This Yakima application is a little different than the Q clips referred to in your
Q Tower instructions. The M2 measurement (front bar) and M4 measurement
(rear bar) are not necessary because these vehicles have mounting posts
installed by the car maker and are not adjustable.
Before you begin—
Find the mounting posts under the
rubber trim on your vehicle. The
front and rear posts are located
approximately 6 and 36 inches from
your windshield, respectively.
Attach towers to front and rear crossbars using the M1 and M3
measurements listed below. Follow steps 1–6 in your Q Tower instructions.
