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.

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.Where do I start? I've been whitewater kayaking for 22 or so years now. I've always used used either Yakima or Thule products... Until I bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue with a naked roof. The curvature of the roof and large door jams mean that Yakima and Thule can't make racks for them. I went to a place that does custom installs and again because of the curvature of the roof, they couldn't give me a rack. This meant no kayaking which is really bad news. Enter the Rhino rack system. I purchased the feet, the fit kit, the cross bars and a Yakima "big stack" stacker. The first issue I had is the reccomended size for the Nissan Rogue is only 48 inches. Way too small too haul 4-5 (very light) whitewater kayaks. I called etrailer and they were SUPER helpful, told me I can buy the 65 in cross bars and they'll work fine. I held my breath and placed my order. I was nervous leaving my trusted name brands. The order arrived super fast (they told me it would arrive by Friday but it actually arrived on Thursday) and everything was packaged rock solid. I was impressed. I read the instructions and put the rack system on my car. It took about a hour (it was hot and I worked slowly) but the rack system is SUPER SOLID. I love it. Rhino might have a "forever" customer out of me. -The rack system is very stable. I can't move it with my hands by pushing or pulling. -The rubber stripping you put on the top and bottom of the bar is an awesome added feature AND it reduces wind noise. -Adding the fairing reduced wind noise even further. With four boats on the roof you couldn't hear any extra noise. The ONE thing I dislike is that you need to use the supplied Allen wrench to take the rack on and off the car. It's a small complaint, but other systems I've used in the past don't have them. I paid much less for this system than I would have if I purchased one of the aforementioned systems, but I'm really really satisfied with the product. We will see how well it holds up over long-term use, but it looks awesome! 411250
I bought this roof rack kit for my 2015 Nissan Rogue awd 5-dr. The shipping time was excellent and everything arrived together and undamaged. The instructions are simple and easy to follow and I had it put together and ready to mount in about 30 min. Aligning it on the roof is definitely easier with two people, but can be done alone. The forward rack's rubber feet fit seamlessly on the roof of my car and tightened snugly with no worries of it flying off. Be sure to follow the directions for the included torque wrench and everything will form perfectly. The rear rack's rubber feet form is a little off and they don't sit flush with the car's body, but after torquing to the required tightness the rear rack fit securely with only a tiny gap between the body and feet. On the road, I made it up to 75 mph before any whistling was noticed, but some music at mid volume drowned it out. Be sure to cut the rubber and fit everything as precise as possible. This will prevent drag and whistling. The quality of the metal and plastic isn't as high as other brands, but when those other brands don't fit your car you have to compromise and this would be my top pick. 253160
Simple to follow directions that made this install quick and easy. The bars are nice and solid. I am much happier with the Rino Rack than with the sportrack. 667263
Ended up putting this on my 2019 Nissan Rogue. The end result looks great. Because my car is newer the measurements it came with in the directions were incorrect. So if you are putting it on a newer vehicle you have to just kind of wing it or find the proper measurements elsewhere, which is a bit time consuming but definitely worth it. It whistles a little on the highway but I’m sure it can be adjusted so it won’t. All parts fit well and it looks great! 659501
Yep, working great, putting it on again this wknd for canoeing. Thanks much 644406
Installed the rhino rack kit on my 2017 Nissan Rogue. Fits really good and easy to install. Fast shipping too. I have a rack for my prius as well from etrailer.com and love there products. I installed a roof basket on my rack also. It also makes your ride look cool as well as functional. 623161
Installed the roof rack myself in just a little while. As long as you pay attention to your measurements, the installation goes brilliantly. I tightened the hardware once that summer and once here in the spring. Just to make sure everything was still snug. My only issue was the whistling from the bars. My fault for buying the square bars but, a little fill and wrap on the bars and the whistle is gone. Very sturdy assembly which handles out 10' and 12' kayaks (and the occasional trip to the local big box store strapping stuff to the roof rack) with no issues. 548636
My box was not properly wrapped up and one end was open when arrived, I have not installed the roof racks but I’m hoping that all the parts needed are there, will let you know. 452935
Very easy to put together. Once together it was even easier to install on top of my car. Wasn't sure what to expect, but I am thrilled that I got this roof rack. Now I don't have to rely on other people and their cars to move stuff. Now I just have to wait till next ski season before they get full use 188172

Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
Delivery was fast - racks seem solid. Happy with product. Like the one tool (plus a knife and tape measure) installation. Could use a little more emphasis on the interplay of the two instruction sheets - the general one and the specific measurements for the car model. Maybe big bold capital letters would help in the instructions (when you need to go to the other sheet). The arrows on the black pads are kind of hard to see, so it took a few times to get the configuration correct (pad type, pad direction, foot direction). But that was the only snag, all else is good. The online installation video was helpful. The total cost was almost half what the local outdoor store wanted to charge for Yakima racks (that were only rated 100 lbs.) Since I am carrying a canoe a lot, I went for the 165 lbs rated Rhino rack. I also widened the separation of the racks on the roof about two inches as well. This was for the canoe - and also to get it level, it was a bit down in the nose with the measurements in the instructions.. By moving the rear rack more astern, the spread was wider and level. 234297
Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
As always from etrailer.com, a great product at a reasonable price. Customer service help was not necessary in this case to choose the best product for my vehicle and needs, but has been a painless process for other needs in the past. Etrailer.com is my go-to for aftermarket cargo hardware needs. As always, however, the manufacturer (not etrailer.com) provides marginal instructions. In spite of that, initial assembly and installation on my wife's 2016 Escape took about an hour, and it looks like the rack will do a great job for us on family trips. I anticipate removal or reinstall Atkin in the future to take less than 15 minutes for one person. 334673

Followed the instructions, using j hooks and torqued clamps as instructed. Combined weight for both boats was less than 100 lbs. Rails are rated for 165 lbs. 538393

Got it the day I left for a trip with my friends, two hours after he said it came my husband text me with pictures! It was easy to install by himself. He said the directions were rough at first but they were fine once he figured it out. I love it on my CX5! I cannot wait to put my hard case on it for traveling. 458070

Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
Excellent price and quick shipping. Excellent support for missing bar end cap. Rack was easy to put together and install and video was helpful. My only complaint is when trying to tie down kayak to cradle it is not easy to keep the loop over the top of the upright "U" shaped bar, it keeps siding down. We wrapped two pieces of foam around the bar to create a channel to hold the strap now it is easy. 557942

Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
Product came quickly and as described. I would rate it higher but there wasn't the measurement needed to set the brackets horizontally, I had to figure it out through trial and error. Also, a high pitched whistling sound is heard at high speeds when the air moves across the grooves in the bars. Functionally there is nothing wrong with the product and it works well as intended for my 2015 Ford Escape. 279659
Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
The racks look great and are solidly anchored. I have yet to use them under load but I am pleased with the final product so far. My only complaint was that the assembly process is difficult to understand unless you Google the help videos. The assembly process is confusing and tedious until you gain an understanding of the overall setup. 417226
Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
I have on this product for over a year now and after installing it on the roof of my car, I haven’t had to touch it. I’ve put this rack through the ringer in what I’ve at the times idiotically strapped to it, from full sheets of drywall, 200 pounds of siding and numerous other construction projects, this rack has come in clutch. I have also used this for more of what it’s designed for in carrying my surfboard, Wakeboard, and other sporting equipment never having to worry about it once. The only downside is that it does create more wind noise. But it’s not that noticeable. If this is a concern just upgrade to the aero bars! 563901

ORDERED THE RHINO 2500 FOR MY 2011 MAZDA 3. ORDER WAS PLACED ON MONDAY AND ARRIVED THURSDAY. TOOK AN HOUR AND A CIGAR TO GET MY BEARINGS. THE DIRECTIONS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BECAUSE I ORDERED THE KIT FOR FIXED ROOF POINTS. MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE AND ALL CAME TOGETHER. IWOULD ONLY CHANGE ONE PART, THE MOUNTING BOLT THAT ATTACHES THROUGH THE BASE TO THE ROOF SCREW WOULD BE BETTER IF THE SLEEVE USED FOR THE WRENCH WAS CAST METAL. OVERALL I AM PLEASED AND AM LOOKING FOWARD TO PUTTING MY KAYAK ON THE ROOF WHILE SAVING WHATS LEFT OF MY PAINT JOB. IWOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. 216236

