Question

Question:

Will the T-nuts used in the top slot on a Thule WingBar EVO cross bar fit in the top T-slot on a Yakima JetStream cross bar? Or. is it possible to get T-nuts for a Yakima JetStream cross bars with a 6mm threaded hole? Thank you,

It truly depends on what Thule kayak carrier you wish to use on the Yakima JetStream Crossbars. For example, the Thule DockGlide # TH896 is compatible with the top slots of the JetStream crossbars without any additional nuts. I definitely recommend the DockGlide because it is a saddle-mount style that is much easier to load than the awkward positioning of j-style carriers.

In order to have a full JetStream setup of a roof rack on your 2022 Toyota Highlander, it depends on what roof type you have.

If you have a bare roof with no rails, I recommend the following setup:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long # Y00426
- BaseLine Towers # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06153
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06132
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204

If you happen to have flush rails on your Highlander, I recommend the following:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 28 # Y66VR
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204

Both of these roof racks will work great with the DockGlide. They are the exact engineered fits designed by Yakima to fit your 2022 Toyota Highlander.

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…

Hey Rick, I went through the install instructions of the Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate kit part #RM97RR and you actually trim out a whole in the shutters and reinstall them. They are not totally removed. Do you have a tow bar already?
