Yakima JetStream Crossbars - 50" Long - Black - Qty 2:Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today on our 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI, we're going to be test-fitting the Yakima Roof Rack. It's going to include the jet stream, 50" crossbars, part #Y00425. The baseline towers, part #Y00146 The baseline clips for the front, part #Y06123. The clips for the rear, part #Y06125. To start our installation, we're going to take the end cap off of our bar. We already removed this rubber strip, the filler strip, on the bottom side. We're going to take our tower, we're going to slide in to the bottom of our rail, we're going to slide it in.
On the bottom side of our rail, there's going to be numbers. It's going to correspond to the numbers in your fit guide for what you need to set your vehicle at. Ours is going to be set at 33, so we'll slide it up to the 33 mark. We're going to go ahead and tighten this down. When you hear that click, that's going to let you know that it's torqued down properly.
It also has adjustments for the roll of the roof. You can angle it one way, back and forth, for your pitch and roll. You angle your feet in and out, depending on the application and what it says in your Fit Guide. Ours right now are set in the center. Now we're going to take our foot pack, we're going to place it in with the arrow facing to the outboard side. We're going to take that and snap it into position.
We'll put our end cap back on. The last thing we'll have to put on is going to be our clip. It's going to slide in. You're going to hold this out of the way in the bottom side here, I'm going to turn it back in, capturing our clip. Now that we have it captured.
In our application we're not going to install this and cut it but normally you would take this trim piece. You're going to press it in. Once you get to the other side, you're going to trim it off and place in, to keep out wind noise. You're using the small piece on the ends. For our application we're not going to go ahead and install that. Now we need to open the doors on the car, take our roof rack, the larger side of our bar, pointing to the front of the vehicle. Lay it over the lip. We've measured our front bar from the front of the windshield to the front of our pad and it was 7". We're going to measure the second one from center to center. We're going to need it 32". Once we have it centered up where we want it to be, we're going to snug down this top screw first. That's going to pull our plate into the body. Do that on both sides. Then we can start setting our torque, which is the one that goes up from the bottom side. We want to bring that so we have this land right on this edge. We'll just go back and forth until we get it pulled down. We'll just tighten this up until we hear our torque wrench click. We'll put this lock down. Snap it into place. Then we can install our protective cover. You can get lock kits for these as well. They're just going to fit right in there. That'll keep your roof rack protected. You can see that's going to fit real nice up against the bottom of the body, and we can close our door. That's going to do it for our test fit of the Yakima Roof Rack System. It's going to include the jet stream, 50" cross bars, part #Y00425. The baseline towers, part #Y00146. The baseline clips for the front, part #Y06123. The clips for the rear, part #Y06125. For our 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI.

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.
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!!
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.
Follow the instructions, and you can't go wrong on the self installation
Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
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.
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.
Great fit, holds tight to roof.
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 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.
I waited several weeks for roof rack to arrive after ordering online. I am accustomed to Thule racks, but could not find any towers/bases to fit the 2019 Santa Fe. Once here, the Yakima rack mounted with ease and I look forward to hauling kayaks or basket on the roof.
Thank you etrailer.
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.
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.
Solid build quality and easy installation on my '21 Mazda CX-5.
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.

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
not installed yet but everything was delivered on time and in good condition
Super solid rack and the only one that fits the Jeep Cherokee without rails well and looks good too. Easy to install and worth the price
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.
