Excellent Buy. Yakima reps were very helpful although the it was shipped in 3 different packages with three separate arrival dates.

Solid product, work as intended.

Along with a set of Jetstream bars, I purchased four Skyline towers for my truck cap to go with two Baseline towers on the cab roof. Functionally, I like these a lot better than most of the older Yakima towers I've used in past years. They're easy to set up and adjust and make removing the crossbars a breeze.
However, I could not install SKS lock cores into any of them. I tried six different cores in all four towers...they simply would not go in. All six of those same cores installed easily into both of the Baseline towers, leading me to conclude that the feature in the Skyline towers that receives the lock cores were undersized. My only option (apart from sending them back and gambling on four more) was to take a rotary tool to the the inner diameter carefully until the cores slid in. Ultimately, that worked...but definitely not what I should need to do to a very expensive set of brand new components. These should never have left the factory. Very disappointed in Yakima's QC.
