I installed the Rhino-Rack 570 on a Toyota 4Runner with Toyota factory crossbars. The saddles fit well and are used to carry a 10'3" sit-on-top fishing kayak using the four included straps.

After attempting to mount the individual rack pieces using the “burglar proof” button head screws with the pin in the recess and the short hex wrench with the hollowed out end I discovered that no real burglar would want the rack but would rather have the kayak so the first thing I did after spending 10 minutes trying to insert the hex into the button head screws with the pin inside the recess and attempting to turn the bolts and continually being obstructed by the support pieces and the paint interference on the bolt heads with trying to get the wrench into the recess I knew it was going to be a long frustrating process so I threw them away and purchased new button head stainless steel bolts and a 4mm extended handle hex wrench to turn them. Smartest thing I ever did. You not only have to mount the rack initially but then you have to put the kayak on the roof and remount all pieces again to fit your boat. All kayaks are different to one degree or another. Having to move the individual support and retighten them with the boat on the rack is even more difficult to do than the initial mounting with these “burglar proof” bolts and hex wrench and you will be happy you threw them away before you started the entire process. Try it for yourself at first and then go get the alternate ones. Worth the little investment and stainless steel will not rust away when you want to remove the rack system in the future.
Once the rack is on your vehicle and kayak in rack the tie downs supplied are very good quality. Make sure you use the recommended tie down locations and directions, two kayak body ties and ties at front and rear.
Due to numerous kayak hull designs it would be nice to have each support pod have a horizontal swivel built into it so it readily conforms to the hull shape.
The overall quality of the system should be the last rack you will have to purchase. I only had issues with the supplied bolts and hex wrench.
I gave this rack system a three star because of the bolts and hex tool and the individual pods not swiveling and I haven't at this point transported the kayak anywhere so I am waiting to see how it handles long trips with wind loads and constant loading and unloading performances.
by: Barry07/06/2019
I love these kayak racks. Just got my second pair because I loved the first set so much. The straps are much better than most. They give you plenty of length. I cut mine to fit my needs because there was a lot of excess. Installation was easy with the provided hardware. Thanks Rhino Rack for such a great, well thought out product.
by: Cristopher06/18/2023
Easy to install and use. Very affordable compared to Yakima Sweetroll. I 100% recommend it!
by: Steven 05/08/2023
I haven't used the rack yet, but they installed quickly and seem as though they will support the kayak very well. I like how the mount flips outward to aid loading a kayak, simple but cool design.
by: Kevin B.07/13/2020
I have a pretty big kayak to begin with, it holds it perfectly. Recently , i strapped a smaller kayak on top of mine. I was expecting the worst on this trip. But did not have a problem at all. Quality product.

Love the product. Can't wait to take our new tandem kayak out.
etrailer is fast, efficient and has great prices. I'm also a fan of their efforts to provide good customer service by seeking customer feedback.

Exactly what was needed for my rack to secure SUPand prevent it sliding
by: James01/24/2019
The carrier generally works well and I like that you can flip the carrier toward you if putting the kayak up from the side of the vehicle and then flip kayak and carrier to the mounted position.
It's more difficult to mount the kayak from the rear of the vehicle. The carrier's rubber surface does not allow an easy slide up from rear to front, at least not for a fiberglass/gel coat hull. I actually installed two felt pads on the rear carrier to allow me to slide the kayak forward and this seems to work.
Otherwise the carrier works well.
Comments
The rack attaches to the cross bars with Allen head type screws. This is no problem if you leave the rack on the crossbars but can be difficult if you frequently remove the rack.
Jim H - 01/25/2020by: Holly West06/02/2017
These racks were super easy to assemble! My only complaint was that the measurements were off for my body style. Instructions had specs and measurements for a 2015 fit, but I have a 2017 Fit EX. This was fixable, I just added 2cm to each side when installing the crossbars to the legs, and it fit my roof perfectly.
by: DJ08/14/2022
This carrier is super easy to use. The kayak slides right into place without much manipulation. Would have given it 5 stars if it had knobs or clamps to tighten it in instead of just screws and an Allen wrench. The screws are mostly rounded now due to the clumsy Allen wrench and the awkward angle of the screws. This carrier will not attach and detach from the crossbars easily or fast.
by: John 07/23/2022
This Rhino Nautical Roof Kayak Carrier System is easy to install and a Great Addition to the Rhino Roof Rack. It makes it easy to Load and Transport any Kayak, Paddle Board, or Boat. I Highly Recommend this Product.
by: Jason05/22/2019
I thought I ordered the RR580 which locks into the channel. I am pleased with the RR570, seems very sturdy and holds my kayak very well. Also they make ZERO noise even at highway speeds!
by: David07/08/2019
This is a very sturdy rack. It fits great on my car and it's easy to use.
My only issue was with the original installation. The instructions had an error with the placement of the rack feet on the crossbar. I used the dimensions given in the manual but they were off by 10 cm. I had to adjust the feet in 10 cm on each side of the crassbar for the feet to sit correctly on the roof of my car. A very minor issue.
Overall, a great rack system. The single kayak kit was easy to install and works like a charm.
Thanks Rhino Racks!!!!!
by: David10/03/2020
All Rhino-Rack products were excellent. But I was afraid to tighten them up too much and risk breaking them on the tubular Darby single bar roof rack. They kept sliding outboard due to the downward pressure of the kayak. So I put a towel between the bottom of my lightly built kevlar kayak and the bar. The kayak wasn't held up by the Rhino brackets but was safely held from moving side to side, and the towel protected the bottom of the boat...10 hour road trip with some potholes, no damage.
Comments
Have only used it once for carrying my kayak. See my previous comment. Now my kayak sits comfortably in the Rhino-Rack cradles fastened to my floating dock. All is covered by a fitted tarp, so theres no water in the boat or sun damage to the boat or cradles. So easy and safe to launch and retrieve a lightly constructed kevlar boat!

