Yakima CoreBar

The aerodynamic Yakima CoreBars let you build a quiet yet heavy-duty roof rack for your vehicle. The crossbars require 4 Yakima BaseLine, RidgeLine, SkyLine, or TimberLine towers and a custom fit kit to mount the rack to your roof. Each bar extends past the towers to maximize space for mounting carriers and accessories. The bars are constructed of galvanized steel so they can carry more weight than traditional aluminum aero bars. And they're coated in black vinyl to help prevent corrosion.


Aerodynamic Design

CoreBar TearDrop Design

The CoreBar's teardrop shape controls air flow over and under the bar to significantly decrease wind noise and vibration even at highway speeds. This lessens the need to add a fairing to your roof rack. The aero-style bar also reduces drag to help maintain fuel efficiency.


Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

CoreBar Galvanized Steel Construction

The Yakima CoreBar is constructed of roll-formed, galvanized steel. This heavy-duty steel construction enables the CoreBars to carry significantly more weight than traditional aluminum aero bars (up to 220 lbs depending on the weight capacity of your roof). The bars are also coated in black vinyl to protect them from corrosion.


Hassle-Free Installation

CoreBar with Adapater

The CoreBars install on any of Yakima's StreamLine towers - BaseLine, RidgeLine, SkyLine, or TimberLine - with included brackets. Just remove the endcaps, slide the brackets onto the bars, and replace the endcaps. Then place the bars on your towers with the brackets seated in the tower BarBeds. Use the torque tool included with the towers to tighten the bars in place.


Maximum Cargo Carrying Capacity

Full Length Corebar Crossbar

The full-length CoreBar extends past your towers to provide more space for mounting carriers and accessories on your roof. The CoreBar is also compatible with most universal, clamp-on carriers and accessories.

I've just recently installed this setup on my 2015 Toyota Camry.

etrailer - Shopping for this rack was fairly simple, and the shipping from etrailer was quick and reliable. I received the rack in 2 different shipments but they both arrived at the same time. etrailer made sure the all the contents were available. They also have several resourceful videos on their YouTube page, which was helpful while shopping for the rack and during a few trouble shooting items while I was installing.

Yakima Core Bar - Overall a quality product. Everything necessary was supplied, including a handy measuring tape and some very well written instructions. The fit is clean and very sturdy. The only qualm I have is that the hex hole in the large anchor bolts are a bit larger than the supplied hex driver. Toward the end of the installation, the tool was worn and ended up turning inside the bolt itself (not due to over torquing whatsoever). I ended up having to use a hex set I had in my toolbox to complete the installation because the provided tool was starting to strip out the anchor bolt. With that said, the kit is still a great kit that meets my expectations.

Wind noise is quieter than my OEM VW bars on my 2017 Volkswagen GTI. It's noticeable, but nothing extreme - I believe that's just the price you pay when adding crossbars to a vehicle.

Verdict - etrailer has definitely met my expectations, and the Yakima kit provided is a well designed kit that fits well!

From start to finish, the folks at etrailer -- and I spoke to several people there, so it was a consistent corporate vibe -- were fantastic to deal with.

There were delays in getting my product that were on the supplier side and out of etrailer's control, yet etrailer folks kept me up to date and also worked on a customized solution.

My goal was to be able to carry my surfboard on the roof of our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe to the beach more than 3 hours away. But the particular model we had had no existing racks, no recessed areas, nothing to fix racks to. Not even the dealer had a solution. I was sh*t out of luck.

But etrailer hooked me up. The racks did take me a while to put on, but most of that time was fine tuning to reduce “hum” while driving. I’m very happy with them.

Thanks to etrailer, I have gone surfing and can go surfing whenever I'd like to.

2016 Subaru Forester

Very good product. The Yakama towers and cross bars feel very solid and appears to be high quality. Very easy install. Others have complained about the instructions, but guess I'm a visual person because the pictures all seemed very clear to me and the install was very easy. They do sit higher than I expected. After adding a Rhino Rack cargo basket, we only have about 4-5" clearance below the garage door.

