DIY--Roof Rack?

[Tucson25Newbie]

Looking to recycle my old Yakima round roof rack crossbars to use on the roof of a Mav XLT Hybrid to lock down ladders and longer items in my side handyman gig. Does the stock Mav have a system ? Gutter or otherwise to attach towers or any other system to be able to attach a single crossbar ?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the answer is "no" to all your questions. You have to resort to a crossbar that has towers that clamp onto the roof like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BDMLSC23/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We recycled our old round Yakima bars. The Yakima towers have a round bar adapter. Simple to install. Directions for placement is a bit fussy. Here’s the setup we used for off island kayak transport. We decided that moving it forward works better. We were able to use all our old round bar gea.r.

Thanks, any tight shots of the adaptors ?

Actually no I found a workaround with Q-Towers, just need to get the correct clips and pads.
