Black, lightweight aluminum crossbars are paired with locking Rhino-Rack 2500 Series legs to create a roof rack for your naked roof. Elliptical bars are aerodynamic and feature built-in channels to accept slot-mounted and clamp-on accessories.
Features:
Specs:
Designed specifically for vehicles without rain gutters, the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series is a great option for adding an aftermarket roof rack to your naked-roof vehicle.
The 2500 Series system includes a pair of black, 46" long crossbars. The oval crossbars are aerodynamic to reduce drag and wind noise compared with standard square crossbars. And the extruded aluminum construction keeps the crossbars rust free and looking new.
A built-in channel on top of each crossbar provides a mounting point for your slot-mounted Rhino-Rack Sportz and Aero carriers and accessories. These channels also include rubber strips that help to cushion loads on the rack and provide slip resistance to keep your cargo from shifting during transport. The rubber strips can be cut to length to accommodate your bike, ski, kayak or other carrier. Locking endcaps (sold separately) are available to secure your channel-mounted accessories to your crossbars.
A channel on the bottom of each crossbar lets you mount the crossbars directly to your roof-rack legs. This channel includes handy rubber rulers that can also be cut to length, ensuring that the crossbars are properly centered on your roof.
Custom clamps (included with the vehicle-specific clamp kit) secure the rack system to the vehicle and mount to the roof-rack legs with theft-deterrent bolts. A special tool (included) is needed to tighten the bolts. Tightening the bolts secures the vehicle-specific clamps to the legs and the legs to your vehicle roof.
The custom molded pads (included with the vehicle-specific clamp kit) are designed to match your vehicle's roofline. Simply press them onto the bottoms of the legs to create a perfect-fitting rack while also protecting your vehicle's surface from scratches and abrasions.
The 2500 Series leg bases have rounded tops that pivot to ensure that the crossbars are level on your roof.
The roof-rack legs include plastic covers with built-in locks. The locks secure your roof rack to your vehicle. The covers protect the interior components of the legs from the elements and give the roof rack a finished look.
The 2500 Series roof rack is easy to install and remove from your roof. Once installed, the crossbar, legs and clamp kit stay together as one unit, which makes removing, storing, and reinstalling very easy. To remove, simply loosen the bolts inside the towers with the security tool. Stickers are supplied to mark leg locations during your initial setup so when you want to reinstall you know exactly where the system goes.

Today on this 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt we're going to be test fitting a Rhino Rack Roof Rack System. We already have our crossbar assemblies put together according to the instructions so now we're ready to mount them up on top of the vehicle. The first thing we need to do is open both front doors. Next we'll take our crossbar assembly and lay it up on top of the roof. We'll measure from the center of the seam where the two doors meet to the center of the front bar. This measurement needs to be 250 mm or 9,27/32".
Once we've done that, we can go ahead and seat the hooks of our clamps against the door frame and tighten the system down. We'll move back and forth from driver's side to passenger side so to make sure we tighten down the system evenly. Next, we'll open our rear doors and set our rear assembly into place. To position our rear bar, again, we'll check to make sure that it's even from left to right, but we also need to measure 700 mm from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. Next, we'll seat the hooks inside the weather stripping, and again, move back and forth from driver's side to passenger's side to tighten the system evenly.
And finally, with the crossbar assemblies matted on top of the vehicle, the last step is to install the locking covers. We'll do the same for both sides of the vehicle. Lastly, we're going to take a measurement to see how much height we've added, from the top of the roof to the top of the new crossbar assembly we've added about 4-1/4" of height. And that does it for our test fit of the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System on our 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt.

I couldn't be happier! The package arrived on time, and although I wished the roof rack had been a little more pre-assembled, it was easy to follow the steps and put it together. The rack works perfectly, and I will certainly order products from etrailer again!61697
