Yakima Whispbar Roof Rack

Category: Accessories
Price: $175
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits: 2010+ G37 Sedan
Location (State/Prov): AZ
Item Condition: Used


On my G37




Selling my Yakima Whispbar to fit G37 and Sedan . Not sure about the coupes. These cost me almost $500 new. Used for one AZ "winter," that's it. Comes with the feet to attach it and 4 keys. Will ship in original boxes at buyers expense, payment via PayPal.

The first picture is this rack on my G. I loved it because it is flush with the car so it keeps the lines really clean still. Also virtually no wind noise and you can still use the sun roof. It has all kinds of technology to reduce drag/noise. Mark where you put it inside the door jam, and makes for very easy on/off.

PS. I have the snowboard and ski attachment (holds 4 boards and 6 skis). Also it is height adjustable if your bindings are big. If it is a deal breaker without and you want that we can work something out.

I see that both the yakima fitment site (https://pit.yakima.com/) and whispbar site (Roof Rack Flush Bars | Whispbar) suggests using Whispbar Fit Kit K703W, I could not see any official site that support using K558w. Do you know why the discrepancy?

So apparently the K558W was recalled (like 7 years ago) and I had no idea until you just brought this up. I never had any problems with mine loosening or anything though, luckily. I have started a conversation with Yakima, and will see what they are going to do. It does look like the K703W is the smartfoot that replaced the recalled K558W for our Gs. So I will let you know when I have a better answer from Yakima. Thanks for the inquiry!

So they finally got back with me. They no longer have any replacement feet because they don't manufacture the "whispbar" line any longer. So I can't replace with anything new. This is definitely the correct model number for G37 fitment (K558W = K703W).

However, I had this rack on my car for only one season, but it was on my car for at least 4 - 5 months before I got around to taking it off. When taking it off I didn't notice one thing being loose. So I'm still very confident you shouldn't have any problems, same as me.

Looking at Yakima website, their only option for G sedan starts at $500, and those aren't the flush mount bars that actually look good on the car like these. I think this is a steal for anyone looking for a rack for their G. And I'll lower it to $150 plus shipping we can work out, I have a loop hole for shipping large items. Let me know what you think.

Found the new updated smartfoot K703 on ebay for $50! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Whispbar-Sm...-/232581226631

I gotta get rid of these so $100 plus shipping if you want the Flushbars. And I'll give you the old fitments as well.
