The integrated, flush design keeps these Yakima BaseLine FX crossbars tight to your roofline for a clean, factory look. With no bar overhang, the setup blends right in and maintains your vehicle’s streamlined profile. Each bar measures 40-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall, giving you a balanced combination of low profile and sturdy build that looks as good as it performs.
Nothing spoils a road trip like a constant whistle overhead. These aero-style aluminum crossbars use push-down rubber strips in the top channels to help reduce wind noise and vibration while you drive. The aerodynamic shape moves air smoothly over the bars, so whether you’re heading to the campground or across the state, you’ll enjoy a quieter ride.
This rack is ready for all your gear—kayaks, canoes, skis, bikes, or cargo boxes. The crossbars accept both channel-mount accessories and clamp-on mounts, so you can use the attachments you already own or add new ones later. The 165-lb weight capacity gives you plenty of strength for everyday hauling or weekend adventures.
Installing roof racks can be intimidating, but this system keeps it straightforward. The BaseLine FX includes crossbars with towers and a custom fit kit for your vehicle’s naked roof. Everything integrates neatly into a single system for an easy fit that stays secure once tightened down.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) to deter theft of both the rack and any channel-mounted accessories. When you’re parked at a trailhead or campsite overnight, it’s a quick way to protect your setup and give yourself peace of mind.

Excellent!!
Still love these recently put them on again for summer very easy to do by myself
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
etrailer's selection process, delivery ann installation help both online and on the phone was excellent
Works great with baseline towers
Couldn't find the 170 clips anywhere else, and Tim at etrailer came through. Thanks. Couldn't use the roof rack without them.
The roof rack came packaged nicely and the instructions were simple to follow. I installed it in about an hour and we have already used it this past Memorial Day weekend. My wife loves the way it looks on her Mazda. Much better than the factory rack
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!.
Yakima clips provided a perfect fit for my
car. The roof rack is now solidly attached.
Also impressive was etrailer great
customer service
Arrived as part of a set of components for a roof rack and kayak carrier. I liked that etrailer had a guide to get the right components to fit my car's make and model year. This baseclip set arrived quickly, but the set for the rear of the car that arrived with them were obviously returns that had not been inspected. That set was missing parts, requiring follow-up calls to arrange for a new replacement for the incomplete set, and about a week's delay in getting the rack up on the car.
I want to thank the staff at eTrailer for their outstanding support. After my roof rack order got off to a shaky start the customer service staff stepped in and made it right; 100% RIGHT. I cannot thank them, and eTrailer, enough. Regarding the roof rack itself, I have now installed it and can vouch that the installation was a breeze. All parts fit and the instructions were correct. For the record, this is not my first purchase from eTrailer (I've bought hitch items from them before) and it won't be my last. They have ALWAYS given great service, their web site works, their products and descriptions are good, etc., etc. Thank you!
The roof rack has been awesome! It has been really handy to be able to attach our bike rack attachment, kayak bars or traveling cargo carrier. My only complaint is that the end caps fell off somewhere along one of our many adventures and looks a bit disheveled. Other than the appearance it has been very versatile and we love it!
I have not bought car roof racks for decades--back when there were those very useful rain gutters. So I was shocked with the high prices. But what you get today is much more carefully engineered with a complicated construction. This Yakima version even comes with a manual 3.5 mm hex driver which turns out to be a torque wrench too. You use it 16 times, torquing to its limit, in installing the two cross rails on the four towers. Years ago you installed the towers where you wanted them on the rain gutters and adjusted the cross rails by sight. No more. You must go on line to Yakima. You must get the precisely engineered dimensions for your exact vehicle. You even adjust the towers for the roof slope and any toe-in of the roof line. Pay attention to the precise instructions. The result is very solid. I wish that I had more space between the cross rails. There is room for another 6 or 8 inches given where the door openings on my 2019 Toyota Highlander are spaced. But then the rear base clips would be different and that logistics would add yet more to the price. I am confident that I can secure a 4 X 8 sheet of plywood on the cross rails. And I will find my vehicle in the mall parking lot easier with those good looking rails. While I am happy with the end product, I wish the vendors had given more explanation of the fixed dimensions of today's installations. That would have helped make my on-line shopping less frustrating. Part of the problem is that Yakima and Thule do not provide cross rails for my LE Highlander's existing tower bases. And I could not get 60 inch cross rails on any of the versions that fit my LE's bases.
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.
Perfect fit! Who’s recommend and repurchase if I need for another vehicle
