- 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...

- 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.

- 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.

view full answer... - Compatibility of Thule Roof-Mount Bike Racks with Rhino Rack 2500 Series Cross Bars
- The Rhino Rack 2500 Series cross bars measure 3-1/2 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches tall. Most of the Thule roof-mounted racks that use clamps like the Circuit XT, # TH526XT or the UpRide, # TH599000 will fit your cross bar. Other Thule racks can use an adapter to mount in the slot on top of the bar should fit, as the slot is of similar dimension to those used on Thule Aero Blade cross bars.

- 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...
view full answer... - What Size Fairing Should Be Used Based On Roof Rack Cross Bar Length?
- I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # RRRF3 or the Yakima WindShield Fairing for Roof Racks - 46" Long # Y05018. When looking for a fairing, you want to cover as much of the bar as possible while able to attach within the feet/towers of your roof rack. The more air that you can direct over the bar, the less wind noise, so the widest you can get and not create more noise by going past your vehicle the better.

- If your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the side rails with chrome and a channel that runs down the middle of the rail then you have the E Group package. If you don't have the E Group the rails will be entirely black or have chrome accents but won't have the channel.
If you don't have the chrome slotted rails, then I recommend the Thule roof rack consisting of:
Thule WingBar Evo Load Bars # TH711520

- When looking at the roof side rails on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee you can determine if it has the E-Group package by inspecting them to see if there is a chrome section that runs down the middle of the rail. This chrome section indicates that the vehicle has the E-Group package while a completely black rail without a chrome section means that it's a non-E-Group model.
I have included an image that shows an E-Group roof rail with the chrome strip that you can check out as well.

view full answer... - Can Roof Rack Be Installed with Larger Distance Between Crossbars than What Instructions Advise
- According to Rhino Rack, the crossbars should be spaced 27-9/16 inches apart, center on center as shown in the provided diagram. Rhino rack chooses the specific mounting points for the crossbars based on where the strongest points of the roof are located. If you were to install the roof rack at a different distance apart, your rack would have an unknown weight capacity which could damage the rack or the vehicle roof if you unintentionally overloaded the rack.

- You have a couple of options to carry the kayak on the roof of your 2014 Honda CR-V. First, if you don't want to spend a lot of money I recommend a foam block kit, # SR5525. The blocks set on the vehicle roof and the kayak will rest on the blocks. You will use the included straps to tie down the bow and stern and to secure everything to the vehicle by routing 2 of the straps through the interior of the vehicle.

- The Batwing Awning for Rhino-Rack Crossbars - Driver's Side # RR33100 or passenger side # RR33200 will mount to your Thule crossbars without any additional parts if you have the aero style bars. If you have the square load bars, then there is not a directly compatible bracket and u-bolt for the Batwing awning so minor customization is needed. The # RR31105 is not directly compatible with the Batwing brackets as seen in the attached photo.
