Features:
Specs:
The heavy-duty BaseLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima crossbars (sold separately) to your vehicle with a naked roof. The towers can be adjusted during installation to ensure your crossbars are level and that the rack is seated correctly on your roof. The BaseLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars. The towers install with Yakima's DropHook system and BaseClips (sold separately).
Versatile BarBed
The BaseLine's BarBed is specifically designed to work with Yakima's entire line of crossbars.
The BarBed is curved to accommodate the elliptical shape of the CoreBar and JetStream crossbar. The CoreBar includes brackets that slide over the bar and secure to the towers with bolts. The JetStream attaches directly to the tower with bolts.
The towers also work with Yakima RoundBars with adapters (Y03536 - sold separately). The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.
The crossbars mount to the BaseLine towers with the included torque tool. The tool clicks 3 times once you've reached the correct amount of torque so you don't have to worry about over- or under-tightening. This is the only tool you will need to secure the bars to the towers and the towers to your roof.
Adjustable Pitch and Toe Angle
The pitch and toe angle of each tower adjusts to provide a level mounting surface and to ensure the rack is seated correctly on your roof. To set up, install the towers on your crossbars and place them so the bottoms of the towers are facing up. Next, adjust the pitch and toe angle to the correct position as indicated by your fit kit's instruction manual. The pitch adjustments are labeled A, B, and C, and the toe angle adjustments are labelled 1, 2, and 3. Once these are set place the rack on your roof.
Secure Installation with DropHook System
The towers install with custom-fit BaseClips (sold separately). To mount a tower remove the cover, open the door inside the assembly, and attach the BaseClip to the hook inside the tower. The clip adjusts on 3 axes as you tighten it to ensure a safe and secure fit. Once the clip is tightened down, close the door to secure the clip in place.
Same Key System Locks
BaseLine towers are compatible with Yakima SKS lock cores (Y07204 - sold separately) that allow you to secure the roof rack to your roof. The SKS locks are all keyed alike so a single key opens all the locks. The locks can also be swapped out to make all of your Yakima products keyed alike.

Today on our 2016 Ford Focus, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima CoreBar Roof Rack System, consisting of part numbers Y00422, these are the Yakima CoreBar crossbars, 60 inches long, part number Y00146, these are the baseline towers for the Yakima crossbars, part number Y06135, and Y06105. These are going to be the base clip fit kits for the Ford Focus. The Yakima CoreBar system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. The two bars have a combined carrying capacity of 220 pounds, although you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand that weight. The bars have an aerodynamic shape to them, which will cut down wind noise and drag while you're driving, and all of our end caps have these knock-outs here, which you can install the Yakima Same Key System, so you can actually secure this to your roof once you have it installed. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the 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 our next step is to take our baseline foot and attach it to our other end here.
I'll take this plastic piece here and it just pushes into place. You'll hear the clicks, like so. Then we'll take our adapter for our bar. We'll slide it on like so and then we'll flip the bar upside down, and attach our baseline foot. We'll line up our pole here with the top. Now, I can see the screw here.
Sometimes it will be blocked off like so. To open that up, you come to this portion here. You pull out like so, and you're able to see it again. We'll just loosely tighten it down, and then we'll get our measurement for the spacing between our feet. You'll find this measurement in your instructions, and once you have it where it needs to be, you can tighten it down.
The nice thing about this tightening tool that comes with the kit, it's actually going to click once it's completely tightened down so you don't over-tighten it, like so. Now, before we put anything else on, I want to point out this section here. You'll see that it has three notches, and those are going to be the settings for your specific vehicle. Now, to loosen or tighten it or to adjust it, you would loosen this screw here. Now, we have it set to where it needs to be right now, but always double check with your instructions to know the proper setting for this area here. Next we go to our base clip kit, and install a rubber pad, which just pushes in at the bottom of our foot.
Next we'll install our end cap, which just pushes on and now we can set this onto the roof of our vehicle. With it set down on our roof, our next step is to get our crossbar spread, and that's going to be from center of the bar to center of the bar. You can find this measurement in your instructions. We'll repeat this for the other side as well. Then we'll open up this gray door, go to this portion here, push our clip into place. By tightening down this screw, it'll climb toward to the actual door frame, and then we'll get it just snug by tightening up this portion here against the door, and then we'll repeat this process on the other side. Once we tighten these up, again using that same tightening tool we used earlier, you'll hear it click and you're ready to go. There we go, close up the gray door here. Then we can put on our end caps, and then we'll be able to install our accessories and hit the road. There you have it for the Yakima CoreBar Roof Rack System on our 2016 Ford Focus.

