These Yakima RoundBars are built from galvanized steel, giving them the strength to handle serious hauling. With a 165-lb weight capacity, they provide a solid backbone for everything from kayaks to camping gear. The black vinyl coating protects against corrosion, so you can load up and hit the road without worrying about the elements wearing them down.
Everything you need comes in one package—2 RoundBars, 4 SightLine towers, and a custom fit kit for your roof. The SightLine design gives you a clean, precise attachment to flush rails, keeping the bars secure and level. It’s a straightforward setup that feels sturdy once in place, ready for your next trip.
The black vinyl coating isn’t just for looks—it guards the steel underneath from moisture and road salt. That means your rack stays looking good and performing well season after season. Whether you’re hauling wet kayaks or driving through winter slush, the finish helps keep everything protected.
For extra peace of mind, this rack works with Yakima’s Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). They deter theft by locking the rack to your roof, so you can leave your vehicle parked at camp or at a trailhead knowing your setup is safe.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
Excellent service and fast shipping.
I bought both the roof rack and the cage from etrailer! Put everything on myself...easy peasy!
As all yakima products not the cheapest but work
Easy installation on a '25 Kia Sportage hybrid. I installed with round crossbars and both the towers and the crossbars clear the fully opened moon-roof.
Roof rack on my 2005 Chevy Uplander. Also ordered the Q towers and fairing.
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.
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.
Customer service was extremely helpful in finding the exact replacement parts needed for my old car!
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 :)
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
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.
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
excellent and very fast service
Solid and easy to instal
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!
These convertors will allow me to continue to use my hullavator system currently on round bars. The drop in feature of skyline towers makes the whole change out a snap. Certainly better than buying a whole new hullavator.
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!!!!!
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 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 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.
High quality. Adapter to use modern towers with my 2003 round tube cross members.
Put these on our new to us '23 GX460. They were just a bit of a challenge to install, tho after the 1st one, the second was easier. But the result is excellent! just returned from 2 weeks of daily running on rough washboard or potholed back roads in northern Maine. 2 canoes on 70" crossbars. Haven't had to readjust anything - rock solid on the car.
Products great. Service and delivery from you company was not acceptable. when I placed my order you missed your delivery date by five days. Not sure how this happened, but requested help was not available.
