RailGrab is a Real Beauty
this Yakima 0138 RailGrab Towers review by Jefford Scott
I still can't believe how easy it was to install this on my Toyota Sienna siderails. All I had to do was connect the Claws to the RailGrab Towers and then put them on the Sienna factory rails and tighten the knob on each Claw then use the allen wrench to do the final tightening of the Towers. I'm really happy with the setup. I use it to carry a couple of bikes and a kayak sometimes. Very sturdy and absolutely no movement whatsoever as of writing this. Hats off to Yakima Racks for dreaming up this beauty.
Allows Me to Use One RoofRack on 2 Cars
this Yakima 0138 RailGrab Towers review by Kayak4Life
This is exactly what I needed to be able to use one roofrack on two cars. I have an older model Subaru Forester with flush siderails and a new edition Subaru Outback with regular raised factory rails. The RailGrab Towers are perfect for quickly switching the car rack between both cars. It takes a little time to adjust and tighten the Towers each time I switch it out but the savings in not having to buy 2 systems is worth it to me.

ngidcumb asks - I have a 2009 Toyota RAV 4, naked roof, except for 4 accessible 'slots' where the factory roof would go, bolts intact in these slots. I have Yakama crossbars / Towers from my previous vehicle, just need something to attach them to the 2009 Toyota RAV4, other than the 'door clip' option...if there is such a thing...Would the Yakama Rail Grab Towers be on option?
ORS Racks Direct crew answers - Unfortunately, as of this writing (7/14/2009) there is no compatible 2009 Toyota RAV 4 roof rack option. None of the manufacturers of roofracks, including Yakima Racks, Thule Racks and Inno Racks, have a solution. Chances are one or more of these companies will have a solution in the future. You'll want to check our Yakima, Thule and Inno fit guide tools in the future to determine if anyone has devised a compatible system.
Product Videos
Yakima 0138 RailGrab Towers review video & demo by ORS Racks Direct. Demonstration movie of the Yakima Racks RailGrab Tower showing how they are universally compatible with virtually all styles of factory rails - flush siderails, raised siderails and fat oversized side rails included. Installs ultra-fast by simply adjusting the included claws to firmly grab hold of the siderails for an iron grip. Yakima RailGrab Towers offer a nice sleek and integrated look to complement any vehicle. Towers sit low for excellent aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. A 4 pack of Yakima Locks is recommended (sold separately) to lock the rack to the car. Once installed, any Yakima Racks gear carriers, as well as virtually all other car rack manufacturers' gear carriers, will attach directly to the round Yakima cross bars (required for use with Rail Grab Towers).
