Today on our 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack System with CoreBars. That consists of the 60" Yakima CoreBars, part number Y00422, the BaseLine Towers, part number Y00146, and the BaseClip Fit Kits for Hyundai Santa Fes, part number Y06130 and Y06133. This heavy duty, yet quiet, roof rack system maximizes the carrying capacity of your Santa Fe. The aerodynamic teardrop shape controls air flow to minimize wind noise and vibration. These steel crossbars are going to allow you to attach a wide variety of accessories to your Santa Fe's roof, such as bike racks, boat carriers, and roof mounted cargo baskets. The BaseLine towers are going to support our CoreBars and the BaseClips are going to provide a custom fit to our Santa Fe. For more security, you could pick up the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores with part number Y07204. It's an easy installation. We'll go ahead and show you that now.
I've already got the front one installed on my Santa Fe. Let's go ahead and do the rear together. The driver and passenger side install the same way. Let's do the passenger side. First thing we'll do, let's go ahead and grab out baseline tower. Then, I'm going to grab our CoreBar adapter, and we're going to snap this in place.
We'll just take our two thumbs and push it down until we hear two clicks just like that, so it's going to be in there nice and solid. Then, let's go ahead and take off the cap here. I'm going to squeeze in on both sides and remove that. Then, we're going to pull out on this little door here. Now, let's grab our CoreBar attachment. When we put this on we want to make sure that it's facing the same way so it can easily slide on to our CoreBar, so we're going to put it on in this direction.
We're going to set it right on top, and then we're going to hold it in place, turn over our BaseLine tower, and we're going to tighten up that bolt through there. We'll grab our included Yakima tool. We're not going to tighten this down all the way just yet. Just get it started. With it loosely installed, let's go ahead and slide it on.
Then, we're going to turn the whole bar over. Now, once we've got it slid on, we'll need to refer to our instructions on the measurement between the two. We've got a little arrow on our bar here. That's going to be our center. Then, I'll just tighten it down. Now, we'll need to refer to our instructions on which one of the three tilt settings we need to be at. Then, we can just tighten it down. What we need to do is listen for three clicks with our included Yakima tool. There's two and one more. With that tightened up, let's go ahead and flip it back over, and we're going to close our little door. Then, we're going to open up our second door here. We'll grab our clip, and I'm going to slide it in place underneath, so it kind of hooks into place. Then, we can turn it back over and adjust our angle. Now, our angle gauge is going to be located right here, so once again we'll need to refer to our instructions. As you can see, we need to choose one of the three. Then, we can just tighten it down. Again, we're going to be listening for three clicks. Now, let's install our pad. It's got a little arrow located in the center. We'll need to make sure that it's facing out. We're just going to be clip it in place here. Just give it a good push, make sure it snaps in to both sides and that it can still move. Now, let's put on our end cap. Now, let's set it in place. You want to be sure and open up both doors. Then, I'll just gently set it in place. Now, we'll need to refer to our instructions once more to set the distance between our two bars. Once we've done that, we can locate the screw here. We'll take our included tool, and we're going to tighten this down. Now, as we do that you can see how it's drawing in our clip. Once it makes contact, we're going to come underneath here and tighten this down until the bottom makes contact. Then, we're going to do the same for the other side. Once we've repeated the same process on the other side, we'll make our way back over here and we're going to torque it down to the three clicks. We'll do the three clicks to this one as well. We'll close up the door and we'll repeat the same process for the other side. With everything torqued down, we can go ahead and replace our cover. With that done, we're all set. It looks great. That's going to complete our look and installation of the Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack System with CoreBars on our 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe.

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.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
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.
Arrived as part of a set of components for a roof rack and kayak carrier. I liked that etrailer had a guide to get the right components to fit my car's make and model year. This baseclip set arrived quickly, but the set for the rear of the car that arrived with them were obviously returns that had not been inspected. That set was missing parts, requiring follow-up calls to arrange for a new replacement for the incomplete set, and about a week's delay in getting the rack up on the car.
