Video Transcript for Rhino-Rack Aero Roof Rack Installation - 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt
Today on our 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Two-Door, we'll be test fitting a Rhino Rack Roof Rack System. We'll be using the DA118 Bars and the fit kit for our vehicle is part number DK182. Now, the bars are also available in black and that's part number DA118B. We've already got our roof rack assembled according to the instructions and now we're ready to fit it up on the vehicle. First thing we need to do is open our doors. We'll take our front bar assembly and set it up on top of our roof.
To position it correctly, we need to measure from the seam where our door meets the body at the back to the center of the front bar, and we need to set this measurement at 700 mm or 27-9/16 inches. Once we had the front bar in position, we'll use the included tool to tighten down the adjustment bolts, making sure that we have the clips fitted properly against the frame of our door. Now, we'll grab our rear bar and set it up on top of the roof. To position the rear bar properly, we'll measure from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar and set this measurement at 550 mm. This measurement is known as the crossbar spread and is a useful piece of information to have when shopping for accessories.
With the rear bar in position, we'll go ahead and tighten it down just like we did the front bar. Once we have the roof rack tightened down, all we have to do is reinstall our locking covers and close the doors. With that done, our roof rack is mounted to our vehicle and we're ready to start adding accessories. That's it for our test fit of the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System on our 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Two-Door.

I've only just installed this rack but it seems alright so far. The most annoying thing for installation was the length to cut the rubber strips was wrong in the instructions. I had to re-cut them and will have to do so again in order to get the rack to lock, leaving them in multiple pieces which seems un-ideal.
Comments
The rack continues to work well after a couple of years. The only drawback is the noise that it makes on the freeway when empty. I always take them off when not using them and this is the main reason.

Product worked as intended to. Roof rack bars stay solidly attached to the car, and the rubber feet help protect the roof from scratches.

Shipment came in good quality, waiting for a day to install. I am excited. Representative called to inform me of delay, that was nice.
by: Brian M05/23/2014
Product was fine. They didn't have it in stock though and it took forever to ship.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Pretty nice rack system. Held up to my 90lb canoe no problem. However a piece did fly off on the highway and the "locking" bar end cap can pull off super easy.
The directions were ok. There is some stuff you have to kind of figure out for yourself, mainly the roof trim. I plan to leave the rack on so I drilled theough the trim

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Just followed all the etrailer website prompts for my naked roof Toyota Matrix and it set me up with the three packages needed- rails legs and fitkit. Installed easily enough. I like the little arrow stickers hidden in the door jams for fast re-install later. Held two 10’ kayaks on a 2 hr journey with ease.

Absolutely love the Rhino Rack. Easy to install (watch the [online] video). Looks GREAT. Hauls my kayaks no problem. Very well made and I highly recommend this product.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
This is a perfect fit for our 2015 Prius V with "naked" roof. Instructions were clear and accurate, and the bars are solid and able to support our canoe and kayak easily. We added the air deflector, as there was a bit of wind noise, but now there is none. Great product at much lower price than the big names.

The Rhino 2500 series is well built. The etrailer customer service person Trevor W. was great. He was so helpful in getting the right components for my Rhino 2500 roof rack to mount to my 2010 Silverado. Thanks for the help Trevor.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
This was the kit for my 2020 equinox. The spacing of the feet on the vortex aero bars was incorrect I had to use the Euro sizes. Went back and forth with customer service trying to get confirmation that was the right size but it never was confirmed. Everything is installed now and sturdy.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Installed this and 65" Vortex Areo crossbars on a 2015 RAM 5500 chassis cab/crew cab. It is listed to fit 1500 to 3500 RAM's and neither Rhino-Rack or etrailer would confirm it would fit the 5500. My research suggested there was not much, if any difference, between the 3500 and 5500 crew cab, so ordered it any way. Installation was relatively easy, fit seemed to be good and have made multiple 200-300 mile trips with a 75lb kayak. Good price, great customer service and fast delivery through etrailer.
Comments
Neither Rhino-Rack nor etrailer.com have tested the roof rack on a 5500 ChassisCab, which is why we couldnt confirm the fit.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Customer support was great. After reading the instructions and watching the video on how to install the Rhino Rack installation went well. The ski rack has one draw back, if you leave car out over night with skis locked in the ski rack, every thing can be easily stolen. All you need is an Allen wrench to remove the ski rack with the skis. The roof rack has locking covers the prevent theft of the roof rack. The ski rack can be easily removed from the roof rack.

