- Difference Between Rhino-Rack Vortex And Thule Aeroblade Roof Racks For 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
- Both the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero and Thule WingBar 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 crossbars...

- 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.

- 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...

- 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.

- 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... - How to Carry a Kayak on a 2014 Honda CR-V without a Roof 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 other option is to install a roof rack and use a carrier on the new rack....

- 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

view full answer... - Lengths of the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars and Compatible Kayak Carrier Recommendation
- Rhino-Rack does offer longer heavy-duty load bars. We do not have a set of load bars that are 61 inches long, but the heavy-duty bar, # RB1500S, are 59 inches long and the heavy-duty bars, # RB1650S, are 65 inches long.
For a kayak carrier, I would recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, # S510. You will need the Heavy-Duty Crossbar Adapters, # KC-FK8. At this time we do not have a kayak carrier that is directly compatible with the heavy-duty crossbars without the adapter kit.

- You would need to use the Allen key to remove the Rhino-Rack roof rack # RRRS323 every time. But it isn't as difficult or time-consuming as it sounds. After you have done the initial installation and have taken the rack off and put it back on a couple of times, it might take you all of 5 minutes to remove it or put it back on. I have included links to a video review and the instructions for you.

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.

- The good news is that the roof rack manufacturers all decided to use the same channel dimensions so the roof rack accessories for roof channels basically all are interchangeable between (most) brands. Thule and Rhino Rack do work together just fine.
For the feet you would need the part # RRRLT600 and then for 65 inch crossbars you would want the part # RRVA165B-2.

- You can absolutely install an aftermarket roof rack on your 2017 Kia Sedona. In fact, an aftermarket roof rack is typically stronger and more durable than factory installed systems.

This system, which is confirmed to fit your Sedona, consists of parts # RRVA137B-2 and # RRSX023. This will provide an extremely quiet roof rack with two 54 inch, aerodynamic...

- The Rhino-Rack SG Roof Rack for Rain Gutters - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RRSG59 is only rated for the 88 lb load when installed in the exact way shown. Installing behind the removable tops will work for securing the crossbars when not in use, but it is not recommended to carry a load in that location.

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.

- There is a very high-quality roof rack that fits your 2015 Ford Taurus which will allow you to use the Thule SUP Taxi XT Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001, though Thule does not make a rack which fits your vehicle.
Instead, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack # RRRS525B (Black) or # RRRS525 (Silver). This rack uses aero bars with rubberized vortex strips to ensure you have a quiet ride, and the bars are designed so the bars do not extend past the rack's legs, giving you...

- The Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # S512-S512X is one of my favorite kayak carriers on the market.

This saved space could then be used for other accessories such as a bike rack like the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack part # RRRBC050. The kayak carrier also has a folding upright so you don't need to remove it each time if you had any overhead clearance issues like a garage. It comes with...
