Speaker 1: Today on our 2013 Chevrolet Cruise, we're going to be doing a test fit of our Yakima Jet Stream roof rack system. That's going to consist of our 50 inch black Yakima Jet Stream crossbars and that's part number Y00425. They also come in silver, which is part number Y00428. It's also going to consist of our baseline towers, part number Y00146 and our base clip fit kits, part numbers Y06137 and Y06127.This Yakima roof rack system is going to allow you to carry many different types of roof mounted accessories, such as bike racks or cargo boxes. They feature and aerodynamic design, which is going to make them far quieter than our traditional round or square bars.It's going to work with your clamp on accessories. It's also going to accommodate your T squad accessories.
While other cross bars require you to trim and remove a section of your strip here, the nice thing about these is you can simply push down and slide in your T-bar accessories.Our cross bars are held in place by four baseline towers. Each tower has a foot pad that's going to protect our roof from any sort of damage. And it also features a cover to protect our hardware. The kit includes four clamps that are specially designed for our Cruise that are going to hold our cross bars in place. They feature a rubber pad so there's not going to be any damage to our frame.Now if you'd like to add increased security, you can buy Yakima cores for our locks, and that's part number Y07204.
This roof rack features a weight capacity of 165 pounds but you will want to check your owner's manual to make sure your roof can sustain that sort of weight.Now that we've gone over a few of the features, let's go ahead and look at how to install it. So we have our front bar installed already. After assembly, per our instructions, we measured from the top of our windshield to the front of our foot pad. We did that on both sides and then we went ahead and tightened it down.With our front bar installed, let's go ahead and look at how to install our rear bar. We already have one of our baseline towers installed on our jet stream cross bar, so I'm going to go ahead and show you how to install the other one.
We're going to flip that over and we're going to take our baseline tower and our first step is to insert our plastic adapter into the slot there.Once we get it lined up, we can click it in place. And then we're going to take our metal T-bracket there. One thing I do want to show you, this little window is covered up right now, so we're going to have to go to the back and pull out on this tab here, and that's going to open the window for us to insert our tool and tighten that down. We want to get it flush with the plastic adapter so that we can slide it onto our cross bar.There's a scale printed on our cross bar here, so we're going to go ahead and move to the correct measurement, and you can find that in your instructions.Next, we want to install our footpad, so there is a notch in our footpad that will line up with our bar on our foot. And then we'll simply click in place.
Next we're going to install our footpad on our foot piece. So as you can see, there's a little notch in the back here that's going to line up with our bar, so we're just going to go ahead and insert that in place.Now, this next part is a little bit confusing so I want to explain. The front of our bar is going to be the fatter part, that's kind of rounded. So all of our measurements are going to be based off of that. On the inside here, you'll see we have our pitch adjustment and our toe adjustment. That's just going to determine how straight our footpad is, and the level of our crossbars. So we want our toe adjustment to be centered here. We're going to go ahead and start tightening that down.And then our pitch is going to be pushed over so that our inside nut is the farthest away from the front of our bar possible. I'll go ahead and tighten that down. Now our tool is going to let us know when everything is properly tightened by clicking in place. And there we have it. Now that we have our baseline tower set, all we have to do is put on our end cap here, close that little door that we opened earlier, and set it in place.Now I'm just going to put this in the general vicinity and we can make adjustments here in a moment. Now that we have our roof rack on our roof, we want to make sure and measure to ensure our crossbar spread is where it should be. You can find that measurement in your instructions. And you want to measure from the same place on both, so either from the front or from the center or the rear, just make sure it's the same. And you want to do that on both sides.So now with our crossbar in the correct position, we want to make sure that our footpad is seated properly in our track there. And then we're ready to open our little plastic door there and open our vehicle door and insert our clip. Now you want to make sure that you have the correct clip, they are different on the front and the back. We're going to go underneath this middle portion to make sure that it bites in. So as you can see, our clip is not flush with our vehicle. There's some space in there, so we're going to go ahead and turn our bolt up here until it makes contact and then we're going to be able to go ahead and start tightening it down. You don't want to tighten it too far because you do want to make it equal on both sides.Now that we've got it pretty close to being even on both sides, we're going to use that included tool and tighten it down and listen for those clicks. Then all we have to do is close our little plastic piece here and then mount our cover. Gonna go ahead and do that on the other side as well.With it installed, we're now ready to load up any of our favorite roof mounted accessories and hit the road. And that's going to do it for our test fit of our Yakima jet stream roof rack system on our 2013 Chevrolet Cruise.