Heavy-duty towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima crossbars safely and securely to your vehicle with a naked roof. Tower pitch adjusts to create a level roof rack on curved roofs. Includes torque tool for worry-free installation.Easy to order parts specific to our 2017 Ford Edge Titanium. Ford does not offer a rack on this model due to sunroof. Install was straight forward and looks/works great. Thanks. 432079
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. 524277
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT which has the non-functional roof side bars. Etrailer.com helped me figure this out and gave me several options that would work. As I already have Yakima bike racks - I wanted to stick with the brand. The price on etrailer.com was the same as Yakima but had free shipping and no tax - awesome. The Yakima product came with thorough and easy to understand instructions. I was able to get the track installed and working in about an hour - and that was taking it slow and double checking everything. I was very pleased with the fit and finish. After a test run, there was no wind noise or issue with the rack. Looking forward to taking a road trip next month with it! 549915
Great price and quality. The instructions are a little tricky, even for those who are mechanically inclined. But that's partly because of the several adjustable features (like pitch of the cross bar and toe-in adjustment of the foot of the tower). But those adjustable features are also what makes the Yakima superior to some other brands. Even Thule, I think. 430867
Customer service was excellent, they called me to tell me one item was backordered and how long it would be. Package was shipped with enough packing material. Install was pretty easy, some of the Yakima measurements in the manual are a couple inches off but no big deal. This will be used to carry a box for when the family takes trips. Can pile all the luggage up top and have more room in the car. I would recommend the Yakima corebar roof rack and etrailer! Their price was lower than 2 other sites I checked. 580388
etrailer installation videos were very helpful in selecting the product and first installation, although in practice, minor adjustments to method were required. Now after more than a dozen set ups, mounting the crossbars takes 15 minutes, and taking them off, 10. The system is well made, and when mounted, precise, strong, and reliable. Expensive perhaps compared to alternatives, but well worth the money. Used to carry a 50# sailboard 40 miles to the beach on weekends. ('11 Honda Fit) One minor shortcoming: rubber sheet glued to base clips where they touch the car body have torn and moved sideways 1/16", but expect will be easily replaced with readily available 1/16" sheet rubber (e.g., shower pan liner) when the time comes. Used in rain at least once, (sustained 60mph), with no leaks. 401272
How do you go wrong with Yakima? The system works great on the roof of my 2015 Chevy 'High Country' Crew cab. I am using it to support a cage style system that holds my 'handyman jack' as well as a spare 20" wheel & tire system. 561232
Ordered new towers so as to use my old-school round bars (I bought these at least 18 years ago, maybe even earlier) and bike and canoe accessories on a new vehicle (naked roof 2018 CR-V). Installation was tedious, as usual, but not difficult and the written instructions were straightforward. Youtube helpful too but not necessary. Have hauled bikes and the canoe in high wind on the interstate (no more than 65 mph though) on the CR-V and so far so good. Have had excellent results with Yakima racks on 3 vehicles now (2 sedans and now the CR-V) over last 28 yrs. This is my first purchase through etrailer. Very pleased. Good price, excellent service online and via phone, rapid delivery. Highly recommend. 524695
Awesome price! Shipped to me fast and it's an amazing product. Customer service helped me through some ordering confusion and got everything figured out very smoothly. Love the roof rack! 389986
Awesome! Thank you! 575552
Everything came in okay, instructions were very clear. Very easy assembly. the kit was completely built. Only one problem, I went to put the last adapter clamp on and it would not thread in. The hole was a size too big and the threads were barely there. 253626

The roof rack has been awesome! It has been really handy to be able to attach our bike rack attachment, kayak bars or traveling cargo carrier. My only complaint is that the end caps fell off somewhere along one of our many adventures and looks a bit disheveled. Other than the appearance it has been very versatile and we love it! 483437

