This Yakima application is a little different than the Q clips referred to in your
Q Tower instructions. The M2 measurement (front bar) and M4 measurement
(rear bar) are not necessary because these vehicles have mounting posts
installed by the car maker and are not adjustable.
Before you begin—
Find the mounting posts under the
rubber trim on your vehicle. The
front and rear posts are located
approximately 6 and 36 inches
from your windshield, respectively.
Install Clips. Follow steps 9 and 10 in
your Q Tower instructions.
Attach towers to front
and rear crossbars
using the M1 and M3
measurements listed
below.
Follow steps 1–6 in
your Q Tower
instructions.
Slide Clip Tower
assemblies FORWARD
until they stop.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 on
other 3 Towers.
Pull back rubber trim to reveal a pair
of front mounting posts.
With car doors open, gently place front
bar assembly over front mounting posts
and rear bar assembly over rear
mounting posts.
Center racks so the distance from door
frame to Tower base is equal on both
sides of car.
Slide Clip Tower
assemblies down
onto the posts as
pictured.
