These 57" long crossbars give you dependable space for hauling your favorite gear—whether that’s kayaks, a canoe, or a cargo box. Built from aluminum, they deliver solid strength without unnecessary weight. The system supports up to 165 lbs, giving you the confidence to load up for long hauls, road trips, and weekends at the lake.
Highway wind noise can get old fast. These aero-style bars are shaped to cut through the air cleanly, while the push-down rubber strips fill the top channels to reduce vibration and whistling. You’ll notice a quieter ride even when the roof is fully loaded with gear.
The rack is built for versatility. The top channels accept hardware that presses directly into place—no trimming required—and the bars also work with clamp-on accessories. That means you can switch between your kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or bike mounts using whatever attachment style your gear already uses.
Whether you’re parked at a trailhead or stopping overnight on a long trip, lockable leg covers help keep your rack secure. They deter theft of the entire rack system, so your setup stays put until you’re ready to roll again.
This setup includes two aero crossbars, four through feet, and a custom fit kit for securing everything to a naked roof. Each part is designed to work together for a clean fit that looks good and performs well on every adventure.

Hello, neighbor. This is Curt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Inno Aero Roof Rack on our 2024 Ford Edge. Now, if you've decided to go ahead and purchase this roof rack, go ahead and share your experience in the comments below. We'd love to hear your story and share with our other neighbors so they can make the best decision for themselves. So if you've been looking for a roof rack to help with all of that extra luggage or equipment that you're bringing on your trip, maybe it's stuff that you can't fit in the car or just don't want to fit in the car with you, a roof rack is an excellent way to carry those things.
It keeps things up and out of the way, unlike a hitch carrier, which you really have to be mindful of as far as backing in and out of spaces. You do have to mind roof clearance on this, but for most people, getting things up here on the roof and outta the way is the option that they tend to choose. So this roof rack system actually has a 165-pound weight capacity, but I do wanna make sure that you understand that you still wanna double check your owner's manual. Make sure what the vehicle's roof capacity is isn't less than what the crossbars are. If they are, then that is gonna end up being your roof capacity.
But Inno does a couple of things really, really well. This is an aero bar, which means that it's gonna have kind of an elliptical shape here. It's gonna be more of a blade in the back and more blunt and rounded in the front. What that's gonna really help you out with is reducing road noise as you're driving down the highway. Square bars and round bars do tend to offer a lotta wind resistance and therefore create a lot of noise.
These are gonna be much, much quieter for you. So you can use your clamp-mounted accessories on this, but having aero bars also gives you the ability to use track-mounted accessories, which you can access through the end cap and just pushing down this rubber strip here and sliding your accessories over. Another thing that I really, really like about Inno, other than the fact that they're very easy to install compared to other roof racks, is the fact that Inno creates a lot of value by providing your own metal key cores and keys so that you can lock and secure your roof rack up to your roof. So why don't we go up on the roof and just take a look at exactly how these are fitting on our 2024 Ford Edge. Now, from up here on the roof, we're just gonna take a few measurements and see where we're at.
As far as our crossbar spread, being that this is a naked roof, there are very specific points that Inno ask you to place your bars, which we're gonna cover in our installation shortly, but to get the crossbar spread that it's going to provide us, we're looking right at a little under 28 1/2 inches, and for me, that's perfect. Most rooftop accessories ask for a crossbar spread of anywhere between 26 and 32 inches. So usually if you're inside of that range, just about anything that you wanna put up on your crossbars is gonna fit just fine. The other things we want to take a look at is just how much height this is gonna add to your vehicle. So the crossbars come to 4 1/2 inches above your roof here, and from underneath, you're gonna get a clearance of about 3 3/8. Now, that's gonna be plenty enough underneath here to clear this antenna that's back toward the back. So what that tells me is that because we're kind of loading anything up up above these crossbars, even if it's a bigger box that comes back further, we might have to be mindful of lift gate clearance for that, but this antenna, the shark fin antenna that we have in the back, there's not gonna be any interference with that at all. So this is an overhanging roof rack, which means that the crossbars are gonna come out past the towers. Now, while that actually provides us with more room to put accessories up here, even a single clamp outside of this tower, it can be a concern for people as far as getting in and out of the vehicle and hitting their head. Well, while it does come past the door threshold up here at the top, it doesn't down here at the bottom. So anybody getting in and outta the car, as long as their legs are clearing out, they really shouldn't have any issues with hitting their head on this as they're entering and exiting the vehicle. And just a final thought about it is, you know, one of the things that people notice a lot about these crossbars is this chrome trim on the edge here. While it's not for everybody, I think it fits the Edge really, really well. Because of this subtle chrome trim that it puts around our windows, I think it matches up nicely. So now that we've taken a look at what it can do and how it fits on our Ford Edge, let's go ahead and take a look at exactly how we got these up on our roof. Now, as we begin our installation process, we're just gonna kind of lay everything out here for you. So what we've got is our foot pad. We've got an attachment that's gonna go into our crossbar. We've got our tower itself along with the cover, and we've got our hook claw here that's gonna attach to the vehicle. So the first thing that we want to do is prep our bar, and the way that we're going to do that is by removing our end cap first. Once that end cap gets removed, we're gonna go ahead and slide this all the way out till we expose this tray here, and then once we do that, we're gonna take this piece with the metal side facing up and the bolt hole facing inwards on the bar. We're gonna insert that right underneath here, and then we're gonna slide this back all the way till it stops. Once it stops, we're