Mike L - 03/11/2018Bought 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. 559478
excellent design with easy to follow in structions 692243
Great product and Sales Support from etrailer. I bought this for my Son as a Grad/BDay gift for a Honda HR-V which has slightly odd roof/door shape He installed it himself said the install was straightforward but the instructions could use a little improvement. etrailer Sales Support was great, I was a little concerned about getting the right parts and the return policy. Olivia was great to work with, she offered recommendations and matched the parts to the type and vehicle it was to be installed on along with a kayak mount. All the parts arrived in mint condition with no missing pieces. I'll for sure return to etrailer on future purchases. 665344
Bought the rack kit for my truck a the fit was great 665094
Arrived in good condition. All parts where there. It was easy to install. 597423
Fast service, accurate part selection, excellent fit. Customer service was superb. 568427
Excellent 561264
Great product! Yakima is hard to beat! 551551
After a year, the racks are holding up nicely and still have a solid fit. I only put them on the car when needed. It just takes a few minutes to set them up and go. 527070
E trailer always helpful. Shout out to Leslie and George. Keep up the good work 520322
I am totally happy with the Yakima racks. I ordered the Core Bars for the 200lb capacity and the first order arrived damaged. I called etrailer and they provided excellent customer service and had replacements to me and double boxed for protection in 2 days! Very happy with the customer service at etrailer.com! Only reason for 4 stars is that the Core Bars are coated in plastic and after mounting my Malone j Style Kayak carriers, the plastic coating gets damaged. Maybe this would not happen with other attachments but this is my experience. Both products worked great, just not a perfect match and Core Bars would be better if Aluminum and not plastic coated, to eliminate damage to the coating... 514445
We love the rack! We use it to transport a kayak and a paddleboard to and from the lake. Very strong and easy to load. 496003
Great stuff as usual from Yakima. Fit and functionality are very good! Etrailer really have their stuff together. Fast shipping! 488499
Great product. I tried a different cheaper priced option and ended up returning them. You get what you pay for sometimes. I'd buy these again or sure. And etrailers customer service was top notch as always. 483683
Bought kayak racks. Took a while to put together, but they are very high quality. etrailer send a wrong part (digits on the part number were reversed), but it was very easy to get this corrected and I received the correct part in less than a week. I even spoke to someone on a Saturday afternoon about the mix up who was very pleasant! They have my vote. 483889
Solid installation with jetstream crossbars; added the crossbar pads for softer fit during inverted kayak transport. Shipment arrived days early - perfect timing. Height of towers easily clears the shark fin antenna on CX5 vehicle. Now have option down the road on readily adding ski and snowboard attachment to free up internal cargo space. Might want to consider 50" crossbars if you want a cleaner look and don't need the extra width. 435729
Baseline towers for a 2010 Toyota Prius. These mounted just fine after some minor adjustments to the surface mount, being sure to center these across the vehicle. They latch onto the door frame, and with the included torque wrench, these appear to be very stable and secure. Delivery and packaging was very good from etrailer. I did notice an annoying whistling at low speeds, and determined that the small linear spacing between the tower "doors" and the main unit was causing airflow to make noise. I used Gorilla tape to cover these linear spaces, and the noise subsided. 434748

Easy setup once you read instruction to understand how they work. 392029
easy to install, use them for my kayack 389917
One year later and everything works well. I had a problem early on where the rubber protection for one of the j clips from the base towers came off. Contacted etrailer and they sent me a whole new assembly direct from Yakima. Thanks for the prompt response and service! 383857
Great product! Had them for a year now and they are very sturdy. 381916
Nice design. Only thing i wish was different was the plastic cover that says yakima. Would have been better if it was made of stronger material. 367977
Dealing with etrailer has been very easy. The first roof rack was incorrect and they worked with us immediately to get it resolved. In hindsight I am glad as the Yakima is a much better quality and works great with our car. Thanks! 362054
I want to thank the staff at eTrailer for their outstanding support. After my roof rack order got off to a shaky start the customer service staff stepped in and made it right; 100% RIGHT. I cannot thank them, and eTrailer, enough. Regarding the roof rack itself, I have now installed it and can vouch that the installation was a breeze. All parts fit and the instructions were correct. For the record, this is not my first purchase from eTrailer (I've bought hitch items from them before) and it won't be my last. They have ALWAYS given great service, their web site works, their products and descriptions are good, etc., etc. Thank you! 326328
Very good quality 294956
Review from a similar Yakima BaseLine in Roof Rack
Good product, been used dozens of times now. Only issue is about Yakima’s decision to require a separate tool to put it on and take it off. Not a fan of that design decision but it works. 654351
