Features:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars - 60" Long - Black - Qty 2:Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today on our 2012 Ford Focus we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Roof Rack System, consisting in part numbers Y00426, and those are going to be the Yakima JetStream crossbars, part number Y00146, and those are going to be the BaseLine towers for the crossbars, and part numbers Y06135 and Y06105. Those are going to be the BaseClip Fit Kits for those towers. Now, we already have the front one installed. You can see it has a nice, aerodynamic shape which is going to cut down wind noise and drag. With the two bars together they have a combined carrying capacity of 165 pounds, although you want to double check with your manufacturer's manual to make sure that your vehicle can withstand that kind of weight. Let's go ahead and show you how the rear one installs. We already have it partially assembled on our table here, and we'll finish it up.
Now, before we actually install anything you want to make sure that your towers have the proper settings for the bars. This one is set up for the JetLine . JetLine JetStream bars, excuse me. We'll go ahead and and slide them. I'll just move this around so you can see it.
We're going to slide them into this channel here, like so. You may have to loosen it up just a little bit to make sure that it will go in. It comes with a tool to do so. Then, we'll measure out to make sure that it's in its proper place. Go ahead and put this bolt on the inside here.
Tighten it down. Tighten this down as well. All right, next step is we're going to take our padded foot here and we're going to connect it to this point here. Okay, now at this point you would take your rubber strip and you would cut it to length to put it in the center here, but for demonstration purposes we'll just leave that aside for now. Next I'm going to go ahead and open our rear doors and put our crossbar into place. Try to set them on as evenly as possible.
Then we'll take our measuring tape and measure out the crossbar spread from center to center. You can find this in your instructions, this measurement. It's looking pretty good there. Go to the other side and repeat this process. All right, I'm going to make sure that they're evenly on both sides there. Looks like I may have to move it over a little bit. Now we can insert our clamps. These come with the BaseClip Fit Kits. See that it has this hole or notch here at the top. We'll open up our door here on our tower and we'll lift up this portion. I'm going to have to come around here. This portion here on the inside. Slide in our clip until it catches. We'll do this on the other side as well. All right, now with those in place, now we can start to tighten them down. We can get them snug at first on both sides and then tighten them down evenly back and forth. Once these are completely tightened, you will hear a clicking sound coming from the tool. Now, some accessories you can put on these roof racks are going to be bike racks, cargo baskets, cargo bags, cargo boxes, as well as ski carriers, kayak carriers. There's the click I was talking about. Shut that down. There's a wide variety of things you can put up here. There we go. Shut that door there. Now, we can put on our end caps as well as the end caps to our towers. With these, I would like to point out that there is a point here where you can knock that plastic portion out and insert a lock core for additional security. Just pop that in like so. Then, finally, our end caps. We'll just slide it into place at the ends here. All right, and there you have it for the Yakima Roof Rack System on our 2012 Ford Focus.

Extremely quiet, aerodynamic crossbars attach to Yakima towers to create a stylish roof rack for your vehicle. Rubber strips in T-slots push down to load carriers or accessories - no need to trim. Full-length aluminum bars maximize carrying capacity.Excellent solution for my 2023 Chevy Silverado. In the past, I have had rails installed on the roof of my pickup trucks, but I find the BaseLine towers to be a better solution, since they don't permanently change the truck. Plus, they are much more solid than SkyLine system on the rails.
Love my Yakima roof rack!! It exceeds my expectations.great product. Also thank etrailer for the tec support! great staff always there to help thanks again!!
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Not a bad setup. I dont believe you need the 60" bars i received as they hang over the edge of your Hyundai. You need to watch your head getting in and out of your vehicle. The Jetstream crossbars are very loud at speeds over 65 mph. Im probably used to it by now, but it is definitely noticeable. Much louder than an older Rhino Rack of similar dimensions i had. Install was simple and took about 30 minutes, just take your time and measure correctly like all roof racks.
Your notice of schemes was a lot better than the yakima site provided. They did not suggest the scheme you did.
But when the products arrived, the instructions were by yakima. Generally worked as instructed except the tower to tower transverse mounting dimensions needed to be tweaked for a perfect fit.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
product was just what I needed The folks at etrailer were extremely helpufl!!
