SkyLine Towers

The heavy-duty SkyLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima crossbars to your vehicle with fixed mounting points, flush side rails, or tracks. The towers adjust during installation to ensure your crossbars are level. The SkyLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars. The towers install with Yakima's Landing Pad system .


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 Yakima RoundBars with adapters . The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.


Torque Tool

The crossbars mount 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 . 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

4 Pack SKS Lock Cores

SkyLine 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.

Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.

Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze. For the money I wish they came with the core locks.

These crossbars were easy to install and adjust. Be sure to get all the pieces you need. There is no mention of the Landing Pads necessary to use these.

You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks

Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.

  • Roof Rack With Black Crossbars for Pace Edwards BedLocker Rails on 2019 Ford F-350
    Hi Michael; you can use the same fit kit # THKIT3101 and mounting feet # TH460R. However, the longest WingBar Evo is 60" # TH711520 which probably won't be long enough for your truck bed. That is why Conner originally chose the # TH713700 which are 79" long. For bars that are black I recommend switching to a Yakima setup. You will need the following: -Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00221 -SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR -Yakima CoreBar Crossbars -...

  • Can 60 Thule AeroBlade Bars be Used on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the E Group Package
    To determine if you can use the 60" WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711500 or part # TH711520, will fit on your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee you first need to measure the center to center distance between the mounting holes where the Podium feet will sit. I have attached a picture showing where you want to measure. If this measurement falls between 46-1/2" - 59-3/4" then the 60" bars will fit. For your E Group package you also need the Podium Foot Pack # TH460R and the Fit Kit # THKIT3142 to...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Mounting a Thule Hullavator Pro on a 2021 Toyota RAV4
    The Thule Hullavator Pro, part # TH898, does in fact need crossbars that extend 4" - 8" beyond the feet. To use the flush rails on your 2021 Toyota RAV4, you will need a roof rack that has feet that are compatible with the rails. With those two stipulations in mind, the Thule WingBar Evos don't look like they will provide enough clearance with their 47" of crossbar length. Instead, I recommend the Yakima HD Crossbars, part # Y01156. They are 55" long, so they will have the extension you...

  • Can Thule Hullavator Install on Yakima Crossbars
    The Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 can fit round bars by grabbing around the crossbar and can fit aero shaped bars if the bars have a channel on top of them. Which the Yakima aero shaped bars don't have top channels so to go the Yakima route will require round bars which includes the part numbers # Y00408, # Y53TR, # Y03536, and # Y00241 and you'd be set.

  • Yakima Roof Rack for 2023 Subaru Outback With Thule Hullavators
    Hi Tina; I also prefer Yakima so I'm glad we're on the same page. For your 2023 Outback and Hullavators I recommend the JetStream roof rack. You will need the following: -Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 -SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR -Landing Pad 27 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers # Y46VR The JetStream crossbars are extremely quiet so you won't have a bunch of road noise added to your day to day driving. If you want to keep your rack secure you can also add the...

  • What Roof Basket will Attach Directly to My Raised Rails on My 2022 Toyota 4Runner?
    I have a great option for you if you do not like the height of the Yakima LockNLoad # Y05045 with the Timberline Towers # Y33TR on your raised factory side rails on your 2022 Toyota 4Runner. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Yakima that you will need to have the Timberline Towers in order to attach the LockNLoad to your rails. They cannot be mounted without those towers directly to your rails. In order to complete this setup, you also need 2 sets of the LockNLoad SL Adapter for Yakima SkyLine...

  • Parts Needed For A Yakima Roof Rack On A 2021 Ram ProMaster City With Factory Mounting Points
    Hi Phillip, To connect to the factory mounting points on the roof of your 2021 Ram ProMaster City you'll need Landing Pad 22 # Y00248 along with SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR. From there you can go with crossbars like the Jetstream # Y00425 (50") or # Y00426 (60"). I've attached a picture below from Yakima's website showing this fit.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For Attaching A Thule Hullavator To A 2021 Toyota Highlander
    To attach the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898 to your 2021 Toyota Highlander you'll need a roof rack that has a T-Slot in the crossbars for the Hullavator to slide into. Currently the only brand of roof racks we carry for your vehicle that are compatible with your flush mounted rails is Yakima. I recommend the following parts to complete your roof rack: Yakima HD Crossbars - 55" Long # Y01156 SkyLine Towers # Y53TR Landing Pad 28 # Y66VR HD...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Hullavator and Kayak Carrier on 2019 Honda Pilot
    Thank you for all of the information! While you are able to use the Hullavator # TH898 with your setup as far as weight goes, this kayak carrier does require the crossbars to stick out 4" - 8" out past the roof rack feet. Since the Thule SquareBars have a limited amount of space under them for the feet you can only use the 53" Bars # TH712400 but this wouldn't give you the required spacing for the Hullavator. I recommend using the Yakima 60" JetStream Crossbar # Y00426 instead with the...

