To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When you’re hauling gear like kayaks, canoes, or camping cargo, you need bars that won’t flex or wobble. This setup includes 2 JetStream crossbars made from aluminum for strength and stability under load. The system supports up to 165 lbs but always follow your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity. The solid build gives you the confidence to head out fully packed for your next trip.
Wind noise can turn a long drive into a headache. The JetStream crossbars are shaped to cut through the air and reduce drag. Rubber strips in the top channels seal around your mounts to help reduce wind noise and vibration even more. You can drive at highway speeds without that constant whistling that some racks cause.
Many racks make you cut rubber strips to fit accessories, but this one skips that hassle. The push-down strips in the top channels let you press hardware right into place—no trimming needed. The strips close back around the mounts to keep things clean and quiet while making setup quick and simple.
Whether it’s a kayak cradle, cargo box, or bike rack, these aero-style crossbars are compatible with most universal water, snow, cargo, and bike carriers. You can mount gear using either the top channels or standard clamp-around attachments. It’s a flexible system that works with the accessories you already have and leaves room for new ones down the road.
If you park at a trailhead or hotel overnight, it’s easy to add security. The SkyLine towers accept Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) to help deter theft of the rack. It’s a simple upgrade that keeps your setup protected wherever your adventures take you.

Everything came in a timely manner and ready to install. Looks great, solid rack.
You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze. For the money I wish they came with the core locks.
The items ordered fit great and were delivered promptly! Etrailer came through with product options, fit for my vehicle, and great pricing. Will use again for sure!
All parts arrived in good order, haven't completed assembly yet as I had cross threaded one of the support brackets. Hopefully soon
The fit is good, but there was a mistake in Yakima’s fit guide for my 2020 Kia Soul. Yakima said to use the 28mm screws but those would not reach the threads. The 33mm screws (which were also included) worked perfectly.
Yakima is always great, the bars are just right for my kayaks and look great too.
Used these on my 2011 BMW 335. It took a little while to get the threads to catch on the roof attachment the first time I installed them. Otherwise they do what they are supposed to do and don't scratch the roof.
Happy with the purchase. Crossbars shipped and received quickly.
Easy to install and met my need for hauling a kayak.
Product required a bit of customizing because the pads are a little tall and hollow, so when you tighten center bolt, pad will try to collapse inwards unless you find a proper spacer in length under the pad (NOT PROVIDED BY YAKIMA, NOT ETRAILER'S FAULT), but once that spacer was put in place, it turned out beautifully.
These crossbars were easy to install and adjust. Be sure to get all the pieces you need. There is no mention of the Landing Pads necessary to use these.
Over the years I have purchased many items from etrailer.com. They have great customer service, fast and free shipping. The product they carry are industry proven and of high quality. I have been very satisfied with their service.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
My son is very pleased with his Yakima Rack. Glad HE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE ! Iam back on line to order his bike attachments.
Work exactly as they should and hold everything securely to my vehicle without interfering with the car’s normal operation. etrailer had best prices based on my research. These bars are much quieter than traditional round bars and worth the added expense.
Hats off to etrailer and Lori B. Had ordered the wrong roof crossbars for my daughter's 2021 Kia Soul. Called on a Sunday, the day after Chritmas and Lori B answered the phone. Told her my issue within 5 minutes problem was resolved and the " Right" parts were headed my way. Outstanding Customer Service thank you so much. Customer for life!
Easy to install thanks to the etrailer video. I have used the rack system on many long distance trips including driving from South Carolina to Yellowstone.
Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.
Yakima Landing Pad 22 is the only product I could find that is suitable for my Mercedes E450 Coupe. The car's panoramic glass extends close to where the fixed mounting points are, but Yakima has accounted for that by designing the LP 22 so that the small part that sits on the glass is not transferring the load. Also, the LP22 accommodates the flip-open doors for the four fixed mounting points on the Mercedes. Yakima instruction manual and etrailer.com videos are highly useful.
Only complaint is with the LP 22 Covers, which are supplied for when the roof rack (Towers and Crossbars) are removed. These covers are not usable - they do not snap into place and appear as if they were designed for a different landing pad. This is not a deal breaker for me because I remove the LP 22s whenever I remove the roof rack, but it will likely be a concern for others.
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
Strong, Solid Bars, Super Light, and really easy to install!
Very happy with our purchase. I love how easily you can remove the entire rack easily. Too bad the locking mechanism comes separately but we are still happy with what we received.
Great quality! They come with two different style bases. One flat, and one that is stepped to account for the raised area near the gutter trim. Good variety of screws to meet your application. My 2015 Mazda 3 (with fixed points) needed the medium length screws. Seems very solid!
I left the plastic gutter moldings on and just drilled holes for the screws to go through.
