These crossbars are built from galvanized steel to give you a solid backbone for hauling gear. Whether you’re packing for a long road trip or loading up a set of kayaks, the 165-lb weight capacity keeps your cargo steady. The black vinyl coating adds a layer of protection against corrosion, so the bars hold up well through changing weather and years of use.
Everything you need comes together in one kit—2 RoundBars, 4 BaseLine towers, 4 adapters, and a custom fit kit. Once mounted, you’ve got a secure platform ready for clamp-on carriers and accessories. It’s a straightforward setup that feels sturdy when locked down, giving you the confidence to haul outdoor gear or extra luggage when space runs short.
The black vinyl finish doesn’t just look clean—it helps guard the steel underneath from rust and wear. For added security, you can upgrade with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). That way, the rack stays put when you park for the night or stop for supplies on the way to your next destination.
Round crossbars make it easy to use the attachments you already have. Most carriers and mounts that clamp around the bar will fit right on, so switching between kayak cradles, cargo boxes, or other accessories is simple. With 48" long bars and a classic round design, it’s a versatile setup that’s ready for any trip ahead.

I bought both the roof rack and the cage from etrailer! Put everything on myself...easy peasy!
Excellent service and fast shipping.
Straightforward installation to adapt the new SkyLine towers to the standard Yakima round bars.
As all yakima products not the cheapest but work
Roof rack on my 2005 Chevy Uplander. Also ordered the Q towers and fairing.
Kimberly has shown that great customer service is not dead! etrailer and Kimberly are great to work with and have earned my business and will always be the 1st and last place I look for my rack+ needs!
As for the application, I needed more space to fit my cargo box on top of my 4Runner TRD Pro’s rack. I came up this this… Thank you!
Bought as a pkg for my 2017 Golf R with Round Bars since I had a bunch of Yakima bike racks and a canoe gunwale rack for my old Yakima set up. Installation was easy with good instructions. All measurements from the Yakima site appear to be spot on.
etrailer.com shipped these out quickly and all parts arrived without damage.
Great product haven’t had any issues with it. Would highly recommend that anyone that’s looking for a roof rack system and a great seller at etrailer
Customer service was extremely helpful in finding the exact replacement parts needed for my old car!
roof racks showed up in great condition, and showed up as one package.... I should have ordered the J racks from here but I found them cheaper locally so Thule J racks compliment the whole setup and i am just about ready to hit the water :)
The Yakima roof rack system is an Outstanding product. I purchased the product to replace the OEM roof rack because it was too flimsy to carry the tandem bike mount and my bike. The Yakima roof rack is solid and provides me the peace of mind while hauling my bike on the roof of my car. etrailer provided the product for the best price as always.
Have been rocking my Yakima rack from etrailer.com for a year now. I am using rack in conjunction with a Tepui tent. Once I added the air deflector, I would say it's the perfect setup. The Yakima gives more clearance over the factory rack, so I was able to get my hands under it to secure the tent hardware. If you're thinking of upgrading your factory rack, I would not hesitate to use etrailer.com
Roof Rack 2008 Saturn Astra The roof rack arrived one day early...The packaging was excellent and the quality of the product more than met my expectations. The instructions made the insulation very easy. It took less than 45 minutes to install the unit complete.
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.
The rack has performed very well. I have carried a 100 lbs spare tire for over 6k miles across the country. On numerous 4wd roads and the rack has never shifted or marred my roof when removed. The only annoying issue is rubber pads doesn't clip in a better positive fashion when installing or during removal.
The installation of this rack system went very well, all of the instructions were easy to read and use. I have attached some pictures of our installation. The vehicle is a 1994 Honda Accord EX four door sedan
Solid and easy to instal
I've attachec a few pictures of the Yakima rack on my Audi Q7. It took a few attempts to find the right combination of attachments, but in the end, the pin attachments work best with the access points on the factory flush-mount rails. Great product!!!!!
These convertors will allow me to continue to use my hullavator system currently on round bars. The drop in feature of skyline towers makes the whole change out a snap. Certainly better than buying a whole new hullavator.
Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.
I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.
High quality. Adapter to use modern towers with my 2003 round tube cross members.
It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service
Products great. Service and delivery from you company was not acceptable. when I placed my order you missed your delivery date by five days. Not sure how this happened, but requested help was not available.
etrailer rocks! Great customer service and support. All pieces worked as promised and for my vehicle.
A bit disappointed that Yakima towers do not have a height adjustment so I can make both round crossbars level to keep my canoes from catching too much air on the highway. My vehicles roof flush rails are are curved vertically and change widths front to back. Had to Mickey Mouse the back crossbar to make it higher with PVC brick moulding.
Also the tower covers with the Yakima label don't clip on strongly enough so I had to add duct tape because I did not trust them to stay on.
