• Roof Rack For 2020 Chevy Equinox With Naked Roof
  We do have a roof rack system that will fit your 2020 Chevy Equinox beautifully, even without it having any rails or other mounting spots. Your Equinox has what is referred to as a naked roof, and there is one option I really like for your Equinox, which is from Rhino-Rack. The parts that make up the rack and fit your car are the following: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 - Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA - Custom DK Fit Kit # DK488 The reason I like the Rhino-Rack...

• Best Roof Rack For 2020 Ford Edge With Glass Vista Roof and Flush Mount Rails
  For the 2020 Ford Edge With Glass Vista Roof and Flush Mount Rails I recommend the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA126B-2, and # RRSX024. The aerodynamic shape of the crossbars along with the Vortex strips in the C-channels significantly cut down on wind noise. The roof rack is compatible with the glass vista roof on the Edge but I do not recommend opening the sunroof while carrying cargo on the roof rack to avoid damage. Even when you are not carrying cargo and open the sun roof with...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Compatible with 2016 Volvo XC90 Spoiler
  On your 2016 Volvo XC90 if you have a roof rack you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Trunk Bike Rack # HRF2 or # HRF2-3. I confirmed this with the manufacturer. We don't list the fit in our guide because it requires the rails for a fit. If you don't have a roof side rails then you will need to add a roof rack to your flush mounted rails to use that rack. The # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX040 are my recommendation. If you have the raised factory side rails then you don't need to add...

• Troubleshooting Plastic Endcaps That Won't Stay In Place On Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars
  Regarding the endcaps popping out on your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - 49" # RRVA126B-2, this is not a common occurrence and I have not heard of this happening before. Make sure the rubber strip, or anything else for that matter, is not getting caught between the crossbar and endcap. Then make sure you are fully pushing the plastic endcaps into place and locking them all the way with the included key. If you are still having issues then let me know and we can dig deeper into the issues...

• What are the Differences Between Roof Bag on Naked Roof and Roof Rack Mounted Bag?
  Apart from how the rooftop bags mount there is little difference between the cargo bags that go on the naked roof of your 2013 Kia Soul or one that attaches to a roof rack. To avoid having to put a pricey roof rack on your Soul, I strongly recommend going with a bag that mounts to your naked roof such as the Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20. This bag is waterproof, has 15 cubic feet of storage and is 44" long x 36" wide x 19" tall. You can mount the Rightline by running...

• Roof Rack Fit for 2013 Volkswagen Touareg With Roof Rails and Sun Roof
  There is definitely a solution for you, though it could be that you have a sun roof and not a moon roof. This matters in terms of fit, because a moon roof slides into a cavity in the roof and does not extend above it, while a sun roof generally does extend above it. Due to this, the rack you mentioned, Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, would not work for your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg because the rack should not be used with vehicles that have a sun roof. Additionally, each of the Yakima...

• Is There a Roof Rack For 2019 Toyota RAV4 With Flush Side Rails
  Hi Ben, Since your 2019 Toyota RAV4 doesn't have the raised side rails, it should have flush-mounted rails, and I have added a photo below that a customer was nice enough to send in which shows a flush side rail and what your RAV4 should have.

• Recommended Roof Rack For A 2018 Chevy Equinox Hauling A Kayak And Bike
  Hey William, If your 2018 Chevy Equinox has rails that run from front to back then I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and TimberLine Towers # Y33TR.

• Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes GL 450
  You are on the right track. You will need a set of crossbars mounted to the raised side rails of your 2016 Mercedes Benz GL 450 to carry a cargo box. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100 is what I recommend. This rack gives you crossbars that are aero shaped to minimize wind noise and is very easy to install so I recommend it highly. I attached an install video for the rack on a similar SUV for you to check out too. With this rack installed you'd be...

• Best Way To Carry Cargo on a 2016 Honda Odyssey
  I would love to help but none of the roof bags for a bare roof will work with a sliding rear door. Therefore, the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag part # RL100S30 will not fit your 2016 Honda Odyssey unless you first install a roof rack like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which consists of part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRQMVA10, part # RRRTV168, and part # RRRLT600. The next best option which is also more cost effective would be to install a trailer hitch like the etrailer.com...

• Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  I will be happy to walk you through what you will need to add a roof rack and kayak carrier to 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the budget you mentioned. You said there are places to install a rack system, but I am unsure if that meant your '18 Outlander Sport had a naked roof (meaning no rails of any kind on the roof already) or a roof with factory flush-mounted rails that run front to back so I'll give you options for both. Rhino Rack is a high-quality roof rack manufacturer and they...

  Yes. The Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2012 Nissan Rogue that uses the parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK146 is compatible with your 2012 Nissan Rogue with a naked roof.

• Roof Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Honda Odyssey EX-L with Moon Roof
  Foam block carriers such as Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier - Foam Block Style Item # MPG152 are designed as a temporary, short-distance solution to carry a kayak. On a van that has sliding side doors they wouldn't work because on a naked roof it would require running straps through the interior of the vehicle. You would instead need a roof rack for your van. I can make some recommendations if you can tell me the year, make, and model of the van.

• Recommended Roof Rack Compatible With Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier on 2018 Honda HR-V
  For your 2018 Honda HR-V to be compatible with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898, you have to use slightly longer crossbars. The Hullavator requires 4-8 inches overhang to give clearance. In order to give you the clearance without giving you too much bar length, I recommend the following system: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA Custom DK Fit Kit # DK454 Metal lock cores...

  There is a solution for you, but the issue with the BoatLoader EVO the crossbar spread as well as its 80 lb weight capacity, which is less than your 87 lb fishing kayak.

• Can Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Carry a Roofnest Sparrow Adventure XL Tent
  The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long # RRVA126B-2 have a capacity of 165-lbs, which is the highest available for your 2021 Toyota RAV4, so you will be limited to that weight when loading items on the roof rack. Since your Sparrow Adventure XL tent weighs 150-lbs alone, you'll eat up most of the capacity with that. You will always be limited to the lowest rated component in your setup and in this case it appears that the roof of the RAV4 is only rated for...

  For your 2018 Audi Q5 with a sunroof the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX030 is a confirmed fit and would work well. It is not recommended by any of our roof rack manufacturers to open the sunroof with a rack installed. Even if you could you'd find the wind noise created by the bars to be loud enough you'd want to close the roof almost immediately.

  For your 2012 Audi Q5 with flush rails that run front to back the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX030 is the best option. It's a higher quality roof rack at a better price than the more expensive options so it's a no-brainer in my opinion. It's also aero shaped so it's quieter and better on fuel mileage. Thule Compass part # TH890000 would be a great choice for a kayak carrier to carry two kayaks.
