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.

These crossbars combine the strength of steel with an aerodynamic shape to create a heavy-duty yet quiet roof rack for your vehicle. Full-length bars maximize cargo carrying capacity and work with most clamp-on accessories.From start to finish, the folks at etrailer -- and I spoke to several people there, so it was a consistent corporate vibe -- were fantastic to deal with.
There were delays in getting my product that were on the supplier side and out of etrailer's control, yet etrailer folks kept me up to date and also worked on a customized solution.
My goal was to be able to carry my surfboard on the roof of our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe to the beach more than 3 hours away. But the particular model we had had no existing racks, no recessed areas, nothing to fix racks to. Not even the dealer had a solution. I was sh*t out of luck.
But etrailer hooked me up. The racks did take me a while to put on, but most of that time was fine tuning to reduce “hum” while driving. I’m very happy with them.
Thanks to etrailer, I have gone surfing and can go surfing whenever I'd like to.
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've just recently installed this setup on my 2015 Toyota Camry.
etrailer - Shopping for this rack was fairly simple, and the shipping from etrailer was quick and reliable. I received the rack in 2 different shipments but they both arrived at the same time. etrailer made sure the all the contents were available. They also have several resourceful videos on their YouTube page, which was helpful while shopping for the rack and during a few trouble shooting items while I was installing.
Yakima Core Bar - Overall a quality product. Everything necessary was supplied, including a handy measuring tape and some very well written instructions. The fit is clean and very sturdy. The only qualm I have is that the hex hole in the large anchor bolts are a bit larger than the supplied hex driver. Toward the end of the installation, the tool was worn and ended up turning inside the bolt itself (not due to over torquing whatsoever). I ended up having to use a hex set I had in my toolbox to complete the installation because the provided tool was starting to strip out the anchor bolt. With that said, the kit is still a great kit that meets my expectations.
Wind noise is quieter than my OEM VW bars on my 2017 Volkswagen GTI. It's noticeable, but nothing extreme - I believe that's just the price you pay when adding crossbars to a vehicle.
Verdict - etrailer has definitely met my expectations, and the Yakima kit provided is a well designed kit that fits well!
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
As described! Quick delivery!
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
Very good product. The Yakama towers and cross bars feel very solid and appears to be high quality. Very easy install. Others have complained about the instructions, but guess I'm a visual person because the pictures all seemed very clear to me and the install was very easy. They do sit higher than I expected. After adding a Rhino Rack cargo basket, we only have about 4-5" clearance below the garage door.
Great product 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.
These crossbars feel like they are well made and sturdy. It took less than 30 minutes to install with the Ridgeline Towers. I love the look of the bars! Can't wait to load the Kayaks up and get out on the water.
Roof rack fits and works as advertised. Over the phone customer support for sales and install directions were very helpful and thorough. Geoff is an excellent brand ambassador who goes above and beyond to fulfill customer expectations. I will definitely be shopping at etrailer for my future vehicle needs. Well done!
Timely delivery of my order, as usual! Easy to install on my 2015 4Runner. After I had the mounts ready and put on both bars, I installed the front one and fine-tuned it, the second took even less time then. I now have the ability to carry up to 3 kayaks, perfect! etrailer is a great company!
I love the ease of removing my crossbars at the end of the season with these landing pads. Highly recommend these.
Great company. Fast delivery.
Should include extra end caps just in case they fall off.
My experience with etrailer has been excellent. There was going to be a potential delay in one of the products, but their customer service promptly informed me, half the price of some of their competitors so can't really complain. In the end they got the part ahead of schedule and was able to ship in a timely manner. I will definitely keep them in mind for future purchases.
Customer service was excellent, they called me to tell me one item was backordered and how long it would be. Package was shipped with enough packing material. Install was pretty easy, some of the Yakima measurements in the manual are a couple inches off but no big deal. This will be used to carry a box for when the family takes trips. Can pile all the luggage up top and have more room in the car. I would recommend the Yakima corebar roof rack and etrailer! Their price was lower than 2 other sites I checked.
I am thrilled this got delivered sooner than anticipated! It was quite easy to install once you started actually putting it together and measuring everything out. I like that this can easily be removed and installed onto the vehicle.
Very happy with the Yakima roof top rack kit for my 2017 Ford Edge with glass roof. The instructions were a little confusing at first, but after reading through them a couple of times while working with the product they became much clearer. The Yakima fit site was helpful as well. After the initial cross bar mounting measurements and set up, attaching and detaching the racks from the roof is a very simple process.
Wonderful service from Kimberly at etrailer.com. I had ordered a roof rack in December for I car I had on order. Ultimately I purchased a different vehicle more than 3 months later and the roof rack and mounting parts were not compatible. I had no problem returning the unopened products and just needed to pay the postage. Kimberly made the process easy and seamless, making sure to send the new Yakama cross bars and necessary parts. It fits beautifully on my new car and setup was fairly simple with video support and step-by-step instructions.
