Yakima Roundbars - 58" Long - Black - Qty 2:Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we have a 2011 Ford Flex and were going to be test fitting the Yakima Roof Rack System. Well be using the 58-inch crossbars part number Y00409, two sets of the Q131 clips part number Y00731, as well as the Q towers part number Y00124. We already have our crossbars assembled according to the instructions so now were ready to mount them up on top of the vehicle. First well open the driver and passenger side front doors and well place the front crossbar assembly up on top of the roof. Well measure 20 inches from the edge of the windshield to the leading edge of the Q towers on both sides of the vehicle. Once we have the crossbar in position we can adjust the thumb screws and clamp down our Q towers.
Then we can close the front doors and open the rear doors. Well pick up our rear bar and set it into place. To position our rear bar we need to measure 36 inches from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. This measurement is also known as the crossbar spread and will come in handy once selecting accessories to use with your new roof rack. Once we have the rear bar positioned, again, well adjust the thumb screws and then close the clamping doors on our Q towers.
And with that our roof rack is installed and were ready to start mounting your accessories. Thats it for our test fit of the Yakima Roof Rack System on our 2011 Ford Flex.

As for the application, I needed more space to fit my cargo box on top of my 4Runner TRD Pro’s rack. I came up this this… Thank you!
Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
Works perfectly. I am always impressed that Yakima continues to make parts for the "old roundbars" since they have since moved on to the superior JetStream bars.
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
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.
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
A great company to do business with, and lots of merchandise in stock. I orderd a roof rack for my truck on Tuesday morning and it was on the porch when I returned from work on Thursday. I will deffinitely order more from etrailer.com
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
Parts arrived as advertised for the model
Car so happy to find the right fit
But super pricy for some plastic.
At first, a little tricky to install, as the kit comes with hardware for a variety of applications (different length/size bolts, etc). But after a quick look at the directions and identifying which bolt to use for my car, install was a breeze. I love this Yakima setup because I can remove the bars/towers and leave the landing pads with a cap. Makes it great for taking the canoe out on weekend trips, but not taking the fuel-economy hit during the weekday commute to work.
You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks
Great first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
I have been using Yakima racks for around 40 years and have never had any problems. However, I am amazed at the price increases over the years. Etrailer prices were by far lower than most. Overall, a very excellent purchase.
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
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.
Haven’t used them yet but they should work as expected
first try was missing what was needed
Etrailer helped. It was great!
I'm happy that this allows me to save money by using my old round bars on my new vehicle, with only the purchase of new "towers" and these adapters.
Great company. Fast delivery.
E trailer has me me spoiled yet again! If only I could expect this level of service from other suppliers.
My experience with etrailer has been excellent. There was going to be a potential delay in one of the products, but their customer service promptly informed me, half the price of some of their competitors so can't really complain. In the end they got the part ahead of schedule and was able to ship in a timely manner. I will definitely keep them in mind for future purchases.
Works great to use my round bars on the Skyline towers.
