If you’re hauling a kayak now and then, this rack makes it simple. The Inno Aero Roof Rack for Naked Roofs #IN73BR uses aero-style crossbars that work with standard kayak carriers like the #e98878. You can install it only when you need it and count on solid support when you’re headed to the water. The sturdy aluminum bars handle up to 165 lbs, so you can carry your gear with confidence.
Wind noise can get old fast on long drives. These aero crossbars cut down on that noise with their sleek shape and push-down rubber strips in the top channels. The strips also reduce vibration while sealing the track to keep things smooth at higher speeds. You’ll notice a quieter ride even with the rack left on for long trips.
Getting your accessories mounted shouldn’t be a chore. The top channels use push-down rubber strips that let you press hardware directly into the tracks—no trimming or cutting required. The system installs cleanly on a naked roof, locking into place with custom feet and leg covers that deter theft of the rack. It’s a secure fit that stays put until you’re ready to remove it.
This roof rack gives you flexibility for every kind of adventure. The bars are compatible with most universal cargo, water, snow, and bike carriers, whether they mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars. From kayaks and canoes to cargo boxes and skis, it’s one setup that handles all your favorite gear without needing separate systems.
You can count on its aluminum construction to stand up to years of loading and unloading. The system includes two bars measuring 51" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall, providing plenty of load space without bulk. A limited lifetime warranty backs up the dependable build, giving you long-term value for all your hauling needs.

I did a lot of searching before selecting this rack for my Durango RT (no factory roof rails). It is easy to reinstall once the initial process is followed, I marked my doorjambs with a sharpie and it is easy to set up. Great product!
Product is great. Fits perfectly with some minor measurement adjustments. Can be assembled by one person, but helps to have two. Bought the complete roof kit and well as the Inno 80 basket for a Mazda CX3, took about two hours to assemble everything.
Installation went pretty smoothly. The trick is to fully understand each step before moving to the next. There are a lot of small parts which at first was a little intimidating, but soon I was able to "get with it". I love the finished product and think you helped me get a good deal. Thank you for that
Great racks. High quality parts. Fit perfectly. Went together easily.
Once I realized which bar was the front one and which was the back it was a fairly easy install. Since the measurements for the foot placement were wrong in the instructions I would suggest not tightening the feet all the way to the bars until you put it on the car. It would have been nice if both sets of rubber pads were the same, with the tunnel hook, and if they had adhesive backing to avoid losing them. I added 2 sided tape.
LOVE my roof racks! Installation was fairly straightforward, and I've had no issues since. Definitely recommend them to others looking for reliable roof racks
Has worked great for transporting my fishing Kayak as well as small loads of lumber. It has worked fine for about a dozen and a half boards at a time or a couple of sheets of plywood. Just make sure that you have a good way to strap them down as well as maybe a rubber mat to help hold everything in place. The noise from it on the high way can be a lot but certainly not as bad as some that I have heard. I figure that anything on the outside of a vehicle like that will produce some noise.
These feet are easy to use and go well wit the Inno system. I was worried since my car did not come with any roof racks, but this is the solution to haul things on my roof. They work well and are very secure.
Started assembly last summer and finally completed installation this spring. Directions took a lot of attention to detail but were adequate. Rack went on car securely and looks great. Have attached kayak rack and a roof pod and both worked flawlessly. Would definitely recommend.
Ellen was very knowledgable about the product and helpful in getting the exchange processed. And while the product itself seems to be of excellent quality, I did have to trim the crossbars a bit in order for them to fit precisely enough that the plastic pieces that cover the metal hardware could actually fit properly and be locked on, as they are supposed to be. There is no leeway for a non-perfect fit. It would be easy for me to mount a new set if I had to, but doing it for the first time was very time-consuming. The mechanism is somewhat complicated, and the directions were OK but could have been a little clearer on a couple of the procedures. Try it some time and you'll see what I mean.
I have had countless bike racks over the years and this is by far the best system I have ever had. Fits like a glove on my F150. Easy to install, looks great and the bikes do not move when on the roof.
These are made perfectly for your vehicle. They are very secure when combined with the other Inno products. No worries of the rack system coming off. Using them to transport kayaks using kayak holders.
