Thule Kayak Carrier Recommendation for T-Slot Mount on Yakima JetStream Crossbars on 2022 Highlander

Expert Reply:

It truly depends on what Thule kayak carrier you wish to use on the Yakima JetStream Crossbars. For example, the Thule DockGlide # TH896 is compatible with the top slots of the JetStream crossbars without any additional nuts. I definitely recommend the DockGlide because it is a saddle-mount style that is much easier to load than the awkward positioning of j-style carriers.

In order to have a full JetStream setup of a roof rack on your 2022 Toyota Highlander, it depends on what roof type you have.

If you have a bare roof with no rails, I recommend the following setup:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long # Y00426
- BaseLine Towers # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06153
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06132
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204

If you happen to have flush rails on your Highlander, I recommend the following:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 28 # Y66VR
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204

Both of these roof racks will work great with the DockGlide. They are the exact engineered fits designed by Yakima to fit your 2022 Toyota Highlander.
