When you’re hauling heavy gear for a weekend on the water or a long road trip, you want crossbars that stay solid and steady. The Yakima SkyLine Roof Rack uses aluminum construction that gives it strength without adding unnecessary weight. With a 165-lb weight capacity, these bars handle kayaks, cargo boxes, or other equipment reliably through every mile.
Wind noise can get old fast on long drives. The aerodynamic JetStream crossbars cut through the air smoothly, helping reduce that constant hum and vibration. The rubber strips in the top channels also help quiet things down while sealing out airflow. It’s the difference between shouting over the wind and cruising in peace.
Many racks make you trim rubber strips before mounting gear, but these JetStream bars skip that step. The push-down rubber strips let you press your carriers or accessories directly into the track—no cutting needed. When your mounts are in place, the strips close back up to keep things clean and quiet.
Whether it’s a kayak trip, skiing weekend, or cross-country drive with a cargo box, this roof rack is built to handle it all. The aero-style crossbars fit accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so your existing carriers and future gear will fit right in. From paddleboards to roof boxes, it’s a rack that keeps up with whatever you’re hauling next.
If you want to lock everything down, Yakima’s Same Key System (SKS) lock cores are available separately to help deter theft of the rack. It’s an easy upgrade that adds peace of mind when you walk away from your vehicle after a long day of adventure.

My order was different. I only needed half of everything. Natalie was great. Lots of help, made everything easy, and followed up. Shipping was fast, too. I recommend these folks.
Quality product, timely shipping, transported with care. Packaging received fully intact with no damage.
Thank you etrailer for yet another great ordering experience!
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.
This company is great! I was looking everywhere for a set of crossbars that would fit my pop up camper. After not being satisfied with the options I called the customer service line and spoke with Crystal. She was great at recommending which parts would work on my camper. I had a lot of questions and she answered them all. If she didn't know the answer she found out for me. I installed my new crossbars on my camper this afternoon and they fit perfectly! They're solid as a rock! I'm so excited to use them!
Was very pleased with the Yakima racks and installation was a snap! First time customer of etrailer and was elated with whole experience! Shipping was lighting fast too!!! Will do business again...
Om my 1996 Ford Explorer, after the plastic factory cross bars failed, I was able to use the etrailer web site and tech support to determine that landing pads were available that fit the factory track and would allow me to use my Yakima towers and round bars. This was a great fix!
It was what it was advertised and fit perfectly on my 2023 Ford Maverick
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help 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 load bars are GREAT! I specifically bought these because they can comfortably handle any kind of sheet goods, including baltic birch plywood which comes in 5'x5' panels; it's much easier to securely strap down plywood when it's not hanging off the ends of the load bars.
These extruded aluminum bars are light enough that they're not a hassle to install and remove - I only put them on briefly when I need them, so I've had them on and off a dozen or so times and it's easily a one-person task.
They are of course very long, so I can't deny that there's more opportunity to bang your head on them when getting in/out of the car, but they are no wider than the footprint of the car (Subaru Outback) itself so they're not at risk of hitting a pedestrian or anything.
These will mount to the rhino rack tracks so I could use my Yakima control towers and rack.
I've been using the roof rack a lot in the last year for recreation and for work. They give me confidence that the load will stay put, and arrive safely. I also take them off frequently since they hum happily at highway speeds, so I'm happy that the bars are easy to lock on or take off.
First trip with the new rail system and it looks like it worked out just fine. Thanks to both of you and Kimberly for all of your help and follow up I do appreciate it.

Bought these Landing Pad 1 bases to use with Yakima tracks on a Leer camper shell on my 2016 F150. The bases are very easy to install and worked perfect with my Control towers. Great quality as expected with Yakima.
Very good, was just what I needed.
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.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
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.
with so many variables having someone that could sort through all them was very helpful Thanks etrailer
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.
The JetStream crossbars are awesome. Unfortunately the box that these came ' in was damaged, and when I opened it both crossbars had scratches. It is only cosmetic, but when you pay top dollars for a good product you expect that it will be well packaged so is not damaged when shipped. If it wasn’t for the damaged packaging and scratches I would give it 5 starts.
Excellent crossbar! Quiet and much more durable than the original PVC coated steel.
Fit good with the OE track on roof. I like the new covers they supplied with the mounts.
Crossbars were supposed to have a blemish of some kind, but I couldn’t find it. Look to be new and in perfect condition. Very happy with my purchase and will definitely be looking to etrailer.com before purchasing from another site. Great communication, answered any questions in a timely manner. Thanks for your customer service.
