Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack Main

The low-profile, aerodynamic Rhino-Rack RVP roof rack lets you carry gear and accessories on your vehicle's roof quietly and with little wind drag. It's designed for installation on a vehicle with fixed mounting points (or flush side rails with internal fixed mounting points). The rack's Vortex Aero crossbars have built-in rubber strips that disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bars are constructed of aluminum so they won't rust. These bars blend seamlessly with the support legs to provide a from-the-factory look, and they are custom cut to your specific vehicle so they require no adjustment during installation. The legs also include built-in locks that protect your gear and the rack from theft.


Aerodynamic Design

Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack Design

The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of each crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbars cut through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.


Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack Closer

The RVP roof rack has a flush-mount design so the crossbars terminate at the legs with no overhang. This provides the rack with a seamless, from-the-factory look.


Strong, Durable Construction

Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack Construction

The Vortex Aero crossbars are made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with H-shaped internal extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them on your roof year-round.


Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack Bar Close

The rack's durable, glass-reinforced nylon legs are designed to stand up to cargo loads and weather extremes. They're also UV treated to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight.


Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories

Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack Channel and Clamp Accessory

Each crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channels come in pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channels capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.


You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bars, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on them.


Built-In Security

Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack Security

Locking covers on each support leg let you secure accessories mounted in the crossbar top channels. These sturdy nylon covers give the rack a finished look and also help secure the rack to your roof. The cover locks are keyed alike, so a single key opens all locks.

  • Hauling Lumber On My Rhino Rack Roof Rack
    If you have the Rhino Rack RVP # RR98TB roof rack on your 2017 Kia Sorento then you will have 220lbs of capacity with the bars. Make sure your roof of the Kia can handle that weight as well. You can find this in your vehicle's owners manual. As far as strapping them down, I would use plenty of straps # ETBMB-05852 to make sure that you're not leaving any wiggle room for the wood to slide around whenever you hit bumps and such on the road.

  • Troubleshooting Bar Heights Be Wrong for Rhino Rack RVP Roof Rack for 2016 Kia Sorento
    I checked your order notes and found that you ordered the Rhino Rack RVP87 part # RR98TB for your 2016 Kia Sorento. Since you said the height difference seems extreme what most likely happened is you installed the feet of the rack in the wrong position. This roof rack kit comes with feet that are 65 mm high and 45 mm high to compensate for the height difference on the roof of your vehicle. So what you'd want to try is reversing where you have the feet of the rack installed and that should...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier For 2 Person Kayak On 2019 Kia Sorento
    I suggest the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points with Vortex Aero Crossbars Part # RR98TB. This rack has flush fit crossbars which do not have any over hang. It will help with loading the larger kayak, and provides a nice sleek look to the vehicle. It also is lockable to the roof to prevent theft of the rack, and you wont have to purchase locking cores or other parts.

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier Combo On A 2020 Kia Sorento
    The Thule Hull-A-Port # TH849000 will work great with your 2020 Kia Sorento! Here are the locks # TH450200. All you need now is a roof rack if you don't already have one. If you have raised side rails on your Sorento then I recommend getting the Rhino-Rack RVP # RR98TB. These have more of an OEM look and are super easy to install. If you have a naked roof, you can get the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and these two fit kits # Y06159 # Y06170.