These crossbars combine the strength of steel with an aerodynamic shape to create a heavy-duty yet quiet roof rack for your vehicle. Full-length bars maximize cargo carrying capacity and work with most clamp-on accessories.Excellent solution for my 2023 Chevy Silverado. In the past, I have had rails installed on the roof of my pickup trucks, but I find the BaseLine towers to be a better solution, since they don't permanently change the truck. Plus, they are much more solid than SkyLine system on the rails.
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.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
As described! Quick delivery!
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
Great product great service
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
I've just recently installed this setup on my 2015 Toyota Camry.
etrailer - Shopping for this rack was fairly simple, and the shipping from etrailer was quick and reliable. I received the rack in 2 different shipments but they both arrived at the same time. etrailer made sure the all the contents were available. They also have several resourceful videos on their YouTube page, which was helpful while shopping for the rack and during a few trouble shooting items while I was installing.
Yakima Core Bar - Overall a quality product. Everything necessary was supplied, including a handy measuring tape and some very well written instructions. The fit is clean and very sturdy. The only qualm I have is that the hex hole in the large anchor bolts are a bit larger than the supplied hex driver. Toward the end of the installation, the tool was worn and ended up turning inside the bolt itself (not due to over torquing whatsoever). I ended up having to use a hex set I had in my toolbox to complete the installation because the provided tool was starting to strip out the anchor bolt. With that said, the kit is still a great kit that meets my expectations.
Wind noise is quieter than my OEM VW bars on my 2017 Volkswagen GTI. It's noticeable, but nothing extreme - I believe that's just the price you pay when adding crossbars to a vehicle.
Verdict - etrailer has definitely met my expectations, and the Yakima kit provided is a well designed kit that fits well!
Well packaged and on time
So far so good. Purchased these towers to use on a 2022 GMC Canyon with HD bars that I already had, primarily to carry my canoe. Yakima's fitting instructions worked perfectly and the whole system seems really solid.
Should include extra end caps just in case they fall off.
These crossbars feel like they are well made and sturdy. It took less than 30 minutes to install with the Ridgeline Towers. I love the look of the bars! Can't wait to load the Kayaks up and get out on the water.
Your notice of schemes was a lot better than the yakima site provided. They did not suggest the scheme you did.
But when the products arrived, the instructions were by yakima. Generally worked as instructed except the tower to tower transverse mounting dimensions needed to be tweaked for a perfect fit.
Very sturdy, well made. The assembly instructions are not too good but if you call Yakima they will provide additional instructions.
Great product fast shipping
Great! Easy to install!
Thank you Tammie P for all your help in getting the right Product!!!
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Very happy with the Yakima roof top rack kit for my 2017 Ford Edge with glass roof. The instructions were a little confusing at first, but after reading through them a couple of times while working with the product they became much clearer. The Yakima fit site was helpful as well. After the initial cross bar mounting measurements and set up, attaching and detaching the racks from the roof is a very simple process.
Feel solid, not too tricky to install
Nicole was beyond helpful!!!
antastic company and wonderful service, one of the racks was the wrong size for my car so they were able to help find the right size for my Car. Absolutely great company, with fast shipping and just the products I needed for my Car!. Very helpful, and overall smooth transaction and service. I will order from this company again very soon!. shipping came in a very strong and solid box. I highly recommend buying from them!. 10/10 all the way!.
Good transaction. Arrived quickly, new in box.
Very good product. The Yakama towers and cross bars feel very solid and appears to be high quality. Very easy install. Others have complained about the instructions, but guess I'm a visual person because the pictures all seemed very clear to me and the install was very easy. They do sit higher than I expected. After adding a Rhino Rack cargo basket, we only have about 4-5" clearance below the garage door.
