Specs:
The heavy-duty TimberLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima to your vehicle with raised, factory side rails. The towers install with rubber-coated stainless steel straps that wrap around your side rails. And the TimberLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars.
Versatile BarBed
The TimberLine's BarBed is designed to work with Yakima's entire line of crossbars.
The BarBed is curved to accommodate the elliptical shape of the CoreBar and JetStream crossbar. The CoreBar includes brackets that slide over the bar and secure to the towers with bolts. The JetStream attaches directly to the tower with bolts.
The towers also work with Yakima RoundBars with adapters . The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.
Secure Installation with Rubber-Coated Stainless Steel Straps
The towers install easily with rubber-coated stainless steel straps. Simply remove the tower covers, wrap the straps around your raised side rails, and secure the straps to the towers. The straps provide maximum contact and security by wrapping completely around your side rails.
Tighten the bolts inside the towers with the included torque tool to complete installation. This is the only tool you will need to secure the towers to your rails and your crossbars to the towers. The torque tool also helps prevent over- or under-tightening. The tool clicks 3 times once you've reached the correct amount of torque.
Same Key System Locks
TimberLine towers are compatible with Yakima SKS lock cores (Y07204 - sold separately) that allow you to secure the roof rack to your roof. The SKS locks are all keyed alike so a single key opens all the locks. The locks can also be swapped out to make all of your Yakima products keyed alike.
These adapters allow you to use Yakima RoundBars with BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, or RidgeLine roof rack towers. Kit includes 4 adapters and 4 endcaps.

Speaker 1: Today in our 2016 Honda Pilot, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack System consisting of part numbers Y00409, these are the round crossbars on the top here, and these are 58 inches long.We'll also be using part number Y03536, and this is the Round Bar Adapter Kit for the Yakima towers.We'll also be using part number Y00146. These are the Baseline Towers designed for naked roofs.Finally, to attach it to the vehicle, we're using the Base Clip Fit Kit part number Y06152.This is going to be the same for the rear bars as well. These are great sturdy cross bars for your roof, and car carry a wide variety of accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers, excuse me, cargo baskets, and cargo boxes.While, they are exceptionally sturdy, they do cause noise while you drive. Now, you can purchase fairings that you can find on etrailer.com to help cut down that wind noise and drag, or you can upgrade to the Yakima core bars that also utilize this tower system.Moving onto the towers themselves, at the end caps here, we do have these plastic portions that can be removed and replaced with the Yakima SKS Lock Core System, so you can secure it to your vehicle and make it key to like with the accessories that you're hauling.Removing our end cap here you can see how everything attaches to the vehicle itself. We have the clamp that attaches to the door frame, as well as the pad underneath. So, your vehicle isn't going to get damaged or scratched once this is installed, because the clamp is also padded once it's being installed.So, let's go ahead and show you how the rear bar gets put into place.
We already have it partially assembled on our lovely table over here, With all the parts that you need right in front of it. So, our first step is, we're going to take our adapter kit for the round bar and attach it to our tower.This is a very easy process. You simply take the plastic portion here, push it in on the top, you're going to hear a little bit of a click. We'll take our round bar adapter, attach it to the screw in the center. We'll pull out this tab here, so we can get to the screw, flip it upside down.
We're just going to loosely tighten it so we can get it in place on our bar.Move over to our bar, slide this into place. To help out with this, we're going to flip it on its side here like so. Now we'll take our measuring tape here and measure out the distance between the two towers. You'll find this in your instructions.Move this out a little bit. Now normally what you would do, is you would find the center of the bar and measure out to both sides.
We already know where we had to be at so, kind of cheated a little bit. There we go. Now we'll tighten it down. I'd like to point out something here in a second. That's the tightening tool that comes with the kit.
It does give those audible clicks so you know when everything is torqued to its specifications without overtightening it.Now, one thing I'd like to point out, looking at the underside of our tower here, you're going to see three notches on each side here. One, two three. One, two, three. Knowing which side is the front is very important because that determines the pitch and the tow that you set. The pitch is on this side and we have it set to B, which is the middle notch. The first notch, A, B, C, and so on.On the other side the tow is set to two. One, two, three. We tighten it down with this screw here, which has already been done. Just be sure to take a look at this in your instructions when you're tightening everything down.Next, we'll take our pad here, pointing out that the arrow's going to be facing away from the vehicle, we'll snap that into place on the bottom, and now we're ready to set this on the room of our vehicle.Set it down gently, as to not damage our vehicle while we're doing this. Now, at this point, we're going to measure from center to center of the bars on both side to keep it even, and then we'll make sure that's it's even side to side too.Alright, we're going to want to make a couple adjustments here. Double check the measurements since I kind of had to move it a little. Alright. Looks like we're even on both sides too. Now we can open up our rear doors and start installing our clamps. This isn't necessarily the steps that they have you do in the instructions, but, I find that it make it a little bit easier on us while we're installing this, so we don't have the clamps accidentally making contact while we're setting them into place.So, our first step is we're going to loosen up the bolt here. You can see how this raises up like so. We're going to take our included clamp. We're actually going to loosen this up a little bit, going to push that in, and then, we're going to tighten that bolt that we just loosened up. You see how it's now going against the vehicle. We'll repeat this process on the other side as well.There's some other items you can put on this roof rack system. It can be anything from your ski and snowboard carriers to your kayak carriers as well. A wide variety of objects. Once we have this loosely installed, we'll get it snug up against the door frame on both sides. We'll go back and forth until it's completely tight, and then you hear those clicks from the tool. See how it's tightening down around there There we go. Close that up.Now we can put on our end caps on both the bars and our towers. I'd like to give you a couple final measurements here to give you an idea of how high it sits off the roof once it's installed. From the center of the roof to the bottom of the bar's going to be about two and five eighths of an inch, and from the center to the top is going to be about three and five eighths inches as well. So, that's more than enough space for your accessories that wrap around your bars, so it's not going to make contact with your roof and scuff it up at all.Also, you can still utilize your sunroof once these are installed as well. These bars do have a carrying capacity of 220 pounds once installed, but you should always check your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can take those weights and go by their recommendations.There you have it, for the Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack System on our 2016 Honda Pilot.

