Perfect fit! Who’s recommend and repurchase if I need for another vehicle

Got me just what I needed and fast! Thank you’

The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. They provided a nice, flush finish and hold the racks down tight.

Hyundai Sonata - glass pano roof. These items have been on for about 1-year. So happy with the set up. I’ve take a road bike and a mountain bike on 500+ mile trips. The mounts do an excellent job.



by:

I ordered the Yakima "aero" bars , baseline towers, and BaseClip kits for my 2019 Honda Civic 5 door. While expensive the quality is excellent and it was a pleasure to assemble such a high quality and precision engineered product. It fits perfectly on my new car and the "aero" bars are quiet even at freeway speeds. Highly recommended.



by:

Great service from my knowledgeable salesperson and the product installed easily and performs perfectly.



by:

The racks are easy to remove and reinstall once they are set up. My only complaint is that Yakama only seems to make the base clips in one length. This limits the distance that I can separate the bars to 32 inches. They don't reach under the door sill if I move them further back. If they stamped them out in a few different lengths one would have more options in terms of distance between the bars.



by:

3 years ago etrailer helped me to fit Yakima racks on my Honda Accord so that I could carry my kayake.
I got a new Honda Accord this year and only had to replace the baseline towers and can still use the other parts.
It was pretty easy to install with good directions.



by:

I ordered these as part of a complete roof rack kayak carrier system. Everything else was great, but this box arrived (within a larger box with other components) somewhat battered, and obviously re-taped shut.

Clearly, it was a return, and it never been inspected. Pieces of the baseclip components were missing from the box.

I contacted etrailer, and it took about 20+ minutes to arrange shipment of a new set, even after having sent several images of the box and incomplete product.

They sent a replacement, which arrived a few days later. But I purchased and paid for brand new products, and was VERY disappointed to receive a returned, incomplete set.



by:

Excellent fit and held solid on my '23 Ford Maverick pick-up for the entire canoeing season. When removed this Fall there was no sign they were ever there.



by:

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.

I have a 10th gen Civic sedan and I was dying to get the perfect roof rack set for my car. At the time of my purchase there was not many visuals of what the rack system looked like on this car.

I purchased the:

•Yakima 50in Jetstream crossbars
•Yakima baseline towers
•bc182 & bc183 clips
•Yakima 46in fairing

Overall I love how it looks on my car! During This COVID pandemic I have been camping more, and this is the perfect foundation! First off, the 46in fairing is the perfect fit for the 10th gen civic! Wind noise is low also with the help of the aerodynamic crossbars. My main concern was the fuel efficiency. On long road trips I still average 38-40 mpg with the rack on. My daily commutes I average 34 mpg without Econ on.



by:

Now that was fast, the go to place to find unique, hard to get and out of stock items for your RV, Camping and Trailering needs. Awesome service and work everyone.



by:

It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service



by:

I'm a repeat customer at etrailer several times now, and with good reason. They have provided what I needed in terms of both product and assistance reliably and promptly. The best online supplier I have found.



by:

The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.



by:

Rack is still on the car one year later. Yakima doesn’t have a replacement cover for the tower, which is flimsy.



by:

I was able to use these clips to mount a roof rack and roof box on my Audi that had a naked roof, and they did the job! I took it on a 1,200 mile road trip and after I returned there wasn’t any damage to the paint, and even though there are rubber inserts on the inside of the clip to prevent scratches I was still a bit surprised.

If you don’t have roof rails on your car, these definitely help!

I was converting a roof rack from my Jeep Cherokee (factory rails) to my RAM 2500 truck (naked roof). While I could use my old Jetstream crossbars, I needed new towers and clips for the truck. There was an error in my original order, the representative thought she was sending me two pairs of clips. I understand the mixup because the Clip box said two meaning 2 clips rather than two pair. etrailer sent another pair immediately and waived the shipping. I like customer service is available and knowledgable. I would give them a five if they hadn't mixed up the first order.

