When you’re hauling kayaks, camping gear, or a loaded cargo box, you want bars that won’t flex or rust. These square crossbars are made from hardened steel and finished with an elastomeric coating that protects against corrosion. They hold up under tough conditions and give you a solid base for your gear on every trip.
Once your rack is set up, you can lock it in place and not worry about it while you’re out exploring. The lockable leg covers deter theft of the rack itself, so your setup stays where you left it. It’s a simple way to protect your investment when you’re parked overnight or stopping for food along the way.
These crossbars are built to mount directly to raised rails using a custom-fit system that holds tight without extra fuss. Everything lines up cleanly on installation so you get a stable platform without damaging your rails. Once installed, they stay put and keep your load steady mile after mile.
If you already have clamp-on accessories or carriers, these bars are ready to go. The square bar shape works with most clamp-style mounts, so you can easily attach kayak carriers, bike racks, or cargo baskets without any special adapters. It’s a straightforward way to make use of the gear you already own.
Each bar measures 50" long x 1-1/4" wide x 7/8" tall and supports up to 220 lbs when evenly distributed. That means plenty of space and strength for all kinds of outdoor gear—perfect for road trips, camping weekends, or a day on the water.
Ratings & Reviews
Installation is easy. Just follow directions. Front bar parts are different than rear bar parts so you need to look at part numbers and use in correct location. Rack is only rated for 100 pounds but looks and feels much stronger than rating. As noted square bars do create lot of wind noise when driving. Purchase this product to carry my Canoe and it does that at almost $200 less than other rack systems on market. For me the square bars are better fit with ratchet straps to hold Canoe down. Hard to find ratchet strap with hook to fit areo bars.
Dislike. No way to level square bars. With car on level ground high point to high point on bars is level. But each bar is off by 1/8" front to back. Wish they were round bars.
Product is great, pretty easy to install. Customer service was also great
I'm loving the roof rack , and Ashley from customer service was really helpful. Thanks e trailer. The reviews didn't lie.
These feet allow me to keep using my older Thule load bars on my 2024 Honda Odyssey. They saved me from the expense of having to buy a whole new system. Glad I found them.
Hi, awesome roof rack, I took me a while to find it. Like the design and so far so good, still looks like new
Great product. Easy to install. This is one of three parts needed for a complete roof rack installation. Here is a photo of the finished installation on my 2015 Acura TLX sedan.
We needed a set of crossbars for our vehicle and read many reviews of other brands before finding this product. We like the bars and the installation of them. We needed something trustworthy to accomodate our rooftop tent and this fit our needs. We experienced excellent customer service!
Fast delivery and great communication about tracking. Easy to follow instructions. Great fit and looks. Thank you.
Great cross bars to replace the rusty original cross bars this vintage Thule rack. Classic cars require these old style racks and many are 30+ years old and great to be able to give new life to an old rack system.
I followed directions and the rack went on without a hitch. The measuring tape provided was a bit confusing but my tape measure did just fine. It pays to watch for any movement of the stays as you tighten them. It fit perfectly. I was impressed with the quality of the unit. The torque wrench provided was a nice bonus. I attached a boat rack for my rowing shell and I’m confident it will be safe all the way to the water.
First and foremost… YES! I would recommend this product to anyone, so def. read further. Price wise… well below what the more known name brands wanted for a similar setup. Product is well made , but if I had to point out one defect… the rubber shoe the rests between the factory roof bar and the inno feet detaches easily during install (see photo). I will figure out how to securely attatch it when I remove it, because (IMO) it's not one of those units that remains on perminantly.
Got it for a 2006 Toyota Prius. Overall a great purchase. It was sturdy and never had any major issues. I would 100% recommend getting the locks.
I almost gave it 4 stars for one reason. If you put it on as the instructions tell you to, it whistles really loud. It just takes a bunch of small iterations and quick drives down the street to find out if it stopped making noise. Other than that, great purchase.
Just installed the etrailer inno square load bars on my 4Runner. I also purchased the Round/square Crossbar Fit Kit .
