Today on this 2011 Kia Soul, were going to be test fitting a Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack. We already have the crossbar assemblies put together, and now were ready to mount them up on the vehicle. The first thing we need to do is open both the front doors. To position our front bar we need to measure 310 mm or 12-7/32 from the center of the door gap between the front and rear door, and the center of the front bar. Once we have our position set we can go ahead and tighten down the front crossbar assembly. We will move back and forth from drivers side to passengers side to tighten down the system evenly, and make sure that we dont lose our position.
With the front bar tightened down were ready to move on with the rear. Again we will start by opening both of the doors. To position the rear bar we will measure from the center of the front bar, to the center of the rear. This measurement needs to be 700 mm or 27-9/16. We will repeat the same tightening procedure that we used in the front.
Next well install our end caps and locking door covers. We will also do the same for the drivers side of the vehicle. With all the end caps and locking doors installed our installation is complete. We will also give you some measurements so you can accommodate for the added height. From the top of the roof on the center of our vehicle weve added about 4-1/2 of height.
And that does it for the test fit of our Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack on a 2011 Kia Soul. .

This custom fit kit lets you mount 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 legs to your vehicle with a naked roof. Clamps mount to legs with bolts. Includes 4 clamps and 4 pads.No matter how much I adjusted/tightened my roof rack legs on my 2013 KIA Soul, they never fit tightly and perfectly. When I finished my trip, my rack was loose. An expensive, $500 lesson.
Seemed to work well with my 2012 Kia Soul. I have only had it on my car for a day at writing this so I can't really give it five stars. I would bump it up to five stars once its been on for a few months. Easy to install, and after doing a bit of research Etrailer.com Had the best deal, and support for installation.
Love this rack! It was easy to put together and install on my 2011 Kia Soul. It made me love my car!!! Even though other reviews have mentioned some wind noise, I have noticed no nose or anything else annoying about driving around with the rack. I've taken it on one big camping trip last week and it worked great!
Thanks to etrailer for all the great videos and instructions!
Watch the video 4 times to make sure I assembled it correctly. But have to say it was easy especially for me!! I used the rack on my 2012 Kia Soul, which does not have much room for luggage. The rack worked fine.
Awesome !!!! Looks great..easy to install. I highly recommend etrailer!! They are great. Bought a tow package for my Kia soul as well and love it.
If you are mechanically inclined. This roof rack system is easy to install. If you are a rookie, let a professional do the install.
Product came on-time & had no difficulties assembling or securing to vehicle.
Thanks!!
great product, I was very surprised at how great it actually fit my vehicle (2012 kia soul). thank you.
Purchased this item as a present for my grandson's Kia Soul.I was amazed by the rapid shipping, The product is excellent and fits the car as advertised. My grandson is happy with it.
Pretty good instructions pictures could have been a little clearer. Very well made
One of the best and easiest pieces of hardware to use.
The package came fast. Was easy to assemble . It is now on my car and I couldn't be happier.
Reasonable price and work good
Very satisfactory! The whole experience was great, the rack was easy to put together, very strong and sturdy, and looks great.
Just right
Fit our 2011 Kia perfectly. Well made and very solid. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Easy to assemble and appears very good quality.
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.
Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
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.
