The Yakima SkyLine FX Roof Rack keeps things looking clean and purposeful. Its flush design means the 45-1/2" long aluminum crossbars sit tight to the roofline with no bar ends sticking out. The streamlined setup gives your vehicle that factory-installed look, not an aftermarket add-on vibe. It’s a low-profile system that blends right in while staying functional.
Nothing spoils a drive faster than a constant roof rack whistle. These aero-style crossbars are shaped to cut through the wind, while push-down rubber strips fill the top channels to help reduce wind noise and vibration. The strips also stay in place when you install channel-mount accessories, sealing up the gaps so you get a quieter ride every time you hit the highway.
Whether it’s a kayak, cargo box, or bike carrier, this rack plays nice with all kinds of gear. The JetStream-style bars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, giving you freedom to use what you already own. You can switch from watersports to winter gear to camping setups without needing a new rack each time.
When you’re loading up for a big haul, you want confidence in your gear. The integrated crossbar and tower system installs directly to fixed mounting points, creating a sturdy base rated for 165 lbs (always check your vehicle’s roof limit). The aluminum construction is both strong and lightweight, backed by Yakima’s limited lifetime warranty, so it’s built to handle years of trips without worry.
If you want extra peace of mind when parked overnight or at a trailhead, the SkyLine FX is ready for Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). Once added, they secure both the rack and any channel-mount accessories so your setup stays put until you’re ready to roll again.

as advertised quickly shipped
Love the addition to my Impreza! Definitely going to get some attachments!
Rook Rack went on easy and looks great
Fit our vehicle great, thanks to Tim M. for helping us find the right parts!
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
Parts arrived quickly. Installation was a breeze. Everything needed for a quick and professional installation was included in the shipment.
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.
All parts arrived in good order, haven't completed assembly yet as I had cross threaded one of the support brackets. Hopefully soon
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!
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.
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.
My son is very pleased with his Yakima Rack. Glad HE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE ! Iam back on line to order his bike attachments.
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!
Top of the line!!
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.
Everything came in a timely manner and ready to install. Looks great, solid rack.
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.
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.
Everything was easy to set up and works perfect! I love being able to take off the roof racks when not in use, it’s extremely easy and convenient.
