Recommended Aero Crossbars for a 2023 Volkswagen ID 4 With Factory Rails

Question:

Hello, I have a 2023 Volkswagen id.4 with black flush mount rails. I would like to put a Yakima jetstream roof rack on it but I cant figure out what towers, clamps and other parts would would be needed to fit it on my vehicle. Can you give me a comprehensive list of Yakima parts and part numbers so that I can be confident that Im ordering the right stuff? Thanks

It looks like to mount the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 to your 2023 Volkswagen ID 4 you're going to need the RidgeLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y00145 with the RidgeClip 35, but the RidgeClip is not available anymore.

Instead, I'd recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711300, with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet # TH28ZE.

These crossbars are identical to the JetStream bars measuring 50" long, has an integrated top channel, and has the same aero design as the JetStream bars.
