SkyLine Towers

The heavy-duty SkyLine towers allow you to mount 2 Yakima crossbars (sold separately) to your vehicle with fixed mounting points, flush side rails, or tracks. The towers adjust during installation to ensure your crossbars are level. The SkyLines' versatile BarBeds accommodate Yakima's full line of crossbars. The towers install with Yakima's Landing Pad system (sold separately).


Versatile BarBed

SkyLine BarBed

The SkyLine's BarBed is specifically designed to work with Yakima's entire line of crossbars.


CoreBar CrossbarJetStream Crossbar

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.


RoundBar CrossbarRoundBar Adapter

The towers also work with Yakima RoundBars with adapters (Y03536 - sold separately). The adapters slide over the bars and secure to the towers with bolts.


Torque Tool

The crossbars mount to the SkyLine towers with the included torque tool. The tool clicks 3 times once you've reached the correct amount of torque so you don't have to worry about over- or under-tightening.


Simple Installation with Landing Pads

SkyLine with LandingPad

The towers install with custom-fit Landing Pads (sold separately). To mount a tower simply open the cover, set the tower on the Landing Pad, and close the cover.


SkyLine Cover

Mounting posts on the bottom of the tower extend when the cover is closed to lock the tower in place on the Landing Pad.


SkyLine Pitch Diagram

Each tower's pitch can be adjusted up to 6 degrees forward or backward during installation. This lets you create a level mounting surface for your gear even on a curved roof. Simply loosen the bolt near the top of the tower assembly, adjust the position of your bar, and then re-tighten the bolt.


Same Key System Locks

4 Pack SKS Lock Cores

SkyLine 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.

Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze. For the money I wish they came with the core locks.

These crossbars were easy to install and adjust. Be sure to get all the pieces you need. There is no mention of the Landing Pads necessary to use these.



by:

Very nice quality towers. Very heavy duty! They have a cool "snap" on / off mechanism for quick removal and installation.



by:
2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Yakima SkyLine Towers are well-designed and well-executed. They easily fit into the Yakima Landing Pads and form a tight fit when closed. And they also fit nicely into the Yakima JetStream Crossbars when following the Yakima instruction manual and various YouTube videos. I did run into a snag at first where I found the rubber seal on one SkyLine Tower getting caught on the JetStream Crossbar track, but after that I was careful not to let that happen with the other towers.
I find the appearance of the Yakima SkyLine Towers to match their level of quality in materials and design.

  • Parts Needed to Add Yakima Crossbars to Retrax Tonneau Cover with T-Slot Rails
    For your setup I recommend the TrackTowers for Yakima Crossbars and Platforms - Track Mount # Y52AV which includes everything you need to mount Yakima crossbars to your Retrax cover (unless you plan on using the Round or HD bars - then you'll need an additional adapter). To mount the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR to your tonneau cover you would need the 2 of the Landing Pad 1 # Y00221 kits as well which is why I recommend the first kit I mentioned. Most truck ladder racks use longer crossbars...

  • Converting RetraxONE MX Tonneau Cover on a 2021 Ford F-150 5-1/2' Bed To Add Crossbars Above Bed
    I have a couple options for your Carolyn. The first is to replace your current side rails with the XR Rails # RTT-82381 on the Cover # RTX37VR so you will have the T-Slots. Other wise using a reack like the Adarac # A54KG would be an option as this places the rails about half way up your window and attaches to the stake bed pockets. If you go the route of the T-Slots you will want the Yakima Crossbars # Y00427, Towers # Y53TR and 2 sets of the Landing Pads # Y00221. For your keys you...

  • Is The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack For Yakima Tracks Compatible With Yakima HD Tracks
    Hi Ken, The slots are slightly different between the standard Yakima Tracks (42" # Y01126, 54" # Y01127, 60" # Y01135) and HD Tracks (54" # Y64MR, 60" # Y74MR, 72" # Y84MR) so the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks # Y01-140B-NT would not be compatible with the HD Tracks. If you haven't gotten the Tracks yet then you'll want to go with the standards options. If you already have Yakima HD tracks then you'll need the following components: Landing Pad 26 # Y75ZR (x2) SkyLine...

