Specs:
The heavy-duty BaseLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima crossbars to your vehicle with a naked roof. The towers can be adjusted during installation to ensure your crossbars are level and that the rack is seated correctly on your roof. The BaseLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars. The towers install with Yakima's DropHook system and BaseClips .
Versatile BarBed
The BaseLine's BarBed is specifically designed to work with Yakima's entire line of crossbars.
The BarBed is curved to accommodate the elliptical shape of the CoreBar and JetStream crossbar. The CoreBar includes brackets that slide over the bar and secure to the towers with bolts. The JetStream attaches directly to the tower with bolts.
The towers also work with Yakima RoundBars with adapters . The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.
The crossbars mount to the BaseLine towers with the included torque tool. The tool clicks 3 times once you've reached the correct amount of torque so you don't have to worry about over- or under-tightening. This is the only tool you will need to secure the bars to the towers and the towers to your roof.
Adjustable Pitch and Toe Angle
The pitch and toe angle of each tower adjusts to provide a level mounting surface and to ensure the rack is seated correctly on your roof. To set up, install the towers on your crossbars and place them so the bottoms of the towers are facing up. Next, adjust the pitch and toe angle to the correct position as indicated by your fit kit's instruction manual. The pitch adjustments are labeled A, B, and C, and the toe angle adjustments are labelled 1, 2, and 3. Once these are set place the rack on your roof.
Secure Installation with DropHook System
The towers install with custom-fit BaseClips . To mount a tower remove the cover, open the door inside the assembly, and attach the BaseClip to the hook inside the tower. The clip adjusts on 3 axes as you tighten it to ensure a safe and secure fit. Once the clip is tightened down, close the door to secure the clip in place.
Same Key System Locks
BaseLine towers are compatible with Yakima SKS lock cores (Y07204 - sold separately) that allow you to secure the roof rack to your roof. The SKS locks are all keyed alike so a single key opens all the locks. The locks can also be swapped out to make all of your Yakima products keyed alike.
These adapters allow you to use Yakima RoundBars with BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, or RidgeLine roof rack towers. Kit includes 4 adapters and 4 endcaps.
Features:
These custom clips and pads let you mount Yakima BaseLine towers on your vehicle with a naked roof. Clips attach to hooks in tower assemblies, and pads clip to bottoms of towers.

Today on our 2012 Ford Focus we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Roof Rack System, consisting in part numbers Y00426, and those are going to be the Yakima JetStream crossbars, part number Y00146, and those are going to be the BaseLine towers for the crossbars, and part numbers Y06135 and Y06105. Those are going to be the BaseClip Fit Kits for those towers. Now, we already have the front one installed. You can see it has a nice, aerodynamic shape which is going to cut down wind noise and drag. With the two bars together they have a combined carrying capacity of 165 pounds, although you want to double check with your manufacturer's manual to make sure that your vehicle can withstand that kind of weight. Let's go ahead and show you how the rear one installs. We already have it partially assembled on our table here, and we'll finish it up.
Now, before we actually install anything you want to make sure that your towers have the proper settings for the bars. This one is set up for the JetLine . JetLine JetStream bars, excuse me. We'll go ahead and and slide them. I'll just move this around so you can see it.
We're going to slide them into this channel here, like so. You may have to loosen it up just a little bit to make sure that it will go in. It comes with a tool to do so. Then, we'll measure out to make sure that it's in its proper place. Go ahead and put this bolt on the inside here.
Tighten it down. Tighten this down as well. All right, next step is we're going to take our padded foot here and we're going to connect it to this point here. Okay, now at this point you would take your rubber strip and you would cut it to length to put it in the center here, but for demonstration purposes we'll just leave that aside for now. Next I'm going to go ahead and open our rear doors and put our crossbar into place. Try to set them on as evenly as possible.
Then we'll take our measuring tape and measure out the crossbar spread from center to center. You can find this in your instructions, this measurement. It's looking pretty good there. Go to the other side and repeat this process. All right, I'm going to make sure that they're evenly on both sides there. Looks like I may have to move it over a little bit. Now we can insert our clamps. These come with the BaseClip Fit Kits. See that it has this hole or notch here at the top. We'll open up our door here on our tower and we'll lift up this portion. I'm going to have to come around here. This portion here on the inside. Slide in our clip until it catches. We'll do this on the other side as well. All right, now with those in place, now we can start to tighten them down. We can get them snug at first on both sides and then tighten them down evenly back and forth. Once these are completely tightened, you will hear a clicking sound coming from the tool. Now, some accessories you can put on these roof racks are going to be bike racks, cargo baskets, cargo bags, cargo boxes, as well as ski carriers, kayak carriers. There's the click I was talking about. Shut that down. There's a wide variety of things you can put up here. There we go. Shut that door there. Now, we can put on our end caps as well as the end caps to our towers. With these, I would like to point out that there is a point here where you can knock that plastic portion out and insert a lock core for additional security. Just pop that in like so. Then, finally, our end caps. We'll just slide it into place at the ends here. All right, and there you have it for the Yakima Roof Rack System on our 2012 Ford Focus.