  • Installation of Yakima Roof Rack on 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Flush Mount Rails
    Assuming your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the black and chrome flush-mounted rails that run front to back, you are correct that the roof racks you mentioned do install into the same place the factory bolts are. I have added links to an installation video of the Yakima JetStream roof rack on a Jeep Grand Cherokee with flush mount rails so you can see exactly how the rack installs.

  • Recommended Yakima Roof Rack Upgrade for Subaru Factory Roof Rack
    The factory roof rack on the 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon has minimal options to fit the factory roof rack which is different than the factory side rails or flush mounted rails. You can use the Landing Pad 15 for Yakima Control Towers - Qty 4 # Y00241 which will allow you to simply remove your factory crossbars and mount these pads in their place. Then you can use the SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR and round bar adapter # Y03536 if you want to use round bars like the 48 inch...

    The best roof rack for your 2020 Kia Soul with a naked roof (fixed mounting points) is from Yakima because it will give your Kia a roof rack that combines effectiveness and style while minimizing any wind noise that can occur with lesser roof racks. This roof rack is made up of: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 - SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR - Landing Pad 22 # Y00248 - Same Key System Lock Cores (Optional) # Y07204 This roof rack will look stellar atop your 2020 Kia...

    Yes, the Yakima roof rack you mentioned that consists of part numbers # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y00233 is a confirmed fit for the roof of your 2018 Subaru WRX and would be a great option. This would then be compatible with the Yakima Forklift part # Y02098 that you mentioned.

  • Will Thule Hullavator Fit a Yakima Roof Rack on a 2018 Subaru Outback
    The Thule Hullavator, # TH898, will fit on a Yakima roof rack so if you like the spacing and looks of the Yakima racks you can certainly go that route for your 2018 Subaru Outback. With the Hullavator the roof rack crossbars need to stick out past the mounting feet by at least 4 inches. What this means you will need to use longer bars than what would normally be recommended for the vehicle. If you go with a round bar system then you will need the following parts: Crossbars # Y00409 SkyLine...

  • Yakima Baseline or Skyline Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Mazda CX-5 for Fixed Point Roof
    The difference between the Yakima Baseline towers and Skyline towers is the style of roof they are intended which in your case indicates how it would install. The Baseline kits are designed for naked roof and will use the door clamps. The Skyline kits are designed for use on vehicles with factory fixed mounting points. Since this is the route you mentioned preferring on your 2016 Mazda CX-5 it would be your best option. That means you'll want the Yakima Skyline Aero Bar kit part numbers...

  • Can I Put A 60" Long Crossbar On A 2022 Subaru Outback
    Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. Yes, it is possible to put a 60" (or longer) crossbar on your 2022 Subaru Outback. I will need to verify a bit more vehicle information before I can recommend the correct parts. Does your outback happen to be the Wilderness edition? Let me know. Also please verify that your Outback has the factory installed raised rails running from front to back. Let me know and I will be able to narrow down the right roof rack. For example, if you do have the Wilderness...

  • Will I Be Able to Use the Thule Hullavator in the Channels of Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars?
    To address your question - yes. The top channels in the Vortex Aero Crossbars in the # Y02-490B are the same dimensions as the Thule channels like in the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420. However, when it comes to finding the fit required for the Thule Hullavator # TH898 on a camper shell, it is a bit complicated. The reason why is because in order for the Hullavator to function in the "down" position, it requires at least 4 inches of crossbar clearance past the feet. In addition...

  • Roof Rack Option For A 2016 Lexus GX460 With Factory Flush Rails
    Good morning, Doug. I do have a potential solution for you, but I am sorry to say that Thule does not make a fit kit for the 2016 Lexus GX460. So, there is unfortunately no way to mount your Thule Evo bars on this vehicle. Our best option would be to get a whole new roof rack. Yakima does make a fit kit for the 2016 GX460 flush rails, so one of their JetStream racks would be a great option that is comparable to Thule. The complete Yakima roof rack consists of the following parts: - Yakima...

  • Parts Needed to Use Yakima SkyLine Tower Setup from ARE Truck Camper on 1998 Jeep Wrangler
    To use your Yakima SkyLine setup on your 1998 Jeep Wrangler you just need the 42" Tracks # Y01126 and 2 sets of the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221. This will then allow you to easily transfer the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR and whatever crossbars you are currently using, like the 50" JetStream # Y00425. Just be sure that the crossbars from your ARE camper shell don't stick out further than the side mirrors on your Jeep. I have attached installation instructions for you to check out.

    The Yakima Jetstream roof rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y00226 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL and it by itself easily has capacity and bar length to carry two of the assisted Thule Hullavator roof racks part # TH898. You'll need to check to make sure the hardtop of your Jeep has the capacity for your two kayaks and the weight of each of the Hullavators as well which weighs right at 40 lbs.
