Features to know about

Keep Your Setup Simple: Complete Roof Rack System for Naked Roofs

The Yakima BaseLine FX roof rack comes as a full system with two integrated crossbars, towers, and a custom fit kit—all designed for naked roofs. You don’t need to piece together multiple parts or guess what fits. It installs directly on the roof and gives you a solid platform ready for your gear.

Avoid Awkward Overhang: Flush, Factory-Look Bars

The flush-mount design keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline for a clean, built-in appearance. Nothing sticks out past the sides, so the rack looks like part of the vehicle instead of an add-on. The compact 48-3/4" long bars maintain a low, aerodynamic profile that blends right in.

Cut Down on Road Noise: Aero-Style Crossbars with Rubber Strips

These aluminum crossbars have an aero-style shape that helps reduce drag and wind noise when you’re driving. Push-down rubber strips in the top channels seal around accessories and help cut vibration, keeping your setup quiet on highway trips or long drives with gear up top.

Take What You Want on Every Trip: Works with Channel-Mount and Clamp-On Accessories

The bars are ready for just about any adventure. They work with both channel-mount accessories that slide into the top channels and clamp-on carriers that wrap around the bars. That means you can load up bikes, kayaks, skis, or a cargo box without changing your setup every time.

Protect Your Investment: Lock Compatibility for Added Security

You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores—sold separately—to help deter theft of the rack or any channel-mounted accessories. It’s an easy upgrade that keeps your gear secure when the vehicle’s parked at camp, the trailhead, or anywhere in between.

2018 Toyota Camry
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.

Nice! Glad to hear that your roof rack is working well for you. Thanks for sending the photos!

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!

We're glad we could help Alex, nice truck!!

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.
by:
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.
by:
Rack is still on the car one year later. Yakima doesn’t have a replacement cover for the tower, which is flimsy.

I’ve lost a second cover. Some shifting of the rack but I use it weekly.

I'm a repeat customer at etrailer several times now, and with good reason. They have provided what I needed in terms of both product and assistance reliably and promptly. The best online supplier I have found.
by:
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!

The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.

I have a 10th gen Civic sedan and I was dying to get the perfect roof rack set for my car. At the time of my purchase there was not many visuals of what the rack system looked like on this car.

I purchased the:

•Yakima 50in Jetstream crossbars
•Yakima baseline towers
•bc182 & bc183 clips
•Yakima 46in fairing

Overall I love how it looks on my car! During This COVID pandemic I have been camping more, and this is the perfect foundation! First off, the 46in fairing is the perfect fit for the 10th gen civic! Wind noise is low also with the help of the aerodynamic crossbars. My main concern was the fuel efficiency. On long road trips I still average 38-40 mpg with the rack on. My daily commutes I average 34 mpg without Econ on.
by:
Now that was fast, the go to place to find unique, hard to get and out of stock items for your RV, Camping and Trailering needs. Awesome service and work everyone.
by:
From start to finish, the folks at etrailer -- and I spoke to several people there, so it was a consistent corporate vibe -- were fantastic to deal with.

There were delays in getting my product that were on the supplier side and out of eTrailer's control, yet etrailer folks kept me up to date and also worked on a customized solution.

My goal was to be able to carry my surfboard on the roof of our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe to the beach more than 3 hours away. But the particular model we had had no existing racks, no recessed areas, nothing to fix racks to. Not even the dealer had a solution. I was sh*t out of luck.

But etrailer hooked me up. The racks did take me a while to put on, but most of that time was fine tuning to reduce “hum” while driving. I’m very happy with them.

Thanks to etrailer, I have gone surfing and can go surfing whenever I'd like to.

2-years into owning my system: I have had the rack on the vehicle for 2-years and never removed it. Every 3-4 months i check the performance of the base clips and they have never come lose. I think best practice is to always check the stability of the rack however i have never had a problem and the system has always stayed tight and firm. Its been a great system for the vehicle.

by:
I ordered the Yakima "aero" bars , baseline towers, and BaseClip kits for my 2019 Honda Civic 5 door. While expensive the quality is excellent and it was a pleasure to assemble such a high quality and precision engineered product. It fits perfectly on my new car and the "aero" bars are quiet even at freeway speeds. Highly recommended.

3 years ago etrailer helped me to fit Yakima racks on my Honda Accord so that I could carry my kayake.
I got a new Honda Accord this year and only had to replace the baseline towers and can still use the other parts.
It was pretty easy to install with good directions.
by:
The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. They provided a nice, flush finish and hold the racks down tight.

Still amazing, easy to clip on and off between road trips. Sturdy an well made.

by:
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.
by:
These are great, and it is so nice to get a custom base clips that match the angles and contour of the sides of your roof. Makes it look very clean. These are made very well and for sure these will last a long time like my other Yakima products.
