Will Rhino-Rack Crossbars Fit On Yakima BaseLine Towers?

Question

Question:

Based on the expert reply the track/channel dimensions between the Rhino Rack and Yakima roof racks are the same dimensions, I have the following question: Will a set of Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars fit my Yakima BaseLine towers? The connection is via a t-slot so Im thinking this would work.

The top channel on most crossbars like the Rhino-Rack and Yakima are similar but you should never mix and match towers and crossbars between different manufacturers. Their components are designed to work specifically with each other and your Yakima towers may not work properly with the Rhino-Rack crossbars. Instead you will want to stay with the Yakima crossbars from the list below to ensure they fit together properly and you have a manufacturer who will stand behind the warranty for the parts because they will void your warranty if you used a different manufacturers crossbars.
