      Comments about Yakima RailGrab Towers - Set of 4:

      I'm not sure if the other reviewer has his Birkenstocks on a little too tight but I found the Rail Grab simple and easy to install… and I'm a girl!!! Bought them from the local REI at their Anniversary Sale and put them on that afternoon.Can't get more simpler… single allen wrench is all you need[...]. Not sure what the running around is all about (maybe he can't read the tape measure) but I took my time and I spent about a half an hour and it was on and locked.No problems or issues so far and it's as steady as a rock… great product.

          This product sucks.

          First of all it is terribly difficult to install, requiring you to walk from side to side on the car to get it "just" right a thousand times.

          It is a total pain and is not secure. The bolt on the back is exposed so theoretically, despite the lock, someone could unscrew it and steal the whole wrack with your stuff on it.

          The Thule Crossroads has a solid rubber and steel strap that goes over the rails and secures in 5 minutes or less. This product I tinkered with for 2 hours and finally felt that it would never truly make me feel secure on the freeway ever.

          Don't do it. Sucks, sucks, sucks.

            This rack is rock solid. After a few adjustments of the claw it fits perfect. Mounted it to the factory rack on a 05 Toyota Forerunner. Will be hauling canoe to MN this summer. Should have no problems. I have been using Yakima products for over 20 years and have never had any problems.
            Even comes with a set of end caps for your crossbars.

              Comments about Yakima RailGrab Towers - Set of 4:

              I bought this rack yesterday at the sale - [$] off. It installed in maybe a half hour and is very stable. I installed my ski rack, but have not put the bike rack on yet. I have to say it couldn't have been easier to install and seems solid as a rock. I would definitely recommend this and the 20% off makes it reasonably affordable. Added locks also.

              Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
