Evangeline: Hi, it's Evangeline from etrailer.com and today we are looking at our Inno Roof Rack system consisting of Inno Aero Crossbars, Inno Through Feet and our Inno Fit Kit for our 2014 Toyota Prius. We have here the Aero crossbars and other than this nice aesthetically pleasing silver stripe here, these are well-designed crossbars. We make sure to have them with the wide part facing the front so that they really reduce the drag and the noise. They're also a bit shorter than maybe your other Aero crossbars, which I like because then they help with fitting other accessories on top of them. The Through Feet come with keys so we can be locked and this help secure your roof rack to your car just to prevent or deter theft. And these are also your little bit low profile feet here on your car.
And from the roof to the top of the bars it is four and a little over a half inches.Since our car has a naked roof, we do use the naked roof fit kit. So what this does is it just clamps onto your car and if you are worried about it protruding out too much, don't worry. If you install it correctly, since it's custom fit to contour against your car, you can even slam the door on it without worrying about it. It has a weight rating of 165 pounds. But when you are, especially when you're putting accessories on it or mounting things onto your roof rack, make sure to account the roof capacity of your car so that you're not overloading it.
So with all that, let's see exactly how we install this roof rack.When installing our roof rack system, well I already installed the rear bar, so we can install the front bars together. The first thing I like to do is get our silver piece here and put it on our crossbars. So we have this upside down. So you bring this in through the bottom and there's this little ledge on there that it clips onto. With this attached you can then pull it in towards the inside.
There's a little button you have to push first to get it all the way through. So that silver plate is at the very end. And from here you can attach the tower. To attach the tower, there are some clips here. And make sure that the screw is centered on top of your plate.
And with it on top of there you can then push it out. And that's in place now. From here you then attach the pad. So this . If you know it's centered . You know it's on right if it sits flush against your tower. Just like that, you just push it in.Then you can attach a hook. And to attach the hook you take out the screw. So just loosen the screw all the way until it comes out. Just like that. You put the hook in there and you screw it back on lightly. So just to make sure it's just tight enough to hold onto your tower. With the towers attached, you can then measure it to make sure it's the correct distance apart. For our front crossbars they have to be 20-1/2" from the center point. So the next thing is there's a center point here. So we just need to measure it from there. And you measure to the line on the towers, right at the middle. So 20-1/2. I just need to bring this forward a little bit right there. That looks pretty good. When you have it measured and out to the correct spot, you can then tighten down both towers. Tighten them down here in the middle.I recommend getting another set of hands just to grab the other end of the bar while you put it up there. Make sure that the tall part of the bar is facing the front. Make sure to follow the measurements in the instructions for your car. So here on our Prius we have it 2" from the door. And when you have it lined up, we can then tighten down the hook. Now this is a torque wrench, so make sure to tighten it down until you hear it click. What I recommend also is to equally tighten both sides. So tighten it down a little bit here, then go on the other side just to make sure that it's spaced even. And the final touch is just to put the caps onto your bars and your towers. So these are nice because they lock. So when you have them in there, you can then lock them in space with the keys.So my final thoughts about this roof rack is, I do like the Inno style. I do like how the bars, the arrow bars, are a bit more aerodynamic or feel a lot more profile than maybe your larger Thule WingBars or your other bars from other brands. So I think it's a good looking roof rack. It has a decent weight capacity. We have some overhang here as well with these size bars. This switch adds a nice look to our whole vehicle. And that was a look at our Inno Roof Rack system with our Inno Aero Crossbars, our Through Feet and our Fit Kit on our 2014 Toyota Prius V.

Low-profile, aerodynamic crossbar lets you build an aftermarket roof rack for your vehicle. Aluminum bar has a T-slot that lets you mount channel-mounted carriers and accessories. Rubber strip in T-slot keeps out dirt and won't need trimming.Noisy driving down the road. The whistle driving at 60mph is ridiculous and the best part, you can’t even exchange them! Thank you for making me look elsewhere for anything that you sell.
Installation went pretty smoothly. The trick is to fully understand each step before moving to the next. There are a lot of small parts which at first was a little intimidating, but soon I was able to "get with it". I love the finished product and think you helped me get a good deal. Thank you for that
Great fit for my 2023 4Runner and looks amazing.
I was concerned that other brands that clamp to the existing roof rails could pop-off from upward forces due to bumps/wind (I have 2 17’ sea kayaks) - these INNO clamps have a strap that securely holds the bars in place.
Perfect height to be able to get straps/clamps under the bars, but low enough to keep them from hitting my garage door opening.
