BaseLine Towers

The heavy-duty BaseLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima crossbars (sold separately) 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 (sold separately).


Versatile BarBed

Versatile BaseLine BarBed

The BaseLine'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 Yakima RoundBars with adapters (Y03536 - sold separately). The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.


Included Torque Tool

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

BaseLine Pitch and Toe Diagram

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

BaseLine DropHook System

The towers install with custom-fit BaseClips (sold separately). 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

4 Pack SKS Lock Cores

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.

Great UX for finding the options matching my car, and the baseline towers work great. Simple straightforward site, will plan to use them again when needed.

For those also buying crossbars for cars without roof rails, recommend taking a silver sharpie and marking the placement of the crossbars on the weather seal at the top of the door openings. Makes putting them back on way less of a hassle if you don’t want them on 24/7.

2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.



by:

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!!



by:

Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.



by: 04/01/2024

Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Once I read the manual they installed e asily.

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.

  • What Kayak Load Assist Can I Use With My Lockrack For My 2016 Subaru WRX
    I do have a solution for you, but will not involve the Lockrack Loading Bar. You will still have to remove, or adjust the orientation, of the arms for this solution to work, but this method would be your only option. You can use the following items to help you load your kayak with the Lockrack Loading Bar. The Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist - Crossbar Mount - Side Loading - 132 lbs, part # RR-RUSL. This load assist bar clamps to your roof top rack and it has a weight limit of 132 lbs....

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2020 Mazda CX-5
    The only hitch mounted option wouldn't be an actual carrier, but a support like the Malone Axis # MAL32VR. This would require the installation of a trailer hitch like the # 76138 you looked at. More than likely you won't need this to mount your kayaks on your 2020 Mazda CX-5. Your kayaks will fit completely on a roof rack with a kayak carrier like the one seen in the picture below unless they are incredibly long. If that is the case, then by all means you could add the # MAL32VR to help...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For A 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning
    The Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RR29XR would be the closest design to a "fixed" system like you were wanting. That being said, I personally prefer the Yakima HD line over most other roof rack/crossbar systems. The HD bars have a much sturdier design and come with fixed mounting points on each end of the crossbars so that you don't have to purchase additional components to secure your accessories. For your 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning you would need the following components...

If you have a roof that has no existing crossbars or rails, I recommend the 2023 Mazda CX-5 Roof Rack by Yakima which consist of the: - Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01156 - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR - HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541 - BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06130 - BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06154 If you have flush mounted...

  • Does Yakima Roof Rack For 2013 Toyota Prius Require Professional Install
    I would tell them they could do it and not to bother with spending money to go to a mechanic or the dealer. Do you have a measuring tape of some sort? If so, that's it regarding the needed tools to install the Yakima rack on your 2013 Toyota Prius. So no tools are needed, it's light as a feather, and all you have to do is some measuring to get it installed. I am 1000% confident this is something you can do on on your own in about 30 minutes without any assistance. The correct fit for the...

  • Parts Needed to Install Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack on 2015 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab
    For your 2015 Toyota Tacoma Yakima has a round bar roof rack that is a confirmed fit but it uses the Baseline towers and not the Skyline towers so you would need the part # Y00409, # Y28TR, # Y03536, # Y06125, # Y06128. This is a 58 inch bar setup and based on install pictures I've seen of this rack on a similar Tacoma a shorter 48 inch bar would not fit.

    I checked with Yakima, and the correct length of crossbars for your 2016 Ford Edge is 60 inches; the 50 inch length will be too small. For your '16 Edge with a panoramic glass roof, the Yakima roof rack system that fits is made up of the following parts: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 (Black) - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR - BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06102 - BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06139 - Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204 I have added links to video reviews...

  • How Can I Tell if I have Fixed Mounting Points on My 2015 Mazda CX-5 for a Crossbar System?
    According to the specs I have, you may have fixed mounting points on those rubber strips on your 2015 Mazda CX-5. The way you can tell is if there is a small removable tab on those rails that cover the holes. I went ahead and attached a video of a 2015 Mazda CX-5 with fixed mounting points to give you perspective about what to look for. If you determine that you have fixed mounting points, I recommend the following setup: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" #...

  • Can Longer Rhino-Rack Crossbars Be Fitted on a 2018 Toyota Prius c
    It looks like the Rhino-Rack crossbars that fit your 2018 Toyota Prius c have the 42" length. Sometimes you can use slightly larger or smaller Rhino-Rack crossbars but since you're wanting to use 54" crossbars that are 12" longer than what fits your vehicle we'll need to find you a different system. and for that I recommend Yakima JetStream system as it's the only roof rack system that doesn't have restrictions on upgrading the crossbars. Here are the parts you need: 50" JetStream Crossbars...

    The best route is to mount your 2 adult bikes to a trunk bike rack and mount the 3 children's bikes onto the roof of your 2019 Ford Fiesta hatchback. For the trunk rack, I recommend going with the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL. The Bones 2 comes with a 35 pound per-bike weight capacity and has anti-sway cradles to eliminate movement during transport. It is important to note that if you have women's-style frames or step-thru adult frames, you need to use a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for those...

  • Why Are 2 Different BaseClips Needed for Yakima Roof Rack on 2018 Chevy Cruze
    The difference between the BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06110 and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06126 just has to do with the length and angle of the clamps that fit to the door jambs on your 2018 Chevy Cruze.

  • Roof Rack Recommend for 2016 Honda CR-V to be Transferred to Truck Camper Shell
    I can definitely help you out with getting the most parts that will transfer over from your 2016 Honda CR-V! The Yakima roof rack is the way to go since it uses the longer 60" bars as they should transfer over to your truck cab nicely. The only problem is that the legs used for the naked roof on your CR-V won't be compatible with a track system so you will need to get new legs and a different fit kit for the tracks on your truck. A lot of truck camper shells do come with a track system...
