The flush design of the Yakima BaseLine FX keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline, giving your setup a clean, factory look. With no crossbar overhang, everything appears streamlined and intentional. It’s a complete roof rack system that includes 2 BaseLine FX crossbars with towers and a custom fit kit, so it sits low and looks like it belongs there.
Wind noise can make a long drive tiring, but these aero-style aluminum crossbars are built to help reduce it. Their aerodynamic shape smooths airflow over the roof, while push-down rubber strips in the top channels close around your mounts to cut down on whistling and vibration. The result is a quieter, more comfortable ride whether you’re heading down the highway or cruising through town.
This rack makes it easy to bring what you need for every trip. The bars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars—so your bike racks, kayak cradles, ski carriers, and cargo boxes can all be part of the same setup. Plus, Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) can be added to help deter theft of both the rack and channel-mounted gear.
You can count on the strength of an aluminum build that’s designed to carry up to 165 lbs—just remember to observe your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity. Each bar measures 44-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall or 48-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall, giving plenty of support for your cargo. It’s a sturdy system that holds up for all kinds of adventures while keeping weight down and durability high.
When you invest in a Yakima rack, it’s built to go the distance. The BaseLine FX comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so you can load up your gear knowing it’s designed for years of reliable use in all kinds of weather and travel conditions.

Perfect fit! Who’s recommend and repurchase if I need for another vehicle
Got me just what I needed and fast! Thank you’
The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. They provided a nice, flush finish and hold the racks down tight.

Hyundai Sonata - glass pano roof. These items have been on for about 1-year. So happy with the set up. I’ve take a road bike and a mountain bike on 500+ mile trips. The mounts do an excellent job.
Great service from my knowledgeable salesperson and the product installed easily and performs perfectly.
3 years ago etrailer helped me to fit Yakima racks on my Honda Accord so that I could carry my kayake.
I got a new Honda Accord this year and only had to replace the baseline towers and can still use the other parts.
It was pretty easy to install with good directions.
I ordered the Yakima "aero" bars , baseline towers, and BaseClip kits for my 2019 Honda Civic 5 door. While expensive the quality is excellent and it was a pleasure to assemble such a high quality and precision engineered product. It fits perfectly on my new car and the "aero" bars are quiet even at freeway speeds. Highly recommended.
Excellent fit and held solid on my '23 Ford Maverick pick-up for the entire canoeing season. When removed this Fall there was no sign they were ever there.
Now that was fast, the go to place to find unique, hard to get and out of stock items for your RV, Camping and Trailering needs. Awesome service and work everyone.
From start to finish, the folks at etrailer -- and I spoke to several people there, so it was a consistent corporate vibe -- were fantastic to deal with.
There were delays in getting my product that were on the supplier side and out of eTrailer's control, yet etrailer folks kept me up to date and also worked on a customized solution.
My goal was to be able to carry my surfboard on the roof of our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe to the beach more than 3 hours away. But the particular model we had had no existing racks, no recessed areas, nothing to fix racks to. Not even the dealer had a solution. I was sh*t out of luck.
But etrailer hooked me up. The racks did take me a while to put on, but most of that time was fine tuning to reduce “hum” while driving. I’m very happy with them.
Thanks to etrailer, I have gone surfing and can go surfing whenever I'd like to.
I have a 10th gen Civic sedan and I was dying to get the perfect roof rack set for my car. At the time of my purchase there was not many visuals of what the rack system looked like on this car.
I purchased the:
•Yakima 50in Jetstream crossbars
•Yakima baseline towers
•bc182 & bc183 clips
•Yakima 46in fairing
Overall I love how it looks on my car! During This COVID pandemic I have been camping more, and this is the perfect foundation! First off, the 46in fairing is the perfect fit for the 10th gen civic! Wind noise is low also with the help of the aerodynamic crossbars. My main concern was the fuel efficiency. On long road trips I still average 38-40 mpg with the rack on. My daily commutes I average 34 mpg without Econ on.
It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service
The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.
High quality and all. But my old Yakima rack setup stayed together. The cover was part of a lever to tighten clips. The clips were captured in the assembly. New design the cover and clips need to be completely removed. Need a torque Allen wrench to install every time. Loose parts become Easter egg hunts. Am sure this is to sailer proof mount--that truly is impossible!
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.
Rack is still on the car one year later. Yakima doesn’t have a replacement cover for the tower, which is flimsy.
Awesome system. Was extremely easy to put together and to space out with the given tools and equipment.
The team is amazing, fast, and responsive! 10/10 will be ordering again from here for all my needs.
I was able to use these clips to mount a roof rack and roof box on my Audi that had a naked roof, and they did the job! I took it on a 1,200 mile road trip and after I returned there wasn’t any damage to the paint, and even though there are rubber inserts on the inside of the clip to prevent scratches I was still a bit surprised.
If you don’t have roof rails on your car, these definitely help!

The racks are easy to remove and reinstall once they are set up. My only complaint is that Yakama only seems to make the base clips in one length. This limits the distance that I can separate the bars to 32 inches. They don't reach under the door sill if I move them further back. If they stamped them out in a few different lengths one would have more options in terms of distance between the bars.
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.
I was in dire need of finding a cross bar system to mount a 18cu foot Yakima cargo carrier for an upcoming camping trip and etrailer did me an enormous favor by using there website to find the correct system for my 2018 Toyota Camry. I was very pleased that the website confirmed the fitment and provided the whole kit with not just the towers and cross bars but also the clips to mount to a naked roof. So far the mounting was pretty straightforward as long as you follow the directions thoroughly. I drove 5 hours through a wind storm in SoCal with a box mounted and the system held up perfectly fine with no issues or hiccups. 10/10 recommend.