Great quality and super easy to install.
Installation was a little tricky but once the "feet" were attached to the roof and the bars properly spaced, everything wrapped up very well.
There is no noticeable wind noise with these installed.
One was extremely hard to get on compared to the others (not sure if it was rough machining or something), but once it was on, all was good.
These crossbars are awesome!
Easy install on 2021 4runner off road premium. Looks clean, matchs blacked out on white, eadges of chrome cap matches mirror accents and tail lights. Etrailer video was simple to follow. What it didn't show was the foam rubber strips that you put on under the t tracks slot. With cover off and top most flat part of clamp to edge of bar measures about 5.5inches. Make sure the clamp is flush with bar when you measure. Overall looks good
We recently purchased 2 kayaks & Thule roof racks from our local outdoor store.
After waiting 2 weeks for our roof racks and J bars to come in we found that the Thule racks did not fit our 2017 Lincoln MKX and they didn't make any racks that would. The vehicle does not have roof racks and has a moon roof.
After a couple of days searching the internet we discovered etrailer.com. We found the Inno roof racks, but still was not sure they would work. We spoke to a repesenative and he assured us that the racks we chose would fit and the Thule J bars we did return would also work. As you can see by the photos 2 days later we were happy Kayakers.
This kit does not fit well. All measurements have been double and triple checked down to the millimeter. The lock on the covers interfere with the hooks. You have to apply so much pressure to get it to close that it makes the rack come loose. Not very satisfied
Racks were perfect for my Acura MDX. They fit like a glove and I have used them several times.
I bought these as part of a kit with 60" Aero bars and the appropriate kit for my 14 Flex. I spent probably an hour and a half double checking my measurements and getting them torqued down properly. I spaced the bars on top of the car just a little wider than proscribed because I was planning on carrying 4x8 plywood, and it looked better to my eye. One thing to watch for: The instructions for the car-specific kit (in my case INK263) show the foot spacing measurements for a square bar, and the measuring point for these feet and Aero bars is different. That measurement point is indicated in the instructions for the feet, not the kit. Same numbers, just different reference point. Otherwise, they look good and are rock solid.
I did a lot of searching before selecting this rack for my Durango RT (no factory roof rails). It is easy to reinstall once the initial process is followed, I marked my doorjambs with a sharpie and it is easy to set up. Great product!
Well made product with durable components. Fit was good and assembly pretty easy. I would recommend this product.
worked as expected, I used them to carry my hobie outback kayak (about 100lbs) on my Honda Civic 2016 Coupe (2 doors). They worked with no problem so far (1 year) even under high speed like 70mph.
Definite five star….having all glass roof we were handled super, guided from phone to delivery , video to guide are installing, quality product thank you we’ll be back
Great racks. High quality parts. Fit perfectly. Went together easily.
Has worked great for transporting my fishing Kayak as well as small loads of lumber. It has worked fine for about a dozen and a half boards at a time or a couple of sheets of plywood. Just make sure that you have a good way to strap them down as well as maybe a rubber mat to help hold everything in place. The noise from it on the high way can be a lot but certainly not as bad as some that I have heard. I figure that anything on the outside of a vehicle like that will produce some noise.
High quality metal. Aerodynamic shape - I could not hear ANY wind noise being generated.
These worked out perfectly!
We have a 2014 Toyota Prius V wagon, and went with the INNO rack. great! can't hear a thing on the highway.
Started assembly last summer and finally completed installation this spring. Directions took a lot of attention to detail but were adequate. Rack went on car securely and looks great. Have attached kayak rack and a roof pod and both worked flawlessly. Would definitely recommend.
I have had countless bike racks over the years and this is by far the best system I have ever had. Fits like a glove on my F150. Easy to install, looks great and the bikes do not move when on the roof.
I’ve had the system in place for over a year now and haul dual kayaks often! I love it! The only thing I wish I could change is the wind noise that’s comes with it. But I’m sure with any rook rack system you get that.
Noticed box was taped up more then usual, found other manuals that was not specifically for this, and also found one of the feet already had been mounted as there was scratches on the plastic and metal parts
Installation went pretty smoothly. The trick is to fully understand each step before moving to the next. There are a lot of small parts which at first was a little intimidating, but soon I was able to "get with it". I love the finished product and think you helped me get a good deal. Thank you for that
This kit was installed on my 2012 Prius V. I've used it to carry bikes with a cheap bike mount from [online]. They have work well for that purpose. The feet and anchors feel very well built.
