Roof Rack Towers & Cross Bars

[D45]

I need a roof rack, with the towers and cross bars on my Swiss Cap

From Swiss, they sell the cheap Pannon Rack with the towers and bars for $220

I like the Yakima systems, because they are lockable and seem to be better made

Here is a pic of the tracks that are currently on my cap:

Does these landing pads look like they are what I need?

I had the Yakima landing pads on my old truck (GMC 2500). I really like them because it takes no time to take the whole rack off the roof. no tools, just the key to unlock it, then you just flip down the tower sides and lift the whole rack off.

I believe you need the Landing pad #1. The #4 is for factory roof tracks (not like yours)

I also used the 58" cross bars and they are perfect width for my canopy with no trimming

Thanks for the info.........I am thinking the #1 landing pads also

There are a ton of the landing pads and towers on Ebay for cheap

I ended up buying used towers, cross bars & accessories (roof box etc...), but I bought new landing pads from the local rack shop (Rack n' Road out here). That way, if they didn't work, I could exchange them.

Something else that I did on the the inside of my canopy was to add a D ring at each track bolt location. Then I ran some thick bungee through the rings and I could store stuff against the roof. increased storage. I used it to hold surf board out of the way of everything else.

Easy solution............email Yakima directly

"The difference between LP1 and LP4 is the size of the plates that slide in the track that are included in each package.
The tracks in your picture are Yakima tracks, you can use Landing Pad 1 with Control Towers to get bars mounted up there.

Yes I am happy with it. I got the track and landing pad with the rod are 48" I think at craiglist for 150 good deal. Roof rack is megawarrior with extension.
