Today, we're going to be taking look at the Yakima JetStream Silver Crossbars. These are going to be quite, low profile crossbars that let you mount carriers and accessories to the roof of your vehicle. You can pair these with Yakima towers and fit kits to create a complete roof rack for your vehicle. Towers and fit kits are sold separately. Now, these bars are a really nice, unique design. They're going to feature an asymmetric jet flow shape that's going to create an extremely aerodynamic roof rack system. They're also going to feature the built in wind ridge.

That's this small, raised bar that runs the full length of the bar here at the front of the cross bar. That's going to help control airflow to dramatically reduce wind noise and vibration. These are your arrow style bars. They're going to help reduce drag, which is going to help maintain your vehicles fuel efficiency. They're going to be full length crossbars, which is going to maximize space for you carriers and accessories. You can see that each bar has an end cap on each side.

End caps are included. These are very versatile when it comes to accommodating accessories. You can see right here that it has a strip that runs the full length of the bar on top. That's designed to accept channel mount accessories and this will also accept your clamp around accessories, the accessories that clamp around the crossbar. Now, located on top, again, is going to be that strip that runs the full length of channel mount accessories. That's going to be called the rubber smart fill strip.

That's going to allow for easy instillation of your channel mount accessories. What I want to do is I do want to go ahead and show you how channel mount accessory would mount on the bar or in that channel. What I'm going to do is we're going to remove the end caps. One of the neat features I like about the end caps is you'll see here that the end cap has this tab. On the tab is a raised portion that fits inside the cut out, inside the bar.

That's going to hold the end cap in place, ensuring that we don't lose the end caps during travel. In order to get a channel mount accessory installed on the bar, it's really easy to do. What I did for demonstration purposes is I pulled a channel mount bar off a bike rack that we have here in the shop, just to show you how this work. All you would have to do is push down on the smart fill strip, place your channel mount accessory into the groove, and then you can simply push it to where you would like it to be along your crossbar. That's all there is to it. The smart fill strip means that you don't have to trim that rubber strip. You don't have to cut it. You don't have to put slits in it. All you have to do is push down on it, slide your accessory to where you want inside that channel mount area. Another neat thing that I want to point out is that smart fill strip conforms around the channel mount bar, which is going to help reduce any additional noise that we may have with an accessory mounted on the roof rack system. Located here, on the bottom of the bar, we're going to have the bottom channels. These are going to allow for installation on your Yakima towers. Again, Yakima towers and fit kits are sold separately, but it does come with the attachment clips to get the bars connected to the towers. These are going to fit BaseLine, RidgeLine, SkyLine, and TimberLine towers. Located right here on the bar, we're going to see etched measurements built into the bar. You can see those right here. The etched measurements are great to have. These are going to help center the rack on your roof, and it's also going to help ensure proper tower placement. Now, the full length channel is going to allow you to up-size and use longer bars if desired. That way you can carry more gear on your roof and you don't have to worry about running our of mounting space for your towers. A lot of the other roof racks, when it comes to their crossbars, the channel that they have for the tower or for their foot, only comes a small portion onto the bar. The cut out would come from the end of the bar to maybe this area here, and then it would be solid bar, and then it would pick back up for the tower on the other side. These are going to be your full length channels. That way you can slide the feet anywhere on there. You can up-size your bar and you don't have to worry about running our of space for your tower. Now this strip, on the bottom channel, can be cut and then replaced around the tower that would slide into the grooves with the included clips. That way you can still make sure it's a very quiet roof rack system and that you don't hear much noise from within the vehicle d
