When you’re loading up for a trip with kayaks, canoes, or a rooftop box, you want bars that won’t flex or shift under weight. The Yakima SkyLine Roof Rack uses steel-constructed CoreBars for solid, dependable support. With a 220-lb weight capacity, these 70" long, 2-3/4" wide, and 1" tall crossbars handle heavy gear without breaking a sweat. The black vinyl coating keeps them protected from corrosion, so they’ll hold up through seasons of use.
Long highway drives can turn noisy when your roof rack catches the wind the wrong way. These CoreBars have an aerodynamic shape that helps smooth airflow across the roof, cutting down on drag and reducing that whistling sound. The result is a quieter ride that feels more relaxed whether you’re cruising to the lake or crossing state lines.
From kayaks and canoes to cargo boxes and fishing gear, this setup makes it easy to bring what you need. The full-length bar design works with most clamp-on accessories, so you can attach carriers and mounts already in your lineup. It’s a versatile system that adapts to your weekend plans without fussing over compatibility.
Once installed, you want your rack to stay put and stay solid. The SkyLine towers and custom fit kit mount directly to your vehicle’s fixed points for a secure, factory-tight setup. Everything locks down firmly and lines up cleanly for confident hauling every time you head out. You can even add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores—sold separately—for extra theft deterrence.

The product performs as advertised making rack install & removal quick & easy. I would prefer a two screw attachment to the roof yet that seems dictated by the vehicle.
Product was shipped very quickly with great communication along the way! This is a much more affordable option for the Porsche Cayman than the expensive factory bike rack.
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze. For the money I wish they came with the core locks.
No complaints! Fits seamlessly with the towers and super easy to remove and replace the bars!
We bought this at the same time as a roof rack for our first family camping trip. These were really easy to install and have held up excellently in the last year.
Landing pads arrived in the promised time frame. Box was in good condition and product worked great
looks good on car. easy install. easy on - off. looks strong. BUT incredibly noisy. I will have to buy the wind gaurd. They might as well include it because its no good without. now i will have to pay for shipping for the gaurd. I will remove it when not in use. Next life I'll try "the other guy"
The rep from etrailer (Noah conformed my online order, made certain my order was correct for the vehicle I was outfitting and made certain I received my order items on time before my trip. This company is great!
Fit my nissan nv200 no problem. Comes with different size and length bolts to fit multible vehicles. Directions did tell me to use different size bolts thay clearly were the wrong ones but it was easy to figure it out. Also: u need all 3 products to complete ur roof rack system.
A rack for Porsches for lessFor those Porsche owners put off by the price of the Porsche Roof Transport System, try Yakima. For significantly less, you get a solid rack which uses your Porsche mounting points and since it is a component system, it fits both Caymans and Carreras.
Just installed to my 08' Subaru Impreza using the factory bolting mounts. Easy setup did in about an hour or so including my Yakima High Roller bike rack. Seems sturdy, hopefully so to carry my heavy downhill mountain bike!
My roof rack arrived as promised and in good condition. Your web site was very useful in instructing the installation and how the parts matched with my other accessories. I did have a struggle lining up the screw holes, but with patience I succeeded.
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.
Quiet, heavy duty and looks great! Would definitely buy again and definitely from etrailer! Great customer service!
Yakima Roof Rack for BMWI ordered a yakima roof rack for my BMW during the mad rush of Christmas shopping and have received everything need for the assembly in a very short amount of time. I have even received follow up emails telling me the status of the shipping as well as a courtesy email. I also found that etrailer.com is also much cheaper than other retail stores such as REI. I highly recommend using etrailer.com!
Simple installation to vehicle with supplied hardware and tools. Once these bases are installed to the vehicle, it is simple for a single person to install and remove crossbars and towers in just a couple of minutes.
I got my new landing pads the day they said it would arrive. The pads were in their original yakima packaging, properly packed and overboxed. I work for a logistics company so I know the importance of getting product to a customer on time and exceeding their expectations. Very well done etrailer.com! The landing pads is just part of what I needed, and with the discount code included for my next purchase, I will be back. Thanks again.
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.
etrailer did an amazing job of having their collective together with regards to my latest order for a roof top rack. First of all, when you go to one these manufacturer websites, either thule, or Yakima, you realize just how complicated this task can be. etrailer does all of that for you. Package arrived earlier than expected and everything was correct the first time. I installed the product myself in under an hour. Done, Done, and Done.
thanks etrailer
Very good product. The Yakama towers and cross bars feel very solid and appears to be high quality. Very easy install. Others have complained about the instructions, but guess I'm a visual person because the pictures all seemed very clear to me and the install was very easy. They do sit higher than I expected. After adding a Rhino Rack cargo basket, we only have about 4-5" clearance below the garage door.
We purchased the Yakima Skyline Towers roof rack with the Jet Stream crossbars. Took about 2 hours to install on the naked roof of our Flex. I drilled through the roof strip for the mounting bolts and they fit tighter than the factory rails. Very happy with our choice.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
My experience with etrailer has been excellent. There was going to be a potential delay in one of the products, but their customer service promptly informed me, half the price of some of their competitors so can't really complain. In the end they got the part ahead of schedule and was able to ship in a timely manner. I will definitely keep them in mind for future purchases.
At first, a little tricky to install, as the kit comes with hardware for a variety of applications (different length/size bolts, etc). But after a quick look at the directions and identifying which bolt to use for my car, install was a breeze. I love this Yakima setup because I can remove the bars/towers and leave the landing pads with a cap. Makes it great for taking the canoe out on weekend trips, but not taking the fuel-economy hit during the weekday commute to work.
went together great! appreciate the advise, so easy!

After a year, the landing pads look like new and have worked out spectacularly. Ive tested the pads on/off the car, and they havent affected fuel economy aero drag at all, so I just leave them on. Id highly recommend these, and I appreciate etrailers video tutorial before I purchased the product!