Easy assembly and installation. Pay careful attention to pad direction as shown in instruction sheet for the fit kit. One gripe: one end-cap refuses to lock (blue plastic key lock). Had to tape it on so I don’t lose it.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
These were exactly the right part for my car. They were easy to put on the crossbar kit. The crossbar kit also worked great. I can't imagine how a more expensive set would have worked better than the Rhino Rack we bought.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
This was a great purchase. I originally ordered roof crossbars from somewhere else and immediately returned them. They were a universal fit and were not secure at all when they were tightened down. They were from a third seller on Amazon. I found these on etrailer and I am glad that I made the purchase. I did not want to spend the money at first that these cost, but am glad that I did. The install was easy and the crossbars are very secure and hold up well with the cargo basket installed. They were well worth the money. Can't wait to try them out when we go camping. Thank you etrailer.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
I needed roof racks on my 2023 Silverado to accommodate the shape of my canoe. I had Yakima racks on the camper shell but the canoe was hitting the top of my truck. My Rhino racks showed up yesterday evening and I’m ready to go this morning!

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
We originally got this rack system (Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof Item #DK427) mostly for our Kayak racks on our 2015 Ford F-150, which worked great. Then we totaled our F-150 and the racks actually fit on our new 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD P/U. We took it on a 16,000 mile trip from the East Coast to Alaska with both 12 ft. kayaks on the top. Through the various speeds (sometimes up to 80 mph), weather conditions, and the high crosswinds of the mid-West, the racks help up perfectly. No issues or problems. I would recommend these to anyone.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
The rack was fairly easy to mount on my Durango. I was able to load my kayak from the side since I have a bike rack on the rear. I use a bathroom rug and flip the boat up on the car, then slide the boat directly onto the rack. I only carry it this way for short drives to local lakes. There is some wind noise at 50 mph.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Fairly easy installation. Read the instructions thoroughly before hand and get familiar with the parts. Take care when installing mounting studs onto car itself so as not to strip or cross thread them. Once installed they look great.
Comments
Fantastic! Very little noise on highway and sturdy.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
I've had this Rhino Rack 2500 series for one year. I've outfitted the rack with one "J hook" style kayak holder and one "cradle" kayak holder. I am able to securely travel with two kayaks on the roof of my 2014 Honda Civic sedan without issue. During the one year I've had this rack I've traveled over 1,000 miles with two 12 foot+ kayaks on my roof. I can set cruise control at 70mph and not worry about the rack failing. I rate it four (4) stars because the cradles will sometimes move during a long drive and have to be readjusted. This is something that is more cosmetic in the since it looks slightly off, however it does not affect the racks security.

Worked great for my 19 civic si! Some noise but I think that’s normal. Does not affect my sunroof from functioning!

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Fit my Honda CRV perfectly and the whole kit was easy to install. The cargo box I ordered for in the racks perfectly. Of course there was some noise when traveling, and also reduced gas mileage, but that is to be expected. The very slight whistle when driving at higher speeds was easy to tune out. Service from etrailer was great and shipping was quick! I also appreciate all of the information and tutorials available. Would order from this company again.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
The roof rack continued to get loose and I lost 2 kayaks going down the highway. I was able to recover them after significant damage. The whole rear rack fell off. Once reinstalled I added numerous straps and continued to stop every 50-75 miles to retighten and adjust so it didn’t happen again. I will not be using these roof racks again.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
I bought these to be able to haul 4 kayaks on the roof of my 2017 Ram Mega cab while pulling our fifth wheel. We have use the Rhino Rack several times including a trip from Kentucky to Montana and back with no issues. I highly recommend the Rhino Rack for extra cargo capacity on top of your pickup. The instructions were good and installation was pretty straight forward. I plan to take the system off in the winter which will be easy to do.

Great packaging, timely delivery and good quality Rhino products! I watched a utube video on installing the rack system which made the install much easier.

- Compatibility of Rhino Rack Cross Bars with Thule Kayak CarrierThe part # you referenced, # DK182 is the vehicle specific portion of the roof rack system that actually attaches the rack to the vehicle. This is the correct part for your Pontiac G5. I do not have any information regarding the fit of Thule products on a Rhino Rack system as the individual companies do not typically test the compatibility with competitor products. They would prefer you buy their accessories for their roof rack systems. That being said, I can give you the dimensions of...

I can confirm that these parts DO fit a 4-door 2010 Chevy Cobalt and will give your car a complete roof rack: - 46" Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 - Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA - Custom DK Fit Kit # DK182

Unfortunately Inno doesn't have a roof rack fit for your 2006 Chevy Cobalt but I do have a different recommendation for you to transport your skis and snowboards. For your application I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack roof rack that uses the 46" Crossbars # RRVA118B-2. To complete this system you also need the...
view full answer... - Sturdy Roof Rack Recommendation for 2008 Chevy CobaltFor a vehicle like your 2008 Chevy Cobalt I would not want to recommend a track style of rack as the best option. The tracks aren't going to flex enough to fit well and the clamp style racks are much sturdier than one might think so even though that's not the option you listed wanting it would be your overall best option still. Rhino Rack does offer a heavy duty roof rack that fits your vehicle with the # RB1250, # RRRLKHD, and # DK181 if you have a sedan or part # DK182 for a coupe but...
