The Vortex Aero crossbars use a slim, elliptical shape and built-in rubberized Vortex strips to cut down on wind noise and drag. The evenly spaced grooves in the strips break up airflow, so you don’t get that constant whistling sound at highway speeds. You don’t need to add a fairing, and you’ll notice how much quieter your ride feels even when the roof is loaded up.
These bars finish flush with the legs for a smooth, from-the-factory appearance. Nothing sticks out past the sides, giving the whole setup a clean, aerodynamic profile that looks like it belongs there. It keeps the style neat while also helping airflow move more easily over the roof.
The crossbars are made from lightweight, structural-grade anodized aluminum with internal H-shaped extrusions for extra strength. They won’t rust or corrode, so it’s a system you can leave in place year-round. The UV-treated, glass-reinforced nylon legs stand up to weather exposure and heavy use on long trips without fading or failing.

This rack shows up nearly ready to go, with crossbars already connected to the legs and pre-cut to match your roof width. The included fit kit has brackets, rubberized foot pads, and tools that make bolt-on installation straightforward. Decals and diagrams guide you through placement so everything lines up cleanly without guesswork.
Each bar includes a built-in C-channel for mounting channel-style carriers like bike racks, watersport cradles, or ski holders. The three-piece Vortex strips make it easy to slide mounts into place without cutting full-length rubber inserts. You can also attach clamp-on accessories directly on top—the rubber strips cushion them and keep gear steady on every drive.
Ratings & Reviews
Very easy to install and a perfect fit for my vehicle
The only thing missing was a metric wrench to tighten it down. I had a hard time finding this product in stock at other stores so very pleased you had it
Worked-a little complicated! But Engineer got er done!
Worked as described
Couldn’t be easier to install. No cutting or measuring with fixed attach points. Would buy again when needed.
This was pretty difficult to install, and it doesn't seat really well on the car. However, it is SOLID. It doesn't wiggle and it is very secure.
Super fast shipping and the lowest price I could find. Plus they were actually in stock not drop shipped in 2 weeks.
The roof rack arrived in good condition but was missing critical parts and Instalation instructions. I am currently in communication with the distributor, working to resolve the issues.
I wanted to submit a review and pictures.
This fit my 2015 Tesla Model S beautifully, and it was so easy to install!
I'll try to get better pictures. We could open the panorama glass roof too.
Way better than the Yakima one from REI which hung of the sides of the vehicle 4 to 5 inches and the Tesla one that required a vehicle retrofit of 1500$!
We took a chance on this since the 2015 was not a confirmed fit, however as you can see, it is perfect.
Works good, the mounting post bolts could have been a 1/4” longer for easier figment for the base towers to mount easier. I would recommend getting the Yakima system over Rhino Rack due to the mounting to the fixed mounts is much more simpler and 10 times easier without tools. Rhino Rack includes tools for mounting and very vague directions. The aero bars also have a rubber strip that is 100 times more difficult to install then Yakima’s and why wouldn’t it come installed already. This will probably be my last time to buy a rhino rack roof rack.
everything looked good! the box was damaged to where parts could have fallen out of the internal box that’s the reason why i rated it 4 stars. but everything fortunately was there and looks great!
Excellent product and fit. shipped fast and great service. The instructions could have been better but I figured it out by watching [online] videos. This is my second order from etrailer. Will be back.
The cross bars are nice however the fixed mount points and hardware supplied sit to high so the molding for the feet are to short and leave the mounting points somewhat exposed. Also the car paint made the fixed point mount screws difficult to install. If using fixed point mounts, I suggest getting a grade 8 bolt or a tap to clean the mounting points prior to trying to install the mounting screws.
I just installed a Rhino Roof Rack (ROC25) on my 2015 BMW 4 door sedan (BMW 328 d). It’s a very sturdy rack. It also looks great! I plan to use it for hauling 2 kayaks. I haven’t yet loaded it up. I’ll do that next within the next couple of weeks. Send me another review form in aa out a month.
Love this roof rack! It came with the factory setup and the fit kit for my Impreza. It was a little confusing at first because you have to remove some of the factory stuff first but once we figured that out it was easy. Love the look and durability. My rooftop tent is on it now and I'm very happy!
Very strong roof rack it’s fits perfectly from my 2014 Mazda5. One thing I would love to share. I have a problem with the installation. I went to the etrailer for help. They were very nice to help me install the rack correctly. Thank you again.
