Turn your factory rack equipped vehicle into a gear hauling machine. They're "one-size-fits-all" and can be used with pretty much every Yakima accessory in the universe. Hence, the name.
- We think you got the idea by now, but just in case you haven't, these bad boys work with your factory rack to allow you to handle almost any Yakima product
- Dynaflex padded bails provide protection and grip
- Accessory Lock Housing and SKS Cores add security (SOLD SEPARATELY)
- Set of four
- No additional tools required
- We think they're so great, some say they inspired our new tagline. That's not exactly the way it went down, but we do think these suckers are pretty sweet.
Q: How do I...?
A: Please see the product instructions for installation/use information.
Q: Which bike mounts can I use with Universal MightyMounts?
A: Cobra and King Cobra, Raptor, Lockjaw, and GT mounts will work. Anklebiters do not work with Universal MightyMounts!
Q: Which boat mounts can I use with Universal MightyMounts?
A: HullRaiser, Mako Saddles, Hully Roller, Land Shark, Multi-Mounts, and the older Hoop-style Kayak Stackers will work. Post-style Kayak Stackers do not work with Universal MightyMounts!
Q: Which ski mounts can I use with Universal MightyMounts?
A: LiftTicket 4, LiftTicket 6, Big Powderhound SE, and PowderHound SE.
Q: Why won’t the fork style bike mounts (Viper, SteelHead, etc.) work with Universal MightyMounts?
A: The headpieces of fork style bike mounts are molded to fit directly on the load bar, and cannot be adapted with MightyMounts. In many cases Yakima crosssbars can be mounted in lieu of the factory original crossbars to give the required strength and compatibility for fork style mounts.
Q: The listing for my car says I can only carry skis, but not bikes or boats....why?
A: While most factory racks are capable of carrying skis, not all racks are capable of supporting bikes without damage to, or failure of the rack.
Q: How many MightyMounts do I need?
A: They come in boxed sets of 4. This is enough to mount a BasketCase or one upright style bike mount.
Q: How many bikes can I carry on my factory rack using MightyMounts?
A: Please refer to the Fit List for specific details on your vehicle.
Q: How much can I carry?
A: Follow the Fit List or your owner’s manual for your rack’s weight limit. Do not exceed the factory weight limit of your vehicle’s racks. Maximum weight is 165 lbs, unless otherwise noted.
There are three types of MightyMounts that turn your factory-rack-equipped vehicle into a gear-hauling machine. Vertical and Horizontal MightyMounts are bar-specific, and come in two styles. Universal MightyMounts are "one size fits all" to almost every factory crossbar.

The Yakima Universal MightyMount offers a versatile way to attach Yakima accessories to your vehicle's crossbars.
There's a reason that Yakima calls them "Universal" MightyMounts. These little marvels let you fit just about any Yakima accessory to your factory roof rack bars. A set of them is mighty nice to have. Soft, grippy Dynaflex™ pads protect your crossbars and hold the Mighty Mounts firmly in place. Universal design lets you move your racks and accessories from vehicle to vehicle with no hassle. Sold in a set of four, no tools required for assembly. The Accessory Lock Housings and SKS Lock Cores add additional security (sold separately).

The Yakima Universal MightyMounts turn your car's existing factory racks into one's that can carry most all of the accessories Yakima makes. Guess that is why they are called "Universal".
With dynaflex padded bails that provide protection and grip, the mounts will make your factory rack a one size fits all, and if you use the Accessory Lock Housing and SKS Cores (Sold Separately) you can add more security.
Yakima Mighty Mounts allow you to attach accessories to factory crossbars.
The Yakima Universal Mighty Mount will fit almost any existing factory installed roof rack. Cars that come with factory installed luggage holders can now be fitted with Yakima accessories. Just hook up the Universal Mighty Mounts to your cross bars and then attach the Yakima accessories that suit your sport choice. You get a set of four mounts to get you out on the road.

BMW 3 Series bike roof rack can be mounted on Toyota RAV4 | |
| Rating: |  |
I just purchased a 2008 Toyota RAV4 and wanted to use the bicycle roof rack that I already owned, and was using, on my 2006 BMW 3 Series. These universal mounts worked fine on the RAV4 for my application without any drilling or other modification of my original equipment (except for easily removing the mounting brackets on the bike rack rails specific to the BMW). This saved me considerable expense by not having to purchase another bicycle roof rack specific to the Toyota. And I have the flexibility of using the same rack on both vehicles. | |

Not as easy to install as I thought | |
| Rating: | |
I purchased the universal Mighty Mount package thinking that it might be an affordable way to use my old Yakima racks.(1994) The tool provided did not fit the nuts that are required for installation. The directions are a little vague on how to mount the ski racks once the mounts are attached to the vehicle. (It doesn't state any instructions) I went to the website for help, but no luck. I had to use my own parts to attach the ski rack to the mounts because my rack has these large wing-type nuts that aren't compatible with the Mighty Mounts (no clearance) | |

