Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Honda CR-V, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima JetStream roof rack system. This is going to be consisting of part numbers Y00425, these are the JetStream crossbars. Part number Y00148, these are the SkyLine Towers, and they kind of snap into place with our landing pads. And the landing pads are going to be part number Y00245. This is specifically for the Honda CR-V.It attaches to two pre-attachment points on the actual flush mounted side rails of your CR-V, and these bars are designed to work with a wide variety of accessories. This helps you put anything you don't want inside the vehicle, outside, or just to free up a little bit more space if you need to.
It can work with bike racks, cargo baskets, or cargo boxes, and the general shape of the bars is going to be an aerodynamic shape. That's going to help cut down wind noise and drag while you drive.Moving our end cap here, this also works with T-Track accessories, but unlike the others, you actually just push down the strip at the top here so the T-Track accessory just slides in there that way. A lot of the other styles out there, you'll have to remove the strip, cut it to length, and kind of go through a hassle to get this installed, and this eliminates that for you.At the ends here, we do have these plastic locks that can be taken out and removed, and replaced with the Yakima SKS lock system, so you can secure this to your vehicle and also make inaudible 00:01:28 with your accessories that you're hauling. And, once everything is finished with your trip, these just can pop out of place by opening the ends and we have these plastic pieces that fit on top here, so you don't have to remove the mounts, and they're ready to go for next time.Now that we've shown you how this looks here, let's go ahead and show you how it actually installs. We have our rear bar partially assembled on our table here.
We'll go through the process of installing it onto our vehicle. We have the bar and the towers applied on one side, so our next step is we're going to go to the tower here as well as the fit kit for our actual bar, and install that on the other side.Starting with our plastic piece here that just pushes in place on top of our tower until you hear a light click. Then we'll take our metal piece here, which attaches to this screw on the inside. Then you tighten that down with the included tool. You're going to hear two or three audible clicks once this is done, like so.
Then we can slide this into the bottom of the bar. Then our final step is putting in our end cap.Now we can move on to our actual mounting point here. We'll take the padded portion and these points here will fit into the holes in the bottom. Just kind of match up. Then just push them into place like so.
Then we'll take the screws and the flat washers and install them onto our fixed mounting points onto our flush mount side rails. Find our points, and find the proper configuration, too, that works best for your vehicle. We'll get these finger tightened first. Then we use the tightening tool and finish them off.Now we can take our bar and set it into place as well, making sure that they're open all the way. We'll set them into our cradles. Our landing pads, I should say. And then we'll get the crossbar overhang figured out as well. You're going to want to make sure that that's even on both sides. Have to loosen it up just a little bit. And try not to do that. There we go. All right, that looks good. Our final step is to tighten down the bolt in the center here. This is going to tighten up the tower to our bar. That's done. Close this up, and that'll lock it to the landing pad, and repeat this on the driver's side as well.Next, I'm going to give you a couple quick measurements here that'll help you out in regards to the height that it's going to add to your vehicle. We're going to start in the center of the roof and measure to the bottom and the top of the bar. From the center to the bottom, it's going to be about five inches. From the center to the top, it's going to be about five and seven eighths inches, so that's adding quite a bit to the top of your roof, so keep that in mind when you have your bike racks and your cargo baskets fully loaded when you're pulling it into your garage. And this roof rack system does have 165 pounds of carrying capacity once installed, but you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual and go by its recommendations, and go by the smaller of the two numbers. And there you have it for the Yakima JetStream roof rack system on our 2017 Honda CR-V.

Designed for use in the Australian Outback, this rugged platform lets you bring whatever gear you might need for your next adventure. Compatible with many Yakima off-road and traditional roof rack accessories.My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee used landing pads 18 to mount to the roof my newer 2023 JGC uses landing pad 19. I was able to change the pads thanks to etrailer and install my older roof rack on my newer Jeep. I love that the majority of my roof rack is upgrade-able.
In the confusing world of roof racks, the etrailor site had a locator tool that made it easy to identify the correct landing pads and towers for my vehicle.
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.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
I had cross bars and landing pads on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought these to put on my wife’s new Grand Cherokee L. They were extremely easy to install and now I can easily move the roof rails between the two vehicles. They are a great product as is most of Yakima’s products. I highly recommend them.
You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks
I have these installed on a 2022 Honda Pilot. I could not get them to fit on my raised roof rails with the included rubber gaskets. I have mounted them without the gasket but this leaves a gap between the rail and the landing pad. This seems secure but does not have a finished look. I will be trying to see how to get the gaskets to fit.
great service
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.
Great company. Fast delivery.
I love the ease of removing my crossbars at the end of the season with these landing pads. Highly recommend these.
I am going to include the Landing Pads, Skyline Towers, LockNLoad adapters, and Pivoting Mounts that are all required for my vehicle in this review of the 84" x 54" LockNLoad Platform. First, I had done months of research trying to figure out what would work and meet my needs for a 2008 GMC Yukon XL. Without the help of etrailer's agent, Ashley, I'd probably still be trying to figure things out! Ashley was patient and thorough, she made sure I had all the parts I needed for a fairly complex (and large!)project. I cannot thank her enough!
On to the assembly and installation: Ashley confirmed that following instructions was key to efficient building - I found that combining online instructions with the included hard copies worked best. As an example, the online fastener images and descriptions are far better than the paper ones. Then, having the paper instructions in hand made "in the moment" progress much faster. All of the Yakima parts fit together perfectly, and by methodically following the instructions (I cannot stress this enough!), including pre assembling Landing Pads, Towers, and Pivoting Mounts, there was no need to backtrack. Once I had a day to devote to the project, everything went very smoothly. Placing the large Platform on the mounts does require two people, but the rest was easy for one fairly handy person to accomplish. Making adjustments to be sure the Platform is centered and square to the roof took some time but it's worth it in the end. Again, thanks to etrailer and particularly Ashley! It was a pleasure doing business with you!
Exactly what we needed to use our old Yakima bars and kayak sharks with our new Ford Explorer. Our old car, a Ford Expedition, used the same round Yakima bars and kayak sharks but had a different roof rack. Instead of paying $800+ to get a whole new kayak rack system... the adapters we got from etrailer helped us used all the old equipment :)
I have a Buick Envision and it seemed as if it would be difficult to get the correct rack, but it turned out to be easy. I entered my vehicle info and was directed to the Yakima Skyline with flush rails. It was easy to install and they look great. I will be able to take my canoe out with no problem! Joe
Yakima Landing pads are vehicle specific. Good quality mounts are supplied with good stainless steel fasteners. Required as a base for the towers.
Excellent customer service! I felt like I had a personal shopper in the care Sherry S. offered!
These really look so much better then the factory racks! Easy to install. Easy to order! Great product!
Love the Yakima LocknLoad 55x49 Platform.. would have been nicer if it was just a few inches longer. Fits really well on the 2019 Grand Cherokee.. and looks even better but at highway speeds (60mph+) you will hear it up there... I've also noticed .5 mpg less which is no biggie...I didn't think the Landing Pads (18) were very stable but once in place.. its rock solid!
Yakima racks are always a good choice. Etrailer made it easy for me to know all the parts I needed and it was so easy to install!
I like the strength of the Yakima brand and it looks great. It does seem a bit more complicated than might be necessary. I know they have to fit to many different cars but the matching of components is confusing and the installation less than intuitive. The end result is great and etrailers is awesome in every way!
Yakima Towers and Pads arrived on time and all in order. Service was extremely fast and the price was better than every other site I looked through.
It was exactly what I ordered
Great company. Fair price. Product as advertised. Fast and free delivety.
Very nice fit to my Bolt EUV
