Yakima SightLine Towers

Overly complicated and fragile

I had a Yakima rack from 1995 that lasted 20 years, was easy to take on and off, had no removable parts to lose, and was tough. This thing seems way more fragile between the tower and crossbar connection, is difficult to adjust, comes in multiple pieces that rattle after install, and has plastic snap-on end caps and covers on the bars and towers that are 100% guaranteed to break and fall off. Go check out brands in person before buying so you know what your paying for; this thing isn’t cheap, which makes me question its bang for the buck.

Great look & fit

The towers and crossbars fit great and look good on my BMW X5. Everything was delivered timely and worked as it showed.
