All right everybody, Adam here with etrailer. We're going to be taking a look at some Yakima CoreBars. So these are going to come in a lot of different lengths. What you see right here is the 50 inch long version. We're also going to have 60, 70, and 80. Each one you can grab in a pair of two, or you can also grab each one in a single pair.
There is one kit that we put together, which is these 50 inch bars that come in a kit of three. So all just depends on your vehicle. So be sure to use our fit guide, to get the appropriate tower and the fit kit to fit your specific vehicle. We have a lot of different roof rack systems on our website, but we're really sets the CoreBar apart from most is we're going to have an aerodynamic shape. So it's going to be a definite upgrade from the round bars or the square bars.
But there are some other ones that are going to have T slots up top. This one does not. So basically with T track accessories, it's just going to make it a little bit lower on the bar. It doesn't really change a whole lot, maybe a half an inch or an inch, but every single different Yakima clamp around accessory, whether it wraps around or clamps on, it's going to work with this. That's basically what roof racks are for is to put some accessories up on top of your vehicle.
We just want to make sure we don't go over the capacity, which is 220 pounds, and they are made of steel, which really gives it that strength. Here's an example of an accessory that's going to work with this, CoreBar. It's just the Yakima JayLow, so it's just going to go around like this. And, as we start to tighten this down, it's going to get nice and secure. So if you wanted to carry a kayak, you can use this.
I really like the JayLow. You don't really have to stick with Yakima stuff. So if you have a wrap around accessory, that's another brand and that works with their Aero bars. So Aero bars are basically a pretty standard size, so it doesn't really have to be Yakima. You just want to make sure it's not a T slot accessory, because basically all Aero bars are the same. So if you already have accessories, you can use it with this. But sometimes people just like to stick with the same brands, which I don't necessarily, it doesn't really matter to me, as long as it works. Right So this is a good example of what you can do with your roof rack. And here's another example. So this is a wrap around accessory. So let me just take these little bands, and they wrap around just like that. So if you're really wanting to know if your accessory is going to work, all you got to do is just make sure that it can be used with a bar that has these measurements. So this bar, the core bar has a width of about two and three quarters of an inch. And it's about an inch thick. With the 50 inch bars, we can fit a kayak and we can also fit a bike. And I bet we can actually fit another bike on here. If we we're a little bit better with kind of shifting this around, there is a SkinnyWarrior that's going to work with this too. And it's kind of a skinny cargo basket, so we can fit a lot of stuff on here with even the smallest bar. A couple of things I would add to this setup. One, we can't lock the bars themselves to our roof, but the towers that connect to the bars can lock. They are not going to come with locking cores, but you can grab them here at etrailer. And that's just going to prevent anybody from grabbing your cool roof rack set up. But also, with the aerodynamic shape, it's going to really cut down on that wind noise. But some people think that it still is a little noisy. So we actually have some fairings that go on the front that kind of direct all of that air up and over everything. So you won't hear as much, whenever you're going down the road. So if you kind of like the CoreBars, and you're not really one of those people who have a lot of T slot accessories, I don't like T-slot accessories just because they take a little bit longer to install. I just like to have clamp around stuff, just because it's a lot simpler, quicker, to get everything moving. And you can get everything set up a little bit quicker, but if you want some T slot stuff, we do have some T slot bars. But whether you just grab two or even just three different bars, this going to be a great option for some of those rooftop tents that you guys like to buy and put on your roof. So you're not really limiting yourself at all with the CoreBars, minus the whole T slot accessory thing. But other than that, I really like the CoreBars. I like Yakima just cause it looks really good. I mean, it's all kind of matching, and it really kind of goes with the theme of the vehicle. All of them do come in black. So that is kind of the only option when it comes to color. But all in all, it looks good and it enables this vehicle to do so much more than it once could..