Easy to install. It probably took 45min. I bought them for my 2024 Expedition to haul a canoe. I have not done that yet but I expect no issues.
Ackage came 2 days early the install was somewhat easy (did it by myself)
Did not get to mount anything to it but seems really sturdy. One thing I can say is mark out your mounting points with provided stickers then put up and make adjustments to the roof rack.
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT which has the non-functional roof side bars. Etrailer.com helped me figure this out and gave me several options that would work. As I already have Yakima bike racks - I wanted to stick with the brand. The price on etrailer.com was the same as Yakima but had free shipping and no tax - awesome. Product arrived quickly!
I went with the Yakima 60" Jetstream cross bars, baseline towers, and the appropriate pads and clips.
The Yakima product came with thorough and easy to understand instructions. I was able to get the track installed and working in about an hour - and that was taking it slow and double checking everything. I was very pleased with the fit and finish.
After a test run, there was no wind noise or issue with the rack. Looking forward to taking a road trip next month with it!
Product exactly as expected. Quality bars. Using on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Looks great installed. Little to no wind noise. And, as usual, top notch service by the etrailer crew! Have purchased several items from etrailer over the past 10 years and have always been impressed by how timely they are and how responsive and helpful they have been regarding product questions. They are absolutely the first merchant I go to when shopping on line!
The Yakima rack system for my 2015 Ford Fusion is an awesome product! I hadn't needed to buy aftermarket racks in many years. These are a super solid, beefy, and very well made product. I am very impressed with the quality and fit. Yakima has obviously put lots of design time into them. And etrailer does an outstanding job of making sure you get the right product for your specific need.
I chose this rack specifically because of the spread between the bars - 32" - and for the higher weight limit, as I'm carrying a fishing kayak.
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Love it! We've made several long trips with full luggage loads.
So far so good. Purchased these towers to use on a 2022 GMC Canyon with HD bars that I already had, primarily to carry my canoe. Yakima's fitting instructions worked perfectly and the whole system seems really solid.
Well packaged and on time
Easy to order and quick to ship. Took a bit of time to get these installed correctly so they fit just right.
1 year later and still love my Yakima JetStream system. I've mostly used them to transport my kayak however I've also been able to transport some big box store items as well. They are very versatile. There is a t-track option as well as wrap around attachments. I've use ladder attachments, eyebolts, and Thule Hullavator in t-track. I've used Malone MegaWing and Yakima Skybox as wrap around attachment. What I really like about the t-track system is that you do not need to cut out the rubber track insert. You simply slide over the rubber, which allows you to adjust your system, on the fly, to load what you need to carry.
Excellent product. These bars are very quiet and look great on our truck. Assembly and installation was straightforward. We've used these bars to secure our large Yakima car top carrier and have traveled on several trips to the mountains and cabin with no issues. I suggest ordering an extra set of end caps as we've lost one in the car wash. However, have had no problems with the bars when going through the car wash.
As always, I GREATLY appreciate the superior product support that etrailer.com provides. They have the best product content on the web, hands down.
Roof rack parts were ordered correctly and shipped quickly.
etrailer did an amazing job of having their collective together with regards to my latest order for a roof top rack. First of all, when you go to one these manufacturer websites, either thule, or Yakima, you realize just how complicated this task can be. etrailer does all of that for you. Package arrived earlier than expected and everything was correct the first time. I installed the product myself in under an hour. Done, Done, and Done.
thanks etrailer
These Yakima crossbars are a part of the Yakima towers I bought to install on my Jeep Cherokee to hold a pair of Kayaks. They fit great as advertised. In fact I got these discounted as an open box. I would have never known, they look brand new. Thank you etrailer for your great advice, customer service and quick shipping process.
The bars are sturdy, aerodynamic and super strong. I bought this to fit a Yakima Skybox 16 and these worked great. The measurement ticks on the bottom assist with getting the box centered and have a great gasket system that you fit yourself. These mounted pretty quick even in 20 degree weather.
etrailer sold this as a set based on my car and every piece was great and a perfect fit. Communication and tracking info was great and they delivered it a day before promised.
Great product fast shipping
Great! Easy to install!
