Features to know about

Keep a Clean Look on Top: Flush, Factory-Style Bars

The flush design of the Yakima SightLine FX keeps the bars tight to the roofline for a factory-installed look. With no crossbar overhang, the system stays sleek and minimal so it doesn’t distract from the vehicle’s lines. The integrated tower and crossbar setup installs directly to flush rails, giving a solid, low-profile fit that looks right at home.

Cut Down on Road Noise: Aerodynamic JetStream Crossbars with Rubber Strips

Long trips are quieter thanks to the aero-style JetStream crossbars. Their shape helps manage airflow while push-down rubber strips fill the top channels to reduce whistling and vibration. Together they keep wind noise and drag under control, making highway drives smoother and less tiring.

Carry Gear for Any Adventure: Channel-Mount and Clamp-On Compatibility

These crossbars let you bring just about any gear along for the ride. The top channels work with channel-mount accessories, while the bar shape also supports clamp-on carriers. That means you can use most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo mounts you already own—perfect for switching between kayaks in summer and cargo boxes for road trips.

Built to Handle Real Loads: Strong Aluminum Construction

With a 165-lb weight capacity (always follow your vehicle’s roof load limit), this aluminum rack system is built for hauling serious gear. The durable material resists corrosion while keeping overall weight low, so you can load up confidently whether it’s camping equipment, watercraft, or travel gear.

Protect What You Pack: Optional Locking Security

Add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) to help deter theft of both the rack and any channel-mount accessories. It’s an easy upgrade that adds peace of mind when your setup is parked overnight or left at the trailhead.

Great products. Great service!

This roof rack has served me well over the year, currently has Thule snowboard rack/ will switch to a box in the future. it was pretty easy to install and is very sturdy.
by:
Kit was great! Service rep was excellent and really helped out!
by:
Seamless ordering and blazing fast delivery. What’s not to love?
by:
The SightClips with bases were very easy to use with my Yakima Ridgeline Roof Towers. When the towers are loosened and off of the vehicle the clips can come off, but it is really no big deal. I just take the off when not using the rack. When I put the the rack back on I only put the inner clips on before putting the rack on the roof. Then I add the outer clips and snug everything down. It is much easier that way.

One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.

Extremely happy with this product. High quality and well made. They are working well.

My only complaint is the time it took to get my order. I understand this was out of your hands and dependent on supply problems.

  • What is the Best Roof Rack for a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander w/ No Roof Rails?
    Congrats on the new vehicle! The best option to add a flush mount roof rack to your 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander with a naked roof and no rails is to use the roof rack by Yakima which includes the following parts: Yakima SightLine FX Roof Rack for Flush Side Rails - Aero Crossbars - Black - Qty 2 item # Y53UV SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine and RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers item # Y24UR This roof rack has a 165 lbs capacity and will not extend past the mounting legs.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2024 Kia Niro EV
    Hey William, for your 2024 Kia Niro EV I would recommend the flush bar roof rack from Yakima that consists of part numbers # Y53UV and # Y27AR. This will give you a really well made roof rack that is very quiet and looks OEM. If you prefer a roof rack that has more crossbar space the Jetstream rack part numbers # Y00428 # Y64AR and # Y27AR would be a great option as well. The bars of this rack attach to the top of the feet of the roof rack instead of in between them like on the flush...

  • Will Yakima FlushBar Crossbars Fit 2018 Infiniti QX30
    I have a similar roof rack for you but the FlushBar Crossbars # Y00456-2 do not fit the 2018 Infiniti QX30. What you can use instead is the Yakima SightLine FX Roof Rack for Flush Side Rails # Y53UV. These have the same flush design and use the JetStream bars so they are extremely quiet. You will also need the SightClip Fit Kit # Y35CR.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford Edge with Panoramic Sunroof
    We have a variety of roof rack options that fit your 2017 Ford Edge with the glass roof but I really like the Yakima JetStream system because it's fine-tuned to fit your vehicle like a glove and keep the crossbars level with each other. The correct parts will depend on if you have the flush rails or a naked roof.

  • Will 2 of The Yakima JayLow Kayak Carriers Fit On Roof of a 2022 Hyundai Palisade?
    Yes, you are going to be able to use 2 of the Yakima JayLow Kayak Roof Racks # Y04073 with either the Thule Edge or Yakima Sightline FX kits listed below. Personally with the height of your 2022 Hyundai Palisade I would go with the more standard Thule EVO or Yakima Sightline kits which have the crossbar extending out further. This will also allow for the use of a Load Assist # RR-RUSL so you are less likely to drop your heavy kayak both when loading and unloading. Thule Edge Crossbars...

  • What Crossbars Fit My 2022 Hyundai Palisade with Flush Rails?

You will need the following parts: Yakima crossbars: # Y00428 Yakima towers: # Y64AR Yakima fit kit: # Y79AR The weight capacity is 165lbs, but you'll want to verify the weight rating of your vehicle's roof by checking the owner's manual.

  • Fitment of 2 Rhino-Rack Kayak Carriers # S512-S512X to Transport 4 Kayaks on a 2022 Hyundai Palisade
    Yes! You can use 2 sets of the Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier # S512-S512X to transport 4 kayaks on your crossbars. Since one of these sets takes up roughly 20" of crossbar space, you need to have al least 40" of usable crossbar length on your roof rack to accommodate 2 of the # S512-S512X. You do not need to worry about additional straps because the carriers come with all the straps you need. If you need a compatible crossbar system with the length you need, the parts you need depend on if...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Ford Edge with Panoramic Sunroof and Flush Side Rails
    For the best appearance, low-noise and long-term durability I recommend an aluminum aero-style roof rack. This type will be lighter than a steel bar rack, naturally non-corrosive and quieter in operation; and for this, I highly recommend going with Yakima for overall durability, noise reduction and ease of use. The Yakima rack that fits your 2017 Ford Edge with panoramic glass and flush side rails consists of parts # Y00428, # Y79AR, and # Y64AR.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Fairing for a 2020 Hyundai Palisade
    Although the Rola 59762 roof rack isn't a fit for your 2020 Hyundai Palisade, I'd be happy to make a recommendation. The rack you need will depend on what's currently on the roof of your Palisade, if it's a bare roof or has flush mounted side rails. If you have a bare roof, a round-bar roof rack from Yakima would be your most economical option. The rack would consist of the following parts: -Round crossbars, part # Y00409 -BaseLine Towers, part # Y28TR -Round Bar Adapter, part # Y03536 -Vehicle...

  • What Do I Need to Mount a Cargo Box on a 2020 Hyundai Palisade?
    In order to have a cargo box on your 2020 Hyundai Palisade, you will need a roof rack system with crossbars in order for you to mount the box and cargo. Compatible systems depend on whether your vehicle has a bare roof or flush factory side rails. If your vehicle has a bare roof, I recommend the following parts: - Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # Y00422 - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR - BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine...
