The Inno Aero Roof Rack gives you a solid platform for hauling your favorite gear. Its aluminum crossbars provide a strong, stable system that can handle up to 165 lbs while keeping the load balanced across your roof. Whether it’s for kayaks, camping gear, or luggage, you get the confidence of sturdy 48" or 51" long bars that hold steady mile after mile.
Nothing ruins a road trip faster than loud wind noise. The aerodynamic bar shape and push-down rubber strips in the top channels help reduce wind noise and vibration while you drive. The strips seal around your mounted accessories and don’t require trimming, so you get a quiet ride and a clean setup every time.
These aero crossbars are ready for whatever you want to carry. They work with most universal cargo, water, snow, and bike carriers—so you can mount a kayak in the summer or a cargo box for cross-country trips. The top channels accept channel-mount accessories, and the outer shape lets clamp-on mounts fit securely too.
When you leave your gear unattended, the lockable leg covers help deter theft of the rack system. It’s a simple, built-in safeguard that keeps your investment protected whether you're at a trailhead or parked overnight at camp.
Made from durable aluminum and finished in black, the rack resists the elements trip after trip. It combines low weight with long-term toughness, and it’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty so you can keep loading up with confidence year after year.

Hello neighbor, this is Curt with etrailer and today we're gonna take a look at the Inno Aero Roof Rack on our 2025 Nissan Rogue. Now, if you've had any experience with this roof rack or if you have questions about it, go ahead and leave those in the comments below. We love to take those and share them with our other neighbors in order to help them make the best decisions for themselves. Now, if you're in a situation where you have to travel somewhere and maybe you've got a full car, all four or five passengers in there, you're probably gonna need some extra space for cargo and that's where a roof rack is gonna come in very handy for you. A roof rack can hold things such as bike racks, cargo boxes, kayak carriers, you know, really anything that you need that won't fit in the vehicle or maybe it's something that you just don't want to ride with in the vehicle. I think roof racks are a good option compared to, say, a hitch accessory, like a basket or cargo box, only because it's still, it's more up and outta the way than having an extra few feet hanging off the bumper.
So Inno's Aero Roof Rack is an aero-style bar, which means it's got an ovular shape with a blade in the back. That's really gonna cut down on wind resistance. It's gonna reduce noise and improve gas mileage for you. It can be mounted by clamp accessories or using the rubber weatherstrip up top. It can be depressed to accept T-slot accessories.
But while we're up here, I just wanna take a few measurements and see how this kind of interacts with the Rogue. One of the things that I do want to note is that your crossbar placement is going to be predetermined. So it's not gonna be a situation where you can move these bars kinda wherever you want. So this should be consistent with your setup, as well. But as it's set up, we're gonna have a center-to-center crossbar spread of 27 and 3/4 inches.
Now, that's a really good spread. 26 inches to 32 inches is really where most rooftop accessories require you to be in. So this should be able to accommodate almost anything that you'd wanna put up here. Another important thing to take a look at is to see just how much height this is gonna add to the vehicle. And to the top of the bar, we're looking at 4 and 3/4 inches.
So just bear that in mind. This isn't a very tall vehicle, but if you do happen to go somewhere that has, you know, kind of a lower hanging area to it, you just wanna be conscious that you got almost five extra inches coming up. Another one is we're gonna check the clearance underneath the bar to the vehicle roof, which is going to be at about 3 and 1/4 to 3 and 1/2 inches, basically, that's plenty of room under here for really almost any clamp accessory to fit around and grab onto. Now, Inno does make a fantastic set of crossbars and they're really, really good value. And one of the things that I think makes them stand out more than other crossbar manufacturers is the fact that you do get lockable covers. So you are gonna get a set of keys, all four of your towers will be keyed alike and that's really nice 'cause most crossbars, you actually have to purchase lockable cores from the company to supplement a plastic one that would come with. So the fact that this comes with lockable towers is a huge bonus for the Inno crossbars. But now let's take the clock back just a little bit. We're gonna show you exactly how we got these mounted on our roof. Now, as we begin our installation, we've kinda laid out everything that we need here. As you can see, we've already got our rear bar installed. We're gonna go ahead and get our front bar installed. We have put together one of the towers, however, installation of that is the exact same on all four of them. So I'll show you how we did that right here. So the first thing that we're gonna need to do is remove our end cap, then we're gonna take this tray, we're gonna slide it all the way out, just like that. This piece here is what we're gonna be putting in that's gonna allow us to bolt down our towers onto the bar. So we're gonna put that in just like so. We'll pop in just from the underneath, kind of just like this. And then we're gonna slide that all the way back, depress this tab and get it all in this more open square area. Now, as we grab our tower, we'll see that these slots are all gonna line up. Our T-slot is gonna line up here, this little tab right there, and the bolt is gonna go right in there. So what we're gonna do right now is just kind of get that in there in place and we're going to just work it and slide it on back. Now, because it's a naked roof that we're working with today, we are going to have to predetermine how far apart the towers are on our crossbar. Luckily, they are gonna provide us with a measurement for that. There is a mark right here at the center of the bar and the measurement that it gives us, we're gonna be measuring to this line right here. So the measurement that Inno gave us for the front bar is 20 and 3/4. So we're gonna go ahead and