Bought this Rhino-Rack to install on my 2013 Hyundai Elantra. This product was a great value. Installation was very easy. Processing and shipping was incredibly fast. I had one little minor issue with a screw head that was stripped, and although it did not delay installation, customer service was all over it, and had a new one out to me in no time. I have purchased from etrailer.com before, and always had great product and customer service. 219211
I am still digging my Rhino Rack! In fact, this Spring I bought two sets of kayak carriers, from etrailer, of course, that attach to the Rhino-Rack. The kayak carriers are super easy to attach and use. Ive use Rhino-Rack to carry my canoe, my kayaks, building materials and even small furniture pieces.
Chuckmet - 08/17/2016Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
These Aero Racks are perfect on my Scion XB, stylish cool look & importantly Quiet with absolutely no wind noise! Also bought the Rocky Mount Cargo Basket & it comes WITH a full bunji net cover. It is also quiet with no wind noise & you can tie surf gear on top like racks (use padded rack pads) & or put things inside for more carrying space. Also a cool stylish look on the Scion XB or any other compact car like my wifes Toyota Yaris... We move it back & forth to who ever needs the Cargo Basket for the days Adventure. 344171

Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
Excellent product! Fits like a glove on my 2016 Hyundai Elantra. Install was fairly quick and painless. My dad and I installed it in about 20 minutes with no problems. I would definitely recommend installing this with two people to make sure the bars are evenly spaced on the vehicle. I love the way it looks and you can tell it is great quality. I plan to leave the rack on permanently and just change out the various gear attachments. I also bought the Rhino Rack Bike Mount and they fit perfectly together. There is very little wind noise and you can't even hear it when the sunroof is closed. I got up to 60ish mph and only noticed some noise when the radio was off and I was actively listening for any extra noises. I am very impressed with this roof rack already. Great price and great quality product. Can't wait to get more use out of it! 291409

Was skeptical about Rhino Racks as I hadnt heard of them and given other brands (thule/yakima) stated they wouldn't work for my 2016 Toyota Prius C. It works great, so excited to have my bike and storage available in a compact car. Thanks!!! 334499

Great! It came quickly and went together like a dream on top of which it looks fantastic on my truck. It's not the first time I bought from etrailer and it won't be the last. Thanks so much! 257813
One year update. The rack is still great in my opinion. It does make a little noise but not as much as I thought it would and I havent taken it off yet. The only problem I had with it was that one of the plastic end caps fell off. Over all I give it a 9 out of ten.
Clair C - 06/05/2017Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
I ordered these racks for my 2011 Mazda Tribute w/ a naked roof. The quality and ease of assembly was remarkable. I use the racks for loading surfboards (longboards 9 ft to 10 ft.) and they are exactly what I needed!!! I would highly recommend this product. The helpful folks at etrailer.com were great. The product arrived on time with no hassles and the price was less than the factory system which was far less robust. Cheers. 136891
Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
My three star review has to do with the product, not the service. I am quite mechanically inclined and have installed and assembled many things over my 45 years. I followed the instructions very carefully but the measurements for the strips were just off. It was difficult to tell because of the location but probably at least 6 or 8 mm on each end. I basically had to just loosen them and figure out where they needed to be and then try to tighten them without moving them. Then, I measured very carefully according to the instructions where they should sit on the roof. This went fairly well but having to readjust as discussed in the previous paragraph made it more difficult than it should have been. Once I got them parallel and where I thought they should be, it was difficult snug them down very tightly. If you tightened one end too much the other foot started to pick up. So I would go tighten that one down and go back and forth until it just wouldn't work anymore. And yes I did loosen the Fasteners on the bars themselves so that they could settle into the right configuration. Overall, I think they are a pretty decent set but it was difficult to install because the instructions were way off. Also when I fasten my kayak to the bars, the feet tend to raise up a little. I tightened everything even a little more than the fancy torque wrench indicated. Having said all that, this is probably a pretty decent set for the price. Also when I get the Swagman piece assembled and on the roof bars, I think the kayak will sit better in the saddle mount and I won't have to tighten so much to the bars. I think the multi shaped Keel of my kayak made it difficult to get comfortably tight for me, as I do a lot of Interstate driving and I wanted it very secure. Would I buy this again? I'm really not sure. It's my first rack. If I could absolutely not spend any more money then yes I probably would. I also think the Swagman Saddle Rack will make it an even better setup. 489774
Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
I used this rack to mount two 65lbs kayaks to my vehicle and travel. One of many trips was over a thousand miles (round trip) and they moved maybe half a centimeter a piece during. I was extremely pleased with how easily I could adjust them. The original shipment had everything that was supposed to be in it and the directions were realitively clear. I had them together and on in roughly an hour. When they are off the roof the only issue I have arises. The rubber feet that sit directly on the roof tend to fall off easily. Not a big deal. 357138
Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
This is a great roof rack, VERY sturdy once attached! I used it to carry two kayaks on the freeway multiple times and it was flawless. It is quite loud, but that is to be expected with this type of roof rack. Having the sunroof open doesn't help either... :-) 356032
Thanks for checking in with me! I love my rack. I actually just bought a bike rack and wheel holder from etrailer.com for it! Have a great summer!
Kevin R - 05/04/2018Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
Install onto factory fix points was relatively easy, being very careful to not cross thread anything. The numbered instructions had good pictures and were easy to follow. Cut the bar bottom inserts to the right size and the assembled racks fit the car well. Seems sturdy. Attached swagman fork down racks and put bikes on and drove around some to test it out. Time will tell but this seems like a good rack for the money. 236586
Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
Looks like a very good product for my Chevy Colorado. Went on a shake down cruise with two kayaks and the rails performed very well with my Yakama kayak carriers. The only issue I had was having to adjust the post width by a centimeter or so from the printed recommendations in order to get the best fit with the rubber pads and the rooftop channels. This adjustment was also necessary to get the locking covers to close and lock. Looks like a great product I will use a lot. The quick shipping coordinated by Susan was greatly appreciated. 517056

