Handles It All!

this Yakima Lowrider review by Ben Frost
vehicle year/make/model: 2001 VW Jetta wagon
item(s) transported: anything that fits in a roof box, ladders, canoe

Take it from me the Yakima Lowrider is built to withstand the abuse of carrying all kinds of loads. I'm the kind of guy that uses the roof rack way beyond what the manufacturer states the allowable weight load is. I have a cargo box mounted to the Lowrider crossbars and use the roof box to carry all kinds of stuff from the hardware store, I've even carried cement mix bags! I also carry ladders and use it for a canoe on the weekends. The Yakima Low Rider has never failed me yet. I'm not sure if the Yakima round bars are stronger than Thule square bars (I've read stuff online about both Yakima and Thule claiming to be stronger) but I can tell you the round crossbars from Yakima can handle it all!

Lowrider Made Me a Roof Rack Convert

this Yakima Lowrider review by snowmanCO
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Saab 9-5 wagon
item(s) transported: skis and snowboards

First of all, I was the last guy that wanted to use a roof rack on my Saab 9-5. I don't find them to be all that attractive and I always hear stories about them making noises when rolling down the highway. So when I found out I needed an after-market roof rack to mount to the Saab 9-5 factory side rails so I could attach a ski rack, I really took the time to find the model that would work the best on my side rails, would have the best low-profile appearance and no wind noise either (by the way nice job on the Lowrider car rack video guys!). I can now say I'm a roof rack convert. The Yakima Low Rider looks very sweet on the Saab 9-5 and doesn't make any noise either.

Great Rack! EZ install.

The towers are great and easy to install. The only thing bad about the whole system is one of my end caps feel off a crossbar already. I suggest glueing them on or up grading to the strap caps that screw on.