get that measured out. Quite a bit more to go here. And we're just gonna work on it until we get to that 20 and 3/4 inches. So now we've got ourselves measured out 20 and 3/4 to the mark on each tower. At this point, we can go ahead and tighten our towers down so that they're not gonna slide back and forth on us. We're gonna use the provided Allen key for that. Right through this hole here, there is a bolthead and we're just going to tighten that down until it's good and snug. The next thing we're gonna put on is our rubber foot pad. Now, this should be pretty easy to determine how it goes on. It does leave indentations for all the different screw heads on here, along with these, so it's pretty easy to orientate, but from underneath, you wanna make sure that the thinner part of this kinda ledge right here is facing the outside. And once you get in that position, you're just gonna depress it on until it pops on everywhere and is on there nice and snug. All right, now we're ready to go ahead and put this up on our roof and see how it looks. Now, as we've got it up on the roof here, I do wanna mention that you'll probably notice in your kit, you have two different length bars, one at 49 inches one at 52 inches. The 52-inch bar will be the one going toward the front. And as far as placement goes, there are specific areas that we need to place these here. Now, the way that Inno measures it is from the door seam. So they want the front bolt, or the front, the bolt of the front bar to be in the center of two inches from the door seam here. So we've got that measured out. For the back bar, from the door seam, that center bolt should be at 25 and 1/4 inches. So once you have those in the right areas, you'll be good to go. You should see that it is seated nicely. That little ledge that we have in the rubber foot pad should seat really nicely up against the vehicle here. And Inno also provides a a padded sticker kind of tape that you could put on here to really protect your door from scratches with the clamps, however, because this is not a permanent install that we're doing today, we're supplementing painter tape for that. So in order to get our clamps on, what we're first going to do is just remove this bolt. We can do this by hand. And we are gonna take our clamp, there are two different lengths of clamp, as well, because there's more of the vehicle body to cover, the longer clamps will go on your rear bar, the shorter on the front. We're just gonna slide that right up in there, hook it around our inside of our door frame there, and then we're just going to rethread that bolt in by hand and get it tightened down. And what we're going to do next is kind of tighten these down incrementally, both here on the driver and on the passenger side. I don't want to torque this all the way down on one side 'cause I don't want to risk, you know, the clamp tightening and then kind of popping everything out of place. So we're just gonna go a little bit on each side until we get to the point where we can completely torque it down. And the final step is gonna be to make sure these all torque down. The provided Inno tool is a torquing tool. So you're gonna hear a loud pop like that when you know you've got it tight enough. So once that's complete on all four towers, we'll be ready to put on our tower covers. Putting on our tower covers is really easy. There's gonna be these hooks right here that we're just gonna simply latch in, move it up into place, and then lock it on with the provided keys. Once we get this done here, we're on, everything's tightened down. We're ready to load up and hit the road. So there you have it. I think the Inno Aero Roof Rack is an excellent choice for you and your 2025 Nissan Rogue. Once again, I'm Curt with etrailer, thanks for stopping by.
Ratings & Reviews
Installed on my go 460 a year ago. Put them on and never took them off. I have surfboard pads on as well. Noise level is not bad and I don’t even notice them anymore. Highly recommend them. Very sturdy.
I did a lot of searching before selecting this rack for my Durango RT (no factory roof rails). It is easy to reinstall once the initial process is followed, I marked my doorjambs with a sharpie and it is easy to set up. Great product!
Product is great. Fits perfectly with some minor measurement adjustments. Can be assembled by one person, but helps to have two. Bought the complete roof kit and well as the Inno 80 basket for a Mazda CX3, took about two hours to assemble everything.
Installation went pretty smoothly. The trick is to fully understand each step before moving to the next. There are a lot of small parts which at first was a little intimidating, but soon I was able to "get with it". I love the finished product and think you helped me get a good deal. Thank you for that
Works perfectly! As indicated in previous review the tech writers at Inno should update the instructions on measurement process, but after I placed and centered the roof rack on my vehicle and tightened it down it worked great!
Easy directions to follow for install. I especially appreciate how E trailer packages all products as a unit based upon your specific vehicle. I had no idea which parts to pair together for best functionality and E trailer made it easy to create the combination of parts needed for Lexus GX460. Highly recommend.
Once I realized which bar was the front one and which was the back it was a fairly easy install. Since the measurements for the foot placement were wrong in the instructions I would suggest not tightening the feet all the way to the bars until you put it on the car. It would have been nice if both sets of rubber pads were the same, with the tunnel hook, and if they had adhesive backing to avoid losing them. I added 2 sided tape.
Has worked great for transporting my fishing Kayak as well as small loads of lumber. It has worked fine for about a dozen and a half boards at a time or a couple of sheets of plywood. Just make sure that you have a good way to strap them down as well as maybe a rubber mat to help hold everything in place. The noise from it on the high way can be a lot but certainly not as bad as some that I have heard. I figure that anything on the outside of a vehicle like that will produce some noise.
These feet are easy to use and go well wit the Inno system. I was worried since my car did not come with any roof racks, but this is the solution to haul things on my roof. They work well and are very secure.
