Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount - Black - 54" Bars

Very nice rack package. Everything was complete, and install was easy 4/10. I had used another review for the hole spacing, as it was easier. Holes at each end 5/8 in then at 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, for a total of 8 on each rail. I bought the heavy duty set, that’s why there’s 8. The standard has only 6/rail. I marked a centerline on the cap, and put the rails at 36” on center. I used painters tape to be sure they were straight. I also measured , and laid out the holes on the cap and drilled a SINGLE HOLE at the 36” mark. Then verified that the end holes would hit the reinforced portion of my ARE cap. Once that was verified, I drilled the rest of the holes. Because of the camber of the cap, a second person is helpful (holding the rail tight to the cap) when tightening up the nuts from inside the cap. After that, the rest was easy. Just center the rail mounts and lock them in. I would definitely recommend this rack set up, Especially since it was half of what my local Yakima dealer quoted me.
This was installed on a 2016 Silverado, 2500.
Tools used- Tape measure, grease pencil, painters tape, 1/4” drill bit and Cordless drill.1131296

I ordered this Rhino Rack Aero bar package for my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500, 6.5’ bed with ARE camper shell. The order was shipped very quickly and arrived ahead of the original estimated delivery date. I installed this on my camper shell with no problems. I am very OCD about my truck being clean and things lining up properly and evenly, so I spent a bit of extra time measuring and adjusting and measuring and adjusting to make sure it was precise, so the overall install for me took about 3 hours. But I thought that wasn’t too bad. Overall, I am very pleased with the ordering, shipping and product itself so far. Can’t evaluate actually putting anything on it yet as I have not done so yet, but it feels very solid and well made.1431983

THE GENIUS OF A PERFECT SOLUTION

It is not very often that a purchase for something as mundane as a utility device stirs such awe inspired appreciation and praise. I have just completed the installation of the RLCP Rhino Heavy Duty Canopy/Hard Tonneau Track Mount atop my A.R.E. Camper Shell. I am amazed at the attention to detail of each and every part which has been carefully engineered and perfectly manufactured.
I am truly impressed by the genius of a perfect solution to my roof top cargo handling needs! From the mating surfaces of the injection molded towers and the lightweight, but durable extruded anodized aluminum crossbars, to the gentle contour of the rail stock to the camper rooftop, every single part has form, fit and function! The finished product is beautiful, durable, convenient, and for the money invested, economical. I give Five Stars of Praise to the Aussie friends at Rhino-Rack Australia Pty, Ltd.
Equally praiseworthy is the superb performance of e-trailers, Inc. These folks distinguish themselves from the competition through their superior attributes of website presentation, pricing, order fulfillment and package integrity. This is a unique distribution partnership which is imbued with the highest standards of e-commerce.

Job well done, everyone!

Quiet rack on the highway. I cut my rails to fit a camper shell, it was easy and finished well. The standard (plastic) end cap locks don't work well on the Aero bars, two of four can be removed easily with less than 10 pounds of force, looks like an alignment issue. Overall a quality product, probably should pay for the metal lock cores for the covers. It's a bit heavier than other racks. I'm pleased with the result so far. Will update after some serious use.1365506

Having owned an etrailer rack for a year, I can say several things with certainty. 1–the materials are 1st rate—some companies skimp—Etrailer doesn’t. 2-The design of the product makes for a sturdy, reliable rack—worry-free comes to mind. Finally, etrailer employs knowledgeable, courteous people. I will buy from them again.1371378

My experience getting the correct parts to complete the install of the racks was terrible. I should have known when the delivered box was completely open on one end. After inventorying the parts, I started installing the rack. It was obvious that the parts for the rack were not correct, and incompatible. The instruction sheets were for a different rack! It took roughly 6 months back and force emails, pictures and parts shipments to actually make it work. I cannot imagine paying the money for a new rack, and having to go thought this amount of trouble and time to be able to use it. I have purchased items from etrailer before and had a positive experience.1370993

kit was missing parts. It took several months to get the missing hardware. The roof rack is nice though. Poor customer service.1403511

