The low-profile, aerodynamic Rhino-Rack ROC25 roof rack lets you carry gear and accessories on your vehicle's roof quietly and with little wind drag. It's designed for installation on a naked roof (a roof without factory raised side rails, flush rails, fixed mounting points, tracks, or rain gutters). The rack's Vortex Aero crossbar has built-in rubber strips that disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bar is constructed of aluminum so it won't rust. This bar blends seamlessly with the support legs to provide a from-the-factory look, and it is custom cut to your specific vehicle so it requires no adjustment during installation. The legs also include built-in locks that protect your gear and the rack from theft.


Aerodynamic Design

The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of the crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbar cuts through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.


The ROC25 roof rack has a flush-mount design so the crossbar terminates at the legs with no overhang. This provides the rack with a seamless, from-the-factory look, and it also helps to improve aerodynamics by reducing drag and wind noise.


Strong, Durable Construction

Rhino-Rack Vortex H-shaped extrusion

The Vortex Aero crossbar is made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with an H-shaped internal extrusion. This extrusion strengthens the bar without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bar won't rust so you can leave it on your roof year-round.


The rack's durable, glass-reinforced nylon legs are designed to stand up to cargo loads and weather extremes. They're also UV treated to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight.


Custom Fit for Easy Installation

The roof rack arrives at your doorstep almost completely assembled. The crossbar is already mounted into the nylon legs. And the bar is pre-cut to match the width of your vehicle's roof, so you won't need to waste any time centering it. The few remaining assembly steps are straightforward and require only the vehicle-specific fit kit.


The vehicle-specific fit kit includes pads and clamps specifically designed to fit the contours of your roof. To install, simply attach the pivoting plates and rubberized pads to the bottom of each leg. Then secure the legs to your vehicle with the metal clamps. Decals inside the legs and a diagram in the instructions help you to orient the crossbar on your roof.


Once the crossbar is properly positioned, use the included Allen key to tighten it in place. The Allen key is designed to serve as a simple torque wrench. The curve in the blue plastic handle straightens when you've applied enough torque to each bolt.


Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories

The crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channel come in 3 pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.


You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bar, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on it.


Built-In Security

Locking covers on each support leg let you secure accessories mounted in the crossbar top channel. These sturdy nylon covers give the rack a finished look and also help secure the rack to your roof. The cover locks are keyed alike, so a single key opens all locks.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Volkswagen Passat SE Sedan Naked Roof
    I personally like the Yakima roof rack systems over the Rhino-Rack roof racks because they are a higher quality, you don't have to cut the rubber strip in the top for T-Slot accessories, and Yakima has adjustments in the leg kits that help to fine-tune their fits. With that being said, if you like the look of the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR72MR a little more for your 2015 Volkswagen Passat SE then there is absolutely nothing wrong with going that route and you will be happy with the...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for a 2017 Volkswagen Passat
    The Rhino-Rack ROC 25 Roof Rack # RR37TR isn't a fit for your 2017 Volkswagen Passat but the part # RR72MR is. This is the exact same system, just with the correct equipment for a custom fit. This includes the 2 crossbars and legs for holding them as well as the fit kit which attaches to the legs and clamps around your door jambs to secure the roof rack. If you let me know what you will be using the roof rack for I can make some additional recommendations as well.

This will provide you with a quiet, aerodynamic roof rack that features a sleek, OEM look and a weight capacity of 165 pounds. All of the hardware necessary for the simple clamp-on installation is included. I have attached a short video demonstration on this roof rack, along...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 10 Foot Sit-In Kayak on a 2012 Volkswagen Passat SE
    I do have a solution for you, but I wish there was a way to transport your kayak with a hitch mounted bike rack. Currently, none of our manufactures have come up with a way to do so; which means we will need to outfit your Passat with a roof rack and kayak carrier. The roof rack for your 4-door 2012 VW Passat SE, I recommend is the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack # RR72MR. For your 10 Foot Sit in Kayak, I recommend the Rhino Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512. This rack will securely...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Volkswagen Passat 4-Door with Bare Roof
    We have roof racks confirmed to fit the 2017 Volkswagen Passat 4-door with bare roof from many brands including Thule, Yakima and Rhino-Rack. These fall into different price ranges and offer varying weight capacities. The options also include different bar shapes, some of which provide quieter performance than others, as well as color options. You can see them all on the linked page. Many customers prefer a black roof rack since this often provides more of an OEM-like appearance. Some...
