The Yakima BaseClip is the essential starting point for building a robust roof rack system on vehicles that don't have factory-installed side rails or fixed mounting points. Each set includes vehicle-specific clips and protective pads designed to create a solid, stable attachment to your car's naked roof.

These clips work in conjunction with Yakima's BaseLine Towers, providing the custom connection needed for a reliable and secure fit. With the BaseClips in place, you can then add your choice of Yakima crossbars like RoundBars, CoreBars, or JetStream Bars, setting the foundation for carrying kayaks, canoes, and all your outdoor equipment.

Crafted from powder-coated stainless steel, BaseClips are built to last and resist corrosion, ensuring your rack system stands up to the elements. The custom-molded rubber pads not only secure the fit but also protect your vehicle's paint finish from scratches. You'll typically need two sets of BaseClips to outfit a full two-bar roof rack system.
