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.

Works perfect for our SUP with the tie down loops. Great for building materials as well. Looks great as well.
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!!
I ordered the Yakima roof rack for a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq. I went with the heavy duty one for extra strength but it is quite a bit thicker, likely increasing wind noise. So I might have chosen the aerodynamic lighter weight one if I was to do it again. Also, I needed to get larger bolts for my kayak holder to get around the crossbar. The instructions and video on website were very helpful but they did not explain well how to adjust the toe and pitch. For the toe adjustment, you have to push the metal post with the tool before tightening. That was not obvious. For the pitch, it helped to do that once the towers are attached to crossbar. Then you can tilt tower while cross bar is laying flat (upside down). I ended up having to add tilt on both front and back crossbars for them to be flat when installed. Website said only front one would need to be pitched. I am very pleased with the look and sturdiness of the product. My Hyundai Dealer had zero options for this car.
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
You sold me used equipment at new prices. What a rip off. Your company is a joke! No worries, you’ll not have to worry about screwing up another order for me in the future. I’ve learned my lesson not to deal with your customer service.
These adapters were easy to install and made my system fit together nicely.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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.
The customer service in ordering theses par tea was amazing!! I spoke with a wonderful specialist named Kate F, and she was super helpful and patient answering all my questions and helping me make sure I had the correct parts I needed for my type of car. The bars are very sturdy and have proven very worth the money!!
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.
Your service is nothing short of excellent! Thank you
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”
2018 Ford Expedition
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.
Well packaged and on time
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.
Easily supports the RoofNest! The Customer Service with Roger was Excellent!
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
Great company. Fast delivery.
They fit perfectlly and solidly on my 2021 Toyota Highlander. The instructions are clear and entirely accurate.
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.
Roof rack parts were ordered correctly and shipped quickly.
