Speaker 1: Today in our 2016 Honda Pilot, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack System consisting of part numbers Y00409, these are the round crossbars on the top here, and these are 58 inches long.We'll also be using part number Y03536, and this is the Round Bar Adapter Kit for the Yakima towers.We'll also be using part number Y00146. These are the Baseline Towers designed for naked roofs.Finally, to attach it to the vehicle, we're using the Base Clip Fit Kit part number Y06152.This is going to be the same for the rear bars as well. These are great sturdy cross bars for your roof, and car carry a wide variety of accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers, excuse me, cargo baskets, and cargo boxes.While, they are exceptionally sturdy, they do cause noise while you drive. Now, you can purchase fairings that you can find on etrailer.com to help cut down that wind noise and drag, or you can upgrade to the Yakima core bars that also utilize this tower system.Moving onto the towers themselves, at the end caps here, we do have these plastic portions that can be removed and replaced with the Yakima SKS Lock Core System, so you can secure it to your vehicle and make it key to like with the accessories that you're hauling.Removing our end cap here you can see how everything attaches to the vehicle itself. We have the clamp that attaches to the door frame, as well as the pad underneath. So, your vehicle isn't going to get damaged or scratched once this is installed, because the clamp is also padded once it's being installed.So, let's go ahead and show you how the rear bar gets put into place.
We already have it partially assembled on our lovely table over here, With all the parts that you need right in front of it. So, our first step is, we're going to take our adapter kit for the round bar and attach it to our tower.This is a very easy process. You simply take the plastic portion here, push it in on the top, you're going to hear a little bit of a click. We'll take our round bar adapter, attach it to the screw in the center. We'll pull out this tab here, so we can get to the screw, flip it upside down.
We're just going to loosely tighten it so we can get it in place on our bar.Move over to our bar, slide this into place. To help out with this, we're going to flip it on its side here like so. Now we'll take our measuring tape here and measure out the distance between the two towers. You'll find this in your instructions.Move this out a little bit. Now normally what you would do, is you would find the center of the bar and measure out to both sides.
We already know where we had to be at so, kind of cheated a little bit. There we go. Now we'll tighten it down. I'd like to point out something here in a second. That's the tightening tool that comes with the kit.
It does give those audible clicks so you know when everything is torqued to its specifications without overtightening it.Now, one thing I'd like to point out, looking at the underside of our tower here, you're going to see three notches on each side here. One, two three. One, two, three. Knowing which side is the front is very important because that determines the pitch and the tow that you set. The pitch is on this side and we have it set to B, which is the middle notch. The first notch, A, B, C, and so on.On the other side the tow is set to two. One, two, three. We tighten it down with this screw here, which has already been done. Just be sure to take a look at this in your instructions when you're tightening everything down.Next, we'll take our pad here, pointing out that the arrow's going to be facing away from the vehicle, we'll snap that into place on the bottom, and now we're ready to set this on the room of our vehicle.Set it down gently, as to not damage our vehicle while we're doing this. Now, at this point, we're going to measure from center to center of the bars on both side to keep it even, and then we'll make sure that's it's even side to side too.Alright, we're going to want to make a couple adjustments here. Double check the measurements since I kind of had to move it a little. Alright. Looks like we're even on both sides too. Now we can open up our rear doors and start installing our clamps. This isn't necessarily the steps that they have you do in the instructions, but, I find that it make it a little bit easier on us while we're installing this, so we don't have the clamps accidentally making contact while we're setting them into place.So, our first step is we're going to loosen up the bolt here. You can see how this raises up like so. We're going to take our included clamp. We're actually going to loosen this up a little bit, going to push that in, and then, we're going to tighten that bolt that we just loosened up. You see how it's now going against the vehicle. We'll repeat this process on the other side as well.There's some other items you can put on this roof rack system. It can be anything from your ski and snowboard carriers to your kayak carriers as well. A wide variety of objects. Once we have this loosely installed, we'll get it snug up against the door frame on both sides. We'll go back and forth until it's completely tight, and then you hear those clicks from the tool. See how it's tightening down around there There we go. Close that up.Now we can put on our end caps on both the bars and our towers. I'd like to give you a couple final measurements here to give you an idea of how high it sits off the roof once it's installed. From the center of the roof to the bottom of the bar's going to be about two and five eighths of an inch, and from the center to the top is going to be about three and five eighths inches as well. So, that's more than enough space for your accessories that wrap around your bars, so it's not going to make contact with your roof and scuff it up at all.Also, you can still utilize your sunroof once these are installed as well. These bars do have a carrying capacity of 220 pounds once installed, but you should always check your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can take those weights and go by their recommendations.There you have it, for the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack System on our 2016 Honda Pilot.