Started assembly last summer and finally completed installation this spring. Directions took a lot of attention to detail but were adequate. Rack went on car securely and looks great. Have attached kayak rack and a roof pod and both worked flawlessly. Would definitely recommend.
Ellen was very knowledgable about the product and helpful in getting the exchange processed. And while the product itself seems to be of excellent quality, I did have to trim the crossbars a bit in order for them to fit precisely enough that the plastic pieces that cover the metal hardware could actually fit properly and be locked on, as they are supposed to be. There is no leeway for a non-perfect fit. It would be easy for me to mount a new set if I had to, but doing it for the first time was very time-consuming. The mechanism is somewhat complicated, and the directions were OK but could have been a little clearer on a couple of the procedures. Try it some time and you'll see what I mean.
I have had countless bike racks over the years and this is by far the best system I have ever had. Fits like a glove on my F150. Easy to install, looks great and the bikes do not move when on the roof.
These are made perfectly for your vehicle. They are very secure when combined with the other Inno products. No worries of the rack system coming off. Using them to transport kayaks using kayak holders.
Tule and Yakima did not have a rack for my Nissan murano. So it was a blessing to find the immo rack. It seems like it can fit any car model. It's strong and secure. I feel my equipment will be safe with this rack.
Seems to be solid railing and aerodynamic easy instillation for the most part. Measurement recommendations are a bit off.
etrailer was the only vendor who had the custom fit roof rack feet I needed for my vehicle. I was trying to put a roof rack onto a Dodge Durango SRT...not a typical vehicle for this accessory! I looked everywhere for a suitable roof rack and thought I was settling by ordering the Inno kit from etrailer. I could not have been more wrong! I am so happy with the purchase!
Waste of money. Most annoying couple hours spent in a long time. Extremely disappointed. Does not fit well. Not exactly a cheap option, but a cheap option in terms of fit and engineering. The instructions online and in the kits do not agree. But there is no helping the design. Plus there are no universal set of instructions--they are all individual items for the fit kit, the bars, etc. But a reasonably inclined person can figure it out so no big deal, but the engineering design is garbage--requires precise measurement yet the design is such that exact measurement is impossible due to the design.
Additionally, the parts are low quality Either low density plastic or easily stripped bolts. Even when as precise as possible, I wouldn't trust it with my kayak. What a mistake. Do yourself a favor and get a Yakima trailer or similar. It isn't that much more money in the scheme of things and then it isn't tied to your car. Can add a hitch to most vehicles anyway.
I have a 2022 Lexus GX460 Premium. Fairly simple installation and a almost seem less transition from the fit kit to the cross bar system. Can be done by one person, but I would suggest a two-person system to expedite the process
Installation was a little tricky but once the "feet" were attached to the roof and the bars properly spaced, everything wrapped up very well.
There is no noticeable wind noise with these installed.
I bought these as part of a kit with 60" Aero bars and the appropriate kit for my 14 Flex. I spent probably an hour and a half double checking my measurements and getting them torqued down properly. I spaced the bars on top of the car just a little wider than proscribed because I was planning on carrying 4x8 plywood, and it looked better to my eye. One thing to watch for: The instructions for the car-specific kit (in my case INK263) show the foot spacing measurements for a square bar, and the measuring point for these feet and Aero bars is different. That measurement point is indicated in the instructions for the feet, not the kit. Same numbers, just different reference point. Otherwise, they look good and are rock solid.
We recently purchased 2 kayaks & Thule roof racks from our local outdoor store.
After waiting 2 weeks for our roof racks and J bars to come in we found that the Thule racks did not fit our 2017 Lincoln MKX and they didn't make any racks that would. The vehicle does not have roof racks and has a moon roof.
After a couple of days searching the internet we discovered etrailer.com. We found the Inno roof racks, but still was not sure they would work. We spoke to a repesenative and he assured us that the racks we chose would fit and the Thule J bars we did return would also work. As you can see by the photos 2 days later we were happy Kayakers.
Originally, I was waiting for the Yakima crossbars to be restocked for my GX460 but decided I couldn’t wait it out any longer and went with the Inno’s aero set. Overall, they look great, fit great and seem to be very good quality. I was able to assemble the rack myself, it took me about an hour and half, I wish the installation was a bit easier but after watching the video from etrailer it all came together perfectly !
Once again etrailer.com delivers. Finding a crossbar solution for my 2021 Lexus GX 460 was far more challenging than expected until I visited the site and found exactly what I needed. The fit kit worked great and the quality of the feet and crossbars on par or better than other brands (who dropped the ball on having a product available for this vehicle). The rack is on, secure and now carrying my Thule cargo box. Very happy.
The Inno roof rack is an excellent product and etrailer.com provides exceptional service with videos, email, chat and phone. I bought this roof rack for my 2008 Ford Edge because because there is enough clearance for the moon roof. I use it to mount a 600W solar system for rustic camping instead of a noisy generator. I wish I'd taken a photo... I won't be mounting it again until mid-August 2024.
Worked like a charm. My daughter and I completed a 10K mile, 35 day camping trip around the USA.
