Yakima SlimShady 4.5' Sunshade Awning
Deep Dive
title: Yakima, SlimShady 4.5'
Don't let its low-profile fool you: this awning packs small and delivers big. From sideline cheers to ridge line views, the SlimShady offers excellent protection from searing sun and sudden showers. It mounts quickly and easily (no tools needed!) to your roof rack crossbars, and only takes up six inches of bar space leaving plenty of room for cargo boxes, bikes, or boats. Super easy to use—just roll it out and set up the poles—its light, strong polyester canopy has a waterproof PU coating to shed rain and serve up plenty of shady coverage on summer days. Available in three sizes, so you're covered no matter how far, or near, your adventures take you.
FAQs:
Q: Will it mount to round crossbars?
A: Yes, the mounting brackets are adjustable to various shapes of mounting bars.
Q: Will this fit my 2014 Subaru Outback factory roof racks?
A: Yes.
Q: Can it be mounted facing the rear?
A: Depends on your rack mostly if you have a cross bar in the back. I don't, so sideways is my only option.
