These Yakima JetStream crossbars give you a sturdy setup for all kinds of gear. The aluminum build keeps the system lightweight but solid under load, with a 165-lb capacity that’s ready for kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes. The 60" long bars have an aero-style shape that cuts through the air quietly and efficiently while offering room for multiple attachments.
Mounting accessories doesn’t have to mean breaking out a knife or scissors. The rubber strips in the top channels push down to let you slide in your carrier hardware—no trimming required. When you’re done, they close back up to seal out wind and reduce vibration and noise on the road.
Whether you already have gear from Yakima or other brands, these bars are made to work with it. The top channels accept channel-mount carriers for a clean look, and the bar shape also fits clamp-on gear from most universal cargo, water, snow, and bike carriers. You can mix and match setups season after season without replacing your rack.
When your vehicle’s parked at the trailhead or campsite, you can add Yakima Same Key System lock cores (sold separately) to help deter theft of the rack itself. It’s an easy way to keep your setup secure when you’re away from it.
The SkyLine towers connect cleanly to your roof’s fixed mounting points for a solid, stable base. This setup gives you a confident fit that feels built-in rather than bolted on. Once installed, it’s ready to haul whatever gear your next trip calls for.

Landing pads arrived in the promised time frame. Box was in good condition and product worked great
looks good on car. easy install. easy on - off. looks strong. BUT incredibly noisy. I will have to buy the wind gaurd. They might as well include it because its no good without. now i will have to pay for shipping for the gaurd. I will remove it when not in use. Next life I'll try "the other guy"
The rep from etrailer (Noah conformed my online order, made certain my order was correct for the vehicle I was outfitting and made certain I received my order items on time before my trip. This company is great!
Yakima is always great, the bars are just right for my kayaks and look great too.
Happy with the purchase. Crossbars shipped and received quickly.
Fit my nissan nv200 no problem. Comes with different size and length bolts to fit multible vehicles. Directions did tell me to use different size bolts thay clearly were the wrong ones but it was easy to figure it out. Also: u need all 3 products to complete ur roof rack system.
Easy to install and met my need for hauling a kayak.
A rack for Porsches for lessFor those Porsche owners put off by the price of the Porsche Roof Transport System, try Yakima. For significantly less, you get a solid rack which uses your Porsche mounting points and since it is a component system, it fits both Caymans and Carreras.
Just installed to my 08' Subaru Impreza using the factory bolting mounts. Easy setup did in about an hour or so including my Yakima High Roller bike rack. Seems sturdy, hopefully so to carry my heavy downhill mountain bike!
My roof rack arrived as promised and in good condition. Your web site was very useful in instructing the installation and how the parts matched with my other accessories. I did have a struggle lining up the screw holes, but with patience I succeeded.
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.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
Yakima Roof Rack for BMWI ordered a yakima roof rack for my BMW during the mad rush of Christmas shopping and have received everything need for the assembly in a very short amount of time. I have even received follow up emails telling me the status of the shipping as well as a courtesy email. I also found that etrailer.com is also much cheaper than other retail stores such as REI. I highly recommend using etrailer.com!
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.
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.
Simple installation to vehicle with supplied hardware and tools. Once these bases are installed to the vehicle, it is simple for a single person to install and remove crossbars and towers in just a couple of minutes.
I got my new landing pads the day they said it would arrive. The pads were in their original yakima packaging, properly packed and overboxed. I work for a logistics company so I know the importance of getting product to a customer on time and exceeding their expectations. Very well done etrailer.com! The landing pads is just part of what I needed, and with the discount code included for my next purchase, I will be back. Thanks again.
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.
These bars worked great for the roof rack on our truck. Thank you!
Very good product. The Yakama towers and cross bars feel very solid and appears to be high quality. Very easy install. Others have complained about the instructions, but guess I'm a visual person because the pictures all seemed very clear to me and the install was very easy. They do sit higher than I expected. After adding a Rhino Rack cargo basket, we only have about 4-5" clearance below the garage door.
We purchased the Yakima Skyline Towers roof rack with the Jet Stream crossbars. Took about 2 hours to install on the naked roof of our Flex. I drilled through the roof strip for the mounting bolts and they fit tighter than the factory rails. Very happy with our choice.
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!
My experience with etrailer has been excellent. There was going to be a potential delay in one of the products, but their customer service promptly informed me, half the price of some of their competitors so can't really complain. In the end they got the part ahead of schedule and was able to ship in a timely manner. I will definitely keep them in mind for future purchases.
At first, a little tricky to install, as the kit comes with hardware for a variety of applications (different length/size bolts, etc). But after a quick look at the directions and identifying which bolt to use for my car, install was a breeze. I love this Yakima setup because I can remove the bars/towers and leave the landing pads with a cap. Makes it great for taking the canoe out on weekend trips, but not taking the fuel-economy hit during the weekday commute to work.

After a year, the landing pads look like new and have worked out spectacularly. Ive tested the pads on/off the car, and they havent affected fuel economy aero drag at all, so I just leave them on. Id highly recommend these, and I appreciate etrailers video tutorial before I purchased the product!
