These 50" long crossbars are made of heavy-duty aluminum, giving you a solid foundation for carrying serious gear. With a 220-lb weight capacity, they’re ideal for hauling kayaks, cargo boxes, or contractor equipment. The square bar design provides sturdy support while the black finish keeps things looking sharp.
The top channels include rubber strips that help cushion your load and prevent it from slipping around when the road gets rough. These strips also fill in the channel to reduce drag, keeping your setup stable and tidy for every trip.
Each bar has top channels sized at 1-3/8" wide x 5/8" tall with a 13/16" opening, ready to take on Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories. You can easily mount ladder rollers, load stops, or eyebolts—everything clicks into place through the top channel system for secure attachment without extra fuss.
The included RLTP legs and RT tracks create a tight, custom installation on your roof’s tracks. Lockable cover plates keep the rack secured so you can leave it in place with confidence. With limited lifetime coverage on the crossbars and 5-year warranties on both the legs and tracks, this setup is designed to last through years of hauling adventures.

Fast service and was everything I expec ted
Strong, good appearance and functional.
Found Package was broken after delivered, and missing 2 end cap
Liked that the website does all the thinking for me. Too busy.
Desi was awesome in helping us build the perfect mount for our roof top tent set up.
Noisy
Excellent
These are as advertised. Once the leg kit is in place, super simple to install. Great finish, I believe will give great service. The only test to be determined is if they "Howl" in the wind. If so, I believe a second set of rubber fillers, installed in the underside will solve the problem. Another modification expense. Thanx.
Customer Service was awesome....and super fast.
Things went well. Customer service was great.
The rivets are way too small and they popped out from the roof top leaving holes on the roof of my van. Totally dissatisfied and angry.
Perfect product for my aero bars and great customer service getting it to me ASAP before a big trip -
Wish they had a kayak rack to mount to areo bars
Needed to lower my heavy duty Rhino Rack Did the job quickly and easily . Would have given 5 stars but seams a little less solid than original feet .
I don't use it as often as I would like but after a year it is still attached and works as intended. The rubber strips to reduce noise came partially loose, but with some fiddling they seem to be hanging in there now. For my vehicle at least, I used a professional (local auto shop) to install as I was not going to take a drill to my car.
Installation was easy and I haven't had any issues. I had originally ordered a wrong part, but the person I spoke with at etrailer made it very easy to correct this and get the parts I needed. The next time I need something from my truck, I'll be checking here first.
The entire rack system (tracks, feet, aero crossbars, ladder straps, and load stops) installed and worked great for the intended use. Also, the service from etrailer was excellent.
The only drawback to this system is the necessity of purchasing a pneumatic rivet gun ($40) for mounting the tracks, but hey, it's a custom rack and i ended up with a cool tool.
Thanks.
Product itself is fantastic, I strongly recommend.
I have had these on for more than a year. Most common use case is carrying a 60lb, 16' long canoe.
I installed with rivets into the roof sheet metal. No issues at all with any rivets coming loose, and zero leakage. I use it with a Yakima crossbars with the quick release mounts. The feet are bolted to the tracks. The crossbars just click into the feet. They take literally less than a minute to attach or remove. I've had a few roof rack systems and this is by far the best.
I used the etrailer videos for the installation and they were more than enough. The riveting was nerve-wracking on the first one, but actually very simple. I suggest really taking your time to assure parallel. This can be tricky depending on your roofline. I marked a centerline down my roof and set the tracks based on that.
The only downside I have run into is not at all a fault in the tracks. Because they rivet into the roof sheet metal, it's susceptible to a bit of flex. I see this under the front of the tracks when I crank down on the bowline of the boat. That's a very large lever pulling down on the rack into the roof sheet metal. No lasting issues, I can just see the metal move.
Another small thing to note is that if your roof is curved where the front or real of the rail lands, the plastic end cap might have a small gap under it. It's not itself held down to the roof, it just slots into the track. I have a small gap on mine and it's not a functional issue at all.
love it, no problem and easy to install and take on and off, 47,000 miles on the highway and not a single issue. I even like the song the ladder hums to me driving down the interstate. This is my second Rhino and both have preformed to a high standard.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Thanks to etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
