Question:
I have a 2026 Toyota Highlander, and already own a set of 60inch Yakima Jet Stream Cross bars. I have a Thule Hullavator and need to obtain the components to set it up on the new Highlander. I used Etrailer in the past and was pleased with your amazing service ! Thanks

Great choice Peter, that combo works very well together!
Since you already have 60" Yakima JetStream crossbars # Y00428 and a Thule Hullavator # TH898 , you’re most of the way there. The key now is just getting the correct tower and fit kit for your 2026 Highlander roof type.
If the Highlander has "Flush Rails" this is the correct fit kit
# Y53TR Yakima SkyLine Roof Rack Towers for JetStream Crossbars - Qty 4
# Y66VR Yakima Landing Pad 28
If the Highlander has "No Rails" this is the correct fit kit
# Y28TR Yakima BaseLine Towers for JetStreamCrossbars - Bare Roofs - Qty 4
# Y06132 Custom BaseClips and Pads for Yakima BaseLine Towers
# Y06153 Custom BaseClips and Pads for Yakima BaseLine Towers