I have attached pics of the rack attached to a 2014 F-350. I went with the 65” crossbars and they worked great! This gives me enough room to lay two kayaks flat on the bars. I would rate the Rhino Rack roof kit , etrailer site information and etrailer customer service all 5’s! Always great to deal with your company. My only recommendation would be to make it easier for customers to submit product reviews and pics. Thanks for all your assistance. 539702

I’m just going to say thank you so much for this product. Rhino Rack is a great addition to the body of my car, it looks sharp and sporty but the most important thing is that Rhino Rack gives me the strength and security I was looking to carry my bikes in a very safety way, for me and for the other drivers. This product is so easy to install,you just have to follow the instructions in the video and you will do it yourself no question about it, just like I did it myself. Rhino Rack really is what I was looking for and much more, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for your business and your out standing products. I honestly recommend Rhino Rack for everyone out there who is looking for quality products like this. 497870

Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
The roof rack kit was installed on a 2019 Honda fit. Overall the kit seems good. Not much wind noise is noticeable below 50mph. The written paper instructions were not very good or straightforward. I found vague [online] videos to be more comprehensive. The measurements provided also were off just a bit for proper fitment so fiddling back and forth tweaking the position of the legs on the bars a bunch of times made it fit properly. 695805

Review from a similar Rhino Rack DK in Roof Rack
etrailer.com's videos and additional customer support made the purchase of a Rhino Rack system from them for our 2010 Malibu a no brainer. The rack fit the car perfectly, and with the videos and clear instructions that came with the kit, I got it installed on the car with only one misstep. The instructions came the the measurements in centimeters and inches. I didn't have a metric tape measure, and ended up messing up converting fractions to decimal. My Daughter is going to college 500 miles away and is moving into an unfurnished apartment and needed to pick up some small furniture that wouldn't fit in her Malibu. She purchased several items from Facebook Marketplace and was able to transport a twin bed and mattress, a medium sized desk and some dining room chairs (in several trips) with no problems. The only thing I can think of to improve the installation would be to have the Inches measurements in decimal or to include an inexpensive metric tape. 691227

Repeat customer of Etrailer. Always great service and support. Here, acquired parts to reconfigure Rhino Racks to fit another truck after a trade. Made the switch seamlessly and racks are now mounted on the new truck. Use them to transport a racing sailing skiff that is not heavy but is bulky. They have moved the boat to regattas around the country without issue. Excellent product. 683590
