The Yakima BaseLine FX keeps things clean and tight to your roofline with a flush design that doesn’t hang past the sides. The integrated crossbar and tower system gives a streamlined, factory look that blends in rather than standing out. At 40-3/4" long, each bar fits neatly across the roof for a low-profile setup that looks intentional and solid.
Driving with a roof rack shouldn’t mean dealing with constant wind noise. These aero-style crossbars are shaped to help cut through the air more smoothly. Push-down rubber strips in the top channels fill the gaps to reduce whistling and vibration, keeping your highway drives quieter and less fatiguing. The result is a rack that feels refined even at speed.
Whether it’s watersports gear, bikes, snow carriers, or cargo boxes, this rack is ready for it all. The bars are compatible with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, so you can use what you already have or add new mounts as your adventures grow. It’s a single system that handles everything from kayaks to camping setups without fuss.
When you load up for a weekend trip or haul heavier items like tents or lumber, you want real strength under you. The BaseLine FX uses aluminum construction for durability without adding unnecessary weight. It’s rated for 165 lbs—just remember to stay within your vehicle’s maximum roof load limit—and built to handle years of travel and changing seasons.
You can secure your setup by adding Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, sold separately. They deter theft of both the rack itself and any channel-mounted accessories. With a single key setup, you can lock everything down when you park at campgrounds, trailheads, or hotels—helping protect your gear wherever you stop.

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.
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.
It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service
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.
The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.
High quality and all. But my old Yakima rack setup stayed together. The cover was part of a lever to tighten clips. The clips were captured in the assembly. New design the cover and clips need to be completely removed. Need a torque Allen wrench to install every time. Loose parts become Easter egg hunts. Am sure this is to sailer proof mount--that truly is impossible!
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.
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!

The racks are easy to remove and reinstall once they are set up. My only complaint is that Yakama only seems to make the base clips in one length. This limits the distance that I can separate the bars to 32 inches. They don't reach under the door sill if I move them further back. If they stamped them out in a few different lengths one would have more options in terms of distance between the bars.
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.
Love it! We've made several long trips with full luggage loads.
Thank you for quality accessories and for fast delivery.
Went Over and beyond on helping me solve a difficult problem on
how to fine and put a roof rack on a very difficult car...
Best Customer Service of any company I have ever worked with.
Great service before and after the sale to make sure everything
went smoothly. Can’t thank them enough. Very happy customer.
Check out my other reviews. It took 3 items from etrailer to get the perfect roof rack but it really is perfect. I'm so happy with this investment.
Customer service was excellent, they called me to tell me one item was backordered and how long it would be. Package was shipped with enough packing material. Install was pretty easy, some of the Yakima measurements in the manual are a couple inches off but no big deal. This will be used to carry a box for when the family takes trips. Can pile all the luggage up top and have more room in the car. I would recommend the Yakima corebar roof rack and etrailer! Their price was lower than 2 other sites I checked.