Honda Ridgeline

These crossbars feel like they are well made and sturdy. It took less than 30 minutes to install with the Ridgeline Towers. I love the look of the bars! Can't wait to load the Kayaks up and get out on the water.

2015 Toyota 4Runner

Timely delivery of my order, as usual! Easy to install on my 2015 4Runner. After I had the mounts ready and put on both bars, I installed the front one and fine-tuned it, the second took even less time then. I now have the ability to carry up to 3 kayaks, perfect! etrailer is a great company!

My experience with etrailer has been excellent. There was going to be a potential delay in one of the products, but their customer service promptly informed me, half the price of some of their competitors so can't really complain. In the end they got the part ahead of schedule and was able to ship in a timely manner. I will definitely keep them in mind for future purchases.



by: Laura 04/01/2024

As described! Quick delivery!



by: Rafael07/03/2020

Roof rack fits and works as advertised. Over the phone customer support for sales and install directions were very helpful and thorough. Geoff is an excellent brand ambassador who goes above and beyond to fulfill customer expectations. I will definitely be shopping at etrailer for my future vehicle needs. Well done!

Very sturdy, well made. The assembly instructions are not too good but if you call Yakima they will provide additional instructions.

I wanted to let you know the end caps are replaceable. They are part # 8880640 on our site.



by: Alex11/05/2018

Customer service was excellent, they called me to tell me one item was backordered and how long it would be. Package was shipped with enough packing material. Install was pretty easy, some of the Yakima measurements in the manual are a couple inches off but no big deal. This will be used to carry a box for when the family takes trips. Can pile all the luggage up top and have more room in the car. I would recommend the Yakima corebar roof rack and etrailer! Their price was lower than 2 other sites I checked.

2017 Ford Edge

Very happy with the Yakima roof top rack kit for my 2017 Ford Edge with glass roof. The instructions were a little confusing at first, but after reading through them a couple of times while working with the product they became much clearer. The Yakima fit site was helpful as well. After the initial cross bar mounting measurements and set up, attaching and detaching the racks from the roof is a very simple process.

Honda

Great product and Sales Support from etrailer.
I bought this for my Son as a Grad/BDay gift for a Honda HR-V which has slightly odd roof/door shape
He installed it himself said the install was straightforward but the instructions could use a little improvement.
etrailer Sales Support was great, I was a little concerned about getting the right parts and the return policy. Olivia was great to work with, she offered recommendations and matched the parts to the type and vehicle it was to be installed on along with a kayak mount.
All the parts arrived in mint condition with no missing pieces.
I'll for sure return to etrailer on future purchases.



by: Diane04/11/2021

Wonderful service from Kimberly at etrailer.com. I had ordered a roof rack in December for I car I had on order. Ultimately I purchased a different vehicle more than 3 months later and the roof rack and mounting parts were not compatible. I had no problem returning the unopened products and just needed to pay the postage. Kimberly made the process easy and seamless, making sure to send the new Yakama cross bars and necessary parts. It fits beautifully on my new car and setup was fairly simple with video support and step-by-step instructions.

2004 Toyota Camry

I have a 2004 Toyota Camry, my purpose is to purchase this Yakima Baseline System for Rooftop tent. My 23Zero rooftop tent weighs 130 lb, so far it's super solid. I did some minor adjustments based on the shape and level of the roof when mounting it.



by: Emma S.06/27/2020

I am thrilled this got delivered sooner than anticipated! It was quite easy to install once you started actually putting it together and measuring everything out. I like that this can easily be removed and installed onto the vehicle.



by: Andy07/27/2020

Great product! Relatively easy install, had the racks on for a few days now with no issues.

The cross bars come with the items needed to install them on the mounts. Easy installation and the best part is they don't add much wind noise even at freeway speeds. I've only had them on the car for a day so I'm looking forward to putting them to use

by: Steven06/10/2020

The rack looks to be excellent. The assembly is a nightmare. The instructions are terrible. The design for assembly is flawed. There is a stupid cover over the main bolt that you have to tighten. There is a video on Yakima’s website that kind of tells you how to get around it but not really. A 30 minute job took two hours.

