The Yakima SkyLine FX keeps things neat with its flush design that hugs the roofline. The bars don’t stick out past the towers, giving a clean, factory-style look that blends right in. It’s a simple way to carry your gear without making the setup look bulky or out of place.
Long drives with a roof rack can get noisy, but the aerodynamic shape of the SkyLine FX helps keep things quiet. The push-down rubber strips in the top channels fill gaps that would otherwise catch air and vibrate. That means less whistling and wind noise when you’re cruising down the highway with your kayak or cargo box on top.
These crossbars are ready for all kinds of adventures. Whether you’re carrying bikes, watersport gear, skis, or a rooftop cargo box, the SkyLine FX works with most channel-mount and clamp-on attachments. You can swap setups depending on the season without needing new bars each time.
The SkyLine FX is built as a combined system where the towers and bars come together in one streamlined unit. It attaches directly to fixed mounting points for a solid connection every time. Once installed, it feels sturdy and secure—ready for hauling up to 165 lbs (always check your vehicle’s maximum roof load).
You can upgrade this setup with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). With locks in place, both the rack and your channel-mounted accessories get an extra layer of theft deterrence—perfect for when you leave your gear loaded overnight or parked at a trailhead.

Excellent customer service! I felt like I had a personal shopper in the care Sherry S. offered!
Great product. Easy to install. Arrived quickly.
Yakima Towers and Pads arrived on time and all in order. Service was extremely fast and the price was better than every other site I looked through.
I like the strength of the Yakima brand and it looks great. It does seem a bit more complicated than might be necessary. I know they have to fit to many different cars but the matching of components is confusing and the installation less than intuitive. The end result is great and etrailers is awesome in every way!
In the confusing world of roof racks, the etrailor site had a locator tool that made it easy to identify the correct landing pads and towers for my vehicle.
Yakima racks are always a good choice. Etrailer made it easy for me to know all the parts I needed and it was so easy to install!
I have a Buick Envision and it seemed as if it would be difficult to get the correct rack, but it turned out to be easy. I entered my vehicle info and was directed to the Yakima Skyline with flush rails. It was easy to install and they look great. I will be able to take my canoe out with no problem! Joe
Yakima Landing pads are vehicle specific. Good quality mounts are supplied with good stainless steel fasteners. Required as a base for the towers.
I love the ease of removing my crossbars at the end of the season with these landing pads. Highly recommend these.
Exactly what we needed to use our old Yakima bars and kayak sharks with our new Ford Explorer. Our old car, a Ford Expedition, used the same round Yakima bars and kayak sharks but had a different roof rack. Instead of paying $800+ to get a whole new kayak rack system... the adapters we got from etrailer helped us used all the old equipment :)
I had cross bars and landing pads on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought these to put on my wife’s new Grand Cherokee L. They were extremely easy to install and now I can easily move the roof rails between the two vehicles. They are a great product as is most of Yakima’s products. I highly recommend them.
Came quickly, and I appreciate the free shipping – which is why I went with etrailer instead of ordering directly from Yakima.
All worked as described. Installation was easy and quick.
Dont waste your on cheaper products, it will bite you eventually
Makes for easy and secure crossbar on/off. Covers stay on during car washes.
Easy website, fast shipping, quality pr oducts
My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee used landing pads 18 to mount to the roof my newer 2023 JGC uses landing pad 19. I was able to change the pads thanks to etrailer and install my older roof rack on my newer Jeep. I love that the majority of my roof rack is upgrade-able.
These landing pads allow for the quickest and easiest install and removal of cross bars. This will be the only ones I use going forward.
I have these installed on a 2022 Honda Pilot. I could not get them to fit on my raised roof rails with the included rubber gaskets. I have mounted them without the gasket but this leaves a gap between the rail and the landing pad. This seems secure but does not have a finished look. I will be trying to see how to get the gaskets to fit.

You definitely want to use the gaskets and I dont recommend using the crossbars without them. Here is an install video that might help you out with this part. Let us know if you still some assistance after watching.

The rack base has worked perfectly. I took my Yakima rack off my Tacoma and transferred it to a Honda Pilot and eTrailer had the correct bracket.
