SkyLine Towers

The heavy-duty SkyLine towers allow you to mount 1 Yakima crossbar (sold separately) to your vehicle with fixed mounting points, flush side rails, or tracks. The towers adjust during installation to ensure your crossbar is level. The SkyLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars. The towers install with Yakima's Landing Pad system (sold separately).


Versatile BarBed

SkyLine BarBed

The SkyLine's BarBed is specifically designed to work with Yakima's entire line of crossbars.


CoreBar CrossbarJetStream Crossbar

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.


RoundBar CrossbarRoundBar Adapter

The towers also work with a Yakima RoundBar with adapters (Y03536 - sold separately). The adapters slide over the bar and secure to the towers with bolts.


Torque Tool

The crossbar mounts to the SkyLine 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.


Simple Installation with Landing Pads

SkyLine with LandingPad

The towers install with custom-fit Landing Pads (sold separately). To mount a tower simply open the cover, set the tower on the Landing Pad, and close the cover.


SkyLine Cover

Mounting posts on the bottom of the tower extend when the cover is closed to lock the tower in place on the Landing Pad.


SkyLine Pitch Diagram

Each tower's pitch can be adjusted up to 6 degrees forward or backward during installation. This lets you create a level mounting surface for your gear even on a curved roof. Simply loosen the bolt near the top of the tower assembly, adjust the position of your bar, and then re-tighten the bolt.


Same Key System Locks

2 Pack SKS Lock Cores

SkyLine towers are compatible with Yakima SKS lock cores (Y07202 - 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.

Fits as designed.

Although I would give the actual product a two star, I give etrailer a five stars for their customer service and shipping speed. These Yakima towers are terrible, since the metal fatigue destroys them on a regular basis due to poor design or manufacturing. Thank God etrailer has these available for replacements. Very disappointed with Yakima products. I have had much better luck with Thule.

so far so good with the new design. Havent seen any disintegration yet. Now having an issue with the cross bars- it appears as if the metal wrap around the core is cracking and separating. AVOID YAKIMA!

Strong, easy to install! The supplied torque wrench is great.

  • Parts Needed to Add Yakima Roof Rack to Leer Topper with Thule Tracks
    Yakima Landing Pad 1 part # Y00221 fits the Thule channels that you have on your Leer camper shell. This is a pair of them so you'd need a quantity of 2. Then for a pair of feet you'd need the SkyLine Towers part # Y72TR. Yakima does not make square bars though so you'd want a set of their JetStream bars part # Y00426 which are 60 inches long. To then add locks you'd need the lock core pair part # Y07202.

  • Can the Yakima 60" HD Tracks for Roof Racks Be Used on a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica with a Naked Roof
    The Yakima 60" HD Tracks for Roof Racks # Y74MR was designed to be used on truck bed rails or truck bed caps. It was not intended for use on the roof of a vehicle. That being said, it does not mean that you cannot do it. It simply means that there is no guide as to which vehicles it would be a good fitment for. I did take a look and did not see another roof rack option, so installing tracks would be a good option. But, you will need to measure your roof to ensure you have the space. The...

  • Installation of Yakima Skyline Roof Rack for 2026 Toyota Tacoma Carrying Canoe
    Hey Turner! The tabs you're seeing sound like the factory retainer clip. It should pry straight up to expose the threaded mounting point underneath. For your truck, Yakima specifies using the M6 x 40 mm mounting bolts. Since you're only installing the front pair, you'll use the flat landing pad skirt. The stepped skirt is only used on the rear mounting points. There aren't any Tacoma-specific sealing steps, just follow the instructions and you're good. Running a single crossbar is not...
