DropHook System Installation
Custom-fit BaseClips let you mount BaseLine towers (sold separately) to your vehicle with a naked roof. To install, remove the tower's cover, open the gray door inside the assembly, and attach the clip to the DropHook inside.
The clip adjusts on 3 axes during installation to ensure a perfect, secure fit on your door jamb. Once the tower and clip are seated correctly, simply tighten the clip down, close the door, and replace the cover.
The included molded rubber pads protect your roof from scratches and abrasions. The pads easily clip onto the bottoms of the towers and are specifically designed to fit the shape and contour of your roof.

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!!
They do the job but have loosened up and needed readjusting a couple times over the almost 20,000 miles we’ve put on them since installing. Overall, good, just check periodically for loosening.
Look great & perform outstanding. Would recommend this product to anyone where applicable.
So far this has been a great product except for the cover on one of the legs flew off and got all scuffed up on the road -- luckily my husband saw it and stopped but other than that it seems to work as it should, unfortunately, we have only been able to use it a few times. But so far so good. We will be looking for accessories to add to it.
Haven't installed the rack yet but this base clip is robust and etrailer has been great in getting me what I needed.
excellent design with easy to follow in structions
Good quality rack system.
Everything fit as expected. Nice to have a second person to help on the install. Well made piece of equipment.
Exceptional service highly recommended
Liked there fit. Appear beer that the old qtip style.
From start to finish, the folks at etrailer -- and I spoke to several people there, so it was a consistent corporate vibe -- were fantastic to deal with.
There were delays in getting my product that were on the supplier side and out of eTrailer's control, yet etrailer folks kept me up to date and also worked on a customized solution.
My goal was to be able to carry my surfboard on the roof of our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe to the beach more than 3 hours away. But the particular model we had had no existing racks, no recessed areas, nothing to fix racks to. Not even the dealer had a solution. I was sh*t out of luck.
But etrailer hooked me up. The racks did take me a while to put on, but most of that time was fine tuning to reduce “hum” while driving. I’m very happy with them.
Thanks to etrailer, I have gone surfing and can go surfing whenever I'd like to.
I purchased clips that were stated as being compatible with our 2010 Chevrolet Impala. The front clips fit well, however the rear clips do not.
I have a 10th gen Civic sedan and I was dying to get the perfect roof rack set for my car. At the time of my purchase there was not many visuals of what the rack system looked like on this car.
I purchased the:
•Yakima 50in Jetstream crossbars
•Yakima baseline towers
•bc182 & bc183 clips
•Yakima 46in fairing
Overall I love how it looks on my car! During This COVID pandemic I have been camping more, and this is the perfect foundation! First off, the 46in fairing is the perfect fit for the 10th gen civic! Wind noise is low also with the help of the aerodynamic crossbars. My main concern was the fuel efficiency. On long road trips I still average 38-40 mpg with the rack on. My daily commutes I average 34 mpg without Econ on.

Works perfectly on my 2023 Chevy Silverado. The rubber pads are soft enough to prevent scratches, yet firm enough to support the force of being cranked down on the roof. They fit perfectly in the ridge near the edges of the rough.
Overall these are a great product and much needed. I had a Tiguan with the side rails but needed cross rails for my gear. When I got my Jetta I wanted to keep my Yakima cross rails so I needed the Towers. They work great and fit my car well. I took them off recently after having them on for a year for re-fitment.
I ordered the Yakima "aero" bars , baseline towers, and BaseClip kits for my 2019 Honda Civic 5 door. While expensive the quality is excellent and it was a pleasure to assemble such a high quality and precision engineered product. It fits perfectly on my new car and the "aero" bars are quiet even at freeway speeds. Highly recommended.
Hyundai Sonata - glass pano roof. These items have been on for about 1-year. So happy with the set up. I’ve take a road bike and a mountain bike on 500+ mile trips. The mounts do an excellent job.
Arrived as part of a set of components for a roof rack and kayak carrier. I liked that etrailer had a guide to get the right components to fit my car's make and model year. This baseclip set arrived quickly, but the set for the rear of the car that arrived with them were obviously returns that had not been inspected. That set was missing parts, requiring follow-up calls to arrange for a new replacement for the incomplete set, and about a week's delay in getting the rack up on the car.
Works just like the old towers except they pivot to give a snugger fit on the truck, which makes this tower fit easier and less likely to come loose or break like the other towers. Also it is nice to have a rack on the front of the cab for long items, like full size canoe, that would be too long and need the extra length to fit. Without the extra tower the canoe has to shift back and hang off the back too much and securing the front of the canoe is more challanging.
