When you’re loading up heavy gear like kayaks, canoes, or camping equipment, you want bars that can handle the weight and the miles. These steel RoundBars give you a solid 165-lb capacity and the strength that comes from galvanized construction. The black vinyl coating keeps rust at bay and helps the bars hold up through years of road trips and outdoor runs.
Getting a rack onto a roof without rails can be tricky, but this setup makes it straightforward. Everything you need is in the box—2 RoundBars, 4 BaseLine towers, 4 adapters, and a custom fit kit for your vehicle. Once installed, you’ve got a dependable base that grips your roof securely without extra add-ons or guesswork.
No matter what kind of adventure you’re planning, these round crossbars make it easy to bring your gear along. The shape works with accessories and carriers that clamp around the bars, so you can haul kayaks, cargo boxes, or bikes without swapping out mounts. It’s a setup built to work across seasons and sports.
When you park at a trailhead or stop overnight on a trip, it’s good to have peace of mind. The towers are ready for Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately), so you can secure the rack right to your roof. That extra protection means your gear stays where you left it.
A solid roof rack should last as long as your adventures do. These bars are made from steel with a durable black finish and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. They’re built to handle the load, the weather, and whatever roads you take next.

Been using Yakima products for decades. First use as a teen on a 1974 Chrysler Newport for a canoe. Still buying their products. Handing down canoe with Yakima racks for their vehicle. Why change a good combination?
So far so good. Have had hitch for a year and it’s a game changer. Can reveal it quickly and throw on a bike rack to carry 4 bikes including an ebike. Amazes me that it’s so solid. But it is. And invisible when not in use
I bought a new bottom plastic panel for my Tesla model 3 from Tesla.
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.
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.
functioned as promised
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.
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.
Great UX for finding the options matching my car, and the baseline towers work great. Simple straightforward site, will plan to use them again when needed.
For those also buying crossbars for cars without roof rails, recommend taking a silver sharpie and marking the placement of the crossbars on the weather seal at the top of the door openings. Makes putting them back on way less of a hassle if you don’t want them on 24/7.
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.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
Excellent service and fast shipping.
Straightforward installation to adapt the new SkyLine towers to the standard Yakima round bars.
As all yakima products not the cheapest but work
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!
Great product haven’t had any issues with it. Would highly recommend that anyone that’s looking for a roof rack system and a great seller at etrailer
Customer service was extremely helpful in finding the exact replacement parts needed for my old car!
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.
High quality. Adapter to use modern towers with my 2003 round tube cross members.
The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.
I'm a repeat customer at etrailer several times now, and with good reason. They have provided what I needed in terms of both product and assistance reliably and promptly. The best online supplier I have found.
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.
I was converting a roof rack from my Jeep Cherokee (factory rails) to my RAM 2500 truck (naked roof). While I could use my old Jetstream crossbars, I needed new towers and clips for the truck. There was an error in my original order, the representative thought she was sending me two pairs of clips. I understand the mixup because the Clip box said two meaning 2 clips rather than two pair. etrailer sent another pair immediately and waived the shipping. I like customer service is available and knowledgable. I would give them a five if they hadn't mixed up the first order.
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.
