Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Jeep Renegade we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack system consisting of part numbers Y00408, these are the 48" cross bars from Yakima, the round style, and part number Y03536, this is the round bar SL adapter for the Timberline Towers, and finally part number Y00147, and these are the Timberline Towers for the Yakima crossbars, particularly for the factory raised side rails.The Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. It can carry bike racks, cargo baskets, cargo boxes, ski and snowboard carriers, and kayak carriers. The bars are strong and durable, and together have a carrying capacity of 165 pounds, though you always want to double check with your vehicle's manuals to make sure it can withstand those weights. Also, if you wanted to cut down wind noise and drag with the bars, you can purchase a Yakima fairing, which you can find on etrailer.com.It's very easy to install. It simply wraps around your existing factory raised side rail, tightens down, and also tightens down to the bar as well. On our end caps here we do have knockouts for the Yakima Same Key System, which is sold separately, and once you install those not only will it be secured to your roof, but you can also make it keyed alike to the accessories for your roof as well.
Now that we've gone over some of the features of the round bar roof rack system let's go ahead and show you how it installs.We have our rear bar partially assembled on our table here, and here you'll see our tower, our round bar adapter kit with the end caps for the bars as well, our two end caps for the towers, and our tightening tool. First we're going to attach our plastic piece from our adapter into our tower, making sure that this portion faces up like that. You hear it click when it goes into place. Then for our round bar adapter itself you'll see that it has a screw top at the bottom of it, let's match it up with that screw there. We'll flip it upside down, take our tightening tool and tighten it down, placing it on the bar as we do this, until you hear audible clicks from the tightening tool.
There we go.Next we can set this on to our factory raised side rails. Our next step is we're going to measure from center to center of our bars for our cross bar spread. When it comes to the cross bar spread you just want to make sure it's not less than 24". Looks like that's about even on both sides. Our next step, we're going to take our strap and just wrap it up underneath, and put it into that cradle there.
Then we'll tighten the bolt on the inside first and then this outside portion to tighten that around the bars, and this tightens the tower to the bar. We'll do this on both sides. We'll install our end cap here, and our end cap on the end here, and then we're ready to hit the road. And there you have it for the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack System on our 2017 Jeep Renegade.

These multipurpose, galvanized steel crossbars supply the backbone for your aftermarket roof rack system. Works with accessories that clamp around the bars. Pair with Yakima towers, fit kit, and RoundBar SL Adapter to create a complete roof rack.Works perfectly. I am always impressed that Yakima continues to make parts for the "old roundbars" since they have since moved on to the superior JetStream bars.
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
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.
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'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!!!!!
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
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 :)
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!
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
Everything from etrailer is timely and of good quality! The Yakima crossbars are no exception - they are indestructible.
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.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
Everything arrived as promised and earlier than expected just installed. Looks like it will do everything I need it to which is haul around paddleboards. So far so good!
Great product and very easy to install! I called in to put my order in due to not trusting myself in getting one that fits my car. Jessica W. Was beyond professional and helpful in the process. She went also well above her position and tracked my order and sent additional information. Couldn’t be happier with the product and customer service!
We got a Yakima Roof Rack system with locks and fairing for a "lime squeeze metallic" (Green...) 2011 Ford Fiesta 5dr Hatchback. Received the package yesterday and set it up within about an hour.
Really Easy to Install! Solid and Strong amount to Roof Rack.
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
I have been using Yakima racks for around 40 years and have never had any problems. However, I am amazed at the price increases over the years. Etrailer prices were by far lower than most. Overall, a very excellent purchase.
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
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.
Great products though, again, written instructions would have been nice.
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
Haven’t used them yet but they should work as expected
etrailer is excellent...however, not too pleased with Yakima and these cross bars - second set in four years...they make them out of a steel that rusts quickly...better out of stainless or aluminum. Maybe that is their idea of planned obsolescence. I also learned not to install end caps...that accelerated the corrosive process.
An Excellent Roof Rack!