The rail kit for fiberglass truck caps arrived promptly and was as described on the website. Reasonably easy to install and easily as good as Thule and Yakima racks for half the money. My only minor quibble is a couple of small scratches on a crossbar. However, since it's sure to get scratches from normal use is not a big deal. It'll be used to mount an awning and extra gear for group camping trips.485649

I'm impressed with the quality and strength of this rack. It fits well and looks great on my '04 Toyota Tacoma ARE cap.1388990

The rack looks good, It went on in about an hour and a half. I would have appreciated some guidance as to the best place to fasten the rails to a topper and how best to deal with a roof with a slight arch. I looked on your website for a video or something and didn't find anything. Hopefully, I mounted the rails to the right area on the topper.1290678

Installed on 2014 F-150 w/ fiberglass topper. Almost downgraded kit a star because of the instructions... incomplete and some important errors... so do the math and don't trust the indicated 5-5/8" spacing for drilling the mounting holes... you'll end up w/ extra holes you'll need to go back and fill... recommend keeping it simple, two are 5/8" in from both ends, and then just mark at 9", 18", 27", 36", 45" and 54" for the other six hole, from either end. There are eight bolts for each side, but only six rubber grommets, had to presume since the two end ones go thru the rubber end cap they didn't need/get a grommet. Did it by myself; definitely recommend a second pair of hands to at least hold the other end the rail during marking, a helper would have made installation a whole lot simpler and faster. But the end results make it all worthwhile.730049

I have to give a big thank you shout out to eTrailer for the products they carry and the service they provide. When I fist received the track set there were some issues, but the service department dealt with their vender and resolved the situation very quickly and exceeded expectations!1282468

The final installed product is great. Install took a couple of hours. Th main slow down was the rails mounted to the roof of my truck camper were too long so I needed to cut them down to size. Also the assembly for mounting the cross bars has a lot of small screws and locks. I took my time and the final results are great.1236022

Equally as good or even better than Yakima, or Thule racks!1269989

Overall I’m very pleased. The rack and track components are all very high quality. Hardware too. My only complaint is that the installation instructions are not very good.
1-all the measurements are given in millimeters. Why?
2-there’s no mention in the instructions to leave the o ring off of the T bots on the ends. The t bolts on the ends have to be inserted in to the track end caps. The track end cap then becomes the seal for those holes. If you have the o rings on them too, the the track will not pull down flat on to the camper top.
3-the leg hardware needs partially assembled (screws, washers, hex nuts) and then the assembly slid on to the cross bars, then place the legs in to the mounting plates. Then fully tighten the screws. You’ll never get the screws started in to the hex nuts otherwise.
4-the vortex rubber strips are in short pieces. Why? I think they’d be better if they were one long piece.

Also, when installing the tracks, I found it easier to find the center of the camper top and work from that for placement of tracks. It’s very difficult to get good accurate measurements on the curved edges of camper top.1144222

Very happy with my roof rack. Sturdy, strong, no paint chips, no rust, no issues whatsoever!1182434

I love the roof rack and use it often...from carrying kayaks, etc....to loading lumber. It was a great purchase and a compliment to the truck topper.1061660

Very impressed with this system: quality materials, nicely-designed parts that work well together, straightforward installation & assembly, plus it includes o-rings for the bolts & butyl patches to surround the drilled holes, so waterproofing has already been addressed (no need to add your own silicone or otherwise). Once the holes are drilled in the topper, the rack goes together quickly & easily. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to add tracks & crossbars to their fiberglass cap/topper.639013

fit perfectly and looks great. ready to surf this summer1300476

Received very fast! Unmatched customer service! Pricing on items is not always the lowest but customer service makes up for the prices.1181354

My product arrived promptly and in good order. I appreciate the clear written instructions provided by etrailer. More importantly, I plan to follow the step-by-step instructional video that etrailer has posted on YouTube. I have confidence that the install will go smoothly with such great support!664360
