- 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...

- To see a list of all of the roof racks that are confirmed as a fit for the flush rails of your 2017 Ford Explorer check out the link I attached.
Best priced option is the Thule square bar rack part numbers # THLB50, # TH460, and # THKIT3151. This setup fits your roof and is designed to attach to the roof setup you have which has fixed points. I attached an install video that shows the rack installed on a similar 2016 Explorer for you to check out as well.

- 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...

- Roof rails on your 2013 Rogue are a factory-only option. We cannot offer these rails themselves on an aftermarket basis.
However, we can offer you several options for roof racks that can be fitted to a 2013 Nissan Rogue with a naked roof (meaning a roof with no factory-installed side rails or crossbars).
Differences between products suitable for your Rogue will include shape, length and color of the crossbars, weight capacity of the rack system, and how quiet the rack is during highway...

- The narrow span of the arms on the Rhino Rack # RBC044 can accommodate some womens and kids bikes by mounting the bike crossbar above the arms. However, the best option is to use an adapter bar for carrying womens and childrens bikes on a hanging style of bike rack.
I recommend using the Swagman adapter bar # 64005. This adapter bar will mount to the vertical handle bar and seat post and will provide a horizontal crossbar that will allow an alternative, womens, or kids bike to be carried...

- If you have flush rails that run front to back on the roof of your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee that have a chrome rail on top of them the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RLCP27, and # RRVA-FK2-2 would be the correct parts you would need.
If instead you have a naked roof you would want the part numbers # THLB58, # TH480, and # THKIT1656.

- I have attached a photo of the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar, part # RTL002.
As noted on the photo the 42 to 64 measurement is from the bottom of the shank that fits in the hitch receiver to the top of the crossbar on the upright support.
I have attached links to a couple product review videos you can check out.

- 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.

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 Sidearm, # TH594XT 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.
If you would care to respond with the specific model number of your Thule bike rack, I would be happy...

- To transport your two kayaks on your 2013 Subaru Impreza Sedan with naked roof you can install a roof rack and rack-mounted kayak carriers, OR you can go an altogether different route that is less costly, lighter in weight and that will not change the appearance of the car when you're doing your normal driving. Let's investigate this option first.
Foam block type kayak carriers work great on a naked roof and they do not require you to purchase and install a roof rack (although they will...

- Roof racks for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Hardtop are available from Yakima and Thule. I have included a link to our product page that shows all four available rack systems for your Jeep.
The main differences between the available racks are their crossbar spread (the distance between front and rear crossbars once mounted to your Wrangler) and the shapes of the crossbars themselves. A wider crossbar spread makes it easier to transport longer items. The wing-like aero shape crossbar...

- We had the Rhino-Rack Track Mount RLTP Legs, # RLTP, and the Yakima tracks in stock so I pulled them from our warehouse and made a short video for you. I do have a solution for you, however the Rhino-Rack feet are not compatible with the Yakima tracks.
Instead, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack RTC Tracks, # RTC14. These tracks are 55 inches long and are compatible with the RLTP legs. They are also more economically priced over the Yakima tracks which will save you some money.

view full answer... - Available Crossbar Lengths for Roof Racks for the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek
- The Rhino-Rack system you referenced, the SXBS Roof Rack for Raised Factory Side Rails # SXBS4, is indeed a correct fit for your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. This system includes the custom feet that grip your factory side rails. Rhino-Rack recommends this 44-inch crossbar size based on the vehicle roof dimensions; longer crossbars may extend out past the edge of the roof line and pose a hazard.
The Rhino-Rack systems with longer 50-inch crossbars do not include the specialized foot assemblies...

- If you are talking about carrying a kayak or canoe on the roof and need somewhere to tie off the bow to the front of your 2014 Toyota Highlander I think I have the perfect solution for you. Take a look at the Thule Quick Loops, # TH530.
You will close the cylinder under the hood and leave the strap hanging out providing a quick, easy, and inexpensive tie down point. There is a similar model, # TH529, that you can attach under a bolt.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier And Bike Rack Options For 2014 Chevrolet Spark With Naked Roof
- I did some research on your 2014 Chevrolet Spark and per the owner's manual it states that no more than 110 lbs can be carried on the roof or the vehicle could suffer damage. Carrying 2 kayaks would not be an option because the weight on the roof with the kayaks, roof rack, and kayak carrier would exceed the roof weight limit.
If carrying one kayak is an option for you I recommend the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack, part # RRRS284B. This roof rack has quiet aerodynamic black crossbars...

