When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes, stability is the last thing you want to worry about. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack uses aluminum JetStream crossbars that are built for solid, aerodynamic performance. The bars measure 50" long x 2-3/4" wide x 1-1/8" tall, giving you strong support for up to 165 lbs of gear. The sleek aero shape helps cut down on drag and wind resistance so the ride feels smoother and quieter even when fully loaded.
Mounting accessories shouldn’t mean trimming rubber strips or fiddling with tools. With this Yakima setup, the top channels feature push-down rubber strips that flex open so you can slide in your mounts or bolts—no cutting or trimming required. Once your gear is on, the strips close back up around the hardware to help reduce wind noise and vibration while keeping the rack’s surface protected and sealed from the elements.
Whether it’s a couple of kayaks, a cargo box for a family road trip, or ski mounts for winter weekends, these crossbars are ready for it all. The aero-style design works with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, making it easy to use your existing carriers or upgrade later without having to switch systems. It’s a simple way to get one roof rack that does everything you need.
Leaving your gear on the roof shouldn’t be a gamble. The BaseLine towers are compatible with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately), letting you secure the rack to your roof so it stays put wherever you stop. It’s an easy add-on for peace of mind when you leave your car at the trailhead or campsite overnight.
From long highway trips to rough backroads, these aluminum bars are made to handle it all without warping or rusting. The smooth black finish adds a clean look while standing up to weather and heavy use. With a limited lifetime warranty backing it up, this setup is built for years of hauling whatever adventures bring next.

Tghe racks have remained on since I installed them correctly, no thanks to your video. I read the manual it came with.
