Q: I am trying to find my options on roof racks. Two questions:
(1) Trying to figure out if the Yakima RailGrab kit actually will fit on to the factory rail on my 2008 Buick Enclave CXL. Yakima site says yes. But some Internet postings disagree. Have you had experience with this vehicle?
(2) If I do go ahead with the Yakima setup, I have a pair of Thule Ski Racks, is there an adapter which would allow me to use the Thule Ski Racks on Yakima Round Cross Bars?
A: Yes the Yakima Railgrab is listed as fitting the ’08 Enclave using the small claws that are included. I have no personal experience with this vehicle, but here is the fit guide limits and bar size:
| BUICK Enclave | ||||
| Year Range: | 2008-2012 | Fit Type: | Top | |
| Factory Rack: | Factory Flush Siderails | Weight Limit: | 100 lbs | |
| Tower: | RailGrab | Required Accessory: | ||
| Crossbar Length: | 58″ CrossBars | Recommended Fairing: | 38″ Fairing | |
| Front Clips: | Small Claws | Rear Clips: | Small Claws | |
And most Thule racks that are made after say 2003 will fit to Yakima bars, if older then you may need to try and source a discontinued Thule adapter called the FM1.
