These galvanized steel crossbars give you the solid backbone you need for hauling heavy loads up top. With a weight capacity of 165 lbs, they can handle kayaks, canoes, or a fully packed cargo box with confidence. The black vinyl coating keeps the steel protected from corrosion, so the bars stay strong and ready for years of use on road trips and outdoor excursions.
Everything you need for a full roof rack is in the box—2 RoundBars, 4 SkyLine towers, 4 RoundBar adapters, and a custom fit kit. That means no hunting down separate pieces or mixing parts from different systems. It’s a clean, straightforward setup built to work together right out of the gate.
These round crossbars are made to fit the widest range of gear mounts and carriers that clamp around the bars. From kayak cradles and cargo boxes to ski and board holders, you can use the same setup for all your hobbies without switching systems. It’s one rack that’s ready for whatever season comes next.
The towers install to fixed mounting points on your roof for a stable, custom connection that stays put at highway speeds. And if you want to add an extra layer of protection, you can upgrade with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) to help deter theft when your vehicle is parked overnight or at the trailhead.
The black vinyl-coated steel not only looks clean but also shields against rust from rain, salt spray, and sun exposure. Whether it’s a weekend by the lake or a long-distance camping trip, this rugged finish helps keep your gear riding safe on top no matter what the weather throws your way.

Product worked well with my already installed Yakima rails and the towers attached to bars that I use on another vehicle. Easily installed. Now I can switch the kayak carrying Yakima bar and tower rigs from one vehicle to the other with minimal effort.
What I ordered arrived.
Ordered new towers and clips so as to use my old-school round bars (I bought these at least 18 years ago, maybe even earlier) and bike and canoe accessories on a new vehicle (naked roof 2018 CR-V). Installation was tedious, as usual, but not difficult and the written instructions were straightforward. Youtube helpful too but not necessary. Have hauled bikes and the canoe in high wind on the interstate (no more than 65 mph though) on the CR-V and so far so good. Have had excellent results with Yakima racks on 3 vehicles now (2 sedans and now the CR-V) over last 28 yrs. This is my first purchase through etrailer. Very pleased. Good price, excellent service online and via phone, rapid delivery. Highly recommend.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
As always an exceptionally well designed, quality product. Yakima has never disappointed me for more than 25 years now. I still use some of my original rack package. etrailer, per usual, had a great price and wonderful instructional videos. Shipping was fast and everything was perfect. It’s amazing that Yakima can make racks fit so many cars like it was a custom job. This was just a piece of an entire roof rack base with cross bars. Excellent stuff
Installation of the hitch, wiring,rear bike rack, and new roof rack towers went well. I didn't set any speed records, but I was more concerned with doing no damage on a new 2019 Toyota Sienna AWD van. The hitch fit up well per instructions except that I was able to work around the exhaust without lowering it. Underbody panel and rear fascia did both need to be removed. Very happy with the end result. The new van is now set up to haul the bikes and canoes and move my log splitter.
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.
The crossbars are outstanding they are working perfectly with the towers I had to buy for my Honda odyssey roof rack I forgot the name of them I have my YAKIMA space Cadet rocket box on top of the bars in addition to my YAKIMA ski racks
Great first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
I received the Rain gutter riser, 66' round bars, boat loader and SKS lock cores all well packaged and in good shape. These are for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon. The products were easy to install and will work great for loading and transporting my Hobie Outfitter Kayak. The Outfitter is a heavy kayak at 75 lbs unloaded. The Yakama Boat loader makes it easy for one person to load and unload the kayak. The rain gutter mounts and round bars securely hold the kayak for transportation. When not transporting the kayak the whole system quickly removes.
A big plus with ordering through etrailer is the excellent custom service, they will be my go to for future orders.
with so many variables having someone that could sort through all them was very helpful Thanks etrailer
Product works as advertised thus far. When you buy the yakima towers, you are required to purchase these as well to fit the rounder bars (I feel sure there are other adapters for other bar shapes). These should have come with the towers in my opinion, and I resented having to shell out more $$ to purchase these "must have" adapters to mount my bars. 3 star overall rating based on function, price. Delivery and packaging was top-notch through etrailer.
functioned as promised
Honestly, I love etrailer. I love the expert help that you all provide. It's clear by the 1 year follow-ups that you care more about the relationships with your customers then just making a sale. Your service is friendly, informative and fast. I always come here first to look for my next purchase. Thanks again-Rob.
Excellent service and fast shipping.
Straightforward installation to adapt the new SkyLine towers to the standard Yakima round bars.
The yellow pads on the crossbars are pool noodles secured by zip ties. They provide padding for a third or even a fourth kayak.
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!
As all yakima products not the cheapest but work
Customer service was extremely helpful in finding the exact replacement parts needed for my old car!
Fit good with the OE track on roof. I like the new covers they supplied with the mounts.
excellent and very fast service
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.
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.
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.
