Hi everyone. It's Angelina here etrailer.com. And, today we are looking at our Yakima roof rack system with baselines towers and jet stream crossbars, here on our 2021 Honda accord. On your Honda accord, If you want to carry around a safe bike racks or roof basket, but you don't have a hitch you can pick up a roof rack like this from Yakima. And this works for naked roofs. Just like what we have here on our car.

It has a custom fit hook that way when you install it and tighten it down, you can even slam your doors on it without having to worry about it denting or scratching your car. This roof rack system comes with jet stream crossbars which I really like since they're Yakima's aerodynamic crossbar options. They come with T track channels, and this can be used with your T-track accessories at mount straight into there. And that don't need to be clamped around, which I like since that allows you to use the full crossbar space. This has 165 pound weight capacity.

So, when you do have this loaded up also make sure to follow whichever is lower whether it's your crossbar capacity or your brief weight capacity. These are the 50 inch crossbars here on our accord, which I like cause they have minimal overhang with a smaller car like this is nice because then you're less likely to bang your head against longer crossbars, which I've learned the hard way. So, we'll take some measurements. This has an overhang of an inch from the tower to the end of the bar before the end cap but you can also pick up longer bars, If you want that overhang. Let's also take some measurements for clearance purposes.

Your distance between the bottom of the bar to the top of the roof at the closest point is three and five eighth. As for the height of the roof rack from your roof it sits at four and a half inches. These are baseline towers with the option to lock them. So, if you purchase four locking cores, you can pop those in and make sure that they are key to like with your other Yakima accessories. You are limited by how this system is measured.

So, you do get a crossbar spread of 32 inches. So, just keep that in mind when you're thinking about roof baskets or cargo baskets. So, I already installed the front bar and we're gonna install the rear bar together. Now, what you first have to do is set up your crossbar. You have to take out the strip that is inside and then cut it later to fit, Once you have your towers installed. And from here, you have to install your towers. You're going to first installed these steel plate that slides into your crossbars. So, on underneath your tower there will be this tab you have to open. So, open that up. That tab is right over here and that will allow you to tighten it down with the included tool. So, just put that steel piece right on that bolt and then tighten it down to attach it. Just make sure it's loosely attached loose enough that you can still slide it into the crossbar but tight enough, that is attached to your tower. And once that is in place you can then slide your tower onto your crossbar. There you go. Here on your crossbar, You're also going to loosely tighten it down but just enough so that it doesn't come off your crossbar. We'll also check it later to make sure you have it in the right position before you tighten it down fully. Now, your fit kit comes with different foot packs. Now, you have to make sure you're using the right foot back for the right cross bar. Sometimes, it's different for the front and the back. Here on the back, we have a different siz