They are going to work great.
by: Alex07/21/2015
These kayak carrier saddles cup the bottom of my kayak. They are easy to install and clamp to the rails firmly. The tie downs that are included to secure kayak to the rails have no metal to scratch vehicle or kayak. The bow and stern tie downs are plenty long to give you options as to where to attach to vehicle.
Comments
Still love how these carriers cup and mold to the bottom of my kayak. Once secure, kayak stays put.
Alex - 08/22/2016by: Mark m.07/10/2014
Great product, have used multiple times in the last two weeks and haven't found a flaw yet.
Comments
Have you used it with or without the bow and stern tie downs?

Great product for holding two kyaks on our Subaru Outback
by: Howard 08/27/2018
Everything was excellent from start to finish. Geoffrey was very helpful on the phone and helped guide me in the selection of the appropriate kayak accessory for my specific crossbars. The order came quickly (about 4 days) and it was relatively easy to attach to my crossbars. I transported my kayak easily and without drama. The product is high quality and looks like it will be durable and have be useful for a long time.
Comments
Its as good as it was when I first wrote the review...
Howard - 08/27/2019by: Dean05/09/2018
Very good racks, they stay on my roof very securely and I've not had any problems since installing them last year. Also, very easy to install, took less than 30 minutes . I highly recommend them, good quality roof racks at a very affordable price.
Comments
Have not removed them since I had them installed last year. The racks went through all kind of rough weather and still stay secured on my roof with no sign of deterioration, tough and durable roof racks.

- Will Rhino-Rack Nautic Kayak Carrier Fit on Factory Roof Rack of 2007 Jeep CommanderThe Rhino-Rack Nautic. part # RR570, likely fits your 2007 Jeep Commander's factory roof rack with no issues. The Nautic fits crossbars that are no larger than 3-7/8 inches wide and 1-3/8 inches tall and I'm pretty your Jeep's bars are smaller than that. You should measure to be sure but I'm pretty sure the factory crossbars are closer to 2-1/2 inches wide and an inch or less talll.

The # RR570 fits crossbars that measure 3-7/8" wide x 1-3/8" tall and have a minimum spread of 23-9/16". Crossbar spread is the measurement from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. As long as your factory crossbars fit the above requirements...

view full answer... - Can Rhino Rack Kayak Carrier # RR570 Attach to 1 inch Diameter Round CrossbarsThe Rhino Rack kayak carrier part # RR570 that you referenced is perfectly compatible with 1 inch diameter crossbars. That's actually a pretty standard size for round crossbars so this would work fine. Now with all round crossbars you do have to worry a little bit about the racks rotating on the bars since they are totally round and no angle of the bars prevent the rotation.

However, the C-Channel Nautic, part # RR580 does fit in the channels of the Thule AeroBlade, and uses optional locking covers over a hand knob to tighten the carrier into the channel.

I am confident that at least one of the designs will fit with little to no modification required. Once installed...

- Differences Between the Rhino-Rack Nautic SUP 570 and 581I'm sorry about the confusion! The main differences between the Rhino-Rack Nautic SUP Series 570 # RR570 and the Nautic SUP Series # 581 # RR581 is that the 581 includes only channel-mounting hardware while the 570 only includes clamp-on hardware. For these two different hardware styles, they install differently onto your Rhino-Rack aero crossbars. If the channel-mount option is important for you, you can definitely free free to change out the cradles. As far as why you didn't see it...
