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.

DropHook System Installation
Custom-fit BaseClips let you mount BaseLine towers (sold separately) to your vehicle with a naked roof. To install, remove the tower's cover, open the gray door inside the assembly, and attach the clip to the DropHook inside.
The clip adjusts on 3 axes during installation to ensure a perfect, secure fit on your door jamb. Once the tower and clip are seated correctly, simply tighten the clip down, close the door, and replace the cover.
The included molded rubber pads protect your roof from scratches and abrasions. The pads easily clip onto the bottoms of the towers and are specifically designed to fit the shape and contour of your roof.

Ratings & Reviews
I ordered these as part of a complete roof rack kayak carrier system. Everything else was great, but this box arrived (within a larger box with other components) somewhat battered, and obviously re-taped shut.
Clearly, it was a return, and it never been inspected. Pieces of the baseclip components were missing from the box.
I contacted etrailer, and it took about 20+ minutes to arrange shipment of a new set, even after having sent several images of the box and incomplete product.
They sent a replacement, which arrived a few days later. But I purchased and paid for brand new products, and was VERY disappointed to receive a returned, incomplete set.
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.
Great service from my knowledgeable salesperson and the product installed easily and performs perfectly.
3 years ago etrailer helped me to fit Yakima racks on my Honda Accord so that I could carry my kayake.
I got a new Honda Accord this year and only had to replace the baseline towers and can still use the other parts.
It was pretty easy to install with good directions.
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.
Excellent fit and held solid on my '23 Ford Maverick pick-up for the entire canoeing season. When removed this Fall there was no sign they were ever there.
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.
It arrived just fine, and timely. Thank you, e trailer has always had great customer service
The clips are very easy to install and good fit on my 2020 Ram 1500.
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.
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 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!

I bought a set of baseline towers and a jet stream crossbar and mounted them on the roof of my 2018 Tacoma. I have another crossbar on the back of my truck cap. This set up is perfect for carrying long items like my canoe. James at etrailer was extremely helpful in helping with the necessary parts for this configuration.
Worked well as designed. Excellent service from Etrailer as usual. Have been a customer for many years and they will be my first choice for racks and hitches

My Yakima rack set up continues to be a great solution for carrying my canoe on my Tacoma. Extremely solid and has caused no discoloration on my roof. I take the rack off for the winter months. It was takes me no more than 5min to take the crossbar off or put it back on my truck. Terrific product!
