Yakima JetStream Crossbars Roof Rack Installation - 2022 BMW X7- Video
Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have our Yakima Roof Rack. We're gonna take a look at how it fits as well as how it installs here on our 2022 BMW X7. If you're looking to carry around some fun accessories, maybe a roof box or a kayak on your X7, well you're gonna need a roof rack system first. Fortunately, you do have these raised rails on your SUV, which makes it a lot easier to find a roof rack as well as install the roof rack. Now for the Yakima Roof Rack, this is gonna be one of your more premium options. We have extra stability, there's an extra way to tighten it down, but I think it's great because it looks a lot more low profile compared to some other brands, but there are some downsides to this specific fit too. more
