Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, I'm gonna talk about and show you how to install the Rhino-Rack Locking End Caps for your Vortex Aero Bars. So you might be here for different reasons, maybe you've seen one of my many roof rack installation videos where I installed a roof rack on your car and I recommend, "Hey, if you want, you could upgrade to locking end caps." Or maybe you already have a Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, and you're using a T-track slot a little bit more often than usual and you wanna make sure that you keep that secured. Well, here are the locking end caps to upgrade your system. Your Rhino-Rack Roof Rack already comes with locking end caps, but they use a plastic lock core that uses a plastic key. I still think this is really good security because not everyone has a special type of a hex key, and it keeps it secure to your crossbar, but sometimes, you may wanna upgrade. You can upgrade to these metal lock cores so these have a special number on them, and if you use the Rhino-Rack Master Key with a bunch of different lock cores you can have it keyed-alike to your own accessories.
It works the same way as the plastic lock , so you just turn the key. With this kit, you get four of these locking end caps, these four are keyed-alike and you get two keys. So if you want your accessories to match too, let's say you have a Rhino-Rack Bike Rack and you wanna switch out the lock cores, you are gonna have to get more than four master key lock cores if you want everything to be keyed-alike. So if that's your plan, plan ahead of time, otherwise, you're just getting four lock cores with this kit. Switching out is very easy.
You use your plastic key to turn your old end cap into the unlocked position. Pop that end cap off, and then you get your new end cap. This is in the unlocked position, and that just pops right back in. Repeat the process for all four end caps, and make sure that all of them are locked before your trip. And that's it.
Was a look at the locking end caps for your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bars. My name is Evangeline, and I hope you enjoyed the journey.

As for an update, these locks have been solid and have performed as they should. Ive used my Rhino rack many times over the year and for the accessories I have that use the T-Slot channel, Ive never felt that items I left on top of the car were at risk or not secure enough. They are always on through rain, snow and everything else, and the locking mechanisms have not rusted and they still perform well. Quality Product.
