Hi, Matt with etrailer, and today we're gonna talk about the Yakima SkyLine FX roof rack bars. So this gonna be a great option for you if you're looking for a system that's gonna be really easy to take on and off, and you have flush rails. So let's take a closer look at it. Now, this is gonna be able to fit multiple-sized roofs because these do have the ability to expand. You just have to plug in your vehicle into our fit guide and find out what's gonna be the best fit for you. The main appeal of this is how easy it is to take on and off your roof.
Now, you'll just have to make sure you take off all these caps. I've already removed the ones from the passenger side. As you can see right here, with everything removed like that, you just lift up on it, and it pops right off. Putting it back on is just as easy, just sliding on that end cap to finish it off until it clicks into place. Now, we take a closer look at the Yakima system.
Now, the bar itself is gonna use our Yakima JetStream bars that are gonna attach to these towers. And since this design is made this way, this is gonna be a flush-rail system. So what that means is we're not gonna have any overhang, so that's gonna give you more of a clean finish to your system, but it's also gonna take away some real estate of where you can put accessories on top of your bars, too. Now, since this it is a flush-rail system, we're only gonna be able to put our accessories in from one area. That's gonna be this center part on our crossbars.
And you're just gonna plug in whatever T-track accessories you have and slide it in through this channel. Now, what I like about this is it's gonna have this built-in rubber weather strip, and what that's gonna help do is reduce wind noise and keep any debris out of here. And what's really great about this weather strip and is that you don't have to cut this down to size since it is built in. Taking a closer look at the SkyLine towers now, if I just remove this end cap, which gives it that really nice clean finish to it, we can take a closer look at the hardware inside of it. Now, you'll notice we have this access door, and that's gonna lock everything down into place so no one can take this off real quick.
Now, I will say the lock core that we have on here is just a plastic lock core that you can unlock with a screwdriver or with some quarters. So it's not really that secure. Anybody could come by and take it off real quick. What I'd recommend doing is going to our website and checking out some of the Yakima lock cores that we have. And those will be metal lock cores that you can get keyed to lock to any of your other Yakima accessories, too. To take a closer look at the hardware underneath here, I'm just gonna unlock this access door, open it up. Now you'll notice we have two bolts in here. We're gonna have one on top, and that's gonna adjust your pitch. The way you'll adjust that is with an included Allen key. You just tighten and loosen that up. And what that's gonna do is change the angle of the crossbar itself to accommodate different types of roofs. If you are someone who's very particular on how this fits on your roof, then that's gonna give you more control. And the other setting we're gonna have in here is gonna be this bolt that adjusts your length of your crossbars to fit on top of your roof. So just to give you an example of that, what that's gonna look like. You just have to lift this up some, close that back in. You can even access it even with the access door closed. Loosen up that bolt some until it's loose enough to adjust. And once it is, then you can see how it telescopes, just like that. Now, I know we've been talking a lot about how this is gonna lock into place, and that's gonna lock into place to your fit kit. And you can find what's gonna be the best one for you using the fit guide on our website. Something that I really like about this design as opposed to some of the other Yakima crossbars is just gonna be how sleek it fits up here. You don't have to worry about anything that's bulky, hanging off the sides of it, and just how those towers fit onto those crossbars, it's just gonna give you an overall better look. Now, you're gonna have a weight capacity of up to 165 pounds, and what I recommend doing is just checking what your roof is rated for so you don't overload it. But if you liked everything you saw today, that's just a look at the Yakima SkyLine FX roof rack bars. Thanks for watching.

This aerodynamic, flush-mount roof rack lets you carry gear and cargo on your vehicle while maintaining a clean, factory look. Crossbars work with channel-mount and clamp-on accessories. Installs on your vehicle's fixed mounting points or tracks.Fit good with the OE track on roof. I like the new covers they supplied with the mounts.
Very nice and heavy duty. They don’t look too fragile on a lifted truck with oversized tires.
Honestly, I love etrailer. I love the expert help that you all provide. It's clear by the 1 year follow-ups that you care more about the relationships with your customers then just making a sale. Your service is friendly, informative and fast. I always come here first to look for my next purchase. Thanks again-Rob.
Perfect match
Great first experience dealing with you guys! Shipped fast, and was a faster install. You gave me the right parts and it went together in a flash.
Will definitely be doing business with you all again.
Shipment received, as ordered! Thanks again to Bryce D., for assistance.
It was what it was advertised and fit perfectly on my 2023 Ford Maverick
Great company! Fast delivery.
I have ordered several times from Etrailer and have always received efficient, timely and reasonable shipped items. Did not use customer service with this order but it has always been good.
Honestly went back to etrailer after buying something i couldnt find on the big A before because their support was so good and delivery speed was soo fast.
First trip with the new rail system and it looks like it worked out just fine. Thanks to both of you and Kimberly for all of your help and follow up I do appreciate it.
with so many variables having someone that could sort through all them was very helpful Thanks etrailer
I’ve placed 2 separate orders with etrailer in the last 6 weeks. Their service, response, pricing and follow-through have been terrific each time. I will use them every chance I get.
These will mount to the rhino rack tracks so I could use my Yakima control towers and rack.
Works as described
Quality product, timely shipping, transported with care. Packaging received fully intact with no damage.
Thank you etrailer for yet another great ordering experience!
Om my 1996 Ford Explorer, after the plastic factory cross bars failed, I was able to use the etrailer web site and tech support to determine that landing pads were available that fit the factory track and would allow me to use my Yakima towers and round bars. This was a great fix!
This company is great! I was looking everywhere for a set of crossbars that would fit my pop up camper. After not being satisfied with the options I called the customer service line and spoke with Crystal. She was great at recommending which parts would work on my camper. I had a lot of questions and she answered them all. If she didn't know the answer she found out for me. I installed my new crossbars on my camper this afternoon and they fit perfectly! They're solid as a rock! I'm so excited to use them!
Was very pleased with the Yakima racks and installation was a snap! First time customer of etrailer and was elated with whole experience! Shipping was lighting fast too!!! Will do business again...
I ordered a Yakima roof rack system here and it was easy to find what I needed for parts to install on my truck cap. Very solid product and this company ships quickly every time I've ordered from them
Delivery was fast and efficient. Everything arrived in good shape with excellent feedback from the website. Have always had a great experience with etrailer.com
Easy to order, best price. Not your fault due to supply chain was on back order. You followed through well. Appreciate not forgetting me or just telling me you cant get it. Nice work!
Product worked well with my already installed Yakima rails and the towers attached to bars that I use on another vehicle. Easily installed. Now I can switch the kayak carrying Yakima bar and tower rigs from one vehicle to the other with minimal effort.
I've been using the roof rack a lot in the last year for recreation and for work. They give me confidence that the load will stay put, and arrive safely. I also take them off frequently since they hum happily at highway speeds, so I'm happy that the bars are easy to lock on or take off.
