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.
We absolutely love these roof racks. Perfect fit on our 2012 Honda CR-V. Great for surfboards and snowboards.
Purchase a roof rack system for my 2016 Acura RDX. Great product. Easy install and removal. I remove it to save gas and keep it away from elements when not in use. My only complaint is that it came with white marker stickers for your door jams. My car is white. I used a Sharpie covered with clear Scotch tape instead.

This was the least expensive product for my car, and I couldn't ask for anything more....it worked flawlessly, and didn't break the bank!
One season hauling two kayaks completed and everything with this system is working as expected. Great savings vs the "big brand" names.

Installation was not that bad, had to read the directions a few times and convert mm to inches as the rack is made in New Zeland. The installation video was very helpful. Installed on 2014 Ram 2500 crew cab. Have not noticed wind noise and it looks good on the truck.
The product I brought was a Xmas gift so has not been installed yet. However I can give a review on the service I received. Rachael was very helpful a knowledgeable with answering questions and helping me place my order. She was also polite and seemed to have a genuine concern that I ordered exactly what would work for me. I am, in fact, going to place another order to expand the uses for this roof rack.
These are incredibly quiet and barely impact my fuel economy. I'm impressed. I've been using these every day.
I have now purchased multiple items on three individual orders through etrailer.com and I have been extremely satisfied. The products are high quality and the delivery/service has been outstanding. I look forward to meeting all of my aftermarket transport needs through etrailer.com
Great product has held up through 2 kayak seasons!
Highly Recommended. This was part of a complete solution including Aero Bars and DK Fit Kit for my Toyota Avalon. I was VERY impressed with the overall fit and sturdiness of the Rhino Rack Solution. The rack and installation is VERY well thought out. Also, the wind noise at 70 MPH is small.
This roof kit enabled me to fit my Prius much cheaper than the dealership and it's STRONG. I've had it for a year and it's rock solid. Definitely recommend!
Great price and free shipping was worth it. Very high quality. Also looks amazing installed. Customer service was top notch.
Great fit, weather and impact resistant, easy to install and adjust. Installed on 2010 Nissan Altima one year ago, no complaints! Highly recommend.

So, when I ordered my stuff I noticed that the cost wasn't charged to my bank. I called to see if my order had been canceled but everything was gathered. Just got my stuff today (a day early) and I everything looks great! If it wasn't 9 at night...and raining I would be outside throwing everything on my car! Great customer service too! I'm not sure why bad reviews are coming in.

This product works well and fits perfectly on the Prius C. Make sure to follow the directions with respect to the directions of the arrows on the pads. Directions are clear and accurate, would suggest you read through them once before starting. Attaches to the vehicle easily and works as advertised.
I've loaded up my car multiple times and never had an issue, lumber from homedepot/lowes or varying kayaks/canoes, the roof rack handles well
Didn't even come with half the parts looks like it was a return from someone else and when I asked about it they said please write a review so no help at all DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE!!!
Great Racks, easy to install and were very stable. Wind noise was reduced by wrapping the bars with parachute cord. I would buy them again
This roof rack was perfect for my GMC Sierra Truck. Extremely easy to install and remove when not needed. Thanks for assisting me in getting the proper size/fit for my vehicle.
These were easy to install and easy to remove. I use one or two in combination with my receiver hitch rack and can carry almost anything.
