Will the Yakima Roof Rack Bundle fit my Westfalia Bus, Vanagon, or Eurovan pop-top?

Yes, the Yakima Roof Rack Bundle [Westfalia] is specifically designed for pop-top Westfalia models, including Bus (1968-1979), Vanagon (1980-1991), and Eurovan (1993-2003). It ensures a secure fit by attaching to the rain gutters, making it an ideal choice for these vehicles. Please be sure to select the correct year and model of your van when purchasing.

How difficult is it to install the Yakima Roof Rack Bundle on my Westfalia?

Installation is straightforward and does not require drilling or permanent modifications to your pop-top. The rack clamps securely to the rain gutters with included hardware. Instructions are included; most customers find the process can be completed with basic tools in about an hour. Make sure to check that the mounting feet are aligned properly to avoid any issues with opening your pop-top.

What are the differences between the 1, 2, and 3 bar systems, and which should I choose?

The 1-bar system works for lightweight loads or shorter gear, while the 2-bar bundle is the most popular choice, offering stability and even weight distribution for bike racks, cargo boxes, or roof baskets. The 3-bar system maximizes cargo capacity for larger loads (like long kayaks or extra gear). Consider what you plan to carry and how frequently you’ll use the rack to decide which option fits your travel needs.

Can I keep the Yakima Roof Rack on while operating the pop-top or during camping?

Yes, this Yakima system is designed to stay installed even when you raise or lower your pop-top. It sits low enough that it won't interfere with the raising mechanism and allows full use of your camper while adding valuable cargo space for adventures.

How does the value and durability of the Yakima Roof Rack Bundle compare to other rack options?

The Yakima Roof Rack Bundle [Westfalia] is known for its durability and perfect fit for Westfalia pop-tops. Unlike generic roof racks, this bundle uses quality Yakima steel bars and robust feet designed to handle the unique contours and stress points of your van. It's a long-term investment that supports a wide range of Yakima accessories and adds significant utility and resale value to your Westy without compromising safety or function.

Nice addition to my van

I got this over the GoWesty Roof Rack Bundle because I was concerned with clearance issues of fitting the van in my garage; this kit allows for the cross bars and towers to be removed leaving only the artificial rain gutter brackets. This kit was fairly easy to install once I decided on the spacing between the cross bars and their location, I mounted them as far back as I could to allow the poptop to be opened easily and also allow the skylight to be opened with my cargo box installed. I would definitely recommend using a square and measuring everything multiple times to ensure the bars are level and square when finished.

Perfect fit

Everything came as ordered

Rack

Well made, good quality. Would be an easier install if it came with the 15mm wrench required to tighten the shear block bolts

Making it easy!

The good folks at GoWesty have made this package more affordable than buying some from rack manufacturer and some from bracket manufacturer. Shipped quick and well packaged.
