We decided it was time to design some crossbar mounting brackets that merged the typical artificial rain-gutter bracket and the crossbar tower into a simple, stout product. Made from 11-gauge stainless steel, these brackets use your choice of U-bolts or billet aluminum clamps (sold separately) to mount Yakima crossbars just above the roof of the pop-top, keeping your loads as low as possible. This attachment system creates a simple, affordable, low-profile and tidy look compared to some other bulkier alternatives. If you're like most of us and you typically leave your roof rack in place all the time, this system is worth your consideration. Crossbars and mounting clamps sold separately.
