These crossbars combine the strength of steel with an aerodynamic shape to create a heavy-duty yet quiet roof rack for your vehicle. Full-length bars maximize cargo carrying capacity and work with most clamp-on accessories.

Specs:
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 (sold separately) 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
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
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
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
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.

Ratings & Reviews
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...
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
Bought the rack kit for my truck a the fit was great
Ed was very helpful got everything ordered showed up a day early installed them great quality and looks very happy with this product
as always with e trailer a great job in getting the things I order a little slow this time and on another order I placed but I think that was because of availability. I recommend them highly.
Quiet, heavy duty and looks great! Would definitely buy again and definitely from etrailer! Great customer service!
etrailer did an amazing job of having their collective together with regards to my latest order for a roof top rack. First of all, when you go to one these manufacturer websites, either thule, or Yakima, you realize just how complicated this task can be. etrailer does all of that for you. Package arrived earlier than expected and everything was correct the first time. I installed the product myself in under an hour. Done, Done, and Done.
thanks etrailer
went together great! appreciate the advise, so easy!