Tule and Yakima did not have a rack for my Nissan murano. So it was a blessing to find the immo rack. It seems like it can fit any car model. It's strong and secure. I feel my equipment will be safe with this 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.
etrailer was the only vendor who had the custom fit roof rack feet I needed for my vehicle. I was trying to put a roof rack onto a Dodge Durango SRT...not a typical vehicle for this accessory! I looked everywhere for a suitable roof rack and thought I was settling by ordering the Inno kit from etrailer. I could not have been more wrong! I am so happy with the purchase!
Awesome roof rack, it fits great on my 2018 chevy cruze. It took awhile to arrive, but I’m very please with it.
Waste of money. Most annoying couple hours spent in a long time. Extremely disappointed. Does not fit well. Not exactly a cheap option, but a cheap option in terms of fit and engineering. The instructions online and in the kits do not agree. Plus there are no universal set of instructions--they are all individual items for the fit kit, the bars, etc. And the engineering design is garbage--requires precise measurement yet the design is such that exact measurement is impossible due to the design.
Additionally, the parts are low quality Either low density plastic or easily stripped bolts. Even when as precise as possible, I wouldn't trust it with my kayak. What a mistake. Do yourself a favor and get a Yakima trailer or similar. It isn't that much more money in the scheme of things and then it isn't tied to your car. Can add a hitch to most vehicles anyway.
Installed this roof rack on my 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan and took it for an inaugural trip with my Ascend D10 Kayak to the Estero River. It worked perfectly, and was so much easier to load and tie down than using my wife's Traverse! After that I took it across Florida to Port Saint Lucie. No issues traveling at (or above) speed.
Inno's Tech writers do need to update the instructions because the width measurements were not accurate using either instruction provided. One shows measure from center to locking screw and the other shows measuring to interior of part. This also did not align with the part numbers on the measuring tape they provided which also not correct.
I started with the mounting points on the front of the vehicle and then used the 700mm gap from front to back to place the rear rack. I then centered both bars to fit the actual width of the vehicle.
I highly recommend this product and etrailer.com!
Installation was a little tricky but once the "feet" were attached to the roof and the bars properly spaced, everything wrapped up very well.
There is no noticeable wind noise with these installed.
I bought these as part of a kit with 60" Aero bars and the appropriate kit for my 14 Flex. I spent probably an hour and a half double checking my measurements and getting them torqued down properly. I spaced the bars on top of the car just a little wider than proscribed because I was planning on carrying 4x8 plywood, and it looked better to my eye. One thing to watch for: The instructions for the car-specific kit (in my case INK263) show the foot spacing measurements for a square bar, and the measuring point for these feet and Aero bars is different. That measurement point is indicated in the instructions for the feet, not the kit. Same numbers, just different reference point. Otherwise, they look good and are rock solid.
We recently purchased 2 kayaks & Thule roof racks from our local outdoor store.
After waiting 2 weeks for our roof racks and J bars to come in we found that the Thule racks did not fit our 2017 Lincoln MKX and they didn't make any racks that would. The vehicle does not have roof racks and has a moon roof.
After a couple of days searching the internet we discovered etrailer.com. We found the Inno roof racks, but still was not sure they would work. We spoke to a repesenative and he assured us that the racks we chose would fit and the Thule J bars we did return would also work. As you can see by the photos 2 days later we were happy Kayakers.
Love my new rack used it for the first time yesterday and no road noice!! The reason I picked this particular rack. Easy to get my paddle board up on it by myself! Love the look too, and super fast shipping!
I've been a happy etrailer customer for years. Sales staff helped me pick out the right roof rack setup for my new 2023 Escape that worked with my low-profile rails. 3 separate boxes of pieces but they all came together perfectly. Very happy with my purchase and etrailer customer support! Rack is solid, low wind noise and will work with the accessories I need, kayak carrier and cargo basket.
The Inno roof rack is an excellent product and etrailer.com provides exceptional service with videos, email, chat and phone. I bought this roof rack for my 2008 Ford Edge because because there is enough clearance for the moon roof. I use it to mount a 600W solar system for rustic camping instead of a noisy generator. I wish I'd taken a photo... I won't be mounting it again until mid-August 2024.
Worked like a charm. My daughter and I completed a 10K mile, 35 day camping trip around the USA.