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.
We purchased the Yakima Skyline Towers roof rack with the Jet Stream crossbars. Took about 2 hours to install on the naked roof of our Flex. I drilled through the roof strip for the mounting bolts and they fit tighter than the factory rails. Very happy with our choice.
Item was as described and shipping was fast. Overall very satisfied with trailer. Will definitely order my stuff from them
I ordered the wrong set up for my car, but the excellent customer service specialist set me up and expedited my roof rack that fit perfectly. I highly recommend calling and speaking with the knowledgeable staff about your needs. I'm super happy with the experience overall!
Was skeptical at first because I needed the posts as well for my 2011 Honda Element. The Honda crossbars were not adequately weight rated and is why I opted for Yakima. Couldn't be happier with my choice as this assembly has served me well throughout the year.
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
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.
Perfect. Perfect. Easy to install and high quality. Confident in this product. Excellent instructions. Used with towers of course! Towers and crossbars have demonstrated to be strong and durable with several trips with kayaks.
Well packaged and on time
I have not bought car roof racks for decades--back when there were those very useful rain gutters. So I was shocked with the high prices. But what you get today is much more carefully engineered with a complicated construction. This Yakima version even comes with a manual 3.5 mm hex driver which turns out to be a torque wrench too. You use it 16 times, torquing to its limit, in installing the two cross rails on the four towers. Years ago you installed the towers where you wanted them on the rain gutters and adjusted the cross rails by sight. No more. You must go on line to Yakima. You must get the precisely engineered dimensions for your exact vehicle. You even adjust the towers for the roof slope and any toe-in of the roof line. Pay attention to the precise instructions. The result is very solid. I wish that I had more space between the cross rails. There is room for another 6 or 8 inches given where the door openings on my 2019 Toyota Highlander are spaced. But then the rear base clips would be different and that logistics would add yet more to the price. I am confident that I can secure a 4 X 8 sheet of plywood on the cross rails. And I will find my vehicle in the mall parking lot easier with those good looking rails. While I am happy with the end product, I wish the vendors had given more explanation of the fixed dimensions of today's installations. That would have helped make my on-line shopping less frustrating. Part of the problem is that Yakima and Thule do not provide cross rails for my LE Highlander's existing tower bases. And I could not get 60 inch cross rails on any of the versions that fit my LE's bases.
The roof rack has been awesome! It has been really handy to be able to attach our bike rack attachment, kayak bars or traveling cargo carrier. My only complaint is that the end caps fell off somewhere along one of our many adventures and looks a bit disheveled. Other than the appearance it has been very versatile and we love it!

I want to thank the staff at eTrailer for their outstanding support. After my roof rack order got off to a shaky start the customer service staff stepped in and made it right; 100% RIGHT. I cannot thank them, and eTrailer, enough. Regarding the roof rack itself, I have now installed it and can vouch that the installation was a breeze. All parts fit and the instructions were correct. For the record, this is not my first purchase from eTrailer (I've bought hitch items from them before) and it won't be my last. They have ALWAYS given great service, their web site works, their products and descriptions are good, etc., etc. Thank you!
Roof rack parts were ordered correctly and shipped quickly.
Great product fast shipping
Great! Easy to install!
I did a lot of research before purchasing my roof rack. I came across this website and liked the prices, and after much thought, decided to get the Yakima CoreBar crossbars. I received my roof rack within a couple days of ordering! It's extremely sturdy and doesn't make hardly any wind noise. I love it and it looks great on my car, couldn't be happier with my purchase!!
The instructions were different for another set of bars. Was a pain to get right...all the measurements on Yakima were off...I figured it out on my own...should have got Thule or nicer bars ..end caps were not good either...flawed fit... otherwise will do just not happy with the product perse or instructions...delivery good...will see how they do.
