To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These crossbars are built from hardened steel that can handle up to 220 lbs of gear. The tough steel gives you confidence when loading up kayaks, canoes, or camping gear for long trips. You don’t have to baby it—the bars are coated with an elastomeric layer that protects against corrosion so they hold up through rain and road grime.
Once these bars are installed, they stay put. The complete system includes 2 square crossbars, 4 square bar feet, and a custom fit kit that attaches securely to the fixed mounting points on your roof. That direct mount connection keeps everything stable and balanced when you’re hauling heavy or awkward loads.
When you’re parked at a trailhead or campsite, the lockable leg covers help deter theft of the rack itself. It’s a small but important layer of peace of mind so you can focus on your trip instead of worrying about your setup.
These 50" long square crossbars work with clamp-on accessories and carriers. That means you can use the same bars with kayak cradles, cargo boxes, or bike mounts that wrap around the bars. The simple square shape makes it easy to attach a wide range of gear without special adaptors.
The black elastomeric coating doesn’t just look good—it shields the steel underneath from rust and wear. Whether you use your rack year-round or only for road trips, that finish helps keep it looking sharp and performing like new season after season.

I ordered roof racks for our new to us car. Once I placed the order I decided I wanted longer cross bars. I cancelled the bars on the order but couldn't figure out to add the bars I wanted. I called etrailer and was connected to Ashley. Ashley helped me to get the bars I wanted. She kept in touch, letting me know about shipment, a slight delay in the shipment and when the shipment was expected to arrive. Ashly gave my purchase a personal touch that I really appreciated.
When I first found this product, I was excited because I was able to easily determine if it would fit my car. Then I was able to order the package that would arrive earliest based on what was written on the website.
I will say, the package arrived MUCH later than originally anticipated. I understand that times are tough with the pandemic so I was originally very understanding and patient. George reached out to me to update me on the status of my order. I began to lose patience when George began changing dates and erasing items such as “order is in stock” on a certain date in my order history. It was all very confusing and frustrating.
When I decided to finally call customer service, instead of emailing, I was put on with Bailey B. and she was a life saver. She immediately offered her direct line and told me she would personally keep an eye on this order. She went above and beyond in correspondence and helped rectify the situation. Towards the end of the several weeks, I wasn’t too kind and patient like I was in the beginning, yet she stayed professional and kind! I highly recommend calling to have her help you with your order.
When the box finally arrived, it looked a bit beat up. But I will say, there was no obvious or apparent damage to the parts. So I’m thankful to finally have my order!! The roof rack seems to fit perfectly. I will take my paddle board out tomorrow :)
Pros: adjustability, price, sturdy construction, decent appearance.
Cons: square tubes = wind noise, must remove rubber ends to mount/dismount, be careful not to strip out the hex screws
Overall impression: A good, versatile occasional use rack if you don't want a clamp on.
Perfect fit for my Infiniti G37x. Installation was easy and the custom foot pads aligned perfectly with the roof contours of the Infiniti. Installed two bike racks for hauling my bikes to race events and trailheads and I have 100% confidence in the stability of the base rack. There is some wind noise above 40 mph, but that is to be expected and is certainly not excessive. For the price, this an excellent purchase.
I had to wait for over a month after I ordered my roof rack because it was out of stock. However, once they had my item in stock, it took only a couple of days to be delivered. I’ve wanted a roof rack and kayak hookup for years, but I’ve been turned away because of the ridiculous prices of Yakima and Thule. But I am thankful that I found this website and how there is an affordable alternative when it comes to purchasing roof racks.
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.
I'm very happy with the purchase. I wasn't sure about spending this much money on something that might not work well. After using it, I'd gladly purchase again for a different car.
Fit well on my car, was very solid and secure. Did not do any damage to the paint on my roof.
Installation is pretty easy - be sure to watch the video and follow the instructions for measurements to set bases to. I could see it being a nightmare to install without those measurements.
The kit also comes with a tightening handle that has a built in torque setting. It's not shown in the video, but a good idea to use so you're sure everything is tightened properly.
Fuel economy suffers about 10-15% with the racks on - even empty. I take them off when I don't need them. I marked the bottom surface of the bars with a paint marker so I know where to put the bases when I put them back on. I also painted on the measurements from the door post so it's easier to reinstall.
Also, an item was missing from the box. etrailer customer service was fantastic about getting me a replacement part.
I'm loving the roof rack , and Ashley from customer service was really helpful. Thanks e trailer. The reviews didn't lie.
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.
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.
Great product and GREAT service. These feet fit my INNO B117 square bars and base brackets for a perfect fit on my Mazda 5 wagon. Took about 40 minutes to install the whole rig. Jonathan at etrailer was a huge help, and got these to me in two days.
My order showed up quicker than expected and installed without too much hassle by myself. My only issue is that I expected the adapter parts to level out the mounting feet so that the two cross bars are in line. But nothing like that occurred so the bars sit at an able to each other. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to still work, just not what I expected.
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!
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.
Really solid bars and end caps, not much more to say!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
If you're a Lexus GX460 owner, think the OEM cross bars are wimpy, and don't want to shell out $500-$600 for "aero" style bars, this is for you.
I chose the Inno INXP base over the INTR base because I thought it looked sleeker, and I wanted as much clearance over the shark fin antenna as I could (although both bases clear the antenna, the INXP is taller). The product description is slightly different for the two bases, but both of them are able to slide along the factory flush rails. Choosing between the two is a matter of taste.
A couple of hints for installation:
-I didn't receive an English copy of the installation instructions for the base, but was able to figure it out anyway. You could easily find them online.
-The screws that come with the base aren't needed, use the longer ones that come with the fit kit.
-Loosely attach the fit hooks, clip the base on top, slide the rail through, THEN tighten the screws.
-When putting the fit hooks on the rails before putting the base on top, make sure the screws are backed out as much as physically possible without disconnecting. Even still there is very little play when sliding the rails through before tightening everything down. It would be nice if the screws were even 1/8" longer, but it would only make installation easier. Once everything is tightened down it's as solid as can be.
Overall I'm very happy. I like the more rugged look of the square bars, and shaking them moves the whole vehicle and they don't budge.
Amazing rack. Fits right on my 2015 Camry perfectly. Highly reccomend
Relatively easy to install- first set/bar was easy, second one was a little fussier for some reason. Used these to reuse my older style Thule rectangular bars which worked great. Installed on Mazda CX-5 with corresponding brackets for the factory roof rails.
Works perfect on my 2022 Lexus GX460 with roof rails. I used with the INTR152 feet to attach some Thule square bars. No problem with old Thule roof boxes or Thule Motion boxes. Clears the rear fin antenna no problem
