The aerodynamic Yakima FlushBar pairs a factory look with the quietest crossbar style on the market to form the ultimate roof rack for your vehicle. These lockable, aluminum bars mount with a custom fit kit and have built-in slots for accessories.

Specs:
The Yakima FlushBar mounts to you roof with SmartFoot towers and a custom fit kit , and it's designed to blend seamlessly with your vehicle's roof line. The crossbars offer plenty of space for mounting carriers and accessories, yet still provide that streamlined, from-the-factory appearance that you crave.
Aerodynamic Airfoil Design
Designed with the aerodynamic shape of an owl wing in mind, the FlushBar produces less drag - and therefore less noise - than any other roof-rack style on the market. But don't let the elegant appearance and clean lines fool you - this roof rack is also sturdy and hard working so you can carry loads of gear. This means your vehicle will still look great inside and out.
The FlushBar features sleek, airfoil-style crossbars that are shaped like tapered wings. These lightweight aluminum bars have been shown to reduce drag by up to 70 percent when compared with round and square bars. They do this by putting the air back together quickly after it passes over and under the crossbars. This practically eliminates the buzzing and humming associated with standard roof racks - no fairing required. Because these bars produces less drag, the gas mileage of your vehicle will be far less affected than it is with other crossbars. And because they're constructed of corrosion-resistant, lightweight aluminum, you never have to worry about them rusting or affecting the load-carrying capacity of your roof.
Built-in Channels with Push-Down Access
The built-in channels include soft rubber strips that can be pushed down into the channel when you mount accessories, so you don't have to cut or trim them as you would with other slotted crossbars. And this means you'll likely never have to buy replacement strips.
Easy Installation with SmartFoot Technology
This premium rack includes innovative SmartFoot technology - a mounting system on the towers that lets you use the crossbars with multiple FlushBar fit kit styles. The custom fit kit ensures quick and easy installation on your roof, and the versatile SmartFoot towers allow you to use the crossbars on different yet similarly sized applications - just swap out the fit kit.
Once you've installed the fit kit, you must position the bars correctly on your roof. To center the bars, remove the covers from the towers, press the adjustment screws, and slide the crossbars in and out of the towers as needed until they're centered on your roof. When the correct position is achieved, simply tighten the adjustment screws with the included tool.
The SmartFoot towers are constructed of glass-filled plastic that is strong, rigid, and UV and impact resistant. These towers pivot slightly to accommodate the curve of your roof and ensure that the bars are level.
Same Key System Locks
The crossbars are compatible with Yakima SKS lock cores (Y07204 - sold separately) that allow you to secure the rack to your roof. These locks can help prevent theft of the crossbars by ensuring that they cannot be detached from your vehicle. And the locks keep your channel-mounted carriers and accessories safe by denying would-be thieves access to the built-in top slots. 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.
Adjustable clamps let you mount Yakima FlushBar crossbars to your vehicle's raised, factory side rails to create a roof-rack system. Clamps mount to SmartFoot towers with screws. Kit includes 4 clamps and all installation hardware.

This is the second time I have used them for a product either for towing or roof racks and there service is excellent. Also they are always on the mark with regards to fit for the vehicle. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. Would highly recommend them.
I like the Yakima product I ordered and I think it looks great on the 4Runner. It was easy to install with the exception of one confusing piece of the instruction. It was not clear in the fit kit instruction manual what was being referred to adjust the spacing of the foot piece now attached to the bar (in Step 2 of installation). In addition to this etrailer video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQhsOY7zvuE this etrailer video shows it better at about minute 1:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IZFFJnUWc4 That screw needs to be loosened and THEN the foot will slide easily in and out when it is pushed upon. I am pointing to it with a pen in the picture in my review. Hope that helps others avoid some frustration I had.
I would definitely recommend.
After doing some research decided to go with the Yakima roof rack setup for our VW Atlas. Love the look and functionality of it all. Got the SUPDawg paddle board carrier to go with it. Love the locking capability for piece of mind when leaving boards unattended. We are VERY happy with our choice. Drove on highway with two paddle boards and it all went smoothly with zero wind noise whatsoever. Definitely worth every penny. Will recommend.
These roof racks fit nicely to my Audi Allroad station wagon. I am quite pleased with the appearance--now I can easily find my car in crowded parking lots!
I should caution anyone who chooses to install this set themselves: There are many parts needing careful assembly. Even though a mechanical engineer I found the process confusing and difficult.
Great kit that fit my 2014 Audi Allroad factory raised roof rails perfectly. These brackets feel super secure. I feel confident I don't have anything to worry about with these brackets.
We use this roof rack for our roof top tent. Works as it should.
Sturdy secure attachment, well made, easy to install

The wait on the phone for a personal order was well worth it. I received my order the next day which I could not believe. Greg's advice was worth the wait.
