How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Inno Aero Bars on our 2023 Audi Q5. The number one reason a person generally gets rooftop bars is to increase the amount of space they have for cargo and bulkier items. You know, with the Q5, you don't really have a large cargo area, so if you wanna add a rooftop carrier, maybe a rooftop tent, rooftop basket, any one of those accessories, this is gonna work with most of them. It's just a great way to make use of space that you normally wouldn't have to transport items. So you're gonna press the small tab here and remove our end cap, so we can take a look at our T-track. Essentially, this is gonna be about an inch tall, about an inch wide, and you have a under track slot for accessories as well that's about 10 inches.
So overall, if you have most accessories, they're gonna work with this bar. Let's see, as far as your overhang, you don't really have much going beyond the vehicle. But your rise here from the top is right at 2 1/2 inches on center, so that's gonna work with just about everything out there. You also have a keyed alike key for each one of your feet to secure your bars to the top of your vehicle, and that just removes really easily. Once you get this guy installed, if you loosen just the nut on the inside, you'd be able to just remove it whenever you need to take your rooftop bars off, if you need a car wash or you're just storing them for the season.
So let me show you how to install this on your Q5. I'm gonna hop into the install. Take your aero bar, and you'll notice there's a slot on the bottom of it. This is actually where you install your feet. So you're gonna push down the little black button, slide it in, and that'll free up the channel to install your foot.
Make sure with the end cap removed, you'll align the cleat at the bottom, and this guy will just snap into place once you pull up on the lever. So now, it's locked in and you can adjust for the spread of your crossbars. I'm gonna do the same on the other side. Grab your rubber pad, and you're gonna put that at the bottom of your foot. This is what's gonna help protect your bar against scratching.
And you're gonna take your pad with the barrel nut and install it on the inside here with the pad side facing the foot. And then the final part, the same way. And as you see, you're creating a clamp that'll wrap around your crossbar. And I just kinda hand tighten the bolt through that barrel nut that's in the inside clamp just to get it started to hold it in place. And I'll do the same on both sides, then we'll put it on top of our vehicle. And once you have your crossbars positioned, I use the fixed mounting points on the raised rail themselves. There's two holes on the back of here where I use my position for my spread, but since there isn't a fixed point for the Inno to work, you can position the spread however you need for whatever accessory you may have. Using the included torque wrench, you're gonna go from side to side, slowly tightening up till you reach your torque spec just to make sure you're getting even tightening, 'cause it can cause one side to lift up, you know, if you do it completely on one side versus the other. So I'm gonna hop to the other side, tighten a little bit more, and then come back, and I'll let you see what that torque click sounds like with the wrench. (nut clicking) (wrench cranking) And that's just the sound of everything settling, and once you hear that click, it'll no longer turn, and you've reached a specified torque requirement. And we're gonna take our cover with our keyed alike key and secure our crossbar to the vehicle. As far as the spread that you have with this guy, on center, you're right at 29 inches. But you do have the usage of the entire length of your raised rails on your Q5. So this has been a look at the Inno Aero Bars on top of our 2023 Audi Q5. Have a great day.

Ratings & Reviews
easy purchase. when I changed vehicles, I needed new feet for my Aero Crossbars. These fit the style roof racks on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee. They were easy to install and took the locks I had from my other Inno mount these replaced. Love the racks,
Rack looks great on the car.
I've owned it for a year now and it is holding up very well.
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
Great racks. High quality parts. Fit perfectly. Went together easily.
Great product, awesome service!
Fits my 2020 Ford Explorer ST great.
Easy to remove for long trips.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good fit. Looks good.
Check out my other review and pics....all the info is there
Easy install. Works great.
Well made
Solid product at a better price than most other rack bars. Has served me well for a year without any issues.
I got my new rack very fast after I ordered it which was awesome I ordered the one I ordered because it had great reviews about road noise… Are used it Saturday didn’t hear anything which is also awesome my paddleboard did not even move on my rack I was concerned about air trying to lift it it’s easy to mount my paddleboard on top of my car and I couldn’t be happier here is a picture for reference...
I've been a happy etrailer customer for years. Sales staff helped me pick out the right roof rack setup for my new 2023 Escape that worked with my low-profile rails. 3 separate boxes of pieces but they all came together perfectly. Very happy with my purchase and etrailer customer support! Rack is solid, low wind noise and will work with the accessories I need, kayak carrier and cargo basket.
