Extremely quiet, aerodynamic crossbars attach to Yakima towers to create a stylish roof rack for your vehicle. Rubber strips in T-slots push down to load carriers or accessories - no need to trim. Full-length aluminum bars maximize carrying capacity.
Features:
Specs:
The quiet and aerodynamic Yakima JetStream crossbars let you build a custom 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. SmartFill strips push down for easy loading in the T-slots so there's no need to trim them. The bars are constructed of aluminum so they're durable and won't rust.
Aerodynamic JetFlow Design
The JetStream's asymmetrical JetFlow shape and built-in WindRidge helps to control air flow over and under the bar. This dramatically reduces wind noise and vibration - even at highway speeds - and eliminates the need to add a fairing to your roof rack. The aero-style bar also reduces drag to help maintain fuel efficiency.
Strong, Durable Construction
The JetStream crossbars are made of anodized aluminum with internal JetTruss extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without significantly increasing their weight. Additionally, because the bars are aluminum and have a black powder coat finish, they won't rust or corrode so you can leave them on your roof year-round.
Hassle-Free Installation
Each JetStream crossbar has a bottom channel that allows you to mount it to any of the Yakima StreamLine towers - BaseLine, RidgeLine, SkyLine, or TimberLine. The rubber strip in the channel can be cut down to the exact size needed for installation and then re-installed in the channel. This helps keep dirt out of the bar and reduces wind noise.
Etched measurements along the bottom channel help you center the bar on your roof. Simply use the ruler on each end of the bar to ensure the towers are spaced properly in the channel.
Once you have the correct measurements, install the brackets in the bottom channel, set the bar on top of your towers, and tighten it in place with the torque tool (included with your towers).
Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories
JetStream crossbars have built-in top channels that allow you to carry channel-mounted accessories on your roof. Simply push down on the rubber SmartFill strips and slide your gear into the channel - no need to remove or cut the strip.
You can also attach most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers to the bars.
Maximum Cargo Carrying Capacity
The JetStream is a full-length crossbar that extends past your Yakima towers. The increased length gives you more space to mount accessories and carriers to your roof rack.
Heavy-duty towers let you safely mount 2 Yakima crossbars to a vehicle with fixed mounting points, flush side rails, or a track system. Tower pitch adjusts to create a level roof rack on curved roofs. Includes torque tool for worry-free installation.
Features:
Specs:
The heavy-duty SkyLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima crossbars to your vehicle with fixed mounting points, flush side rails, or tracks. The towers adjust during installation to ensure your crossbars are level. The SkyLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars. The towers install with Yakima's Landing Pad system .
Versatile BarBed
The SkyLine's BarBed is specifically designed to work with Yakima's entire line of crossbars.
The BarBed is curved to accommodate the elliptical shape of the CoreBar and JetStream crossbar. The CoreBar includes brackets that slide over the bar and secure to the towers with bolts. The JetStream attaches directly to the tower with bolts.
The towers also work with Yakima RoundBars with adapters . The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.
The crossbars mount to the SkyLine towers with the included torque tool. The tool clicks 3 times once you've reached the correct amount of torque so you don't have to worry about over- or under-tightening.
Simple Installation with Landing Pads
The towers install with custom-fit Landing Pads . To mount a tower simply open the cover, set the tower on the Landing Pad, and close the cover.
Mounting posts on the bottom of the tower extend when the cover is closed to lock the tower in place on the Landing Pad.
Each tower's pitch can be adjusted up to 6 degrees forward or backward during installation. This lets you create a level mounting surface for your gear even on a curved roof. Simply loosen the bolt near the top of the tower assembly, adjust the position of your bar, and then re-tighten the bolt.
Same Key System Locks
SkyLine towers are compatible with Yakima SKS lock cores (Y07204 - sold separately) that allow you to secure the roof rack to your roof. The SKS locks are all keyed alike so a single key opens all the locks. The locks can also be swapped out to make all of your Yakima products keyed alike.
Custom-fit Landing Pads allow you to attach SkyLine and Control Towers to vehicles with fixed factory install points. Mount to existing tracks and combine with SkyLine and Control Towers to create a base for an aftermarket roof-rack system.

Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze. For the money I wish they came with the core locks.
These crossbars were easy to install and adjust. Be sure to get all the pieces you need. There is no mention of the Landing Pads necessary to use these.
The JetStream crossbars are awesome. Unfortunately the box that these came ' in was damaged, and when I opened it both crossbars had scratches. It is only cosmetic, but when you pay top dollars for a good product you expect that it will be well packaged so is not damaged when shipped. If it wasn’t for the damaged packaging and scratches I would give it 5 starts.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
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.
These bars are the cats meow! Love the look of an aircraft wing. Easily supported our 2 kayaks.
Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.
Parts arrived as advertised for the model
Car so happy to find the right fit
But super pricy for some plastic.
You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks
At first, a little tricky to install, as the kit comes with hardware for a variety of applications (different length/size bolts, etc). But after a quick look at the directions and identifying which bolt to use for my car, install was a breeze. I love this Yakima setup because I can remove the bars/towers and leave the landing pads with a cap. Makes it great for taking the canoe out on weekend trips, but not taking the fuel-economy hit during the weekday commute to work.
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.

No questions or comments. They are on my wifes Forester and she lovesthem.
First trip with the new rail system and it looks like it worked out just fine. Thanks to both of you and Kimberly for all of your help and follow up I do appreciate it.
Great company. Fast delivery.
We purchased the Yakima Skyline Towers roof rack with the Jet Stream crossbars. Took about 2 hours to install on the naked roof of our Flex. I drilled through the roof strip for the mounting bolts and they fit tighter than the factory rails. Very happy with our choice.
These load bars are GREAT! I specifically bought these because they can comfortably handle any kind of sheet goods, including baltic birch plywood which comes in 5'x5' panels; it's much easier to securely strap down plywood when it's not hanging off the ends of the load bars.
These extruded aluminum bars are light enough that they're not a hassle to install and remove - I only put them on briefly when I need them, so I've had them on and off a dozen or so times and it's easily a one-person task.
They are of course very long, so I can't deny that there's more opportunity to bang your head on them when getting in/out of the car, but they are no wider than the footprint of the car (Subaru Outback) itself so they're not at risk of hitting a pedestrian or anything.
These really look so much better then the factory racks! Easy to install. Easy to order! Great product!
No complaints! Fits seamlessly with the towers and super easy to remove and replace the bars!

Still working great! The Landing Pads havent budged, and weve since added a Rocketbock, which probably puts more stress on the landing pads, but still no movement.
I got my new landing pads the day they said it would arrive. The pads were in their original yakima packaging, properly packed and overboxed. I work for a logistics company so I know the importance of getting product to a customer on time and exceeding their expectations. Very well done etrailer.com! The landing pads is just part of what I needed, and with the discount code included for my next purchase, I will be back. Thanks again.
Simple installation to vehicle with supplied hardware and tools. Once these bases are installed to the vehicle, it is simple for a single person to install and remove crossbars and towers in just a couple of minutes.
Yakima Roof Rack for BMWI ordered a yakima roof rack for my BMW during the mad rush of Christmas shopping and have received everything need for the assembly in a very short amount of time. I have even received follow up emails telling me the status of the shipping as well as a courtesy email. I also found that etrailer.com is also much cheaper than other retail stores such as REI. I highly recommend using etrailer.com!
Fit my nissan nv200 no problem. Comes with different size and length bolts to fit multible vehicles. Directions did tell me to use different size bolts thay clearly were the wrong ones but it was easy to figure it out. Also: u need all 3 products to complete ur roof rack system.
A rack for Porsches for lessFor those Porsche owners put off by the price of the Porsche Roof Transport System, try Yakima. For significantly less, you get a solid rack which uses your Porsche mounting points and since it is a component system, it fits both Caymans and Carreras.
My roof rack arrived as promised and in good condition. Your web site was very useful in instructing the installation and how the parts matched with my other accessories. I did have a struggle lining up the screw holes, but with patience I succeeded.

After a year, the landing pads look like new and have worked out spectacularly. Ive tested the pads on/off the car, and they havent affected fuel economy aero drag at all, so I just leave them on. Id highly recommend these, and I appreciate etrailers video tutorial before I purchased the product!
