I have owned 2 INNO roof rack systems for different vehicles in our family…this is the 3rd…for our 2026 Honda Pilot TrailSport…Since I already owned the correct size INNO Load Bars (51”) I only needed to purchase the foot pads and separate mounting hardware kit that is specific for my vehicles’ raised roof rails - factory mount points on the inside rails have been pre-drilled by Honda with internal fasteners and silicone plugs…the 8 plugs were easy to pop out, and installing the bracket kit onto the rails was easy…I was able to attach the load bars down to the brackets by myself, but it probably would’ve been easier to have one extra person on the other side…but not necessary if you’re fairly mechanical. The INNO foot pad, model XS 350, fit on to the brackets after a little finesse and colorful language was used…but not too bad overall…one thing that is not very easy to do is to adjust the load bars once you have the brackets securely in place…they are challenging to “slide/force/finesse” in order to make both sides equal prior to tightening everything down…once tightened down, the rack, load bars, and mounting points are completely secure and feel robust.
I wish that Honda would have more options than just one place for each load bar to be placed…they should have 4-5 options per side…but that’s not an INNO problem, that’s a Honda issue.
one thing that I don’t like about INNO are the end caps…they’re black and chrome finish plastic caps…not a fan of the chrome trim on them…so I have sanded, cleaned, primed, painted and clear coated them in orange, which is a color accent on the car…but I wish INNO would offer silicone or a more durable all black cap end, and/or offer heavy duty tie down loops that you could use for tie downs, bungee cords, or elastic netting with hooks. 3603176