gonna depress this tab right here and we're gonna slide it all the way in until it hits that tab. At this point, we can replace our end cap. And that's how our crossbar is going to get prepped. We're gonna continue on with our tower, and underneath our tower here, we're gonna see kinda this place. There's gonna be a couple of Phillips head screws going in here. We're gonna take our rubber foot pad here. Now, there are gonna be two different numbers in your kit for the foot pad. The numbers 425 are gonna go on your front crossbar, and the number 411 is gonna go on your rear crossbar. That'll be indicated in the instructions for you as well, and in order to put these on, you'll see these impressions here that'll go over those Phillips head screws. So we're just gonna pop it in those two tabs right there, and we're just gonna push it in until it's tight. Okay, so once our pad's on, we're gonna notice that there are these tabs here and this bolt coming outta the top of our tower. They're gonna line up with this hole, this hole, and then the bolt to this hole here. So we're gonna go ahead and turn over our tower and get this into place. Okay, now once this is in place, it's not gonna allow us to slide it out to the edge like we want to. What we'll have to do is lift the, oops, lift this tab back. That's gonna take pressure off of the top of the tower on the bar, and we'll be able to slide this over and into place. Once we have that in place, go ahead and check your instructions. It is gonna give you a measurement from the center marker on the crossbar to this tab here next to this bolt underneath on your towers. Now, for the back set of bars, it gave us a measurement of 22 inches. On the front set, it's giving us a measurement of 22 5/8. So we're gonna go ahead and get that measured out right now. All right, once we have that in place, we're ready to go ahead and put it up on the vehicle. What we wanna make sure of is that the wider part of the crossbar is facing the front of the vehicle and the blade part of the crossbar is facing the rear. So we're gonna go ahead and get this up on our car right now. Now, there is a specific placement for your front bar. Once we get it up here, we're gonna make an adjustment and get it into that spot, but the way that it is measured is gonna be from this door seam right here. Now, the measurement that we're going to be looking for from this door seam is going to be 8 3/4 inches to the center of this bolt. The back crossbars that we already put on, that measurement from here was 19 inches, and we're gonna go ahead and get that 8 3/4 inches measured out and get our bolt lined up. Okay, there it is. Now I'm gonna take the exact same measurement on the other side. This is gonna guarantee that our bars end up parallel and perpendicular to the vehicle itself. So now that we've got everything placed correctly on both sides, we're gonna go ahead and install our claws here so that it'll grab onto the vehicle itself. So I'm gonna remove this bolt. I'm gonna put it in again just like this. I'm gonna make sure that this part is covering up that section of the tower, and I'm just gonna kinda hold it in place and then I'm gonna hand tighten it down until it's just a little bit snug. So we've got everything snug. Everything is staying in place the way that we want it to. The next thing that we're gonna do is we're gonna take our torquing tool here, and we're just gonna go ahead, and what I'd like to do is kinda incrementally tighten down the passenger to the driver's side. So I don't want to tighten down completely over here. It may kinda put the other side out of position. So I'm gonna give it, you know, two or three good turns over here. Repeat the process on the other side so that everything gets tightened down evenly. Now, this is a torquing tool. So once we get it kinda incrementally tightened down, (tool popping) eventually we're gonna hear a pop like that, and what that means is that these are torqued down exactly as Inno expects. It's gonna give us a really good secure hold. Our bar's not sliding. Our towers aren't moving anywhere. Everything is really nice and secure. And the final part of our installation is going to be putting on our tower caps here. So those will hook in down there. Get 'em right up in place. Lock 'em in, and that's that. The installation of the Inno crossbars is actually very, very simple compared to other brands and look really, really nice on your Ford Edge. I'm Curt with etrailer. Thanks for stopping by.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
worked as expected, I used them to carry my hobie outback kayak (about 100lbs) on my Honda Civic 2016 Coupe (2 doors). They worked with no problem so far (1 year) even under high speed like 70mph.
This kit does not fit well. All measurements have been double and triple checked down to the millimeter. The lock on the covers interfere with the hooks. You have to apply so much pressure to get it to close that it makes the rack come loose. Not very satisfied
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!
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
We have put these crossbars to work on several road trips and we are very happy with them..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
By far the best service I have received in a very long time. I recieved my inno flush feet areo crossbars, sooner than expected and the assembly was just as specified. I especially liked having the video with the tutorial.
I like the look of the low profile and the quality is outstanding. I have used this for my kayak and the low profile helps with the loading and unloading.
I would highly recommend this product and Company.
Needed to purchase some longer bars for my system. This product fit the bill, was more affordable than other options, and the team at e trailer will always be there to help should I ever need assistance. This was for my wife's Ford Edge c ok company car. Now she has a Traverse so we will be purchasing new feet, but can still use the bars. I'd reccomend them for any need you have in the categories they offer. I'm a 4 time customer and will use them for all my rack related purchases.
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!
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. But there is no helping the design. Plus there are no universal set of instructions--they are all individual items for the fit kit, the bars, etc. But a reasonably inclined person can figure it out so no big deal, but 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.
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.
This rack fit my 2024 Ford Maverick perfectly, although etrailer said it wouldn’t fit. I checked the fit guide on the Inno website, this was confirmed as an option for my truck. Installation went well, fit is perfect, really like the Inno products. Highly recommended. Unable to download photos, bummer.
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.
