When you're loading up kayaks, canoes, or a cargo box, strength matters most. These Yakima RoundBars are built from galvanized steel to handle demanding trips and heavy loads. With a 165-lb weight capacity, they give you a solid foundation for everything from weekend adventures to long road trips.
You don’t want your rack giving out after a season in the elements. The black vinyl coating on these bars helps resist corrosion so they stay looking good and performing well even after countless miles of rain, sun, and salt spray. It’s a small detail that adds a lot of long-term durability.
A loose or wobbly rack is the last thing you want when you’re hauling gear. The SightLine towers create a custom installation that fits tight to your roof’s flush rails for a secure setup every time. This design locks the system into place so your gear rides steady mile after mile.
Whether it’s a kayak cradle, ski carrier, or cargo basket, these round crossbars work with accessories that clamp around the bars. That means you can easily attach the gear you already own and keep your setup flexible for different adventures throughout the year.
When you park for lunch or overnight at camp, Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) help deter theft of the rack. It’s an easy way to upgrade peace of mind so your gear stays right where you left it.

Ratings & Reviews
Loved the Yakima roof rack system. It's been a year and it is still going strong. Such an easy install and it looks great on my truck. My Yakima Skybox 16 sits perfectly atop the roof rack. My drives to The Sunshine State are all the more pleasurable and comfortable. My cargo area now has plenty of extra space since I load up my skybox 16 which sits perfectly on my Yakima roof rack system. The service from Etrailer was awesome. Thank you guys for your customer service and for selling such great products. I would recommend Etrailer to anyone.
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.
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 bought both the roof rack and the cage from etrailer! Put everything on myself...easy peasy!
Excellent service and fast shipping.
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
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
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!!!!!
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.
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.
