When you’re loading up for camping, paddling, or cross-country trips, strength matters. The Yakima SkyLine Roof Rack system is built from aluminum and rated for up to 165 lbs, giving you the solid support you need for heavier cargo like roof tents or multiple kayaks. It’s sturdy enough to handle serious outdoor setups without flexing or rattling when the road gets rough.
Nothing ruins a road trip like constant wind noise. The JetStream crossbars on this setup use an aero-style shape and push-down rubber strips in the top channels to help cut down wind noise and vibration. Even at highway speeds, that smoother airflow keeps things quieter, so you can focus on the drive instead of a constant whistle overhead.
Mounting your gear shouldn’t require cutting parts to fit. The split rubber strips on these Yakima bars let you press hardware directly into the top channels without trimming anything. Once your mounts are in place, the strips close back around them to keep out wind and weather. It’s a cleaner, faster setup that makes swapping between accessories simple.
Whether it’s a cargo box for a family vacation or a kayak cradle for the weekend, these crossbars are ready. The aero-style design works with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so your existing gear stays compatible. You can easily switch between watercraft, bikes, or luggage as your plans change through the seasons.
When you’re parked at a trailhead or campsite overnight, adding Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) helps deter theft of your rack setup. It’s an easy upgrade that keeps your system secure without complicating installation or daily use.

Great product
Great product and etrailer was super helpful with ordering process etc
Quiet crossbars that look good and do not howl at highway speeds.
Fast delivery. Yakima roof system for my 2017 Tahoe was perfect.
Poor protection of the cross bars resulted in gouging of the aluminum during shipment. The retail level packaging is inadequate for putting on a shipping label and hoping for a gentle ride. Given Yakima’s premium price, you hope for better protection. Nothing that a file and black marker can’t fix, but disappointed. The cross bars themselves will be functional, have two sets already on different vehicles.
Received order promptly thanks to help from Korren! Love Yakima products, well made, components all fit well. Instruction were easy to follow and the products have been well thought out in terms of markings, measuring distances to my specific car model and ease of assembly.
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.
Very sturdy hold with a matte look and fine textured feel. Very light making for easy install.
Easy to install and sturdy. I carry a 9' pontoon boat on my camper shell using this rack at freeway speeds with no problems.
Nice solid crossbars and perfect fit for a Thule Hullivator kayak rack.
Ordering was a breeze. Fast shipping. Excellent communication. Product arrived well-packaged. Product easy to install; completely as described. Yakima products are superior-performers. etrailer is an excellent source for truck & trailer products.
I had a need for the Yakima Crossbars and Towers for my Expedition. With a short delivery time frame, I contacted etrailer knowing they are the best. Justin B. worked with me to get the correct parts then made sure that the products arrived in time, it did. The Towers, Bars and overall excellent customer service from etrailer made for a great experience. Thanks again for exceeding expectations etrailer!
High quality bars that were easy to install to the Skyline towers and work great with our Yakima JayLow kayak carriers.
All aspects of the purchase and installation were great. Based on the information provided on the etrailer.com website, I had a high level of confidence that I was purchasing the correct product(s) for my vehicle. The installation was relatively simple and straightforward and the rack is rock solid on my roof. It appears that I did a great job of following the directions :)
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.
The bars are sturdy, aerodynamic and super strong. I bought this to fit a Yakima Skybox 16 and these worked great. The measurement ticks on the bottom assist with getting the box centered and have a great gasket system that you fit yourself. These mounted pretty quick even in 20 degree weather.
etrailer sold this as a set based on my car and every piece was great and a perfect fit. Communication and tracking info was great and they delivered it a day before promised.
These Yakima crossbars are a part of the Yakima towers I bought to install on my Jeep Cherokee to hold a pair of Kayaks. They fit great as advertised. In fact I got these discounted as an open box. I would have never known, they look brand new. Thank you etrailer for your great advice, customer service and quick shipping process.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
Excellent product. These bars are very quiet and look great on our truck. Assembly and installation was straightforward. We've used these bars to secure our large Yakima car top carrier and have traveled on several trips to the mountains and cabin with no issues. I suggest ordering an extra set of end caps as we've lost one in the car wash. However, have had no problems with the bars when going through the car wash.
As always, I GREATLY appreciate the superior product support that etrailer.com provides. They have the best product content on the web, hands down.
1 year later and still love my Yakima JetStream system. I've mostly used them to transport my kayak however I've also been able to transport some big box store items as well. They are very versatile. There is a t-track option as well as wrap around attachments. I've use ladder attachments, eyebolts, and Thule Hullavator in t-track. I've used Malone MegaWing and Yakima Skybox as wrap around attachment. What I really like about the t-track system is that you do not need to cut out the rubber track insert. You simply slide over the rubber, which allows you to adjust your system, on the fly, to load what you need to carry.
The product itself was excellent. However, it came with no installation instructions showing how to remove and replace the shorter cross-bars. Fortunately, my son-in-law who is an engineer and very knowledgeable figured it out and did the installation.
Product exactly as expected. Quality bars. Using on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Looks great installed. Little to no wind noise. And, as usual, top notch service by the etrailer crew! Have purchased several items from etrailer over the past 10 years and have always been impressed by how timely they are and how responsive and helpful they have been regarding product questions. They are absolutely the first merchant I go to when shopping on line!
The Yakima rack system for my 2015 Ford Fusion is an awesome product! I hadn't needed to buy aftermarket racks in many years. These are a super solid, beefy, and very well made product. I am very impressed with the quality and fit. Yakima has obviously put lots of design time into them. And etrailer does an outstanding job of making sure you get the right product for your specific need.
I chose this rack specifically because of the spread between the bars - 32" - and for the higher weight limit, as I'm carrying a fishing kayak.
Not a bad setup. I dont believe you need the 60" bars i received as they hang over the edge of your Hyundai. You need to watch your head getting in and out of your vehicle. The Jetstream crossbars are very loud at speeds over 65 mph. Im probably used to it by now, but it is definitely noticeable. Much louder than an older Rhino Rack of similar dimensions i had. Install was simple and took about 30 minutes, just take your time and measure correctly like all roof racks.