Extremely quiet, aerodynamic crossbars attach to Yakima towers to create a stylish roof rack for your vehicle. Rubber strips in T-slots push down to load carriers or accessories - no need to trim. Full-length aluminum bars maximize carrying capacity.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!!
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Not a bad setup. I dont believe you need the 60" bars i received as they hang over the edge of your Hyundai. You need to watch your head getting in and out of your vehicle. The Jetstream crossbars are very loud at speeds over 65 mph. Im probably used to it by now, but it is definitely noticeable. Much louder than an older Rhino Rack of similar dimensions i had. Install was simple and took about 30 minutes, just take your time and measure correctly like all roof racks.
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.
product was just what I needed The folks at etrailer were extremely helpufl!!
Easy to install. It probably took 45min. I bought them for my 2024 Expedition to haul a canoe. I have not done that yet but I expect no issues.
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 have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT which has the non-functional roof side bars. Etrailer.com helped me figure this out and gave me several options that would work. As I already have Yakima bike racks - I wanted to stick with the brand. The price on etrailer.com was the same as Yakima but had free shipping and no tax - awesome. Product arrived quickly!
I went with the Yakima 60" Jetstream cross bars, baseline towers, and the appropriate pads and clips.
The Yakima product came with thorough and easy to understand instructions. I was able to get the track installed and working in about an hour - and that was taking it slow and double checking everything. I was very pleased with the fit and finish.
After a test run, there was no wind noise or issue with the rack. Looking forward to taking a road trip next month with it!
Product exactly as expected. Quality bars. Using on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Looks great installed. Little to no wind noise. And, as usual, top notch service by the etrailer crew! Have purchased several items from etrailer over the past 10 years and have always been impressed by how timely they are and how responsive and helpful they have been regarding product questions. They are absolutely the first merchant I go to when shopping on line!
The Yakima rack system for my 2015 Ford Fusion is an awesome product! I hadn't needed to buy aftermarket racks in many years. These are a super solid, beefy, and very well made product. I am very impressed with the quality and fit. Yakima has obviously put lots of design time into them. And etrailer does an outstanding job of making sure you get the right product for your specific need.
I chose this rack specifically because of the spread between the bars - 32" - and for the higher weight limit, as I'm carrying a fishing kayak.
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
Love it! We've made several long trips with full luggage loads.
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
Easy to order and quick to ship. Took a bit of time to get these installed correctly so they fit just right.
1 year later and still love my Yakima JetStream system. I've mostly used them to transport my kayak however I've also been able to transport some big box store items as well. They are very versatile. There is a t-track option as well as wrap around attachments. I've use ladder attachments, eyebolts, and Thule Hullavator in t-track. I've used Malone MegaWing and Yakima Skybox as wrap around attachment. What I really like about the t-track system is that you do not need to cut out the rubber track insert. You simply slide over the rubber, which allows you to adjust your system, on the fly, to load what you need to carry.
Excellent product. These bars are very quiet and look great on our truck. Assembly and installation was straightforward. We've used these bars to secure our large Yakima car top carrier and have traveled on several trips to the mountains and cabin with no issues. I suggest ordering an extra set of end caps as we've lost one in the car wash. However, have had no problems with the bars when going through the car wash.
As always, I GREATLY appreciate the superior product support that etrailer.com provides. They have the best product content on the web, hands down.
Roof rack parts were ordered correctly and shipped quickly.
These Yakima crossbars are a part of the Yakima towers I bought to install on my Jeep Cherokee to hold a pair of Kayaks. They fit great as advertised. In fact I got these discounted as an open box. I would have never known, they look brand new. Thank you etrailer for your great advice, customer service and quick shipping process.
The bars are sturdy, aerodynamic and super strong. I bought this to fit a Yakima Skybox 16 and these worked great. The measurement ticks on the bottom assist with getting the box centered and have a great gasket system that you fit yourself. These mounted pretty quick even in 20 degree weather.
etrailer sold this as a set based on my car and every piece was great and a perfect fit. Communication and tracking info was great and they delivered it a day before promised.
Great product fast shipping
Great! Easy to install!
Great service and great staff. They will have all the technical information you need.
