OK, if you like to make your own accessories
We assumed that we would be able to buy canoe rack brackets for our Yakima JetStream bars. No--none. Really! We went Lowe's and bought form insulation and ducktape and made our own. See pic. They worked great!

Perfect fit for my ride.
Looks good and very useful. Just a bit noisy. I don't open my moonroof that much because of that.

Yakima 50" (small) Jetstream bar with Timberline
I drive a 2016 Subaru Forester XT with factory side rails so I purchased the Yakima 50'' Jetsream bars (black) and Yakima Timberline towers with a 4pack of SKS keys. I did my research as usual before making the purchase and had read multiple reviews of how much wind noise these Jetstream Bars produce when compared to the square/circle crossbars bars. The bars are hardly audible; the only thing that I can pick up is a very faint whisper. The bars have been working great. It took an hour for the initial set-up from box to car but now that it's done, removing the towers/bars takes five minutes. During my first instal when moving one of the tower straps to the resting cradle position the strap pull broke. Still works, I just don't trust the other rubber pulls on the other three towers now. The SKS keys were easy to install and seem to be sturdy. The towers come with a screw tool that enables the user to loosen/tighten the straps. Be sure to to keep this in the vehicle when traveling with the bars, you never know when you may need it.
The only problem I had with this purchase is not the product but REI across several departments... I called the 1-800 number twice to get these mistakes resolved and customer service was pleasant to deal with. I made the purchase online: bars (black), towers and locks. Two days later the bars showed up but were the wrong color. I contacted REI by phone to exchange them and within a minute of hanging up I received a return label by email and another confirmation email that the black bars were ordered. This time, I received the correct color, however, one bar had a major dent/gash in the face (wind side) and the protective coating was scratched off. To make things worse they looked like they had been a display model because no original packaging was inside... they instead put the bar end caps in a ziplock baggie and were missing 4 more pieces to attach the bars to the towers... I was pretty upset I was paying full price for something that was used as a demo and didn't come with anything original; even the film that the bars have for scratches in shipping was missing. I called REI again and explained to them what was going on. I believe I spoke with the same representative and was taken care of. They gave me overnight shipping and the next day by 11am the bars had arrived, correct color and factory packed.

Can you cut these to a shorter length?
We do not recommend cutting JetStream bars. It is not easy to get a clean cut and it can damage the bar.

My roof rails are 42" apart - these would hang over by about 4" on each side. Is there a standard for how much overreach crossbars like these should have? I want to avoid feeling like the bars are in the way when I get in and out of the car.
Yakima does recommend a minimum bar length for your specific vehicle. We recommend putting the year, make and model through Yakima's online fit guide to determine the right components for your vehicle. http://www.yakima.com/fit/partner/?partnerId=9&location=http://www.rei.com/b/yakima
