Today, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars, part number RB1375. The Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars are a great solution for your Rhino-Rack roof-mounted accessories, as well as anything you might need for your job site. The C-channel allows you to mount any Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty channel-mounted accessory into your vehicle's roof. It's also easy to remove and replace, as well as cut, to accommodate different accessories that you may have on your roof. It provides a nice cushion, as well as slip resistance for your accessories. The heavy-duty crossbars are made out of a lightweight, structural-grade material, so they are strong and durable.
The channel along the bottom of our crossbar can be used with the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Legs. Now, you want to be sure to check your vehicle's owner's manual for the weight capacity of your roof. These also come in a quantity of 2, and have a limited lifetime warranty. Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get these installed. Now, we're using the heavy-duty crossbars on our 2015 Ford Transit Connect, and we're also using it in conjunction with foot pack number RRRLKHD, and with fit kit number DK417. Now, our crossbar comes with the crossbar, the weather strip, and 2 end caps.
We'll start by putting our foot pack together. We're going to take our bottom piece here and insert the rubber. We'll pop it back on, we'll flip it over, and secure our clamp using this bolt here. Now we'll flip our crossbar over, and slide our foot pack onto the crossbar. Now we can measure out the distance between our 2 foot packs.
With those in place, we can use our Rhino-Rack tool and tighten the bolt down. Now we can take our crossbar and we'll load it up onto our vehicle. Next, we'll do our measurement for the crossbar spread from the center of the front foot pack to the center of the back. Now, once we have our crossbar set in place according to the measurement in our instructions, we'll start to tighten these down. Now, this Rhino-Rack tool is included with our foot pack. We'll use that to just tighten down our clamp.
Now, we'll start to tighten these down, just getting our clamps snug against the door frame. Now we'll go back and forth from each side, tightening it down until our torque tool's completely straight here on this side. We want to make sure we do this evenly so that we don't have the crossbar pulling to one side or the other. Now, we've got both sides tightened down, we can place on our end caps for both our crossbars and our foot pack. We also have the option to lock our foot pack covers to provide more security against theft and tampering. Now we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road. That's going to be our completed look at the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars, part number RB1375.

Durable nylon legs with built-in locks help mount Heavy-Duty crossbars to your vehicle's naked roof or fixed mounting points. Leg bases pivot to level bars on your roof. Pair with 2 crossbars and fit kit to create complete roof rack.Two items I received surprised me when I unpacked the box were the rails because they were not black like I saw in the picture, and the rubber insert that I am having a hard time sliding in the rail. Should this rubber insert have come already installed in the rail or is there a top on how to put in with ease? 460445

This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks. 338883
Work great and leave no marks on vehicle 891713
I was in a roof rack jam. There was a national shortage of the rack I needed for my car and our summer vacation was a week away. I went to etrailer.com when I couldnt find the roof rack anywhere else on the web. Another website actually suggested that they might have what I needed. I spoke to Ashley E on the phone to make sure that I was picking the right parts. Ashley was very helpful and knowledgable. She helped me find the right roof rack and made sure that I received it in record time. I am a customer for life!!! 860004
Sturdy material and easy to install with a combination of YouTube and the provided paperwork! 815964
work great 807116
Well engineered rack that fits my Ram 2500 crew cab well. A bit of wind noise at highway speeds. I have the heavy duty cross pieces with a square cross section. 664131
Easy to assemble and works great. The rack is very solid. 591477
This is an excellent product. It was the only product that would fit my truck. I was able to mount it by myself, it took me longer than I thought it would, but it helps if you watch first a video on line about how to put it together. The support staff is excellent if you miss any parts. I highly recommend it for the 2015 Nissan Rogue. Andrei 569596
Once installed they seem sturdy and look good. One of the end caps was damaged in shipping but otherwise everything was good 568687
This is my second Rhino-Rack. They go on very easily and hold the bikes/kayaks and even an extension ladder very well....thanks for a great product 553509
Love the roof rack! Works great for ka yaks! 516524
Great product and great customer service.very easy to put together and install, although the measurements are a little crazy. 33/64. It’s impossible to be this precise. Love the product though 516134
Paul - 06/02/2019This rack worked out great... I installed in on a 2017 Ford F-150. We drove 6 hrs through wind and rain with a SUP and Tandem Kayak on top. It really took a beating in a storm the whole way. One bracket was a little loose and shifted because of the wind on the Kayak, but it held together. Super happy with Rhino rack! 515812
Easy to assemble and install. Vibrates a bit driving and worse with a head wind. Overall happy with my purchase 484787
Items came quickly and fit truck perfect (Ram 2500) 481580
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short 413641
Ordered a Rhino Rack for my 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Rack arrived in very good shape and all items were there. Installing at this time and see no problems ahead. 190379
