These galvanized steel crossbars form the solid backbone of the Yakima BaseLine roof rack. Each bar is built to handle up to 165 lbs while keeping its shape under load. The 48" long, 1-1/8" diameter bars give you a dependable platform for securing kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear on every trip.
The black vinyl coating helps resist corrosion and keeps the bars looking clean after long drives in rain or sun. That protective layer means the steel underneath stays tough and ready for years of use, even if your adventures take you down dusty roads or through coastal air.
Installing on a vehicle without factory rails can be tricky, but this setup is made for it. The BaseLine towers and custom fit kit create a secure connection right on your naked roof. Everything seats firmly in place, so you can load up without worrying about shifting or scratches.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores—sold separately—to deter theft when you’re away from the vehicle. It’s an easy way to keep your rack secure at trailheads, campgrounds, or hotel lots, giving you peace of mind wherever your trip takes you.

Ratings & Reviews
etrailer installation videos were very helpful in selecting the product and first installation, although in practice, minor adjustments to method were required. Now after more than a dozen set ups, mounting the crossbars takes 15 minutes, and taking them off, 10. The system is well made, and when mounted, precise, strong, and reliable. Expensive perhaps compared to alternatives, but well worth the money. Used to carry a 50# sailboard 40 miles to the beach on weekends. ('11 Honda Fit)
One minor shortcoming: rubber sheet glued to base clips where they touch the car body have torn and moved sideways 1/16", but expect will be easily replaced with readily available 1/16" sheet rubber (e.g., shower pan liner) when the time comes.
Used in rain at least once, (sustained 60mph), with no leaks.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
I bought both the roof rack and the cage from etrailer! Put everything on myself...easy peasy!
Excellent service and fast shipping.
Straightforward installation to adapt the new SkyLine towers to the standard Yakima round bars.
As all yakima products not the cheapest but work
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
