When you’re hauling gear, wind noise can make long drives tiring. The JetStream crossbars have an aero-style shape that helps smooth airflow across the roof. The rubber strips in the top channels seal up around your mounts, cutting down on vibration and whistling. It keeps things quieter so you can enjoy the drive instead of fighting the noise.
Some racks make you cut rubber strips to fit your accessories, but this one doesn’t. The Yakima design uses push-down strips in the top channels that flex to accept your accessory hardware—no trimming needed. It keeps installation cleaner and faster, while still sealing the channels to help reduce drag and protect against weather.
From kayaks to cargo boxes, these aluminum crossbars give you sturdy support for all kinds of loads. Each bar measures 60" long x 2-3/4" wide x 1-1/8" tall and offers a total weight capacity of 165 lbs (always follow your vehicle’s own roof load limit). It’s a solid setup that gives you room for big adventures without feeling flimsy or overloaded.
When your gear stays on the roof overnight, it’s good to have extra security. This system is compatible with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, sold separately. Adding them lets you lock the rack to your vehicle so it stays put wherever your trip takes you.
The silver aluminum build resists rust and wear while keeping overall weight low. It looks clean on the roof and stands up to repeated use through every season. With a limited lifetime warranty backing it, this rack is designed to handle years of travel and outdoor hauling.
Ratings & Reviews
Installed on my wife's car and she loves it. Even bought kayak attachment and it works great.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
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 customer service, definitely order from etrailer again.
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.
Yakima is always great, the bars are just right for my kayaks and look great too.
Happy with the purchase. Crossbars shipped and received quickly.
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.
Easy to install and met my need for hauling a kayak.
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.
Took longer than expected to receive order but knew when order was placed it would be over a month to receive complete order.
What I was disappointed in was the installation information, much more complicated than anticipated. Would be better if instructions were provided in one language not multiple, too much text to sort through.
Just seems overly confusing, could be done a lot better.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
Work exactly as they should and hold everything securely to my vehicle without interfering with the car’s normal operation. etrailer had best prices based on my research. These bars are much quieter than traditional round bars and worth the added expense.
Easy to install thanks to the etrailer video. I have used the rack system on many long distance trips including driving from South Carolina to Yellowstone.
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.
The towers are of great quality and construction. Instructions were semi-simple but as long as you read everything twice it’s easy. Great product, I’m very happy with my purchase!
Bought 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.
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!!
Relatively easy to install on my VW Golf (etrailer videos are very helpful) and sooooo useful with my Yakima skybox. Not much road noise, so I can leave the rack on even when I am not using it.
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
Strong, Solid Bars, Super Light, and really easy to install!
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.
Great UX for finding the options matching my car, and the baseline towers work great. Simple straightforward site, will plan to use them again when needed.
For those also buying crossbars for cars without roof rails, recommend taking a silver sharpie and marking the placement of the crossbars on the weather seal at the top of the door openings. Makes putting them back on way less of a hassle if you don’t want them on 24/7.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
Great product haven’t had any issues with it. Would highly recommend that anyone that’s looking for a roof rack system and a great seller at etrailer