Very solid roof rack solution but the wind noise is mind-numbing. Ugh.

Do you have a question about this Roof Rack?


  • Should Sunroof of 2015 VW Golf SportWagen Open with Yakima Corebar Rack Installed
  • Yakima recommends keeping your sunroof closed when the CoreBar roof rack part numbers # Y00421 and # Y33TR is installed. This will prevent interference and also hearing the increased wind noise that a roof rack creates. Any standard kayak carrier would fit on this rack as long as it was designed to fit aero shaped bars like the Thule # TH834.

  • Best Way To Carry a Bike by the Forks on a 2016 Mini Cooper
  • For your two door 2016 Mini Cooper with flush mounted factory side rails, I recommend using the Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System which is composed of part # Y00421 for the bars, part # Y00145 for the feet, and part # Y06009 for the fit kit. This system features aero shaped crossbars which reduce wind drag and noise. The mounting feet and crossbars can be be secured to the roof using locks like part # Y07204. In order to carry your bike with the forks down, I recommend the Yakima ForkLift

  • Recommended Yakima Roof Rack for 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I'm glad to hear you had a good owner experience with your last Yakima roof rack and I am happy to help you with a new one for your 2019 Outback Wagon non-Touring edition. My favorite Yakima roof rack is their black Jetstream aero-style bar roof rack. This system consists of parts # Y00425, # Y53TR and # Y00241. The black crossbars lend a clean OEM-like appearance and they will be much quieter than basic round Yakima bars (or any other bar shape for that matter) since their design allows

  • Recommended Yakima Crossbars for 2016 Maza CX-5
  • Both the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and CoreBar Crossbars # Y00421 are great aero-style bars that are confirmed to work with TimberLine Towers # Y33TR on your 2016 Mazda CX-5. These are two very similar crossbar designs, and partly because of this, I recommend going with the more economically priced CoreBars # Y00421. The aerodynamic design and teardrop shape on these bars will help to create a quiet roof rack system and reduce wind drag to maintain fuel efficiency. As

  • Parts Needed to Carry 2 Kayaks on the Roof of a 2018 Toyota Prius
  • To start, I recommend making sure the roof of your 2018 Toyota Prius can handle the weight of your kayaks. Depending on the type of kayak since some can be pretty heavy you could end up overloading your car. Once you've figured that out you're going to need a complete roof rack with crossbars. Along with a carrier to go on the crossbars to hold the kayaks. The roof rack I recommend is the Yakima CoreBar system. You need the CoreBar crossbars, part # Y00421, the BaseLine towers, part

  • What Roof Rack Do You Recommend For My 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  • We do have a roof rack that will fit your 2017 Chevrolet Cruze. The roof rack will be slightly different depending on if you have the hatchback or the sedan. If you have the sedan, my roof rack recommendation will consist of the following: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00421, BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR, BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2, part # Y06137, BaseClip Fit Kit

  • Roof Rack System to Carry a Bike and Kayak on a 2002 Honda Civic
  • For your 2002 Honda Civic, I recommend using the Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System composed of part # Y00421, part # Y28TR, part # Y06162, and part # Y06159. The Yakima CoreBars offer a sleek and aerodynamic look which will reduce wind noise and prevent drag. The BaseLine towers are contoured to the roof of your vehicle and can be adjusted to provide a level crossbar surface. For a bike rack that will work well with the above crossbars, I recommend the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack part

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford Edge with Glass Roof
  • We have a Yakima roof rack that is confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Ford Edge with a panoramic glass roof, but I checked with Thule and they stopped making the fit kit that was designed for your vehicle configuration. The Yakima parts you would need are part # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06102, and # Y06139. This will give you a roof rack with aero shaped bars that will be better on fuel mileage and wind noise. The install video link I attaches shows this rack installed on an Edge very similar

  • Can Yakima CoreBar Crossbars Be Cut To Desired Length
  • The Timberline is actually the towers # Y33TR, so you will either have the CoreBar crossbars # Y00421 or the JetStream # Y00426. You can trim these bars to a shorter length and I do recommend using a new hack saw blade to do so. The aluminum crossbar will cut easily so you will want to make sure you have a very straight cut and take it slow or you would easily mar your bars. Make sure you double check your fit before making any cuts.

