Features to know about

Avoid Awkward Overhang: Flush, Factory-Look Bars

The ROC25 roof rack keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline for a clean, from-the-factory look. The flush design means the bars don’t stick out past the legs, giving the rack a streamlined profile that blends into your vehicle. That tighter fit also helps reduce drag and wind noise while keeping everything looking neat and balanced.

Cut Down on Wind Noise: Aerodynamic Vortex Aero Crossbars

Wind noise can get annoying fast when you add a roof rack. The Vortex Aero crossbars are built with rubberized strips that disrupt airflow with wave-shaped grooves. This design breaks up the wind and quiets down those high-pitched whistles on the highway. The slim, elliptical aluminum bars slice through the air smoothly so you can enjoy a quiet ride without needing a fairing.

Built to Last Through Every Season: Lightweight Aluminum and Reinforced Nylon Legs

The ROC25 system uses structural-grade anodized aluminum bars with an internal H-shaped extrusion for strength without extra weight. The bars are rustproof, so you can leave them on year-round without worrying about corrosion. Each leg is made from UV-treated, glass-reinforced nylon that stands up to sunlight, heavy loads, and bad weather.

Mount Accessories Without Hassle: Channel and Clamp-On Ready

You’re not locked into one setup with this rack. The crossbars have built-in C-channels for carriers like bike racks, watersport cradles, or ski holders, and they also work with clamp-on mounts. The top Vortex strips come in three pieces, so you can remove or trim sections around your mounts without cutting down an entire strip. They keep dirt out of the channels and help cushion your gear while keeping things quiet.

Keep Your Gear Secure: Locks Built Right In

Each leg has locking covers that keep the rack and your channel-mounted accessories secure. All locks are keyed alike, so one key handles everything. The covers give a finished look while protecting your setup from theft when you’re parked at the trailhead or campsite.

Great product, great service from etrailer. The instructions were very clear and I had it installed on my car in under an hour. It's very solid



by:

Easy installation and has a somewhat sleek look compared to some other racks. Adds a lot of utility to to our truck.



by:

This rack is a perfect low profile rack that has enough clearance to allow the pano sunroof to open freely while installed. I will be using it to transport my stand up paddle boards. I love how there is no bar overhang with this rack and has a flush custom look. It was easy to install with the help of the instructional video on etrailer’s website. Shipping took longer than expected but it was 100% the fault of USPS and the employees at etrailer were extremely helpful in getting it figured out. I would absolutely recommend this rack and would definitely purchase from etrailer again.



by:

Worth every penny, 1 year later and it’s still holding up strong with the peace of mind that my kayak won’t go flying off in travel.



by:

Great rack for my 2022 Edge! Great videos for ease of installation but did take two of us. Would have 5 stars but for one of the adhesive pads coming out after just 3 weeks of use. Just emailed customer service to let them know and ask for replacement adhesive pad(s).



by:

I've used this rack a few times now on my Range Rover Sport, and it has worked flawlessly. Two reasons why I went went with this rack, I liked the rounded ends vs the racks that over hang over (if this gives you enough rack space), and I wanted to easily take down because I like the clean roof look without the roof rails as I only need a rack 2-3 times a year. They don't leave mark and it's also cheaper than the OEM ones. I marked the 4 areas on the roof with tape to easily align my brackets, re-tighten all 4 and they are back up. I use with an older cargo box and can still open my large sun roof. I bought the RR573 ski holders too which I really like. I've used them separately with 2 pairs of ski's, and plan to use them together side-by-side later this year. I measured and they should barely fit next to each other.



by:

These crossbars were absolutely great. Installation was a breeze made transporting our kayaks and all of our camping stuff a lot easier.



by:

Great solution to our 2nd gen Ford Edge w naked roof. Functionally just what we needed. Looks great. Pretty quiet but does make a low volume whistling noise that I can hear at low to moderate speeds. QR code that comes with the model specific pads and hooks did not link to the specific instructions I needed for installation but e-trailer rep provided me with them via email and then it was no problem. I chose a Thule Force 3 medium. There is plenty of room to accommodate that box without really hanging over the windshield and it clears the antenna pretty well. Plenty of room to open the liftgate with extra clearance. There is also clearance underneath the crossbars to either tilt or fully open the sunroof. Would have given five stars if the rent a rack website loaded the vehicle specific instructions with specifications as it should have.

Perfect!



by:

Package arrived two days earlier than expected.
Installation was easy. Little to no wind noise .
All's good



by:

These work great for their intended purpose. However, I am having a number of issues with my doors sealing properly. Now, if it rains, water leaks in around one or all if them depending on the wind and rain. Would definitely give a 5 stars if this was resolved or of there is an alternate solution.



by:

Product is as described and relatively easy to install. Make sure you check the instructions in the package for proper measurements as described in the video on line. It looks great on our 2016 CRV and will provide much needed storage options!!



by:

Rails look nice. We will see how they hold up over time. Installation docs are terrible and confusing (and I am a mechanic). Be aware that the front bar is longer than the rear on a 2016 honda crv. Etrailer customer support was responsive and referred me to rhino support phone number. They were very helpful and got me straightened out.



by:

I ordered the Rhino rack for the Honda CRV and it fit my car perfectly. It was easy to install and to remove for the winter and was great for carrying our kayaks to and from the water.



by:

It took me almost a year to install it on my Honda CR-V. Up to this point I have not used it, but I feel it will work well when I do.



by:

Good instructions & the length fits well for my vehicle as described. The video on etrailer’s website was very helpful b/c I learn by watching. Very satisfied!



by:

An excellent product. Since I installed it a year ago, I haven't had to touch or adjust anything. Works really well and there are no leaks even in the heaviest rain and wind. Just follow the instructions video, it's fairly simple, measure precisely and there will be no problems.

Really happy to hear that! I know some folks sometimes are concerned about leaking in their cars just because of how these install so I think your words will help quiet some fears. :) Thank you so much!



by:

Not too hard to install, did take some figuring. Seems to be one error in the instructions for Honda crv rear bar foot plate direction. Solid rack.



by:

These crossbars a sleek sturdy and well worth the money. I highly recommend them for those, like myself, on a budget.



by:

Just installed this rack on my 2015 CRV with a naked roof and it took a little over an hour. Simple instructions and assembly but be sure that your feet are in the exact spot recommended. After initial install, the foot on the front driver's door caused a very minor drip/leak from the door seal during a heavy downpour. Simply moving it 1/16" took care of the leak. Great rack and I hardly notice any noise driving on the highway.



by:

Install was easy. I recommend watching the etrailer installation video a couple of times before starting, if you aren't mechanically inclined. I'm not. Also, if you have someone to help you, then installation will go much faster; otherwise, you spend half of your time walking back and forth around the vehicle. I've already loaded my tandem kayak on the roof rack twice and it's awesome. Was able to secure everything very easily. Highly recommend.



by:

These are the perfect roof rack if you don't have factory rails on your vehicle. They've been installed for almost a year and they have not slipped or moved. This roof rack is clean and easy to install with no wind noise, very happy.

Good morning Amber, first and foremost I would like to thank you for your help and excellent customer service.
You went beyond the standard help to a customer in order to find what he needed and you worked closely with the applications and measurements in order to fit my car.
In this case it was not an easy application for my Cadillac unlike many other local dealers turned me down. Your experience got me the right Rhino Rack for my collectable car.
After installing it, I test drove it with good weight with 3 Surfboards on top on them and they perform excellent, sturdy and solid and no sound at high speed. Love the Racks!

Thanks again for your service Amber
