Features:
Yakima HD 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.

Heavy-duty crossbars mount to Yakima towers to create an aftermarket roof rack. Top and bottom channels let you add channel-mount accessories. Tie-down points in endcaps let you easily secure cargo.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!!
etrailer was a great place to order, quick and easy. Yakima products however are over priced and overly complicated.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
I have been a loyal customer of e-trailer for several years, having purchased multiple items in the past with satisfactory results. Unfortunately, this recent purchase has been a disappointing experience.
I ordered a cross-bar kit for my 2023 Honda Pilot, specifically this kit: which is supposed to be compatible with my vehicle.
Upon receiving my order, I noticed that the crossbar box indicated the need for the "HD Bar SL adapter" when used with the Timberline Towers. However, this essential part was not included in the order, rendering the crossbar kit unusable for my vehicle due to the missing parts.
After calling customer service on two separate occasions, they have not been able to acknowledge that the kit should have included the required parts and therefore have not resolved their error by shipping the required parts. I will be returning the entire order and will take my business elsewhere.
These adapters were easy to install and made my system fit together nicely.
Great product, as are all Yakima products,in my opinion. These are on a Yakima system installed on my Diamond Back tonneau cover. Very pleased with them
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.
We purchased the rack 5 weeks in advance of our up and coming trip. (Rack is amazing FYI). However, The website states free shipping over a certain amount. Weeks went by with notifications nothing was sent and the order kept being pushed back.
Once I called I was told those who chose to purchase shipping vs opting for the free shipping got their orders firsts; everyone else fell to the bottom. After waiting a month for “free shipping” I opted to have paid shipping and I received the rack within days.
While this company has many products I could use, I refuse to use them again because what is advertised is NOT what they ethically hold themselves accountable too.
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 had a difficult time identifying whether these were the correct adapters for the rack towers that I was purchasing to fit my tracks but that has more to do with yakima doing everything a-la-cart instead of having kits that include everything you need if I hadn't already had the HD bars on my other rack and wanted to be able to transfer them to this rack I probably wouldn't have went to this expense because I think they are overpriced.AS far as etrailer is concerned I always receive great service and products and they are always well packaged and never damaged by poor delivery care and always fast delivery speed.
Yakima OverHaul HD is built tough, sturdy, light but heave duty, well designed, easy to install and remove by leaving the locking base on the track. The height can be adjusted easily to a desired height to fit just right. The "bonus" is a beer bottle opener on each rail :)
Customer service at etrailer is excellent! Always responsive, immediately reply to help with any questions. Tayler K. was my sales representative, she's been super!
Your service is nothing short of excellent! Thank you
While putting the roof racks together, one needs to pay close attention to the detailed instructions; but, so far, the equipment is working well with a good fit on my Toyota highlander—I’ve traveled some 1000 miles so far.
Great product and even better was the service with etrailer! These guys make it happen and delivery was super fast. Thanks for a fantastic experience, will be a return customer.
Yakima HD bars 60”

Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
The Yakima products are doing great. Just got home yesterday from a 18 day trip using them in Michigan's upper peninsula. Love them. Great products. Thanks again.

These are some heavy duty crossbars.
Owned several surfboard racks in 45 years and these are by far the best.
Great tie downs also.
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
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
Great company. Fast delivery.
The roof rack works well. The only problem I have is noise and while I'm carrying a ladder there is none. I figured if I take the ladder off I'll split a piece of pvc pipe and mount that on the front of it. But they work well for what I needed for work. The service from etrailer was excellant. I dealt with Carol and she did a very good job in helping me.
