FIRST OFF, THANKS!

Welcome to the Yakima family.  We appreciate your support and are confident that you’ll get years of solid 

performance from your new Yakima product.   Below are a few helpful hints to make sure that you have a great 

ownership experience. Please keep these instructions.

IMPORTANT FIT INFORMATION 

WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT ON A VEHICLE THAT IS INDICATED AS “NO-FIT”

The Yakima Fit List now includes approved SkyRise Fits for many popular vehicles. Updates and additions to the Yakima Fit List for 

Roof-Top tents are being made continually. 
Vehicles that we have seen and tested are designated as “FIT” or “NO-FIT” for SkyRise.  Fits for SkyRise are different than for other 

Yakima products.   

Please note that virtually all factory crossbars are too flexible for Roof-Top tents. So vehicles on the approved 

Fit list will still require a Yakima base rack system.

  If we have not tested your particular vehicle and rack system, you can use the 

checklist below to evaluate whether your vehicle and rack system may support a SkyRise.  

Remember: The checklist below is designed to be a guideline only and any installation 

not on our approved Fit list is at the sole risk and responsibility of the owner / installer.
