To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
The flush design keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline, giving a clean, factory-style appearance. Nothing sticks out past the towers, so the rack blends in and keeps a low profile. The integrated crossbar and tower system installs on your naked roof, creating a streamlined look that feels built-in rather than added-on.
Driving with gear on the roof can sometimes mean extra noise, but these aero-style crossbars help cut that down. Their aerodynamic shape reduces drag, and the push-down rubber strips fill the top channels to minimize wind noise and vibration while you’re on the move. The strips also make it easy to mount channel accessories without leaving gaps that whistle or buzz at highway speeds.
These bars are ready for whatever the trip calls for—whether it’s hauling kayaks to the lake, mounting a cargo box for a road trip, or adding bike and ski carriers when the season changes. The crossbars work with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, giving you flexibility to use the gear you already own or add new setups later.
When you’re hauling serious gear, solid construction matters. Made from aluminum, these bars are sturdy yet lightweight and have a weight capacity of 165 lbs. They’re strong enough to carry cargo boxes, watercraft, or outdoor gear while maintaining stability on long drives. Always observe your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity for safe hauling.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores to help deter theft of both the rack and your channel-mounted accessories. It’s an easy upgrade for peace of mind when you leave your vehicle parked at a trailhead or anywhere overnight.

Perfect fit!!!
Nice Easy and a perfect fit!!!
Great! Easy to install!
Excellent!!
Still love these recently put them on again for summer very easy to do by myself
Amazing product! Use this for my kayak and canoe. After a year they are still in great condition and very sturdy. The site is very helpful and informative. Highly recommend this product.
The towers are of great quality and construction. Instructions were semi-simple but as long as you read everything twice it’s easy. Great product, I’m very happy with my purchase!
etrailer's selection process, delivery ann installation help both online and on the phone was excellent
Couldn't find the 170 clips anywhere else, and Tim at etrailer came through. Thanks. Couldn't use the roof rack without them.
I ordered the yakima rack but had to question myself if it would fit on my Honda Accord coupe so I contacted etrailer & Vicki helped me with my order and stated if it didn't fit properly that etrailer would take care of returning the product free of charge if it didn't fir properly. Product fit on my car as it should, Thank u for all your help Vicki. Loaded the kayak and took a freeway test with good results as the kayak was still on the car when I returned. Thanks
antastic company and wonderful service, one of the racks was the wrong size for my car so they were able to help find the right size for my Car. Absolutely great company, with fast shipping and just the products I needed for my Car!. Very helpful, and overall smooth transaction and service. I will order from this company again very soon!. shipping came in a very strong and solid box. I highly recommend buying from them!. 10/10 all the way!.
etrailer installation videos were very helpful in selecting the product and first installation, although in practice, minor adjustments to method were required. Now after more than a dozen set ups, mounting the crossbars takes 15 minutes, and taking them off, 10. The system is well made, and when mounted, precise, strong, and reliable. Expensive perhaps compared to alternatives, but well worth the money. Used to carry a 50# sailboard 40 miles to the beach on weekends. ('11 Honda Fit)
One minor shortcoming: rubber sheet glued to base clips where they touch the car body have torn and moved sideways 1/16", but expect will be easily replaced with readily available 1/16" sheet rubber (e.g., shower pan liner) when the time comes.
Used in rain at least once, (sustained 60mph), with no leaks.
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.
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!
