Description

The Yakima BaseLine Complete Bare Roof Rack is built to meet the needs of drivers with vehicles that have naked or smooth rooflines. These streamlined roofs require specialized rack systems that securely fit without the need for gutters or raised rails. The BaseLine’s patented design uses adjustable drophook clips, offering bi-axial tuning for both pitch and toe angles. This means the crossbars stay level even on curved roofs, and the tower bases conform precisely to tapered rooflines — ensuring stability and minimizing stress on your vehicle.

This system includes a pair of load bars, four BaseLine Towers, and two pairs of vehicle-specific BaseClips (front and rear), along with a pre-calibrated torque tool to achieve the recommended tightness during installation. The padded contact points protect your vehicle’s finish on the roof and door jambs throughout regular use. While fully lockable with Yakima SKS Lock Cores (sold separately), the BaseLine System provides a reliable foundation for carrying a range of rooftop gear like cargo boxes, bike racks, and kayak mounts.

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with roof rack systems, and the included tools help maintain consistent fit quality. The streamlined BaseLine is ideal for daily and outdoor adventure use, providing a durable, tailor-made fit for vehicles with bareroofs.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our customer support team.

Will the clamps scratch my car's roof?
Yakima's Baseclips have protective pads to protect the vehicle's finish. If the rack is mounted to a dirty surface, that could cause scratching of the paint. Thoroughly cleaning your vehicle's roof prior to installation is the key to preventing such damage.
Can I still take me vehicle through a car wash with the rack installed?
We do not recommend taking your vehicle with the BaseLine Roof Rack through a car wash that uses mechanical rotating brushes. These brushes have been known to occasionally snag on the rack system and causing it to be ripped off, potentially damaging your vehicles roof or car wash property. Instead we would recommend touchless car washes or self serve car wash bays to clean your vehicle.
What vehicles does the BaseLine system fit?
It fits cars, trucks, and SUVs without factory roof rails, fix points or rain gutters. It uses custom-fit, vehicle-specific BaseClips.
Can I lock the roof rack?
Yes, the system can be locked to your vehicle using 4 Yakima SKS Lock Cores, which are sold separately.
