Specs:
The Malone AirFlow2 roof rack lets you carry gear and accessories on the roof of your vehicle with raised, factory side rails. This complete roof rack system includes 2 aluminum, aerodynamic crossbars and 4 towers. Rubber strips in the top channels push down for easy loading of T-slot accessories and carriers. The full-length crossbars extend past the towers to give you more mounting space for carriers, and the towers have built-in locks to protect the rack from theft. The rack clamps onto your raised side rails and tightens down with the included tool, so it's easy to remove and install.
Aerodynamic Shape
The AirFlow2's Aerodynamic shape helps control air flow over and under the bar to significantly decrease wind noise and vibration even at highway speeds. This decreases the need to add a fairing to your roof rack. The aero-style bar also reduces drag and helps maintain fuel efficiency.
Lightweight, Aluminum Crossbars
The silver crossbars are made of aluminum, which makes them strong, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion. The bars also have plastic endcaps to protect the interiors from the elements and to give your roof rack a finished look.
Durable Towers with Built-In Security
The towers are made of molded nylon that won't fade or wear down when exposed to the elements. Each tower includes a nylon cover with a built-in lock to deter would-be thieves from removing the rack from your roof. The covers also protect the towers' interior and hardware from the elements.
Easy Installation with Rubber-Coated Steel Clamps
The towers attach to your vehicle's raised, factory side rails with rubber-coated steel clamps. The rubber coating provides a superior grip on your side rails and protects them from damage during installation and use.
To tighten, simply turn the bolt inside the tower assembly with the included installation tool until the clamps are snug. Once assembled, the towers and crossbars stay together as one unit, which makes removing, storing, and reinstalling the system a snap. To remove, simply remove the cover and loosen the bolts inside the towers with the installation tool.
Channel and Clamp-On Accessories
These crossbars have built-in top channels with strips that allow you to carry channel-mounted accessories on your roof. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet.
Maximum Cargo Carrying Capacity
The AirFlow2 includes full-length crossbars that extend past the towers. The increased length gives you more space to mount accessories and carriers to your roof rack. The bars are compatible with most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers.

These bars are really easy to use and look nice. My only complaint is that the end caps are hard to put on. Two of them broke while I was installing it, and an email to customer service was never answered. 567274
Outstanding product! The rack, once mounted, is rock solid. The instruction were clear and the mounting process was fairly simple. My only complaint/warning would be to NOT over-tighten the Allen screw that clamps the mount to the side rail. One of the internal nuts stripped, but I was able to make it work with a lock nut of the proper size. I take the blame for that. 434772
Arrived very quickly and installed today...simple install and looks good. Mentioned to a coworker I had ordered from etrailer and he said he had also ordered some racks for his truck earlier from your company and was very pleased. 435362
Have Malone Airflow 2 crossbars. Fit well and hold everything in place. Can’t complain. Bought them for the price, nothing fancy. Take them off in winter. Takes forever to manually screw them on tight. Expected that. If you don’t get the rubber gasket things in place perfectly under the crossbars as instructed they whistle as you drive. Don’t lose the keys! 690759
Pretty slick looking, and fairly easy to install on a 2018 Subaru Forester. No problems inserting the rubber trim into the slot on the underside of the crossbars. I haven't yet driven it above 50 mph (just installed them this afternoon) but so far no noise issues. I also haven't mounted any kind of equipment rack to the crossbars, so I can't speak to the T-slot functionality yet. One tip - be sure the plastic end cap is pushed onto the rail far enough for the release tab to click into the square hole inside the rail end. It can feel like it's pushed on all the way, but the tab must engage or it's not secure. Give it a solid tug to test it - sure would suck for it to come flying off on the highway somewhere. 529106
Kevin T - 07/01/20191ST time user of etrailer. Extreamly happy with the product that I ordered. The reason you were chosen by me was word of mouth through my son-in-law, and then ease of use of your site. 705343
Super fast shipping. Everything installed in about 20 minutes, no problems. Fits great on 2015 forester with raised roof rails. Only tool required was an Allen key that is attached to lock 'A' of the included towers. 500139
Taylor - 04/24/2019My SUV now has Utility!! Added the racks so I could transport purchases from my local home improvement stores. Not using any carriers (bike, kayak). The kit was easy to install, looks great! Is quiet (unlike comparably priced square tubbing), and includes rubber that should keep my rails from getting scratched. I prefer a straight across profile over the curved versions that cost 2-3x more. Highly recommend. . 693723
I am reluctant to leave a review before I actually use them, but I wanted to go ahead and leave a review on ease of setup. It took me less than 10 minutes to install the bars and they appear to be well made. We'll see once I start hauling my kayak around this spring. 493800
Thomas E - 04/07/2019Our objective is to carry a 16' canoe. etrailer was quite helpful in advising on cross-bar options for our 2015 Toyota Sienna minivan. The Malone cross bars were a good value and fit onto our factory installed roof rails. Also, their measurement was sufficiently accurate that the minivan is able to clear entry into our garage. We will be going back to etrailer for advice on which support system to use with the Malone cross bars. 544461
Previous owner and heavy user of roof racks including Yakima round bars on 3 vehicles, Thule aero bars (2) and factory roof racks on Toyota 4Runner and Highlander. First Malone product. Took about 45 minutes to place on a Rav4. Construction materials are solid but just a hair below Thule and Yakima. Ease of installation was as good or better than previous racks. Value was by far the greatest asset that Malone offers. Once installed, the racks feel solid, only a hint of additional road noise on the way to work this morning. Full test with two sup boards on a 200 mile round trip this weekend. 551807
