The complete Yakima Q Towers roof rack system delivers quadruple (hence the Q) movement capability for an unsurpassed form fit to vehicles with naked roofs. Upgraded with a new die-cast interior for even longer lasting durability and super quick installation. This is the most versatile multi-purpose base rack solution for truck cabs & cars without rain gutters or factory racks (a naked roof). We highly recommend a four pack of Yakima Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below) to lock the rack to vehicle.
The Yakima Q Towers complete roof rack includes all 3 components that are necessary for installing a general-purpose base rack on your vehicle's roof top, providing the platform that will allow you to then connect roof mount gear carriers that carry your gear and equipment:
- Four (4) Yakima 0124 Q Towers.
- Four (4) Yakima Q Clips (specific to your vehicle; see ordering notes below).
- Two (2) Yakima Cross Bars (bar end caps included).
Protective surfaces prevent shifting and also protect vehicle paint and surfaces. Self-adjusting for virtually any roof. Quick installation with quick cam. Strong, stainless steel clips fit tight doors. Can be locked to the rooftop using a 4-pack of Yakima Racks SKS Lock Cores (not included; see accessory add-ons below).Easy-to-follow installation instructions manual included. Yakima Racks Lifetime Warranty!
NOTE: Short roof lined cars including 2-door models must check the Yakima Racks automated fit guide (see below) to find out if your car or truck requires the additional Yakima-8000134 Q Stretch Kit short roof line adapter component (not included; see accessory add-ons below).

Easy to assemble and looks good too!
this Yakima Q-Tower Review by Jim Ox
vehicle year/make/model: 2009 Audi A4
item(s) transported: bikes
The Yakima racks are dead simple to install even on my car that doesn't have a factory roof rack. It took about 30 minutes from unboxing to putting the bike on the roof. Would suggest this rack to anyone who needs to transport gear.
Idiot Proof and Solid
this Yakima Q-Tower Review by J. Preston
vehicle year/make/model: 2007 Ford Focus 5 Door
item(s) transported: Eventually bikes and skis, maybe a cargo box.
I finally bit the bullet and bought a roof rack system and I chose Yakima over Thule because the salesperson told me that they would fit the rounded shape of the roofline of my Focus the best. It made sense to me. Because Yakima bars are round, accessories that are mounted to them can be pivoted and aligned as desired. When it came to installing them (I wasn’t willing to pay the $50 installation fee) I was amazed at how easy it all went together. The directions are very clear and before you even put the towers on the roof, you’ve already positioned them on the bars according to the very specific
measurements that are included. The measurements also tell you where to place the front bar in relation to the windshield, and how far back the rear bar needs to be. The way that the tower locks down is commendable as well, and is foolproof due to a set of hashmarks, which help you to know exactly how tight they should be set. You know they are at the perfect tension when you see one hashmark, not two or zero. Idiot proof. Once they were installed, I grabbed the bars and shook my car and they didn’t budge. The lock cores went in with ease and everything was all set, and it only took me about an hour.
Better than Thule Aero Feet
this Yakima Q-Tower Review by Sam Belmore
vehicle year/make/model: 2000 Honda Prelude
item(s) transported: Surf Board and Wind Board
Compared with Thule Aero Towers, I personally feel that the Q-Towers are more attractive (they sit lower on the roof) and are definitely easier to install. They fit so well you’d think they were factory installed. As far as price, they are within a few dollars of Thule. Just make sure your car uses Q Towers. They have several types of towers and the Q-Towers aren’t always the ones you may need. The other thing that is cool about the Q-Towers is once they are adjusted to fit your vehicle, you can take them off in minutes. I think they are the best racks out there.
Product Discussion
Discuss the Yakima Q Tower roofrack system. Use the form below to fire away with your questions, answers and general comments about this product. |
ORS Racks Direct crew explains - Besides transporting luggage, sports gear and equipment etc, our manufacturers' roofrack systems, including the Yakima Q Tower system, are actually a great choice for carrying commercial / construction materials as well. These racks are much stronger than factory racks. Attaching a set of general purpose Yakima Load Stops to Yakima base rack system crossbars is an excellent setup for transporting lumber, plywood, ladders, and much more.
LUCY K asks - I need a 2009 Nissan Cube roof rack and want to confirm the Q Towers are what I need for a Nissan Cube rack. Thanks!
juniperMT answers - Yes, the Q Towers are the correct choice for a 2009 Nissan Cube rack. This is what I have installed on mine and it works great. You'll get two pairs of Q31 clips to use on the 09 Nissan Cube. Make sure to select the 58 inch length crossbars.
Frank C. asks - I still have Q Towers system from my old car. Would I be able to use them on a 2005 Honda CRV?
Steve answers - Only the crossbars. The 2005 Honda CR-V has fix points on the rooftop. You would attach the Yakima LP8 Landing Pads to these fix points. Then snap on the Yakima Control Towers to the LP8 Landing Pads. You can then connect your pair of crossbars to the Control Towers.
TIM HAWKS asks - Can these racks cause rain to seep into around door? I am think of using this as a Ford Focus roof rack.
ORS Racks Direct crew responds - No chance of rain getting in. Car rack manufacturers invest much time and money engineering systems to prevent any possible water issues. The Q Towers roofrack is no exception. The Q clips provide a seemless fit so they don't impact the car doors.