- In addition to the feet and crossbar provided by the # RRRLKVAH and # RRVA137B, you will also need the vehicle-specific 1/2 clamp kit used to attach the crossbars to the truck, part # DK227H.
You would also need the Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist you mentioned, part # RTL002. The T-Load includes a strap to secure your canoe to the rear crossbar, but I would also recommend using a foam block system like the SportRack # SR5529. This universal foam block canoe carrier includes...

view full answer... - Recommendation for the Quietest 14 Cu Ft Rooftop Cargo Box
- When I asked a few others here at etrailer for their opinion on the quietest cargo box that we offer, all said the Thule Sonic due to it's aerodynamic design and it being very low-profile.
The two options that Thule offers close to the 14 cu ft capacity would be the Thule Sonic Medium 13 cu ft Rooftop Cargo Box, # TH634B for Black or # TH634S for Silver, and the Thule Sonic XL 17 cu ft Rooftop Cargo Box, # TH635B for Black or # TH635S for Silver.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Ladder Rollers with TracRac Ladder Rack for Transporting 15-Foot Boat
- The base weight of a Riverhawk B52 is 165-lbs so when equipped with a usual complement of gear let's say it comes in near 200-lbs. This weight can be carried by your combination of Trac Rac truck bed ladder rack and cab-mounted roof rack. For a bigger boat like this it is a good idea to split the load between the two systems.
The three ladder rollers you referenced, parts # RR1500, # SR680 and # RR1375, are meant for a specific Rhino-Rack crossbars and they would not work on the Trac...

view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford Explorer with Moon Roof
- For a roof rack setup similar to the Rhino Rack # RRSX005 that you referenced that is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ford Explorer with flush rails that run from front to back you would want the Thule roof rack part numbers # THARB53B, # TH460R, and # THKIT3151.
This is one of the nicest roof rack options available and would be a great fit for your Explorer. It has the quietest and most fuel efficient crossbar design plus it has a 165 lb weight capacity.

view full answer... - Quality of Rhino Rack Cargo Carriers versus Quality of Thule Cargo Carriers
- Rhino-Rack produces quality products that are very similar in style to both Thule and Yakima, with the main differences between the cargo carriers being in their features.
I took the Rhino-Rack Carrier, part # RRRMFZ66 that you referenced and compared it to the Thule Pulse, part # TH614 which is of equal capacity and came to the following conclusion -
Both Rhino-Rack # RRRMFZ66 and Thule # TH614 hold 14 cubic feet of cargo, fits most factory crossbars, have key locks, have luggage...

- In order to get the best fitting cargo box for your Mazda CX-5, I highly recommend going with a box from Thule or Yakima. Both companies provide clearance measurements to ensure a proper fit for your vehicle. I have attached their charts for you.
Since you mentioned that your Mazda CX-5 has a front clearance measurement of 52 inches (distance from the center of the front crossbar to the seam where the hatch meets the roof), take a look at the Yakima RocketBox Pro 11, # Y07193. This box...
view full answer... - Can the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mount Assist and Support be Used to Help Support a Kayak
- The Rhino-Rack T-Load, # RTL002, can be used as both a loader and to support the rear of the kayak when traveling. The kayak should set on the bar and the strap used to help secure it. The bow/stern will both need to be tied down to the vehicle front and rear as well. It would be best to have it rest on the bar since it is solid and not flexible like the strap. I have included a couple of video links on the T-Load and a link to the isntructions for you.

The representative at Rhino Rack informed me that you would need to piece together a rack to use on your camper shell with carpeted ceiling. First you will need the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks, part # RT16. This track system attaches to your camper with rivets. You will need to order a quantity of 2 of...

- For your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the E Group rail package I would recommend the Rhino Rack Roof Rack part # RSP27 as the Rhino Rack racks are high quality racks at a great price. And the price for this one is too good to pass up. Plus this rack has a flush bar setup that will give it an OEM look plus aero shaped bars that will minimize wind noise.
For a canoe carrier the Portage part # TH819 would work well to hold the canoe upside down. Then to carry the kayak the # TH834 is...

There is no need to remove your headliner or any of the lights/accessories on the interior.

This rack is illustrated in the linked review video. This rack is cost-effective and features quieter aerodynamic crossbars for reduced wind noise.
For the camper shell you can use the mating track-mount Vortex Aero rack system # Y02-490B. An installation video is linked.