Looks great and mounted easily to my Prinsu Rack.
The roof racks have been great. I've used them with j-hooks and rear loading slider type pads. They are easy to install/remove. In the picture is my 17ft long sea kayak that stayed secure and safe on a 6 hour journey in high winds using the racks.
This product exceeded my expectations. I purchased these with the INNO square crossbars and they fit my 2014 Explorer perfect!! Extremely easy to install took about 15 minutes. Very sturdy- I will be hauling my two paddle boards and have no doubt they will travel well! I highly recommend this product.
Great product. Took a few minutes to understand the connection. Very happy
So far so good! Was fairly easy to install. I will say the straps that came with it are not quite long enough for my kayak’s. Not an issue for me though. Overall I am definitely satisfied and would recommend for anyone that needs a rack for kayaks.
For a roof with no mounts, this is a perfect choice!
The fitment selected for me by etrailer.com for my 2012 Ford Escape was perfect. The Inno Rack System is easy to install (made easier by the use of etrailer.com's instruction video links).
I chose the square bar fitment because I prefer the look over the various "aerodynamic designs", while I prefer the look over others, a wind fairing will prove to eliminate the very hint of sound that does emanate into the cabin.
If you are looking for a Clamp mounted system that requires zero modification/easily removabl this is the system for you.
I’ve had this roof rack system for about a year now and it has worked consistently well for the entire 12 months and I believe will continue to work well for me for the for seeable future. I gave it four stars initially and four stars now because I do think the fit and finish of the system could be better. That’s not a dealbreaker for its function because it’s excellent in doing the work it’s designed to do but it just isn’t the prettiest.
Great rack, buy it... it will work hard for you.
Picture provided features Curt basket with Rino Bedliner treatment.
Ordered a full (naked) roof rack package with snowboard/ski attachment. Items arrived as described. Set-up was simple and flawless. Instructions are fairly clear & simple. A paper tape measure is included. No issues with fitment.Purchased the fairing to reduce wind noise and it works perfect! No excessive wind noise whatsoever -- can open sunroof comfortably if I wanted to. Have not yet put my snowboards inthe attachment yet, but do not foresee any issues. Roof rack is on a 2015 Infiniti Q40 (G37 sedan 2009-2015).
Good replacement for Thule model. Original design only clamps onto the rails. This design wraps around the rail for a more secure attachment.
This is a rock solid rack. It's square, so the curvature of the roof makes the flat surfaces of the bars not quite line up. This is really on me and my choosing this rack, not the rack. Easy to put together and seems good quality. Highly recommend for anyone with a flat roof. The Goodboy kayak rack needed a stable platform and this will work nicely, probably for years to come. Etrailer was amazing to deal with and I would definitely order from them again.
System looks good provided you are not looking to load up to claimed 220 lb limit. Inno has stated in writing weight limit for this system is 140 lb (versus etrailer-listed 220 lb). I have Subaru Outback wilderness with OEM-specified dynamic roof load limit of 220 lb.
OMG this is amazing! I have an old 90's Thule square bar that has followed me through 1 Honda Civic Hatchback and 2 Toyota Matrix cars. It has an Outrigger that slides in for extending and loading my kayak and the new Thule bars have something that sticks up into the bar preventing me from using the Outrigger. I have contacted Thule and searched for a while to find feet that will hook onto my new Subaru raised rails and allow me to keep my old bar. Voila! These fit the bar and with a vise and a rubber mallet I was easily able to get the old foot contraptions off the bar. (The cap is removable.) So so happy! The straps on these Inno Feet are adjustable and have 2 positions so it will be easy for my old, short, weak self to get them on and off the car. Can't show the end result as my Subaru is in the shop but here's a pic of the bar sans old foot. Can't recommend enough.

Glad we could help! It's always nice to be able to use stuff you already have and these Inno feet are pretty popular with people that have older Thule square bars for that reason. What kind of kayak do you have? I did a little of that in my youth.
Do you have a question about this Roof Rack?

One year later and very happy with these rail clamps. Secure and easy to use on different vehicle rails.
