Today on our 2016 Nissan Rogue we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System, consisting of part numbers RRVA126S-2. That's going to be the Vortex arrow bars. Part number RRRLKVA, that's going to be the 2500-series legs and part number DK396, that's going to be the fit kit. The crossbars are made of an anodized aluminum, so they're going to be strong and durable and resist corrosion. The elliptical design of the bar is going to reduce wind noise and drag. The weather stripping is going to keep dirt and debris out of the channels as well as provide a slip-resistant surface for any of your mounted accessories.
The crossbars are 49 inches long. They have a weight capacity of 165 pounds. Now you do want to make sure you check with the manufacturer that your roof can handle that. They also come in a quantity of two. Now everything you see does come with a kit. We already have one bar installed on our vehicle and one side of our other bar completed.
We'll go ahead and put the other side together. First, you're going to take your base plate here and mind the position of the arrow. That's always going to be facing away from the vehicle. Then you're going to take your rubber pad, and you're going to put it on to the bottom of here. Again, you want to mind the arrow.
The arrow is going to be facing towards the front of the vehicle. We're just going to take our pad, and we're going to slip it on there. You'll see these grooves right here and on the bottom of your foot, these two rods. You're just going to pop it on to there. Now you're going to take your clamp and you're going to remove this bolt. You're going to place your clamp with the hook facing in like that, line up the hole, and replace the bolt loosely for now.
You will notice there's a little plate right here. You may have to loosen this bolt up, but we're going to take that plate, and we're going to line up our foot with our crossbar. Now we're going to measure from the end of the channel right here, and we're going to line up our foot pad, the edge of our footpad, like so. You'll find the measurement for your application in the instructions. Once we have it in the position we need, we'll go ahead and tighten up our foot pad. I do want to mention one of the nice things about the included tool, it is a torque tool. The curved piece here, when you know you've reached the right torque, it will straighten out, and you don't need to tighten it any more. Now with the bar fully assembled, we can go ahead an open up the doors and get ready to place it on our vehicle. With your bar in a general position that you want it, the manufacturer does say you need to measure from the center of this crossbar to the center of this crossbar. You'll find that measurement in your instructions. We do want to make sure that we measure both sides, so everything is square. With our bar in position, we're going to go ahead and tighten it up, making sure that we alternate between both sides. What I like to do is tighten up one side until I make contact, switch to the other side, and alternate, making sure that I tighten each side equally. Again, the provided torque tool, the curved part, is going to straighten out when you know you've reached the proper torque. Like that, and then you know you don't need to tighten it any more. Another nice feature is that the end caps are locking, so you don't have to worry about any tampering or theft. We'll go ahead and put those on now. In our final step, we'll be putting our end caps in. Simply place them in, and they are locking as well. We'll put the other one on the other side. Now we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road. That will finish up the look at the Rhino Rack Roof Rack on our 2016 Nissan Rogue.
Great service. Friendly and professional. Excellent tracking. Arrived right on time.
A real clean mounting clamp.
Installation went well. Had one of the 4 locks that does not work.
I like the rack looks great however, it makes a horrible whistling sound. I will have to sell it and get something else. The whistling in annoying on long drives.
Fit perfectly! Just follow instructions! Really fits tight and securely. Couldn’t be happier and looks great!
easy to install but measurements weren't 100% accurate. over all very sturdy.
Good product but instructions confusing.
Extremely well made and easy to put on the vehicle. I am very pleased I got this from etrailer.
The one complaint we have is when they are on they create a really annoying whistle.
Worked great with the roof wrack and retailer conveniently packed them together.
Good product, as expected thanks etrail er!
Everything worked out well... but we wish we had bought a canoe instead of a kayak.
I really liked the suggestion I was given on my new roof racks
Easy to install and easy to use. Great set of clamps.
Roof rack looks great. Easy to install.
Product arrived all intact, assembly instructions could use some work couple things a little confusing. But got through OK.
service was great. Only 3 out of 4 pads came obviously manufacture error. But would like to have the 4th pad
Customer service via phone excellent. Speed of delivery excellent (2days). Packaging minus 5 (yes…four products dumped in an oversized box with such a poor tape job that it was open on one end). I didn’t know if all that I had ordered was actually in the box and either had fallen out or damaged until I took each part out of their individual boxes. I installed the roof rack yesterday. Overall pleased. Not etrailer’s fault but the key bolts on the Rhino-Tak plates that secure the bars to the car (M8 50mm) are much too short. Going to the hardware store today to replace them with 60mm.
Once again etrailer.com delivers a great product. Quick delivery (faster than [online vendor]). Everything that is needed to complete the project.
Instructions confusing, easier to figure it out by looking at parts
Product exactly as advertized, showed up up very fast, easy to install. Overall very pleased with etrailer experience.
Great advice & customer service. I highly recommend etrailer.
A bit of a challenge to get it installed just right, but once in place it's rock solid. Very pleased with the rack, especially for the price.
excellent product, hardly any added noise, strong, easy to install. great customer service
Great product for a great price. etrailer has always been on top of there game.