Here’s our 2017 4runner with Malone aero racks and Thule force XL Cargo box Great combination for the rig 488902
Is on and it looks great !!! Easy to put in on, 490602
Miguel V - 03/29/2019Easy to assemble and look good. Happy with the price. As other reviewers said, watch the end caps, there is extra plastic on the odd locking tab that needs to be trimmed so they will stay on. The manufacturer should look at fixing the mold for this. Etrailer experience was excellent. 553440
Al - 08/13/2019The crossbars themselves are relatively lightweight but appear to be sturdy. I used them on my 4runner to mount a rooftop tent. I traveled some rough trails and was camping for four nights without any problem. The bars have done well under some rough conditions. I do think the plastic end caps are garbage. They were a pain to install then easily come off if the rail clamp slides and hits them, also break easily. That was disappointing. etrailer service was fantastic and I recommend doing business with them 496246
Jeff A - 04/14/2019The Airflow2 are great. They fit perfectly on the stock rails on my Subaru Impreza. Quiet, secure, and good looking. When driving with my 19ft surfski or 12ft surf rescue boards I have complete confidence. 557970
Mike L - 08/25/2018 Kevin - 08/25/2019Rack working well. Only minor issue is that the small plastic covers on the ends of the racks that cover up the securing bolts tend to pop open when I pull my kayak off the rack. Would be better if those covers were hinged at the top versus the bottom and opened in the upward direction. Probably a matter of time before they get ripped off. 565877
Mark - 09/17/2019I ordered the Malone MPG215 and they arrived in a few days. I was worried that the 50" rails would be to short, the Malone fitment guide said they would be to short and I would need the 58" rails for my 2017 Jeep Cherokee. I didn't want the longer rails to overhang the doors and bang my head. I watched the etrailer install video and they had the shorter rails so I figured it was worth a chance. They arrived completely assembled except for the snap on end caps and the rubber trim for the bottom of the rails. Easy install- take out of the box, unlock the covers, take out the allen keys, loosen up the clamps, put them on the rack, measure for alignment, tighten them up, replace the covers, snap on end caps, measure and cut the rubber trim and install, DONE!!!! It took about a half hour, super easy at half the cost of more expensive rails. The silver rails go good with the factory rack. Over hang is about an inch in the front and two inches in the rear. Now I can take my gear or get some materials at the local home improvement store without fear of how I'm going to get it home. I really appreciate the install videos etrailer provides, makes everything easier. 655581
I bought the least expensive item in the category, and I must say I was happy with the results. The Aero Crossbars were pretty easy to install and work well. Very little wind noise, if any. Though with the Cargo basket attached to the rails, there is a little wind noise. The Rola Cargo Basket is very sturdy and seems to be well made and solid. Better then my expectation. The roof/rack mounting hardware works well. The only difficulty I had in assembly was with the rubber sleeves that cover the basket assembly screws to protect them from rusting. These were very challenging to install and I wish I had thought to just use some black duct tape - I suspect most people don't bother with them. That was the only negative - I do lose about 2.5 miles per gallon with the rack installed on my 2017 Subaru Forester, but that was expected. Overall very pleased with the purchase. Found the ordering and shipping went exactly as expected. 407848
Jimmie R - 07/19/2018In response to etrailer.com's request for a 1-year update on my experience with the Malone Airflow2 Roof Rack, I have to say I remain 100% satisfied! This product was far more affordable than most other options for my 2014 Audi Allroad, and it has performed flawlessly. It was crucial to install the rubber stoppers carefully to block all wind whistles, and it was slightly annoying to have to cut them to fit and place them appropriately, so I would not want to have to modify them to add another rack to the twin OneUp fatbike racks I've installed, but that initial installation effort was my only complaint. I even made the all-too-common rookie mistake of beginning to drive into my garage with a bike on my roof: while I bent one of my OneUp racks, there was NO apparent damage to the Malone Airflow2 (so it seems plenty rugged)! 527341
Derick - 06/27/2019received the racks very quickly they installed within an hour and they look great. I put them on a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. 419560
MarkR. - 08/13/2018Product was better than advertised. Very clean and sleek. Installation took 20 minutes. Only tool not in the box was a tape measure to square it on roof. Only complaint was the ends of the bars have burs which of course i cut a knuckle on. It does come with caps to cover ends. The color is an almost perfect match to factory rails. 525869
Ordered this roof rack for a 2013 Toyota RAV4 and it arrived well packaged and on the date as promised. Rack is so easy to install that I didn't bother to look at the instructions. Solid Construction! I like the fact that it extends a little beyond the rails as it leaves the ends to easily loop lines around. Drove for an hour the first day with them on and hardly noticed any difference in the wind noise at 70mph. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to buy again. 404263
This is a great value product. I was a bit discouraged by the pricing of similar name brand products. I took a chance on this brand, and have been very happy thus far. Assembly was a breeze and fit was perfect thanks to the fit guide offered by etrailer. Would highly recommend this roof rack system, especially for those unwilling to pay double (or more) for other brands that serve the same purpose. 544818
Jason S - 07/23/2019Rails were as expected, fit great. Had an issue wit a part and the folks at etrailer came though above an beyond what I expected. Great customer service. The wind noise is negligible and if it bothers me I'll turn on the radio. Have tied ladders down with no issues. So the snowflakes will give their snowflake reviews of how the rails do not work. So listen to them if you choose to do so. I am very pleased with the rails and the quality of the rails. I went ahead and scratched them the first time used, that way I can not get upset if they get a scratch later. They do however kill some bugs, so if you want to protect the endangered bugs, I suggest hugging a tree. 566147