Excellent

Not a good fit

If you are not confident with the rack I can see if there is a better fitting roof rack for your 2013 F-150. Do you have a Regular, Super, or SuperCrew Cab?

Thanks for reaching out. I already purchased what I needed to mount it directly on the roof. Much happier with this solution.



by:

Awesome price! Shipped to me fast and it's an amazing product. Customer service helped me through some ordering confusion and got everything figured out very smoothly. Love the roof rack!



by:

I though I would love the core bar set up on my truck but I have really grown to love them! Weather it’s bikes, kayaks or a ladder it works great! And even better it looks great! Quieter than Thule square bars and Yakima round bars by far. I would not only buy again but one of the bars was damaged in shipment and etrailer took care of it by sending a new one to replace it right away. Will be buying from them again! Good customer service!!!!

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Two Kayaks for a 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew
    The Yakima Jetstream Crossbar System part # Y00426, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06168 is my favorite option for a 2012 Ford F-150 Super Crew and what I recommend. In regards to fit, Yakima and Thule have the best fitting options on the market so I would have absolutely zero concerns with safety/security. If I were going to place expensive items on the roof these are the roof racks I would use without a doubt as they both have a longstanding reputation for quality and longevity. The system...

  • Yakima JetStream Crossbar Roof Rack for 2012 Ford F-150
    To install your existing Yakima JetStream Crossbars like the 60" # Y00426 (which is the length recommended for your truck) on your 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew you will need the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and the BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06168. It looks like the Towers and Fit Kit that you mentioned are for later model year Ford trucks. I have attached a short video review on this setup below that you can check out as well.

  • Single Crossbar Recommendation for 2014 Ford F-150 Crew Cab
    For a single crossbar on your 2014 Ford F-150 Crew Cab, I recommend the Yakima BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06168, BaseLine towers # Y62TR, and Jetstream Crossbar # 8880649. I also recommend the locks # Y07202 for security.

  • Can a 72" Thule Wing Bar Crossbar Be Mounted To Roof Of a 2012 Ford F-150 Extended Cab?
    As Thule does not show they have a roof rack confirmed to fit the naked roof on your 2012 Ford F-150 extended cab it appears you are going to have to go with a Yakima roof rack. We have their 70" Crossbars # Y00427 you can install with the Towers # Y28TR and 2 of their Fit Kits # Y06168.

  • Roof Rack for 2011 Ford F-150 to Carry Two Thule Hullavator Kayak Carriers
    Since the max crossbar width the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 can take up is 28-1/2 inches for a roof rack that fits your 2011 Ford F-150 that would work great is the 60 inch bar width Yakima Jetstream roof rack part numbers # Y00426, # Y00146, and # Y06168 which the Hullavator can fit into the top channels of and would easily accommodate both racks. This will install on the roof of the truck though. If you'd prefer a solution for the cap let me know.

  • Recommended Base Clip Fit Kit & Crossbar Setup For A 2013 Ford F-150 Raptor
    According to Yakima, for your 20123 Ford F-150 Raptor, you're unfortunately not going to be able to use the older Q-clips. Instead, you're going to need to be using the BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06168. This fit kit is going to work great with the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR and standard crossbars like the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426. If you're able to let me know what bars you currently have, I'd be happy to find you the correct...

This roof rack includes the JetStream crossbars # Y00426, BaseLine towers # Y28TR, and fit kit # Y06168 designed for your F-150. To help cut down on the wind noise I recommend a fairing like part # Y05018. This attached to the front crossbar and has rubber bumpers that protect the truck finish.

  • Can Four Bike Racks fit Yakima Roof Rack on 2013 Ford F-150 Super Crew Cab?
    The weight capacity of the roof rack you mentioned that fits your 2013 Ford F-150 Super Crew: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars # Y00422, BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06168 (you will need a quantity of 2) has a weight capacity of 125 lbs. The determining factor in regards to capacity will be whatever is lower, the rack or the capacity of your F-150's roof.
