Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4
The Rhino Rack is very well made. I installed it my self on our 2016 Ford Escape, but had an assist from my wife to fine tune it at the end. There was no whistling or any other distracting wind noise on our 3,500 mile drive to visit family out West. A Sear's Cargo Box was easily mounted to the Rhino Rack and it remained centered and secured at western highway speed limits plus. The included locks on the roof mounts were the selling point for me. The Rhino Rack remained securely mounted to the roof with no additional adjustments or tightening being needed. Great Product. Donna P. @ etrailer was super with the order.
Very nice racks, detailed instructions and perfect fit for my 2014 Ford Escape. You get what you pay for.

Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised Side Rails - Aluminum - 50" Long - Silver
This rack was easy to install on my 2017 Ford Escape, and arrived quickly. I ordered the 50 inch version, and would STRONGLY recommend getting the 58 inch model for the Escape. If the front bar is mounted well forward, the end caps cannot be installed, because the clamps are too far outboard. No wind noise at 65 mph.
2018 Ford EscapeWe installed the roof rack and box for ski season and a roadtrip from Colorado to Florida. The whole roof set up does come along with more wind noise but that is to be expected. We drove for days at 75+mph with tons of strong cross wind at times. I was admittedly a little worried but every time I checked the roof but all was in order. Impressed.

2017 Ford EscapeI like that they have rubber padding but the strips pop out at times. Easy to push back in though.

Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised Side Rails - Aluminum - 58" Long - Silver
2017 Ford EscapeGreat rack. Very little wind noise on my 2017 Escape. The only issue is a slight one. I wish the allen key to tighten the mechanism was longer so it would clear the end of the rack. Other than that minor little bit, it is a great piece.

Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roof - Qty 4
The whole experience was freakin awesome. * Ordered on-line, delivered when promised, all packages were in excellent condition, and all parts were accounted for - no shortages, THANK YOU! * The Thule roof rack design, quality of materials, comprehensive instructions were really impressive. Everything went together without a hitch and really looks good installed. * We plan on carrying our 12 1/2' SUP's on the roof rack when we head out to the lakes. * It saves us time as our SUP's are inflatable, however it takes a bit of time to pump them up once we get there. Now it's just loosen them up and we're ready to go. Great job etrailer, I would definitely buy more products from your organization!!
Etrailer helped me out of a jam as I could not find the Thule parts I needed. They not only had the parts but got them to me in a few days! Made my trip to Lake Placid possible! Fantastic communication and customer service.

Yakima RoundBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 58" Long - Qty 2
Purchased the bars, clips & end caps for installation on my 2013 Ford Escape - shipping was very prompt and all items items were easily installed thanks to the helpful videos. Will definitely return to etrailer for any additional parts I need in the future
Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)

Yakima RoundBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 48" Long - Qty 2
I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.
Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2
The Rhino Racks Vortex Aero are solid. My first drive with them was to Brighton Utah from Riverside California. They were not only secure throughout the drive and hard winds, they were also reasonably quiet. On top I attached a Thule Force L 628 roof box and it fits perfectly. The only complaints I have are how difficult it was to install the racks to my fixed points. It took several friends, a mechanic, and two days to get everything right.
HondaBought and installed on my 2019 Honda Fit. I’ve driven from Chicago to Big Bend in TX and to the Black Hills in SD with a cargo box attached and have had zero issues. Installation is simple enough and are easy to take off when needed.

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 53" Long - Qty 2
Thule rack looks great on my Kia Telluride. The pieces took a while to get to me because they were on backorder but it's not etrailer, they were on backorder everywhere. I messed up a piece of the rubber while installing and etrailer sent me another one free of charge. Would definitely recommend etrailer.
Superb experience with etrailer.com. From order to delivery in 2 days. All components in perfect condition and very useful video links to help assemble and mount. I am very impressed by the overall customer experience so far given by etrailer!

Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 2
Disclosure: I have not had the chance to use the product yet. This review is for Etrailer specifically and the purchase process on these products. I am new to these racks so I read an Etrailer forum on what parts to buy. Trusting their help, they recommended the Yakima landing pads, the Highline towers, and the HD bars; so I ordered. At no time did they or the computer ask me to order the metal adaptor to ATTACH the bars. Being new to the rack system, they should have been on top of this and disclosed that I would not be able to use ANY of my products till I had these tiny metal adaptors. I.E. "Have you bought the correct adaptor to mount your bars?" Anything would have helped! Now I have all three things sitting in my garage collecting dust with a pending order to another company for the tiny metal adaptors, making the delay another week and a half. This puts a sour taste in my mouth.
with so many variables having someone that could sort through all them was very helpful Thanks etrailer

Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet
They slide a little, but do the job
I am a fifty-four year old single woman and being able to install these roof racks by myself makes me feel empowered!! I watched a video emailed with my delivery confirmation of an installation on a similar vehicle all the way through first, and then watched it again as I did the steps myself, pausing when I needed to. The products appear to be of high quality, were packaged/shipped neatly and it was easy to organize everything for installation. I couldn't be happier!

Up top, we're going to have our 53-inch SquareBar crossbars, and Thule's actually redesigned these to make them suit the foot pack a little bit better instead of having a foot pack where it comes over the crossbar like that. They actually have an integrated channel right here, so that our raised rail feet can come in this slot, they don't wrap around our bar though. We're going to have more usability of the top bar.Now down here we're going to have the Evo raised side rail feet. These clamp on your raised side rails, and basically just connect the crossbars to your roof. We open up our foot, you'll just see we have our tightening bolt right here, and that's what clamps it down onto the side rail.
