Speaker 1: Today on our 2013 Honda Accord, we're gonna be test fitting the Yakima RoundBar roof rack system, consisting of part numbers Y00409. These are the round 50-inch crossbars for the Yakima roof rack systems. Part number Y00146, theses are the baseline towers for the Yakima crossbars. Part number Y03536, this is the RoundBar SL adapter for the Yakima baseline, Skyline, Timberline and Ridgeline towers. Part number Y06148 and Y006150, and these are the base clip fit kits that you're gonna need for your vehicle.The Yakima RoundBar roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your rook or freeing up space inside your vehicle. These bars are tough and durable, and together have a combined carrying capacity of 220 pounds, but you always wanna check with your vehicle's manual to make sure you roof can withstand those weights.They're very easy to install.
They simple clamp around your vehicles doorframe. They come with these end caps here that just snap into place and also have a knock out for Yakima same-key lock system, which when installed, can secure not only your roof rack to your vehicle, but you can also make it key to like with whatever accessories you're installing on top of it.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack system, let's go ahead and show you how it installs. We already have our rear bar partially assembled on our table and we'll go through the rest of the steps. We'll start by installing our RoundBar adapter, starting with this plastic piece here that fits to the top portion of our tower. Just snaps into place.
We'll take our round bar adapter, which has this screw end on the bottom of it, line it up with that portion there, and we'll come to the end of this, pulling out this gray tab, flipping it upside down, going to the screw, which by loosening up that gray tab we can see now. Let's loosely install it at the moment. Then, we'll slide it on to the other end of our bar.We'll also install the pad portion of our fit kit. It just pushes in at the bottom of our tower until you hear a little bit of a click. Also, you wanna check your fit guide to make sure that this is in the proper notch.
If not, you loosen up the screw there and push it into its proper place. You can see that it moves our pad here. Once it's in its proper place, turn it to the side like that.Now, we're gonna measure it from tower to tower on the inside. Again, this measurement's gonna be in your instructions. Once you got that measurement down, we'll come back to that screw in the bottom here with our adapter piece and tighten it down the rest of the way.
You're gonna hear audible clicks once it's tightened down from our tool here. Like that. There you know it's tightened down enough and you're not gonna over-tighten it.Next, we'll put on our end caps here to hold everything in place. Do this on both sides.Now, we're ready to install it on the rear portion of our vehicle. We'll open up both doors to get ready to receive the rear cross bar. Set the bar in place. I want you to notice that I haven't put the clips in yet. I'm gonna do that in a second. I kind of saved that for the last thing that I do because I don't want the clips to possibly make contact with the roof of the vehicle and possibly scratch it. Make sure they're set evenly on both sides. Next, I'm gonna get the crossbar spread measurement. That's gonna be from center of the bar to center of the front bar. You'll find this measurement in your instructions as well.Next, I'll open up the little door here and our plate will slide to the inside like so. Then, we'll turn this screw. That's gonna lower our clamp onto our vehicle, as you can see there. We'll repeat this for the other side. Next, we'll tighten it down with the center screw here. Again, until you hear those two or three audible clicks. There we go. Then we can close that up. Then we'll put our end caps on. These two portions here fit into these hook portions there. Then they just snap into place. Now, we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road.There you have it for the Yakima RoundBar roof rack system on our 2013 Honda Accord.

Knowledgeable sales rep.Help me through the process on purchasing my roof rack Recommended to anyone quality parts
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!!
For a 2015 Mazda 3, 4 door sedan.
I used the 50" jetstream bars with the skyline towers and the #22 Landing Pads.
Went together easy, great quality, very solid feeling! And, easy to remove and install when needed.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
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.
Still look and work great after a year. Fantastic investment and they didn't reduce my fuel economy. They don't produce a lot of wind noise either.
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 chose Yakima because I had one in the past and they were always reliable. Thule was my next choice but didn’t like the look of 53’ crossbars on my car. I really appreciated the easy to follow instruction that made installation a breeze. The kit came complete with everything I needed to install right out of the box. I purchased the 2 Hightower bike racks to go with the roof rack system and plan to safely secure both bikes for our trips. It was a bit heavier than I anticipated (combined with the bike carriers) which will hurt my MPG but having easy access to disassemble the bike carriers when not in use made it a no brained. Additionally, I love the look of the system on my car.
I waited several weeks for roof rack to arrive after ordering online. I am accustomed to Thule racks, but could not find any towers/bases to fit the 2019 Santa Fe. Once here, the Yakima rack mounted with ease and I look forward to hauling kayaks or basket on the roof.
Thank you etrailer.
Great bars and easy installation on my 2012 Prius C
The yakima jetstream crossbar looks beautiful. Quality is great. Took my vehicle for a test drive, and i didnt hear anything loose or broken from the bars. Very satisfied with the product and the instructions were great. It was my first time installing a roof rack too.
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Lightweight and actually quite quiet with no attachments on them. With my bike racks there is a fair amount of noise but it doesn't come from just these. Mine is on a 2011 BMW 335.
The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. I love that there's a rubber piece in the top rail that doesn't need to be cut, which makes it a very flush and smooth fit. I also love the modularity and the weight that it can handle, especially for the stuff i plan on carrying.
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
not installed yet but everything was delivered on time and in good condition
Super solid rack and the only one that fits the Jeep Cherokee without rails well and looks good too. Easy to install and worth the price
the product was exceptional. I would recommend it to anyone, who has a vehicle with a naked roof. It is a solid as a factory installed rack. Josh went out of his way to get me a replacement torque screw driver because the first one from Yakima was working properly.
Very happy with our purchase. I love how easily you can remove the entire rack easily. Too bad the locking mechanism comes separately but we are still happy with what we received.
Great product. Great service.