Etrailer prices were by far lower than most. Overall, a very excellent purchase.
I'm happy that this allows me to save money by using my old round bars on my new vehicle, with only the purchase of new "towers" and these adapters.

Its working great!
Kimberly has shown that great customer service is not dead! etrailer and Kimberly are great to work with and have earned my business and will always be the 1st and last place I look for my rack+ needs!
As for the application, I needed more space to fit my cargo box on top of my 4Runner TRD Pro’s rack. I came up this this… Thank you!
Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
They do the job. I can't say that they look like they were custom-made for my new vehicle, but I trust them to stay on and keep my boat on the car. They hold securely.
Really Easy to Install! Solid and Strong amount to Roof Rack.
Works perfectly. I am always impressed that Yakima continues to make parts for the "old roundbars" since they have since moved on to the superior JetStream bars.
necessary for using the widest cross bar option (78"). East to install
Kit worked perfectly on my 2021 Subaru Forester. The whole install took 30 minutes. Never been disappointed with etrailer.
A great company to do business with, and lots of merchandise in stock. I orderd a roof rack for my truck on Tuesday morning and it was on the porch when I returned from work on Thursday. I will deffinitely order more from etrailer.com
Excellent selection of rack parts. Very useful installation videos help when choosing between products. Easy ordering process. Quick delivery.
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
One quick phone call and Gwendolyn figured out exactly what I needed for our new car to use my old Yakima rack.
Yakima Crossbars were as you would expect - steel bars coated in a soft black coating (be mindful when you are utilizing these with the top mounts as the clamp will eat through the soft coating when you tighten them down). I had issues with my yakima round bar setup as the brackets and tower system were allowing water to leak in. This is in no way reflective of what youll experience but Yakima has superb support. I spoke with them twice on my issue and out of their kindness they shipped me an entire setup to replace my existing one for free.
The Yakima roof rack system is an Outstanding product. I purchased the product to replace the OEM roof rack because it was too flimsy to carry the tandem bike mount and my bike. The Yakima roof rack is solid and provides me the peace of mind while hauling my bike on the roof of my car. etrailer provided the product for the best price as always.

Still an outstanding product.
The roof rack is great. Solid.
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.
I ordered a Yakima Roof Rack for my Toyota Prius from eTrailer.com. Part of the reason for purchasing from eTrailer.com was the promise that the racks were made specifically for the car and would not dent the roof.
I received the rack on July 31, and installed the racks on my Prius according to instructions included with the racks. Our tandem kayak is 65 lbs . The towers were placed on the outer most part of the roof as indicated by the instructions. Yakima saddles were attached to the crossbars to hold the kayak. Nothing was close or touching the top of the roof. We transported the kayak to a nearby lake, 6 miles, and back. The next day we removed the racks from the roof and noticed 4 dents on the top of the roof. It was obvious that transporting the kayak on the rack caused the dents.
We had to pay $100 to have the dents removed from the Prius roof.
I cannot continue to use this rack that puts dents in the car's roof. I was extremely disappointed in the racks. In reading the Toyota manual and contacting them by phone, there is no mention of using or not using roof racks.
I was shocked to learn from Rachel at eTrailer.com that your company takes absolutely no responsibility for this Yakima product they sell. The best they can do is to pass the buck and refer us to Yakima.
Very disappointed, and out a lot of money for a product that damages your car. Will not recommend or buy here again. eTrailer.com does not even deserve one star in this review.
Typical Yakima cross bars. Coating is a little too easy to cut or gouge, but probably needs to be that way to get the grip it provides. Good enough solution for me, and allows me to continue to use all the attachments I've accumulated over the years that require a round bar
Haven’t used them yet but they should work as expected
Installation of the hitch, wiring,rear bike rack, and new roof rack towers went well. I didn't set any speed records, but I was more concerned with doing no damage on a new 2019 Toyota Sienna AWD van. The hitch fit up well per instructions except that I was able to work around the exhaust without lowering it. Underbody panel and rear fascia did both need to be removed. Very happy with the end result. The new van is now set up to haul the bikes and canoes and move my log splitter.
first try was missing what was needed
Etrailer helped. It was great!
An Excellent Roof Rack!
Installation was relatively easy, instructions were clear. "Snapping" the bases into the towers required more force than I expected, but that speaks to the adapter's durability. I just wish Yakima would manufacture their stuff anywhere other than mainland China.
The bars were prefect and allowed me to use my old Yakima low rider towers. I just had to cut the bars from 58 inches to 53 inches so I wouldn't have to much over hang. I used a hack saw, tape and a car hose camp. Old trick I learned, you use the hose camp as a guide for straight clean cut.
