Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima JetStream Roof Rack System on our 2019 Kia Sorento.This is going to come in handy whenever you're on those trips. You have a lot of people in your car, and they have a lot of cargo. You could put all that up here on our roof rack. We have a lot of different accessories here at etrailer.com.
This does have a T-track, so any T-track accessory is going to work with these bars. It's always nice going on a trip where everybody's got enough room to lay out and just enjoy the ride. Whether it's a roof cargo basket, a cargo carrier. We have a couple of bikes up there, maybe even a couple fishing poles. Whatever it may be, these bars are going to be able to store all that for you, leaving all of this space on the inside of your car.These JetStream bars are going to have a aerodynamic look to them as well it's going to help with that wind noise.
A lot of those round and square bars do have a decent amount of drag going down the road. But how these are designed, it's kind of like a airplane so it's going to go through the air a lot better. We do have a little cover that goes over these bars that's going to cut down on those wind noises even more. So check out etrailer.com for that. On top of that, it is going to have 165 pound weight capacity.
It is made of a very lightweight aluminum with a nice powder coated finish, so it's going to resist against rust and corrosion and last quite a long time.We do have two different colors available. We have the black right here. We also have a silver color option on etrailer.com. So, whatever's going to go best with your car, go on etrailer.com and pick whatever fits you best. We are going to have a little bit of added height to our Sorento.
In this case, from our roof to the bottom of the bars is about 3-1/2" and to the top about 4-1/4". It's always nice to know how much you add to the top of your vehicle just for those low clearance situations like a parking garage or whatever it may be. So let's just go ahead and install them right now.The first thing we're going to want to do to get these feet installed is to screw on our T-track. The way we got to do that is we have a little tab here. We're going to pull that out. Take our tool, and this screw on the inside there is going to be what holds this T-track in place. So you want to get it somewhat threaded on but not too much because we still have to fit it into our T-track. Once that's done, make sure that this is facing out and slide her into place. We do need to set the right distance. There is a measuring tape here. So we do have our feet at a set point that we found in our instructions. And once we get it lined up properly, we can take that same exact screw that we used to install our T-track and tighten that down, and with your tool, it will give you a click when it's torqued down properly.The next thing we want to do is fold open this little gray flap here, and as you can see in there, these teeth are going to slide into this. So as we fold that in, it's going to hook on to that up top, and then we can go ahead and tighten that down a little bit. And once we get it little tight, we can go ahead and click this back into place. So we want to take a rubber boot, that arrow needs to be facing out. Just snap that on and then we can close this and replace our cap.So we are going to want to install our front bar first. We are going to have a measurement in our instructions to measure from the top edge of our glass to see where we're going to put this first bar. Be sure to make sure everything is nice and tight and fits properly, and then you go ahead and tighten it down and then continue with the back bar. With our second bar, we are going to look in our instructions to find the distance between our front bar to the back bar so we can set those evenly. We do have them set in place properly, so we can go ahead and replace our caps. It's pretty easy, just got to fit them in like so, snap it into place. We don't have any locking cores on these right now, but they are available here at etrailer.com.Well, thanks for tuning in and taking a look at our Yakima JetStream Roof Rack System on our 2019 Kia Sorento.

Heavy-duty crossbars mount to Yakima towers to create an aftermarket roof rack. Top and bottom channels let you add channel-mount accessories. Tie-down points in endcaps let you easily secure cargo.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.
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.
The design of the connection seems a little sketchy to me. Hopefully I'm wrong and the design engineers have it figured out. etrailer's selection process, delivery ann installation help both online and on the phone was excellent

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.
The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. They provided a nice, flush finish and hold the racks down tight.
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
Required for Yakima HD crossbars using timberland tower system.
