When you’re loading up for a long trip or carrying heavy outdoor gear, you need bars that can take the weight. These Yakima RoundBars are made from vinyl-coated, galvanized steel and have a 165-lb capacity. That solid construction gives you the backbone for your entire setup—strong enough for kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear—without flexing under load.
Rain, salt, and sun can take a toll on metal parts over time. The vinyl coating on these 48" black RoundBars helps resist corrosion, so they stay looking good and performing well after repeated use. Whether you’re hauling wet kayaks or hitting the road in winter weather, the coating keeps rust at bay and makes cleanup simple.
With tracks and Yakima SkyLine Towers, you get a strong and adjustable setup that stays put. The towers drop easily onto the Landing Pads and lock in place with a simple close of the cover—no tools needed after setup. You can adjust tower pitch up to 6 degrees forward or backward to level your bars, and the system works with RoundBar adapters so your existing accessories clamp right on.
When you’re not running a full rack, it’s nice to keep things clean. The Landing Pad 1 Fit Kit attaches to your roof tracks and includes snap-on covers that protect the connection points when the towers are off. When you’re ready to load up again, just remove the covers and drop the towers back in place—it’s quick, secure, and keeps your mounting points protected from dirt and weather.
If you want a rock-solid base for your rack system, Yakima Tracks give you that foundation. They mount permanently to your roof using PlusNut hardware (included) to create low-profile attachment points that let you fine-tune crossbar placement. The anodized aluminum build holds strong but keeps weight down, so you get durability without bulk—and easy bar adjustment whenever your hauling needs change.

As all yakima products not the cheapest but work
Honestly, I love etrailer. I love the expert help that you all provide. It's clear by the 1 year follow-ups that you care more about the relationships with your customers then just making a sale. Your service is friendly, informative and fast. I always come here first to look for my next purchase. Thanks again-Rob.
Roof rack on my 2005 Chevy Uplander. Also ordered the Q towers and fairing.
Kimberly has shown that great customer service is not dead! etrailer and Kimberly are great to work with and have earned my business and will always be the 1st and last place I look for my rack+ needs!
As for the application, I needed more space to fit my cargo box on top of my 4Runner TRD Pro’s rack. I came up this this… Thank you!
Bought as a pkg for my 2017 Golf R with Round Bars since I had a bunch of Yakima bike racks and a canoe gunwale rack for my old Yakima set up. Installation was easy with good instructions. All measurements from the Yakima site appear to be spot on.
etrailer.com shipped these out quickly and all parts arrived without damage.
Customer service was extremely helpful in finding the exact replacement parts needed for my old car!
roof racks showed up in great condition, and showed up as one package.... I should have ordered the J racks from here but I found them cheaper locally so Thule J racks compliment the whole setup and i am just about ready to hit the water :)
The Yakima roof rack system is an Outstanding product. I purchased the product to replace the OEM roof rack because it was too flimsy to carry the tandem bike mount and my bike. The Yakima roof rack is solid and provides me the peace of mind while hauling my bike on the roof of my car. etrailer provided the product for the best price as always.
Worked great! By mounting the tracks directly to the rails of my Tonneau Switchback retractable bed cover on this short bed F150 I was able to put a bike rack system using existing Yakima towers and bars. The bike rack can be moved to other Yakima systems and locations easily.
Have been rocking my Yakima rack from etrailer.com for a year now. I am using rack in conjunction with a Tepui tent. Once I added the air deflector, I would say it's the perfect setup. The Yakima gives more clearance over the factory rack, so I was able to get my hands under it to secure the tent hardware. If you're thinking of upgrading your factory rack, I would not hesitate to use etrailer.com
Roof Rack 2008 Saturn Astra The roof rack arrived one day early...The packaging was excellent and the quality of the product more than met my expectations. The instructions made the insulation very easy. It took less than 45 minutes to install the unit complete.
Fit good with the OE track on roof. I like the new covers they supplied with the mounts.
It seems like the package arrived before I ordered it. I was amazed how fast it came. Everything was there and installation instructions were complete. Excellent product, well built with a reasonable price. Don't be afraid to do it yourself.
The installation of this rack system went very well, all of the instructions were easy to read and use. I have attached some pictures of our installation. The vehicle is a 1994 Honda Accord EX four door sedan
Purchased for cab extension on F-150. Works as expected. Good price and quick shipping.
excellent and very fast service
Solid and easy to instal
I've attachec a few pictures of the Yakima rack on my Audi Q7. It took a few attempts to find the right combination of attachments, but in the end, the pin attachments work best with the access points on the factory flush-mount rails. Great product!!!!!
These convertors will allow me to continue to use my hullavator system currently on round bars. The drop in feature of skyline towers makes the whole change out a snap. Certainly better than buying a whole new hullavator.
Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.
I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.
High quality. Adapter to use modern towers with my 2003 round tube cross members.
Products great. Service and delivery from you company was not acceptable. when I placed my order you missed your delivery date by five days. Not sure how this happened, but requested help was not available.
I'm a bit disappointed in the construction of these Yakima Tracks. I previously purchased and installed on a couple of truck bed caps and they were aluminum extrusions. These are formed sheet metal with a plastic base. I used them but am not a fan of the materials now used...
etrailer rocks! Great customer service and support. All pieces worked as promised and for my vehicle.
A bit disappointed that Yakima towers do not have a height adjustment so I can make both round crossbars level to keep my canoes from catching too much air on the highway. My vehicles roof flush rails are are curved vertically and change widths front to back. Had to Mickey Mouse the back crossbar to make it higher with PVC brick moulding.
Also the tower covers with the Yakima label don't clip on strongly enough so I had to add duct tape because I did not trust them to stay on.
