The Yakima BaseLine FX keeps everything tight to the roofline for a clean, factory-style look. The flush design means there’s no crossbar hanging past the towers, giving the whole setup a low-profile finish. It blends in instead of looking bolted on, so it feels like part of your vehicle right from the start.
Wind noise can get old fast on long drives. The aero-style aluminum crossbars are shaped to help smooth airflow and reduce drag. Push-down rubber strips fill the top channel to quiet vibration and whistling while you’re driving. The result is a calmer ride and a rack that doesn’t steal the soundtrack of your road trip.
Whether you’re carrying a cargo box, kayak cradle, or ski rack, these bars let you mix and match how you mount your gear. They work with accessories that slide into the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can use what you already own or add something new later. That flexibility makes it easy to pack for camping trips, paddling days, or hauling everyday gear.
This setup includes two integrated BaseLine FX crossbars with towers and a custom fit kit designed for naked roofs. It’s solid aluminum construction gives it strength for up to 165 lbs of load—always staying within your vehicle’s roof limit. Once installed, it delivers stable support without extra parts or overhangs getting in the way.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) to help deter theft of both the rack and any channel-mounted accessories. It’s an easy upgrade that keeps your setup secure when you’re parked at the trailhead or campsite overnight.

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.
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.
Great service from my knowledgeable salesperson and the product installed easily and performs perfectly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service
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.
The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.
Rack is still on the car one year later. Yakima doesn’t have a replacement cover for the tower, which is flimsy.
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.
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.
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 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.
Thank you
Shipped faster than the product was available from Yakima!
Worked as expected. Etrailer shipped them on time and they showed up a day early
