The flush design keeps the Yakima BaseLine FX crossbars tight to the roofline, giving your setup a clean, factory look. With no bar ends sticking out past the towers, this system stays sleek and aerodynamic. It blends into your vehicle instead of looking like an add-on, so even with gear up top, it maintains a low-profile style.
Driving with roof bars can create wind noise, but these aero-style crossbars are built to minimize it. The shape helps air slip over smoothly, while the push-down rubber strips in the top channels fill in gaps that can cause vibration or whistling. The result is a quieter ride and less distraction on long drives or highway trips.
This rack is ready for all kinds of adventures. The crossbars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can bring kayaks, cargo boxes, or skis depending on the season. It’s versatile enough to work with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers without needing separate setups.
The BaseLine FX integrates the towers and crossbars into one complete roof rack system that installs on vehicles with naked roofs. Everything fits together cleanly for a solid hold without extra overhang or complex hardware. You can also add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) to help deter theft of the rack or channel-mount accessories when parked.
With aluminum construction and a 165 lbs weight capacity, this setup is ready for tough use without adding unnecessary weight. Each crossbar measures 40-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall, giving plenty of support while staying compact. It’s engineered to handle your everyday hauling needs while keeping a durable, long-lasting build.

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.
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.
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.
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.
It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service
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.
The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.
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!

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.
I purchased the Baseline towers with base clip fit kit and jetstream crossbars. They were great quality and the instruction materials included for assembly and installation were great. I was able to assemble and install on my Lexus CT 200 in about an hour. It looks nice too!
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.
It looks just as pictured :) Great product and superior service! William took the time to help us decide what we actually needed and would work for us. He is knowledgeable in regards to his products and has an overall helpful attitude. It was such a pleasure working with him.
Thanks again and buy William lunch today!!
p/s we have not installed the product yet so I will send a picture once its taken care of
The yakima jetstream crossbar looks beautiful. Quality is great. Took my vehicle for a test drive, and i didnt hear anything loose or broken from the bars. Very satisfied with the product and the instructions were great. It was my first time installing a roof rack too.
The instructions were different for another set of bars. Was a pain to get right...all the measurements on Yakima were off...I figured it out on my own...should have got Thule or nicer bars ..end caps were not good either...flawed fit... otherwise will do just not happy with the product perse or instructions...delivery good...will see how they do.