Functional, but not confidence-inspiring | |
| Rating: |  |
I would have said 3 stars for "adequate" but they get a "pretty cool" rating because they do attach to nearly any crossbar. I attached my Yakima Raptor bike holder with the mounts, and it worked fine. However, they weren't confidence-inspiring in that they didn't fit as snuggly as factory-specific mounts. Never got that death grip on the crossbar I was hoping for. Still, I drove over 500 miles, most of which at 80mph, with a 30lbs Niner on the roof and everything stayed put. | |

"definately buy!" | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought these with the Powderhorn SE ski rack, and everything went together fairly easily. I found that I had to undo what I'd put together twice or so, but generally it went together and attached to my roof rack with no trouble. Very secure and well made. I haven't actually put the skis on and headed up the mountain, but, compared to another rack that I gave up even mounting to my truck, the Mighty Mounts with the rack is a great system. | |

Worth the money | |
| Rating: | |
I decided to buy the mounts despite the negative reviews I read. Assembly was a little time consuming due to height of my truck but worth the effort. I installed them on my Nissan Xterra to transport my bikes. The trip from Montréal Qc to Clearwater, FL and back went without any problems. Anyone who has concerns about the sturdiness of this product shouldn't. Driving through a tornado watch in Georgia and rain and high winds in Pennsylvania did even budge the bikes. | |

"Great great way to add yakima Racks to factory crossbars" | |
| Rating: | |
| If you are looking for a way to make Yakima products fit your factory rack these adapters work well. Get the benefit of not being required to buy an aftermarket roof rack system while at the same time take advantage of Yakima’s life time warranty. I would suggest Yakima products to anyone looking for racks or accessories in part based on their great costumer service. | |

These things are great. Once you get it on your car, it's a cinch to take on and off. | |

Great Product | |
| Rating: | |
The Universal Mighty Mounts are really great! Solidly built and easy to install with my Hully Rollers. They come with two sizes of mounts so that they will fit almost any cross bar. Once you get them set up, they are super easy to mount and remove, so you do not have to leave them on the car when you do not need them. | |

Used to mount my Yakima Crossbars | |
| Rating: | |
With a minor adjustment (different bolts) I was able to mount my Yakima crossbars to my factory racks on my Toyota Sienna Van. Now I can easily carry 2 eightteen foot canoes side by side and easily remove the crossbars when not in use. Saved my the cost of ordering four new feet to attach to the factory rack. | |

Solid as a rock | |
| Rating: | |
| The only downside of this product was that I only needed qty. 6 and they come in qty. 4 boxes so I ended up with two extra's. I was able to not only carry my wife and I's bike but also managed to clamp on my daughters as well. This is one tough clamping system. | |

Nice but with limitations!!! | |
| Rating: |  |
| I bought these to put a King Corbra bike rack on a car ... once fitted I realized that the Universal Mounts (they don't make a regular mighty mount for my car yet) are 'limited' to a 30lb bike. Downhill bikes are over 40lbs and I would think that a company like Yakima would design their products to handle today's bikes. Very Disappointed! | |

Cannot withstand wind | |
| Rating: |  |
| A severe windstorm ripped my kayak and attached hull raisers off the car. I had pulled off the road and was stationary. The tethers at bow and stern kept it from blowing away. Bolts ripped out of the glass reinforced nylon universal mighty mounts. Most disappointing was that Yakima did not answer my email inquiry on their web site. | |

mighty mount and raptor bike rack | |
| Rating: | |
Putting together this setup took hours and then it was very difficult to put bikes on top of car. Once up there they were so unstable I was unable to use the rack and had to send them back and go with a hitch mount. So disappointed! | |

"Not actually "Universalâ€\x9D You’ll need 2 sets for saddles &/or rollers." | |
| Rating: |  |
| This product is not actually universal. For Mako Saddles and Hulley Rollers (maybe others) you will need two sets of Mighty Mounts (8 total). At first I tried to make mounting plates to go from one bolt (mighty mount) to four bolts (saddles/rollers)… But I did not think it was sturdy enough. I eventually bought an extra set of Mighty Mounts; which would have been cheaper to start with. Yakima should notify their venders (like Moosejaw) that two sets of Mighty Mounts are needed for most of their other products. Not Moosejaw’s fault—they’ve been awesome. Thanks! | |

Great, but | |
| Rating: | |
They work, but anyone can unscrew them and steal the bike or ski rack they're attaching to the roof racks, thus your bike or skis! There needs to be an attachment that locks to the roof rack. | |