  • Parts Needed to Add Yakima Rack to Diamondback SE Tonneau Cover on Ford Super Duty
    We can get your Ford Super Duty set up with a Yakima rack for your Diamondback SE tonneau cover. The Q Towers are no longer made and aren't compatible with Yakima's latest racks, so you'll need a new set of towers for the system. Here is exactly what you'll need: - Yakima 72" HD Tracks for Diamondback Truck Covers # Y92AR - Yakima HD Crossbars - 78" Long # Y01159 - SkyLine Towers # Y53TR - HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541 - Landing Pad 26 for Yakima SkyLine Towers # Y75ZR You'll need a...

  • 2019 Ram 1500 Fitment for Yakima HD Tracks and Tonneau Cover
    As long as you can fit the 2" wide Yakima 60" HD Tracks # Y74MR so you have no less than 1/8" overhanging the outside of your truck bed side (see attached) you're good to go. This then allows you to use 2 sets of the Landing Pad 26 # Y75ZR and SkyLine Towers # Y53TR for a base system. The 66" Round Crossbars # Y00410 might work but I'm not sure if you'll have the clearance for that since I'm not sure where the Yakima tracks will sit. If they truly can sit in the middle of your rails...

    I'll be happy to help you find the best roof rack solution for the flush rails on your 2019 Lexus GX 460.

  • Parts Needed to Install Crossbars on the Yakima 72" HD Tracks for Roof Racks
    To install crossbars on the Yakima 72" HD Tracks for Roof Racks # Y84MR you need 2 of the Landing Pad 26 # Y75ZR, the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, and then your choice of Yakima crossbars. I recommend using the JetStream crossbars like the 50" # Y00425 because they look great, they are durable, and they are made of aluminum so they will last a long time. I like this system because you can adjust the crossbars along the rails to accommodate different accessories you might need on your truck.

  • Roof Rack For 2016 Honda Pilot For Two Thule Hullavators
    I am going to assume your 2016 Honda Pilot has flush side rails and that you can remove your factory roof rack, and if so there is a way to use a pair of the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898, but the ShowDown is far too wide to put on next to the Hullavator. If you're okay using a pair of Hullavators, the roof rack you need for your '16 Pilot is the following, from Yakima: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 - SkyLine Towers # Y53TR - Landing Pad 19 # Y00245 You can lock the roof rack...

  • What is the Difference Between Yakima HD Tracks and Regular Yakima Tracks?
    The difference between the Yakima HD Crossbars like the # Y74MR and the regular Yakima Tracks like the # Y01135 is that they are compatible with different feet and adapters. With the HD tracks, they will fit the Yakima Skyline towers, OverHaul HD system, or OutPost HD systems. In order to use these components, you need to use the Landing Pad 26 for Yakima SkyLine Towers - Qty 2 # Y75ZR or the Yakima HD Track Adapter Kit for Yakima OverHaul HD and OutPost HD Truck Racks - Qty 4 # Y75RR....

  • Recommended Crossbars for Yakima Top Tracks On an A.R.E Camper Shell CX Series
    The Thule TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT is not actually meant to be installed into top tracks. This crossbar system is actually meant to be installed in fixed points on your camper shell so it's not going to work with your Yakima tracks. Yakima does offer a complete system - # Y47CV which includes everything, but since you already have the tracks you'd just need the crossbars # Y00427, the landing pad # Y00221, and the towers # Y53TR.

    From the looks of your included picture, it looks like you have flush factory rails and Yakima Round crossbars for your 2022 Honda CR-V. In order to use your Yakima RoundBars, you need to first remove the factory crossbars you currently have installed on your CR-V. Then, once those are removed, you can access the fixed mounting points on your vehicle. Additionally, you will need these parts to install the bars if you do not have them already: - SkyLine Towers # Y53TR - Landing Pad 19...

  • Correct Size Inno Aero Crossbar for a 2015 Lexus GX 460
    The correct length Inno Aero Crossbar for a 2015 Lexus GX 460 is 48" for the front and 51" for the rear. The complete kit is composed of part # INXB123-130, part # INXS350, and part # INTR152. Unfortunately, the crossbars have channels underneath so you can only go so big and we can't recommend going with a larger size unfortunately.