However, I am amazed at the price increases over the years. Etrailer prices were by far lower than most. Overall, a very excellent purchase.
I'm happy that this allows me to save money by using my old round bars on my new vehicle, with only the purchase of new "towers" and these adapters.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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!
Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
Excellent solution for my 2023 Chevy Silverado. In the past, I have had rails installed on the roof of my pickup trucks, but I find the BaseLine towers to be a better solution, since they don't permanently change the truck. Plus, they are much more solid than SkyLine system on the rails.
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
A great company to do business with, and lots of merchandise in stock. I orderd a roof rack for my truck on Tuesday morning and it was on the porch when I returned from work on Thursday. I will deffinitely order more from etrailer.com
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
Your notice of schemes was a lot better than the yakima site provided. They did not suggest the scheme you did.
But when the products arrived, the instructions were by yakima. Generally worked as instructed except the tower to tower transverse mounting dimensions needed to be tweaked for a perfect fit.
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Yakima Crossbars were as you would expect - steel bars coated in a soft black coating (be mindful when you are utilizing these with the top mounts as the clamp will eat through the soft coating when you tighten them down). I had issues with my yakima round bar setup as the brackets and tower system were allowing water to leak in. This is in no way reflective of what youll experience but Yakima has superb support. I spoke with them twice on my issue and out of their kindness they shipped me an entire setup to replace my existing one for free.
So far so good. Purchased these towers to use on a 2022 GMC Canyon with HD bars that I already had, primarily to carry my canoe. Yakima's fitting instructions worked perfectly and the whole system seems really solid.
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.
I have truly enjoyed this system. It allows our family of five plus our dog to stretch out in the car while our gear is secured on the roof. It takes a bit to mount it but I want it secure and it does fine with a roof box at interstate speeds. I absolutely recommend this system.
The roof rack is great. Solid.
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
Great first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
I ordered a Yakima Roof Rack for my Toyota Prius from eTrailer.com. Part of the reason for purchasing from eTrailer.com was the promise that the racks were made specifically for the car and would not dent the roof.
I received the rack on July 31, and installed the racks on my Prius according to instructions included with the racks. Our tandem kayak is 65 lbs . The towers were placed on the outer most part of the roof as indicated by the instructions. Yakima saddles were attached to the crossbars to hold the kayak. Nothing was close or touching the top of the roof. We transported the kayak to a nearby lake, 6 miles, and back. The next day we removed the racks from the roof and noticed 4 dents on the top of the roof. It was obvious that transporting the kayak on the rack caused the dents.
We had to pay $100 to have the dents removed from the Prius roof.
I cannot continue to use this rack that puts dents in the car's roof. I was extremely disappointed in the racks. In reading the Toyota manual and contacting them by phone, there is no mention of using or not using roof racks.
I was shocked to learn from Rachel at eTrailer.com that your company takes absolutely no responsibility for this Yakima product they sell. The best they can do is to pass the buck and refer us to Yakima.
Very disappointed, and out a lot of money for a product that damages your car. Will not recommend or buy here again. eTrailer.com does not even deserve one star in this review.
Typical Yakima cross bars. Coating is a little too easy to cut or gouge, but probably needs to be that way to get the grip it provides. Good enough solution for me, and allows me to continue to use all the attachments I've accumulated over the years that require a round bar
Installation of the hitch, wiring,rear bike rack, and new roof rack towers went well. I didn't set any speed records, but I was more concerned with doing no damage on a new 2019 Toyota Sienna AWD van. The hitch fit up well per instructions except that I was able to work around the exhaust without lowering it. Underbody panel and rear fascia did both need to be removed. Very happy with the end result. The new van is now set up to haul the bikes and canoes and move my log splitter.

I still use this system every few months with great success. There has been zero damage to the paint of my SUV. The bars, towers, and clips are as secure as ever. I am extremely happy with this equipment.
