Specs:
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 vehicles with factory fixed mounting points built into the roof. The rack's Vortex Aero crossbars have built-in rubber strips that disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bars are constructed of aluminum so they won't rust. These bars blend seamlessly with the support legs to provide a from-the-factory look, and they are custom cut to your specific vehicle so they require no adjustment during installation. The legs also include built-in locks that protect your gear and the rack from theft.
The rubberized Vortex strip in the top channel of each crossbar disrupts 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 crossbars cut through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.
The ROC25 roof rack has a flush-mount design so the crossbars terminate 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.
The Vortex Aero crossbars are made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with H-shaped internal extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them 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.
The roof rack arrives at your doorstep almost completely assembled. The crossbars are already mounted into the nylon legs. And the bars are pre-cut to match the width of your vehicle's roof so you won't need to waste any time centering them. The few remaining assembly steps are straightforward and require only the vehicle-specific fit kit.
The vehicle-specific fit kit includes the tools and custom-designed hardware necessary to mount the crossbars to your roof. To install, simply attach the metal brackets, pivoting plates, and rubberized foot pads to each leg. Then secure the legs to your vehicle with the included attachment studs. The studs are designed to fit the pre-drilled holes in your vehicle's fixed mounting points. Decals inside the legs and a diagram in the instructions help you to orient the crossbars on your roof. And the foot pads are precision-molded to match the contours of your roof to provide a true custom fit.
Each 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 channels 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 channels 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 bars, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on them.
Locking covers on each support leg let you secure accessories mounted in the crossbar top channels. 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.

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.
