RE: Thule crossbars with Yakima saddles

I recently got a new car and had to get Thule crossbars (long story)--unfortunately all my saddle sets are Yakima. Is there a way I can use or an adjustment I can make to these saddles (round fittings) to my Thule crossbars (square shape).

Your Yakima saddle should have come with universal mount.

If you break off the tabs on the inside part that goes around the bar it will fit a square bar. I have Thule racks with Yakima saddles/rollers. It was very easy to set up. :roll:

If you don't have them....all the regular places like REI, Kittery Trading, etc carry the square mount adapters