  • Roof Rack for 2015 Ford Edge with Naked Roof Where Crossbars Could be Reused on Different Vehicle
  • The Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06102, and # Y06139 that you referenced will give you a roof rack that will allow you to reuse the crossbars but due to the different roof style between the 2015 Ford Edge and the Chevy Equinox that would be the only portion of the rack that would fit both vehicles.

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Canoe Carrier For 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • If you have a roof rack system on your Outback and is not the Sport model, the roof rack I recommend is the Yakima CoreBar roof rack. You would need to remove your roof rack and use the fixed mounting points on your roof. The 50-inch aero-style crossbars design helps reduce wind noise and drag and helps keep the roof rack quieter. For this roof rack you will need part # Y00421, part # Y53TR, and part # Y00241. For longer crossbars, you can take a look at part # Y00422 for 60-inch, and

  • Roof Rack Compatibility On A 2016 Ford Edge With Naked Roof
  • I do have a roof rack option for you, however Thule does not currently make a roof rack system for your 2016 Ford Edge with existing naked roof. In order to attach a roof rack to your vehicle you may want to consider the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars Roof Rack park # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06102, and # Y06139. It has an aero style crossbar setup to ensure a quiet ride. I have attached an installation video for you.

  • What do I Need to Mount the CoreBar Crossbars # Y00421 to My Flush Rails on My 2017 Honda CR-V?
  • Yes! As long as you have the exact same OEM flush rails that come with 2017 Honda CR-Vs that have the flush rail option from the factory, you can use the Yakima SkyLine Towers # Y53TR with your CoreBars # Y00421. In addition to these parts, you also need the Landing Pad 19 # Y00245 in order to mount the towers to the fixed mounting points in your rails. If you need the peace of mind of adding locks to the setup, those are the Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204. These lock your crossbar

  • Rack for Rooftop Tent with Tonneau Cover for 2017 Toyota Tacoma
  • The best way to mount a roof-top tent to your 2017 Toyota Tacoma with a Truxedo LoPro tonneau cover is using a roof rack like Yakima's CoreBar Crossbars Roof Rack System: # Y00421, # Y28TR, # Y06145, # Y06128. With the way your tonneau cover secures to your bed and the lack of stake-pockets on the Tacoma there isn't a ladder rack available for your Tacoma that works together with your tonneau. I like the CoreBar system because it has a high capacity and it looks good. One thing

The Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, SUP, and Canoe Carrier with Tie Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading, part # MAL38FR, can hold two kayaks on the roof of your 2021 Nissan Murano.

  • Can Yakima Core Bar Roof Rack Crossbars Y00421 Be Cut Down in Length
  • Yakima's Core Bar roof rack crossbars # Y00421 can be cut to a specific length so long as you can make clean square cuts to allow re-installation of the bar end caps. You will probably also need to file the cuts to make them smooth and safe for handling. The Yakima roof racks confirmed to fit your 2018 Toyota RAV4 are shown on the page I linked for you. These racks use bar lengths of 48 or 50-inches.

  • By 'gap', I'm assuming you're meaning the T-slot or groove in the top of the crossbar that allows certain roof rack accessories to install, rather than clamping around the crossbar, is that correct? If that's the case, I'd recommend a Yakima JetStream roof rack, which would be assembled from the following parts: • Yakima JetStream 50 inch crossbars in silver as part # Y00425 for black • Yakima BaseLine towers, part # Y28TR • Vehicle Specific fit clips # Y06123 • Vehicle Specific

If your GMC Terrain has a naked roof (no existing rails or crossbars), then I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Roof Rack System. This consists of # Y00421 for the two 50 inch aero-style crossbars, # Y28TR for the BaseLine Towers, # Y03536 for the RoundBar SL Adapter and # Y06146 for the BaseClip Fit Kit. This will provide

With that being said, your only option is to upgrade your roof rack to a newer system like the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00421, with the SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR and the Landing Pad 11 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00233.
