- Difference Between Rhino-Rack Vortex And Thule Aeroblade Roof Racks For 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
- Both the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero and Thule AeroBlade roof rack systems have very nice features and would work well for your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. Both systems are designed to work on vehicles that have the flush mounted rail system. As far as the design or advantages or disadvantages of the Rhino-Rack system versus the Thule system, it is very difficult to say it has features that are better than the Thule. They both have very similar crossbar designs and features but the Rhino-Rack has...

- The E-Group rails are ones that have a chrome section that runs down the middle of the rail. The non-E-Group rails are totally black without a chrome section. I attached a picture that has the chrome section pictured.
If your roof has the E-Group rails you would need the part # RRRVP27 that you referenced as that is what this rack is designed to fit.
Otherwise you'd need the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00422, # Y00146, and # Y06121.

- There are several ways you can go to rig your 2015 Toyota Highlander with fixed factory roof crossbars for transporting kayaks. Adding a secondary roof rack is not an option, however, since aftermarket racks would have to use the same mounting points as your OEM bars. I confirmed this with my contacts at both Rhino-Rack and Thule. But there are also other ways you can carry kayaks that might give you additional cargo-carrying capabilities and/or possibly save you some money as compared...

- Did you install the rubber strip in the upper and lower channel of the crossbars? What you described sounds like you are missing that as these are aero bars and should not be whistling at all.
If there are any holes in the channel on the bottom or top of the bar they should be covered to get rid of the noise.
Or you can use a fairing like part # RRRF3 to direct the air over the rack.

- I may have a solution that will allow you to load your Pro Angler 14 foot kayak on the roof rack of your 2013 Honda CR-V, but before you select a kayak carrier for your vehicle, I strongly recommend checking the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof. The weight capacity of most vehicle roofs is not very high and this information should be located in your owner's manual. Overloading a roof rack can cause damage to your roof rack and the roof of your vehicle.

- When we describe a roof as a naked roof that means the vehicle has absolutely no hardware whatsoever on the roof.

- The Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack you mentioned that consists of # DS137B and # DK299 is indeed a fit for your 2015 Durango. The clamps are plastic coated to prevent scratching.
