version) takes landing pads LP11. Mounting (with the included easy drill of the black strips) is about 30 minutes. Once complete landing pads and towers are easy on/off. Much better than factory racks since you can take them off and save gas and eliminate wind noise. Even the landing pads are easy on/off, but in reality they're so inconspicuous that you MAYBE bother to take them off once a season. Great value, easy install.

Musky asks - I have a Fleetwood tent trailer with factory roof tracks. Which landing pads do I need to order?
CRITTER3 responds - Use the Yakima LP1 Landing Pads for the Fleetwood Tent Trailer tracks on the roof. My Fleetwood Tent Trailer roof rack is the Yakama Control Tower system too. I love it!
