Speaker 1: Today on our 2015 Mazda CX-5, we'll be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Yakima Roof-Rack System. This is going to consist of the Yakima Jet Stream Crossbars, part number: Y00425, and the Yakima TimberLine Towers, part number: Y00147. Our crossbars are also available in silver with part number: Y00428.The Yakima Roof-Rack System is a great solution for carrying your vehicle accessories on your roof. Whether those are bike racks, ski and snowboard carriers or cargo baskets, it's going to free up space inside your vehicle and allow you to carry more gear.The aerodynamic shape of our bars, as well as the weatherstrip on the top and on the bottom once you replace it, are going to help to reduce wind, noise and drag. The top weatherstrip can actually be pushed down and we can add in channel-mounted accessories. This is great, unlike some other roof-rack systems that have you remove that weatherstrip and cut it down to place in those channel-mounted accessories.The TimberLine Towers on our Yakima Roof-Rack System has this plastic lock core that can be removed and replaced with a metal lock core from the Yakima Same-Key System Lock Core, that's going to help to prevent theft and tampering of your roof-rack system all together.Our TimberLine Towers are also going to have a rubber coating to prevent any scratches or abrasions, and it's going to have a strap that fits around underneath our raised rail and secures into itself.
It's going to give us a nice, secure fit and prevent any movement of our crossbars.The Yakima Roof-Rack System has a 165-pound weight capacity, though you do want to double check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your roof can withstand that much weight. It's also going to come with a limited-lifetime warranty and be quick and easy to install. We'll show you how to do that now.Now everything that you see on our table is what we will need for our installation. We already have our front bar installed, we'll show you how to do the back bar. We're going to provide our own flat tape measure, but everything else is included.
We'll have our included torque tool to tighten everything down. Our end cap for our crossbars. Our end caps for our towers, as well as the adapters to secure our towers to our crossbar system. The towers themselves. Then this weatherstrip that inserts in between our two towers, to take up any of the extra space and reduce wind, noise and drag.We'll start by taking our tower and we want to secure our adapter kit to it.
We'll take the black plastic piece first and click that into place. We can flip our tower over. We're going to push our strap so that it's all the way inside, and we'll losing up our bolt until we can see the bolt on the inside of our tower. We'll take the included silver adapter piece, place that on top and we can tighten our bolt down. We want to tighten our bolt down, and also that our adapters are flush with each other.
Then we can slide this onto our crossbar.Line these up and slide them into the channel at the bottom. Then we can take our end cap for our crossbar and place it on. Now at this point we would take that rubber insert on the inside, we can cut it down and insert it in between our end cap and our tower, as well as in between our two towers. You do want to make sure that you adjust it onto your roof first so that you have the right measurements and you can cut them out and fill in the space in between.We'll take our crossbar and place it across our vehicle, making sure that our tower sits around our raised rail. Can take our strap and secure it, so that it holds our tower in place, then we'll adjust the other side.Now we'll measure out our crossbar spread. We want this to be even on each side. We want it to be at least 27 inches, though I would suggest going by whatever accessory you're going to place on your roof and accommodating your crossbar spread to the accessory.For our crossbar overhang, we're going to measure from the end of the tower to the end of our crossbar. There's no specific measurement for this, we just want it to be even on each side.Now to start, we're going to tighten up our bolt at the very top. This is going to tighten up that adapter that we have on the inside channel and prevent our tower from moving back and forth along our crossbar.Once we have that tight, we can move on to our bolt here at the bottom. We'll start by tightening up our strap so that it connects to our raised rail, then we can do the same thing to the other side. Then we want to go back and forth tightening this down evenly. Now we'll know we have enough torque behind our bolt when we hear our two clicks from our torque tool, and we can now place on our end caps.To place on our end cap, we'll simply line it up and push it into place until it clicks. Now we're ready to load up our accessories and hit the road.That's going to be our completed look at the Yakima Roof-Rack System on our 2015 Mazda CX-5.

Knowledgeable sales rep.Help me through the process on purchasing my roof rack Recommended to anyone quality parts
For a 2015 Mazda 3, 4 door sedan.
I used the 50" jetstream bars with the skyline towers and the #22 Landing Pads.
Went together easy, great quality, very solid feeling! And, easy to remove and install when needed.
Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
Parts arrived as advertised for the model
Car so happy to find the right fit
But super pricy for some plastic.
Still look and work great after a year. Fantastic investment and they didn't reduce my fuel economy. They don't produce a lot of wind noise either.
At first, a little tricky to install, as the kit comes with hardware for a variety of applications (different length/size bolts, etc). But after a quick look at the directions and identifying which bolt to use for my car, install was a breeze. I love this Yakima setup because I can remove the bars/towers and leave the landing pads with a cap. Makes it great for taking the canoe out on weekend trips, but not taking the fuel-economy hit during the weekday commute to work.
You guys provide great products and excellent customer service.
Thanks
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.
Great bars and easy installation on my 2012 Prius C
I chose Yakima because I had one in the past and they were always reliable. Thule was my next choice but didn’t like the look of 53’ crossbars on my car. I really appreciated the easy to follow instruction that made installation a breeze. The kit came complete with everything I needed to install right out of the box. I purchased the 2 Hightower bike racks to go with the roof rack system and plan to safely secure both bikes for our trips. It was a bit heavier than I anticipated (combined with the bike carriers) which will hurt my MPG but having easy access to disassemble the bike carriers when not in use made it a no brained. Additionally, I love the look of the system on my car.
The yakima jetstream crossbar looks beautiful. Quality is great. Took my vehicle for a test drive, and i didnt hear anything loose or broken from the bars. Very satisfied with the product and the instructions were great. It was my first time installing a roof rack too.
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.
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. I love that there's a rubber piece in the top rail that doesn't need to be cut, which makes it a very flush and smooth fit. I also love the modularity and the weight that it can handle, especially for the stuff i plan on carrying.
Lightweight and actually quite quiet with no attachments on them. With my bike racks there is a fair amount of noise but it doesn't come from just these. Mine is on a 2011 BMW 335.
not installed yet but everything was delivered on time and in good condition
Great company. Fast delivery.
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.
Great product. Great service.
very informative and great work
the product was exceptional. I would recommend it to anyone, who has a vehicle with a naked roof. It is a solid as a factory installed rack. Josh went out of his way to get me a replacement torque screw driver because the first one from Yakima was working properly.
Well you asked for it so;
I ordered this as part of my roof rack for a 2021 Nissan rogue. The complete roof rack set was unavailable le as one bracket was on back order and said would ship in under a month so I ordered everything else in the meantime. Little did I know it would take a over a year to get one stupid bracket and yes, I'm still waiting. I can't even return the items I bought because it's way past the 90 day policy even though they're brand new still in the box collecting dust. etrailer, this has been the worst experience I've had yet with you guys. Oh still waiting for my one bracket to complete my roof rack
Order was easy to place and delivered in less than a week as promised. The sales advice was perfect fit despite multiple pieces having been ordered. Used the rack once and very sturdy
robert s was terrific !!! excellent customer service !!! from assisting with a return, to recommending an alternative, to informing me about delivery status ...
the yakima jetstream crossbars with baseline towers were a bit more complicated to assemble and install than the brand i returned, but the wind noise and whistling are dramatically less ...
the next step is to select a cargo carrier ... it goes without saying that i will consult robert again ... thanks so much robert, and safe and happy travels to all
