Features to know about

Avoid Awkward Overhang: Flush, Factory-Look Bars

The Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack keeps a low, streamlined profile that looks like it came built-in. The flush design keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline with no overhang, giving your setup a clean, finished look. The integrated crossbar and tower system creates a single, solid piece that fits neatly on your naked roof without bulky hardware getting in the way.

Cut Down on Whistling and Vibration: Aero-Style Aluminum Crossbars

Nothing ruins a long drive like the constant hum of wind noise. These aero-style crossbars are built to smooth out airflow and cut down on drag. Push-down rubber strips fill the top channels to quiet whistling and vibration while you’re cruising at highway speeds. The aluminum construction keeps them strong yet lightweight, so you get durability without extra noise or bulk.

Take What You Want on Every Trip: Works with Channel-Mount and Clamp-On Accessories

This rack makes it easy to load up for any adventure. The bars work with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can attach cargo boxes, kayak carriers, ski holders, or bike racks without switching systems. Whether you’re hauling gear for the water, snow, or road, these crossbars have the versatility to handle it all.

Strong Enough for Real Loads: 165 lb Weight Capacity

With a 165-lb weight capacity, this setup is ready to carry serious gear—everything from heavy kayaks to packed cargo boxes. The aluminum build adds strength and stability while keeping weight down. You can load up confidently knowing the rack is built for secure transport on long trips.

Add Theft Protection When You’re Ready: SKS Lock Cores Sold Separately

For extra peace of mind, the system is compatible with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). Add them when you want to lock down your rack and channel-mounted gear, keeping everything secure when you’re parked at the trailhead or campsite.

This aerodynamic, flush-mount roof rack lets you carry gear and cargo on your vehicle while maintaining a clean, factory look. Crossbars work with channel-mount and clamp-on accessories. Installs on your vehicle's naked roof.

by:

These are great, and it is so nice to get a custom base clips that match the angles and contour of the sides of your roof. Makes it look very clean. These are made very well and for sure these will last a long time like my other Yakima products.



by:

Worked well as designed. Excellent service from Etrailer as usual. Have been a customer for many years and they will be my first choice for racks and hitches



by:

The rack has performed very well. I have carried a 100 lbs spare tire for over 6k miles across the country. On numerous 4wd roads and the rack has never shifted or marred my roof when removed. The only annoying issue is rubber pads doesn't clip in a better positive fashion when installing or during removal.



by:

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



by:

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



by:

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:

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.

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.

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:

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



by:

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



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:

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



by:

Awesome system. Was extremely easy to put together and to space out with the given tools and equipment.

The team is amazing, fast, and responsive! 10/10 will be ordering again from here for all my needs.



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.



by:

I was in dire need of finding a cross bar system to mount a 18cu foot Yakima cargo carrier for an upcoming camping trip and etrailer did me an enormous favor by using there website to find the correct system for my 2018 Toyota Camry. I was very pleased that the website confirmed the fitment and provided the whole kit with not just the towers and cross bars but also the clips to mount to a naked roof. So far the mounting was pretty straightforward as long as you follow the directions thoroughly. I drove 5 hours through a wind storm in SoCal with a box mounted and the system held up perfectly fine with no issues or hiccups. 10/10 recommend.

  • Can Two Sets of the Yakima JayLow Fit on a Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack
    In theory yes, since the Yakima JayLow Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 are only 10.3" wide you would have plenty of room on the Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # Y27UV to use two sets. The only thing you'd need to make sure is that they are spaced appropriately apart, and that you'll have enough room to fit both kayaks. As long as all of that checks out, then you'll be good to go.
