Helpful Expert Reply:

Roof rack manufacturers have parts that only fit with their product line so if you have Yakima SkyLine Towers for your 2021 Toyota Highlander (with flush rails) then you need the following parts to have a complete roof rack system:

- 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 28 # Y66VR
- Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional)

While I do like the design of the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars a little more than the Yakima alternative, the JetStream Crossbars are still on par with the WingBar Evo as being some of the best in the market, and a plus side is you still won't have to trim the rubber insert if you install a T-Slot accessory.
