These crossbars give you the solid foundation you need for hauling kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear. The steel construction keeps things steady and reliable, even under load. Each bar measures 58" long x 1-1/8" in diameter and is built to handle up to 165 lbs, as long as you stay within your vehicle’s roof load limit. Whether you're driving across town or across the country, these bars help keep your gear stable and secure.
When you’re out in the elements, corrosion can be a concern. The black vinyl coating on these RoundBars helps resist rust and adds a clean, finished look. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference over time—your rack stays looking sharp and performing well through sun, rain, or road grit.
You don’t have to piece things together. This setup includes 2 RoundBars, 4 BaseLine towers, 4 adapters, and a custom fit kit designed for your naked roof. Once installed, it’s ready for all kinds of clamp-on accessories and carriers. From kayaks to cargo boxes, it’s a simple way to build a sturdy base for your adventures.
If you want extra security when you park, the rack works with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). Add them to deter theft of the rack and keep your setup safer when you’re away from the vehicle. It’s an easy upgrade that helps protect your investment.

As always an exceptionally well designed, quality product. Yakima has never disappointed me for more than 25 years now. I still use some of my original rack package. etrailer, per usual, had a great price and wonderful instructional videos. Shipping was fast and everything was perfect. It’s amazing that Yakima can make racks fit so many cars like it was a custom job. This was just a piece of an entire roof rack base with cross bars. Excellent stuff
Installation of the hitch, wiring,rear bike rack, and new roof rack towers went well. I didn't set any speed records, but I was more concerned with doing no damage on a new 2019 Toyota Sienna AWD van. The hitch fit up well per instructions except that I was able to work around the exhaust without lowering it. Underbody panel and rear fascia did both need to be removed. Very happy with the end result. The new van is now set up to haul the bikes and canoes and move my log splitter.
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 first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
I ordered a Yakima Roof Rack for my Toyota Prius from eTrailer.com. Part of the reason for purchasing from eTrailer.com was the promise that the racks were made specifically for the car and would not dent the roof.
I received the rack on July 31, and installed the racks on my Prius according to instructions included with the racks. Our tandem kayak is 65 lbs . The towers were placed on the outer most part of the roof as indicated by the instructions. Yakima saddles were attached to the crossbars to hold the kayak. Nothing was close or touching the top of the roof. We transported the kayak to a nearby lake, 6 miles, and back. The next day we removed the racks from the roof and noticed 4 dents on the top of the roof. It was obvious that transporting the kayak on the rack caused the dents.
We had to pay $100 to have the dents removed from the Prius roof.
I cannot continue to use this rack that puts dents in the car's roof. I was extremely disappointed in the racks. In reading the Toyota manual and contacting them by phone, there is no mention of using or not using roof racks.
I was shocked to learn from Rachel at eTrailer.com that your company takes absolutely no responsibility for this Yakima product they sell. The best they can do is to pass the buck and refer us to Yakima.
Very disappointed, and out a lot of money for a product that damages your car. Will not recommend or buy here again. eTrailer.com does not even deserve one star in this review.
functioned as promised
Product works as advertised thus far. When you buy the yakima towers, you are required to purchase these as well to fit the rounder bars (I feel sure there are other adapters for other bar shapes). These should have come with the towers in my opinion, and I resented having to shell out more $$ to purchase these "must have" adapters to mount my bars. 3 star overall rating based on function, price. Delivery and packaging was top-notch through etrailer.
Yakima Crossbars were as you would expect - steel bars coated in a soft black coating (be mindful when you are utilizing these with the top mounts as the clamp will eat through the soft coating when you tighten them down). I had issues with my yakima round bar setup as the brackets and tower system were allowing water to leak in. This is in no way reflective of what youll experience but Yakima has superb support. I spoke with them twice on my issue and out of their kindness they shipped me an entire setup to replace my existing one for free.
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.
Excellent service and fast shipping.
Straightforward installation to adapt the new SkyLine towers to the standard Yakima round bars.
Purchased to haul Kayak. Baseline bars and towers fit as expected! Highly adjustable on 3 axis to get roof and bar angles just right. Watched a video first about basic install. Very helpful, then written instructions made for a quick install. Have not used them yet but plan to very soon
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!
As all yakima products not the cheapest but work
I give it a five because it is exactly what I ordered. But I think the shipping was a little slow.
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
Customer service was extremely helpful in finding the exact replacement parts needed for my old car!
A great company to do business with, and lots of merchandise in stock. I orderd a roof rack for my truck on Tuesday morning and it was on the porch when I returned from work on Thursday. I will deffinitely order more from etrailer.com
The rack has performed very well. I have carried a 100 lbs spare tire for over 6k miles across the country. On numerous 4wd roads and the rack has never shifted or marred my roof when removed. The only annoying issue is rubber pads doesn't clip in a better positive fashion when installing or during removal.
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.
It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service
Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
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.
etrailer rocks! Great customer service and support. All pieces worked as promised and for my vehicle.
A bit disappointed that Yakima towers do not have a height adjustment so I can make both round crossbars level to keep my canoes from catching too much air on the highway. My vehicles roof flush rails are are curved vertically and change widths front to back. Had to Mickey Mouse the back crossbar to make it higher with PVC brick moulding.
Also the tower covers with the Yakima label don't clip on strongly enough so I had to add duct tape because I did not trust them to stay on.
Info for this part was:
