Fitting a Yakima roof rack to Sears Sports 20 SV cargo carrier

Answer 1

There is no doubt that a Yakima roof track will fir to sears sports 20 SV cargo carrier. It is better to wash the car's roof as installing your roof rack on top of a layer of mud or grit will not only make it harder to clean in the future and perhaps also make the attachment points of your roof rack weak. Making the hand s***w loose on the exterior of each post, there will be four stanchions, each of which can be loosened on the exterior by hand. Avoid unscrew too far, as this will make the adjustment s***w out completely. The exterior hand s***w should be loose enough to allow spreading the tower open, revealing the inner mechanisms. Loosen the tower opening wide enough for crossbars fitting. There is an Allen wrench adjustment point where the tower opens on a hinge (due to the loosened adjustment s***w). Insert Allen wrench and turn to the left until the tower's opening is wide enough to contain the crossbar. Insert crossbars between the four towers making sure that two crossbars with towers loosely attached to either end. Once the crossbar distance from tower to tower is achieved as required, re-tighten the Allen wrench adjustment points. Attach pads and caps to towers and crossbars to prevent the rack from scratching the roof, while the caps simply close off the end of crossbars preventing rainwater settling inside. Opening car doors and center racks on the roof to align the front rack away from the top of the windshield. Locking front rack towers using metal clips to grip on the underside of the rim of car doors, push the clips up into the loosened tower housing, allowing the bottom to catch firmly on the inside of the car door. Now by tightening all the screws and stuff, repeat for the other three towers and finally tug and pull on the towers and crossbars to make sure everything is firmly in place.
