• Does Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Rhino Rack Roof Rack
  The Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 you referenced measure 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall. The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-11/16" tall so they will work on these bars! If you let me know the year, make and model of your vehicle I can confirm for you which Rhino Rack roof rack will fit and the parts you will need.

• Roof Rack for 2018 Chevy Equinox without Factory Raised Side Rails
  For your 2018 Chevy Equinox, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RRRVP49. This will use the factory fixed mounting points and will not use the clips that come down into the door frame. It will look like it came from the factory but you will have the T-slots and locks that would not come with a factory roof rack. I've attached the installation details to assist. If you prefer the aftermarket look while still utilizing these mounting locations, then I...

• Recommended Roof Rack For 1999 Toyota Camry With Naked Roof
  To be honest, the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack, part # SR1005 is one of our less expensive roof racks and does not come with custom brackets made specifically for your 1999 Camry as our other roof racks do. Some of the issues is that because it is a semi-custom fit, the feet do not always fit the contour of the roof. If you are planning on using the roof rack a lot I would definitely go with a custom-fit roof rack to avoid fit issues. We have not had complaints about leaking water, and...

• How Can I Tell if I have Fixed Mounting Points on My 2015 Mazda CX-5 for a Crossbar System?
  According to the specs I have, you may have fixed mounting points on those rubber strips on your 2015 Mazda CX-5. The way you can tell is if there is a small removable tab on those rails that cover the holes. I went ahead and attached a video of a 2015 Mazda CX-5 with fixed mounting points to give you perspective about what to look for. If you determine that you have fixed mounting points, I recommend the following setup: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" #...

• What Extra Straps Can I Use with My 2014 Nissan Versa Note?
  I have a solution for you. The weight of the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 7 cu ft - 55" x 19-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB200 is about 6 pounds. As far as the straps, I saw from your previous orders that you ordered Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars # RRVA118B-2 from us. Usually, the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag is made to attach to the car's factory rail system. If your vehicle has a bare roof, we do not have a way to attach the side straps to your 2014 Nissan Versa Note's doors....

• Which Roof Rack Will Allow Me To Mount 2 Yakima JayLow Kayak Carriers On My 2016 Honda Fit?
  You can mount 2 sets of the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks # Y04073 on a 46" roof rack, but it will be somewhat of a tight fit. The overall distance from one end of the JayLow to the other end is about 19", so you may have a little bit of the JayLow hanging over the crossbar legs which is fine. Most crossbars, aside from flush crossbars, have a spot (where the towers/legs are at) that you cannot clamp an accessory, but you will...

This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I also recommend the metal lock cores # RRVA-LEC4 for when you use the T-channel mounting for accessories that have that mount that fits in the slot on top of your crossbars instead of wrapping around them. Then for your rooftop cargo carrier, I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo...

  In order to fit three kayaks on the roof of your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, you will first need a roof rack. In order to recommend one I would need to know if you have a bare roof with fixed mounting points or factory raised side rails.

• Best Roof Rack for a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek to Keep a Low Profile
  It looks like there are some videos online of people removing the roof rails from Subaru Crosstreks, but it's not something I recommend doing. The racks that we have available for the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek are designed with the rails in mind. We don't have any that are made for this vehicle without rails. That having been said, we do have an option that is designed with a low profile in mind. It's the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar, part # JA7973. This set wraps around the rails instead...

  The SportRack # SR1002 is a Semi-Custom roof rack. It will fit your 2009 Chevrolet Malibu and will work if you are looking for the most cost-effective option out there. If you plan on using the roof rack frequently though I highly recommend going with a custom roof rack for your Malibu.

• What Rear-Loading Kayak Will Work for My Tandem Hobie Kayak that Weighs 99 Pounds?
  I went ahead and called my contact at Rhino-Rack, and they confirmed that the Nautic 581 carrier # RR581 has a maximum weight rating that is the same as the roof rack system that you mount it on. Most of the time, roof racks are rated above 99 pounds. However, if you want to be sure about the weight capacity, I recommend the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091. The BigCatch has an impressive maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds, which is plenty of capacity to accomodate...

For example, the Rhino Rack that consists of Aero cross bars # RRVA118B-2, legs # RRRLKVA and fit kit # DK046 have a 110 lb capacity if installed on a '17 Fiesta that is a 5-door hatchback but the same rack has a 165 lb capacity if installed on a '17 Fiesta that is a 4-door Sedan.

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Cube and Buick Verana and Bike Rack, Kayak Carrier and Box
  The closest option for a roof rack that fits both your 2013 Buick Verano and Nissan Cube will be a Rhino Rack Vortex rack that allows you to use the same foot kit between the two part # RRRLKVA but the bar lengths and fit kits are different for each vehicle. The Verano needs the shorter bar length of # RRVA118B-2 and the Cube needs the longer # RRVA137S-2. The Verano needs the fit kit # DK340 and the Cube needs the fit kit # DK263. For kayak carriers the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 is...

• Roof Rack Tracks & Basket That is Heavy Duty
  Hi Morris, While there isn't anything specific to your 2022 Roxor, there are rivet-mounted tracks you can add. I'm not sure the length you need, but the shortest available is the 36-1/4" long Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RRRTS540. Then you'd need a roof rack that fits the tracks, and for that you would add the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600. To complete the rack set up you'd need crossbars, with the right length depending on the width of your roof/cab enclosure. You...

  Hey Dennis, The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 is good for first timer, limited-use applications.

• Roof Rack Fit for 2013 Volkswagen Touareg With Roof Rails and Sun Roof
  There is definitely a solution for you, though it could be that you have a sun roof and not a moon roof. This matters in terms of fit, because a moon roof slides into a cavity in the roof and does not extend above it, while a sun roof generally does extend above it. Due to this, the rack you mentioned, Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, would not work for your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg because the rack should not be used with vehicles that have a sun roof. Additionally, each of the Yakima...

  When we installed the Rhino-Rack Vortex System, parts # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, on a 2022 Volkswagen Taos with raised rails we found the clearance from the roof to the bottom of the crossbars to be 1-3/4". This isn't a ton of space but from my experience glass roof systems don't tend to raise up very much so you may still be able to open up the panoramic roof with this roof rack installed. It's always worth noting that opening up a glass roof with a roof rack installed will alter the...

• Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit on 2017 VW Golf Alltrack with Panoramic Roof

The risk typically comes into play not from the rack itself, but from the attachment mechanism for accessories mounted on the roof rack, but because replacing a broken roof is expensive, they just state that the roof shouldn't be used...

• Comparing Rhino Rack and Thule Roof Racks for 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
  Rhino Rack is right on par with the quality of Thule. I would not say one is better made than the other at all.

Ease of install is the same too so the Rhino Rack is the route I recommend the most.

• Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, Basket, and Cargo Bag for 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan with Side Rails
  Roof rack manufacturers universal agree that you should not open the panoramic roof on your 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan with the crossbars installed.

With that said on the Rhino-Rack roof rack bars # RRVA118B-2 and feet # RRSX022 the bottoms of the bars will be approximately 1 inch up from the tops of the...
