Comments about Yakima 58 Inch Round Bars - Pair:

I've had a number of sets of Yakima bars over the past couple of decades.

And the RUSTING, and decomposition of the crossbars, is the number one problem I have with this rack system.

Eventhough, the steel tubing that the bars are made of is galvanized tubing, they still RUST... When they use a chop saw to cut the lengths of tubing the cut ends are exposed and this vulnerable area of the tube end rusts, and destroys the bar.

And the cheap plastic end caps actually contribute to the rusting problems. The least Yakima could do is use integrated bar ends.

I wish they would make the anodized aluminum bars again. But it's been about 20 years since I've seen them around.

Comments about Yakima 58 Inch Round Bars - Pair:

I followed the REI car fitting advise. The bars are way too long. They didn't come with end caps. What "engineer" at Yakima thought round was a good idea. The front wheel holder spins around, causing the tire to damage the paint on the roof of my car. Also, difficult to align the towers. I regret buying a Yakima rack. Also wicked pricey! [$] buck for some vinyl covered tubes. I should have shopped at a hardware store first.

Comments about Yakima 58 Inch Round Bars - Pair:

The entire Yakima rack works very well. Bars? Well, they're a quiet, integral part of the setup. No bars, no rack. They work. What more of a complement can you ask for?

Comments about Yakima 58 Inch Round Bars - Pair:

I have had my Yakima bars for three cars spanning two decades, yes that's two. I have put everything up top on my cars. Bikes, a rocket box, ski racks, and moved furniture. The bars and the roof system has held up admirably. Thing is I didn't think these bars could last forever and decided to replace them with new ones.

When I took the bars off to replace them I could not believe my eyes upon inspection. No rust, yah, no rust!!! Now believe me I wanted to return the bars I had just brought, but decided to give this review instead. I used the end caps with the hooks intergrate in the caps. I took the plastic ones off long ago. I put the old bars upside a wall and tried to bend them by stepping on them, no dents or bending occured.

So I put them up in the garage. I guess trophies of down right good quality! Nobody will go wrong buying these bars! They are just that good! Period!!

Comments about Yakima 58 Inch Round Bars - Pair:

I bought my first Yakima rack in 1993 and I'm still using it even though I can't get clips for the Q-towers; I've made it work. And I just recently moved the bars to my new car using the Railgrab towers. They had the tiniest bit of rust when I took off the end caps, but nothing that's a deal breaker, especially after 17 years!

Comments about Yakima 58 Inch Round Bars - Pair:

I've used this product for years. I had a set that I passed on to my son for his car after I purchased a longer set for tacoma truck. Nothing lasts forever (2nd law of thermodynamics), but these will carry you a long way! I carry kayaks, bikes, surfboards, skis, & more on roads & into the back country. The perfect addition to the L2S Sport Rack Brackets!
