I bought the roof rack to carry kayaks back and forth from Pennsylvania to Florida. The rack is solid and performs that task very well. My plan was to take the rack off and on but I decided to just leave it on. I do notice some wind noise since I've added the rack but it does not distract me and I would say that it is not excessive but it is noticeable.
I did have problems during the installation. I mounted the racks on a Ford 250 super duty. And the instructions were very clear as to where the feet that's support the rack where to be installed. Plastic strips are cut and the feet that support the rack on the roof push up to the cut plastic strips and that is what determines placement. I read the instructions several times and had seen an installation on another truck owned by a friend of mine. When I pushed the feet to the proper position I could not attached the clamps from the rack feet to the rain gutter on the truck which holds the whole assembly on the roof. They were too short. I spoke to Etrailer and a consensus was that I had cut the strips correctly. Etrailer's input of course was over the phone and they could not actually see or measure anything that I did. Nevertheless, in order to install the rack I had to move the feet on each side a bit closer to the rain gutter on the truck. I did not think that this would make any difference and based on the performance I have not noticed any problems. I would have given this product and excellent rating if I did not have to deal with the little problem that I had with the fit. As I said I have not taken it off the roof and I reach up and check it now and then and it's as solid as the day I put it on.
This review covers the Rhino Rack 2500 Vortex Aero crossbars and associated parts (DK284, RRRLKVA, RRVA137S-2) for a naked roof installation on a 2018 Honda CR-V.
Very solid racks. We just took our first trip using them and the didn't budge. As recommended, a few days after installing, I tightened the bolts a bit. I'm not sure they needed it--just a little insurance.
The installation process was clear, but fairly detailed. It would be easy to miss a step, so take your time. Also, I tried a couple shortcuts in the order when installing on the car, but had to back track. So, go in the order they give you.
The racks easily supported our filled "pod" and a couple surfboards, strapped side-by-side. Sorry, no photos of the rack loaded. One thing to watch out for is that our old Thule pod almost didn't fit because of the thickness of the racks. I had to loosen the bolts almost entirely.
Of note: I feel that although I followed the measurements to the millimeter, the fit on our 2018 Honda CR-V wasn't exact. Where the pads sit on the roof of the car didn't align perfectly. I could have adjusted this by just re-trimming the rubber pads that go in the channels, but it's not a big deal, so I just left it.
Finally, I do have one concern. The angle of final installation doesn't really protect the racks from theft very well. The plastic plate that locks over the screw would allow someone with the proper tool to get up under it and loosen the bolts. That being said, someone so inclined could also just break the little plastic door or drill a hole in it to access the bolt. So, I guess it's just a deterrent anyway.
Overall, I'm very happy with the racks and etrailer.com! Despite shipping delays due to Covid-19, they were able to get the racks to me in time for an upcoming trip. I did choose to expedite shipping, but the cost was very reasonable.
Solid all around and easy to mount. This was a good choice for my needs.
Hi George from etrailer,
The rack is awesome! Strong, firm hold and nice looking. When doing surveys, I put my ladders on the rack.
I highly recommend this etrailer.
I'm very happy that Rhino Rack builds roof racks to accommodate a large variety of vehicles. Trying to fit a rack to my 22-year-old Chevy pickup with a naked roof was a challenge. Fortunately, the people at etrailer are extremely knowledgeable and were able to get a direct fit. The rack fits awesome and will help in an upcoming road trip. Thanks Alex and etrailer team.
Fits well. Using RhinoRack system for ladders. Residential Light Construction. I made my own air deflector.lol
I couldn't find a rack to fit my car anywhere, I have been looking for years and just found Rhino rack on the Internet a few weeks ago.
The Rhino rack for my Toyota Camry is perfect! Easy to assemble, good quality parts, fits really well. Can't wait to get my canoe out on a lake thanks finally to this rack!!
Thank you for the timely replacement and for the perfect fit item. Cheers!
Hello sorry for the late response/review. I would have to rate the rhino rack set up a 3.5 The measurements to set the feet up and the video that was previously sent was not for my 2022 honda accord.
Great service fast shipping
Not overly impressed. Seem kindly flimsy. I tightened the bolt to the specification according to the included wrench and the front bar thought it was a good idea to be on an angle pointing backwards when I had my kayak tied to it. Took it off, and will only mount when I need it.. sucks considering it was over $[XX]
Installed it and too much wind noise. Would not recommend if your going to put it on a honda accord. I don’t know about other cars but don’t don’t do it on a honda accord. Highly dissapointed especially after spending this much money
Quick fast shipping albeit expensive but understandable. Packaged properly and great online experience.
Excellent communication throughout the process, from ordering to delivery. I liked how each person assigned to handle the order was shown for each step in the ordering, shipment preparation, and delivery to the survey after the roof rack arrived. The delivery was very quick and my package arrived in record time.
This roof rack is well built and less expensive than other makes of rack. This is my second Rhino rack and I have been satisfied with my first one. The reason why I'm buying another Rhino rack. I only have a negative word for the foot plates. Out of the 4 foot plates there were no back plates, only Front Right and Front Left plates. Therefore I had to figure how to place them in the back. I needed to install them in reverse.
Could not be any happier with my Rhino-Rack from etrailer. I received my order days early and was instantly assembled and mounted on my car. It works fantastically for transporting multiple kayaks.
Same good quality I expect from Rhino Rack. I think fitment was based of previous model year, and there was a minor amount of adjustment to fit on my car, but nothing major.

Still happy with it! It goes on easily and comes off easily. So I can use it when I need it then store it when I dont. Havent noticed a major mileage impact, but I dont usually keep it on. It does whistle a little bit.
The rack is very strong and reliable. Mine is for a 2023 Honda Accord. The instructions that came with the rack were wrong about the orientation of one of the pads. Hopefully they have updated them and are now correct. I recommend the Rhino-Rack in spite of the faulty instructions.

After 3 years it’s still is a great addition to our car! This summer we are driving to Canada and the rack will allow us to as additional storage for the trip. I really believe it adds a little extra style to the car as well.

I think I understand what you might be seeing. The roof rack set is a fit for the model years of 18 - 22 and the videos are on a 2010 - 2017 model Accord where the fit kit would be different. I apologize that the videos are incorrect and I am working towards having them removed. As for the instructions, as long as you received the manual for fit kit part DK511 then it is correct. I know that it says date of 12-19 however since this fits model years 18 - 22 for the Honda Accord then the manufacturer tends to update the instructions when there is a change. I double checked the manufacturer site and the manual we have is the most current.
