When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or a cargo box full of gear, you want a rack that’s not just sturdy—it’s rock solid. The Yakima SightLine Roof Rack uses heavy-duty aluminum HD crossbars that can handle up to 500 lbs when used within your vehicle’s roof load limits. The bars measure 55" long x 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall, giving you a strong, stable platform for serious loads like camping gear or multiple watercraft.
Whether it’s bikes in the summer or skis in the winter, these crossbars are ready for anything. The top channels accept channel-mount accessories while still working perfectly with clamp-on carriers. That means your favorite kayak cradle, cargo box, or fishing rod holder fits right on—no need to choose one setup over another.
Nobody likes the constant hum of wind noise on a long drive. The integrated rubberized strips in the top channels cut down on drag and help smooth airflow over the bars. This design keeps things quieter and more efficient when you’re driving to the lake or heading out for a cross-country adventure.
When you’re strapping down canoes or lumber, having built-in tie-down spots makes life easier. This rack includes integrated tie-down points on each endcap so you can quickly secure ropes or straps without extra hardware. Less hassle means more time actually getting to your destination instead of fiddling with gear.
If you’re parking at a trailhead or campsite overnight, it’s good to know your rack can stay put. The SightLine towers are compatible with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately), so you can add locks later to deter theft and keep your setup secure wherever your trip takes you.

Works well, after getting them in place. On my Kia Sorrento it's very tricky to get the towers to fit the holes in the factory rails -- takes a lot of loosening and readjusting the bars.
This product is well made and exactly what I expected
Everything was perfect and relatively easy to setup. Ì bought from etrailer due to the actual manufacturer being out of stock, I was skeptical when I ordered but very glad I did. Would 100% recommend etrailer.
These Yakima crossbars are very HD, just what I was looking for. The Small size was hard to locate but etrailer had them in stock and delivered in short order. Instillation was quick and straight forward.
I had a difficult time identifying whether these were the correct adapters for the rack towers that I was purchasing to fit my tracks but that has more to do with yakima doing everything a-la-cart instead of having kits that include everything you need if I hadn't already had the HD bars on my other rack and wanted to be able to transfer them to this rack I probably wouldn't have went to this expense because I think they are overpriced.AS far as etrailer is concerned I always receive great service and products and they are always well packaged and never damaged by poor delivery care and always fast delivery speed.
The roof rack works well. The only problem I have is noise and while I'm carrying a ladder there is none. I figured if I take the ladder off I'll split a piece of pvc pipe and mount that on the front of it. But they work well for what I needed for work. The service from etrailer was excellant. I dealt with Carol and she did a very good job in helping me.
I choose etrailer simply because they mailed to APO. I’m a AD SM, and a lot of companies don’t shop to APO. As soon as I ordered my product, I received an email as a courtesy from etrailer letting me know I had an individual that would be tracking my product every step of the way, reassuring a smooth process. Their site functionality was easy, their customer service was great. I wanted to know if they had bike racks that would fit my cross bars, I got a email right away with a suggestion and a link that would fit my needs. I’ll definitely order from etrailer if I ever need to again.
Sightline Towers(along with #82 Sightclips)are a perfect fit on my 2024 Mazda CX-90 even though not confirmed by etrailer (Yakima HQ did confirm it though). ETrailer’s sales support staff was super helpful in getting this figured out. Yakima’s instructions are very thorough—follow their measurements! Mazda has four locator holes on the flush rails for positioning the Sightline towers—use them. Note, I reused my Jetstream crossbars, hence them looking a tad weathered.
I put it with the Timberline system and worked great
They fit perfectlly and solidly on my 2021 Toyota Highlander. The instructions are clear and entirely accurate.
Fast shipping and great updates on my items. Thank you!
All parts of adapter were not needed. Instructions were a little unclear.
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
Great product and even better was the service with etrailer! These guys make it happen and delivery was super fast. Thanks for a fantastic experience, will be a return customer.
Yakima HD bars 60”
2018 Ford Expedition
These are a must for HD bars and the shipping was fast! I wish there was some way to know I had to get these because they are not included.
Easy installation on a '25 Kia Sportage hybrid. I installed with round crossbars and both the towers and the crossbars clear the fully opened moon-roof.
I ordered the Yakima roof rack for a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq. I went with the heavy duty one for extra strength but it is quite a bit thicker, likely increasing wind noise. So I might have chosen the aerodynamic lighter weight one if I was to do it again. Also, I needed to get larger bolts for my kayak holder to get around the crossbar. The instructions and video on website were very helpful but they did not explain well how to adjust the toe and pitch. For the toe adjustment, you have to push the metal post with the tool before tightening. That was not obvious. For the pitch, it helped to do that once the towers are attached to crossbar. Then you can tilt tower while cross bar is laying flat (upside down). I ended up having to add tilt on both front and back crossbars for them to be flat when installed. Website said only front one would need to be pitched. I am very pleased with the look and sturdiness of the product. My Hyundai Dealer had zero options for this car.
This item was just a component of a 4 or 5-part order that I have been working on in recent months. All of the items would receive 5-stars along with the eTrailer fulfillment, customer service, and video product review/installation teams. I appreciate your commitment to outstanding service.
Works perfect for our SUP with the tie down loops. Great for building materials as well. Looks great as well.

Excellent customer service and prompt delivery. They even followed up to make sure everything was correct with my order. I highly recommend ETrailer!
