Yakima Baseline or Skyline Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Mazda CX-5 for Fixed Point Roof
Question:
Thanks for the response. Hi would i be able to use Thule products on Yakima bars? Like cargo basket and roof rack bike mount? Also, with the base roof system you mentioned, i’d be able to use the jetstream rather than corebars right? Thanks again,

Expert Reply:
The difference between the Yakima Baseline towers and Skyline towers is the style of roof they are intended which in your case indicates how it would install. The Baseline kits are designed for naked roof and will use the door clamps.
The Skyline kits are designed for use on vehicles with factory fixed mounting points. Since this is the route you mentioned preferring on your 2016 Mazda CX-5 it would be your best option.
That means you'll want the Yakima Skyline Aero Bar kit part numbers # Y00421, # Y53TR, and # Y00233.