I want to thank the staff at eTrailer for their outstanding support. After my roof rack order got off to a shaky start the customer service staff stepped in and made it right; 100% RIGHT. I cannot thank them, and eTrailer, enough. Regarding the roof rack itself, I have now installed it and can vouch that the installation was a breeze. All parts fit and the instructions were correct. For the record, this is not my first purchase from eTrailer (I've bought hitch items from them before) and it won't be my last. They have ALWAYS given great service, their web site works, their products and descriptions are good, etc., etc. Thank you!
The roof rack has been awesome! It has been really handy to be able to attach our bike rack attachment, kayak bars or traveling cargo carrier. My only complaint is that the end caps fell off somewhere along one of our many adventures and looks a bit disheveled. Other than the appearance it has been very versatile and we love it!
I have not bought car roof racks for decades--back when there were those very useful rain gutters. So I was shocked with the high prices. But what you get today is much more carefully engineered with a complicated construction. This Yakima version even comes with a manual 3.5 mm hex driver which turns out to be a torque wrench too. You use it 16 times, torquing to its limit, in installing the two cross rails on the four towers. Years ago you installed the towers where you wanted them on the rain gutters and adjusted the cross rails by sight. No more. You must go on line to Yakima. You must get the precisely engineered dimensions for your exact vehicle. You even adjust the towers for the roof slope and any toe-in of the roof line. Pay attention to the precise instructions. The result is very solid. I wish that I had more space between the cross rails. There is room for another 6 or 8 inches given where the door openings on my 2019 Toyota Highlander are spaced. But then the rear base clips would be different and that logistics would add yet more to the price. I am confident that I can secure a 4 X 8 sheet of plywood on the cross rails. And I will find my vehicle in the mall parking lot easier with those good looking rails. While I am happy with the end product, I wish the vendors had given more explanation of the fixed dimensions of today's installations. That would have helped make my on-line shopping less frustrating. Part of the problem is that Yakima and Thule do not provide cross rails for my LE Highlander's existing tower bases. And I could not get 60 inch cross rails on any of the versions that fit my LE's bases.
Product was packaged well, arrived in perfect condition.
Instructions easy to follow. Installation took less than (1) hour. I did it alone & I’m 76 yrs. old.
Is very sturdy. Looks good on my 5 door Subaru.
The feature that impressed me the most in dealing with your company was how I was able to track my package inside your facility with the name of the employee handling the item before it even shipped. Very organized. Would definitely recommend you to others & purchase from you again.
I ordered the wrong set up for my car, but the excellent customer service specialist set me up and expedited my roof rack that fit perfectly. I highly recommend calling and speaking with the knowledgeable staff about your needs. I'm super happy with the experience overall!
I'm very glad that eTrailer still has this product available, but the item pictures show the Skyline tower adapters and end caps. I thought they came with the bar. They don;t. Now I have to order them separately...
went together great! appreciate the advise, so easy!
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.
Perfect. Perfect. Easy to install and high quality. Confident in this product. Excellent instructions. Used with towers of course! Towers and crossbars have demonstrated to be strong and durable with several trips with kayaks.
Great products but even better customer service!! Cammi and Kate have always been the best in ensuring my orders get to me and the products are exactly what I need!!!!
Was skeptical at first because I needed the posts as well for my 2011 Honda Element. The Honda crossbars were not adequately weight rated and is why I opted for Yakima. Couldn't be happier with my choice as this assembly has served me well throughout the year.
E trailer is pretty much the best place to get trailer parts and then as I found out from calling Yakima rack parts also
Great price, best service out there. I tell everybody to check here before buying. Super fast delivery.

Super easy replacement and perfect fit. Highly recommend. Thanks
First off, when I'm looking for something for my car, truck or camper, etrailer is my 1st online stop. Their pricing is highly competitive and their service is tops. Finding and ordering the Malone big foot was no exception. Ordering was a breeze and communication about my order was very prompt. The product itself is perfect. It installed on my Yakima corebars in minutes, fits perfectly and seems to be of the highest quality. I purchased this product for hauling ladders, lumber and any number of long loads that need to be stable.
