The Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack keeps your setup looking sleek and secure. The flush-mount design eliminates bar overhang, giving your roof a clean, factory style that blends right in. The integrated crossbar and tower system fits tight and solid, so your gear rides steady without extra bulk sticking out past the roofline.
These aero-style aluminum crossbars help reduce wind noise and vibration while you're driving. The push-down rubber strips in the top channels smooth out airflow and help quiet the ride. That aerodynamic profile means less drag and a calmer cabin on long highway drives or everyday commutes.
This rack is built to handle different adventures year-round. The crossbars work with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers—whether they mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars. Load up kayaks in summer, skis in winter, and cargo boxes year-round without needing separate setups.
The aluminum build keeps things lightweight but strong enough for serious hauling. With a 165 lbs weight capacity (always follow your vehicle’s roof load limit), it’s ready for kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear. Durable construction means you can count on it trip after trip without worry about strength or performance.
If you want extra protection for your rack and channel-mount accessories, this system works with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, sold separately. It’s an easy way to deter theft when your gear’s parked overnight or at a trailhead.

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!

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.
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 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.
Great!
Great service
Fit perfect & quick delivery
Perfect fit for our car, much better than any OEM rack I've ever seen.
Worded as described easy ordering will order again
Easy to order parts specific to our 2017 Ford Edge Titanium. Ford does not offer a rack on this model due to sunroof. Install was straight forward and looks/works great. Thanks.
I ordered these specifically for my vehicle and they fit perfectly. Clear instructions for installation and a coating that won't leave marks on my vehicle.
The crossbars are light and very strong. They fit perfectly and installed easily.
Dealing with etrailer has been very easy. The first roof rack was incorrect and they worked with us immediately to get it resolved. In hindsight I am glad as the Yakima is a much better quality and works great with our car.
Thanks!
Great product, easy to install, very happy with etrailers shipping.
All aspects of the purchase and installation were great. Based on the information provided on the etrailer.com website, I had a high level of confidence that I was purchasing the correct product(s) for my vehicle. The installation was relatively simple and straightforward and the rack is rock solid on my roof. It appears that I did a great job of following the directions :)
Yakima towers and crossbars were solid and easy to install with the very well written instructions. We used them on 2 cross country trips with any loosening. They were easy to remove. We plan to use them again as the need arises.
Very happy with the Yakima roof top rack kit for my 2017 Ford Edge with glass roof. The instructions were a little confusing at first, but after reading through them a couple of times while working with the product they became much clearer. The Yakima fit site was helpful as well. After the initial cross bar mounting measurements and set up, attaching and detaching the racks from the roof is a very simple process.
High quality and all. But my old Yakima rack setup stayed together. The cover was part of a lever to tighten clips. The clips were captured in the assembly. New design the cover and clips need to be completely removed. Need a torque Allen wrench to install every time. Loose parts become Easter egg hunts. Am sure this is to sailer proof mount--that truly is impossible!
