Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Toyota Camry we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Core Bar Roof Rack System. The Yakima Core Bar Roof Rack System is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your Camry, such as bike racks, cargo baskets, and cargo boxes. It combines two things. It combines the strength of the round or square bars with the aerodynamics of your aero bars. While it is aerodynamic, it is going to cut down wind noise or drag. However, you cannot use T-track accessories with these bars.
They're very easy to install. They simply clamp around your existing doorframe and tighten down in place with an existing tool that does let you know if you've under-tightened it, or over-tightened it by having audible clicks once it's completely tightened down.With the end caps, they also have these in plastic knock outs which you can replace with the Yakima Same Key System to make it secure to your roof, but also to make a key to like with whatever it is you're hauling. To give you a couple of quick measurements, from the center of the roof to the bottom of the bar is going to be about three inches. From the center of the top is going to be about four and a quarter inches. That's more than enough space for accessories that wrap around your bars to be installed without affecting your roof.
These bars do have a combined carrying capacity of 220 pounds, but you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand those weights.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack system, let's go ahead and show you how it installs. We have a front bar already installed on our vehicle and we'll show you how we got those measurements and where we got it to later. With our rear bar we have it partially assembled on our table here. Our next step is we're going to take our other baseline tower and start attaching it to the other side. First step is we'll take our plastic piece here and that just pushes in.
You'll hear a little bit of a snap. Then we'll take our metal bracket, put that on top. We'll pull this gray portion out. Then we'll flip it underneath. You'll see the screw there and we'll just, using our included tool, just loosely install that for now.
Then we'll slide that bracket onto our bar and then we'll flip it upside down and get everything set up there.Next, we want to make sure that there's the proper spacing in between the towers. You'll find this measurement in your instructions. We'll take our handy dandy measuring tape here, go to the scrap length. All right. Then we can go to that center bolt here and tighten it down. With our part in the center here you'll see three notches and this is going to be our pitch. You want to make sure that it's in the proper setting according to the instructions, which says it needs to be in the center one, or number two, or B. We'll tighten it down until you hear three audible clicks from our tightening tool here. There we go. Then we want to get our toe setting set up as well and that's going to be set to two or the center notch here. Loosen that up. As we move this, you'll see that our base here moves too. This is to better fit the contours of our Camry's roof.Then we'll take our pad from our clip kit and just push that into place. Then we'll install our end caps like so. Then we can set this on the roof of our vehicle and we'll be opening the two rear doors to install this for good. We'll set our rear bar down and next we'll measure from center to center of the bar to get that straightened out. But first, I do want to show you how this got to this position on the front. Once we had everything set, we simply measured from the edge of the glass here back to this point on both sides to keep it even. This measurement will be in your instructions as well. Also, if you have it you want to push in this gray tab at the top and that's going to cover up the bolt that tightens it down to the bar. We'll next open the gray door up at the front here and we'll install our rear clips.Let me just push in at the bottom here. You may have to loosen them up a little bit so they fit properly so it catches in place here. There we go. We'll do this on the other side as well. Next, I'll tighten this bolt down here and that's going to lower our clamp into position so it's around our doorframe. Then we can start tightening up the center bolt here, which is going to bring the clamp up against the doorframe. We'll do this on both sides until it's completely tightened down. Close the door. Our final step is we'll put the caps onto our towers. Then we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road. There you have it for the Yakima Core Bar Roof Rack System on our 2016 Toyota Camry.

Knowledgeable sales rep.Help me through the process on purchasing my roof rack Recommended to anyone quality parts
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.
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.
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
Really easy to install & work as specified. So happy with the customer support/service at etrailer.
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.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
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!!
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.
Great bars and easy installation on my 2012 Prius C
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.
Well packaged and on time
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.
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.
not installed yet but everything was delivered on time and in good condition
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.
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.
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
