I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!

Installation was easy and I haven't had any issues. I had originally ordered a wrong part, but the person I spoke with at etrailer made it very easy to correct this and get the parts I needed. The next time I need something from my truck, I'll be checking here first.

Nissan Versa

This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.

Thanks to etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!

Low profile foot system that works well !



by: Grant Renne06/03/2020

love it, no problem and easy to install and take on and off, 47,000 miles on the highway and not a single issue. I even like the song the ladder hums to me driving down the interstate. This is my second Rhino and both have preformed to a high standard.

These are as advertised. Once the leg kit is in place, super simple to install. Great finish, I believe will give great service. The only test to be determined is if they "Howl" in the wind. If so, I believe a second set of rubber fillers, installed in the underside will solve the problem. Another modification expense. Thanx.

  • Using Rhino Rack 50 Inch Crossbars on 2011 Honda Accord
  • You can certainly use 50 inch load bars on your Accord. Rhino Rack offers a Heavy Duty rack system that uses 50 inch load bars. You can assemble a system by using the following parts: Heavy Duty 50 Inch Crossbars, part # RB1250B-2 Leg Kit, part # RRRLKHD Vehicle Specific Clamp Kit, part # DK184 The rack has a 110 lb capacity, which might be limited by the capacity of your Accord's roof if it is less.

  • Will the Rhino-Rack HD Crossbars Allow Me to Transport 2 Kayaks on My 2014 Kia Sorrento LX?
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # RB1250B-2 (black) and # RB1250 (silver) are compatible with the bare roof on your 2014 Kia Sorrento LX without a vista roof. For a complete roof rack system, you will need the following parts: - Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Heavy-Duty Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRLKHD - Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof # DK179 For a J-style

  • Roof Rack for 2013 Mazda 3 Five Door to Carry a Rowing Shell
  • The most cost effective and aerodynamic (thus quiet) roof rack would be a Rhino Rack system, that would consist of the following: 44 inch Silver Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118S-2 (also available in black as # RRVA118B-2) Leg Kit # RRRLKVA Vehicle Specific Fit Kit for vehicles with fixed roof mounted attachment points, # DK289 The rack would be easily removable when needed. Rather than resting your rowing shell directly on the crossbars, I'd recommend using a foam block system like

  • Does Rhino Rack HD Roof Rack Fit 2011 BMW X3 with Naked Roof and Sunroof
  • The Rhino Rack HD part numbers # RB1250B-2, # RRRLKHD, and # DK295 is a confirmed fit for your 2011 BMW X3 with a naked roof and would not interfere with the sunroof. You aren't going to want to open the sunroof with this rack installed though as it will make quite a bit of noise. If you keep the roof clean as well as the mounting pads of the feet there would not be any long term damage done to the vehicle.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer for Carrying Ladders
  • I would recommend going with the Rhino Rack HD crossbar roof rack as it will have plenty of strength for your ladders. You would need the part numbers # RB1250B-2, # RLTP-2, and # RRVA-FK2-2 which have been confirmed as a fit for your 2007 Chevy Trailblazer raised side rails.. For load stops for the ladders you would then want the part # RRRLH. For 10 foot cinch straps you could also use the part # RTD3. Be sure not to exceed the roof weight capacity of your vehicle.

  • Roof Weight Capacity of 2005 Toyota Highlander Fitted with Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Roof Rack
  • The Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Roof Rack for your 2005 Toyota Highlander, which consists of parts # RB1250B-2 and # CXB, does carry a 200-lb weight rating. Your vehicle itself will also have a roof weight capacity that could be more, the same or less. Your manual's indicated weight limit of 100-lbs could be for an OEM roof rack, or it could be for the overall roof structure itself. If Toyota says the roof itself can handle 100-lbs and no more, then you will have to abide by that lower rating.

  • Will Yakima SkyBox 21 Fit on Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars
  • The max dimensions for a crossbar that the Yakima SkyBox 21 # Y07337 can accommodate is 3-1/2" x 1-11/16". The Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars # RB1250B-2 are a little too tall for that so if you want to stick with Rhino-Rack you need the Vortex crossbars like part # RRVA137B-2. If you let me know the year/make/model of your vehicle I can make a roof rack recommendation for you. The Rhino-Rack HD bars are much taller than typical crossbars so none of the Yakima boxes will

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Ladder Mounting Kit For 2016 Nissan Versa Note
  • The roof rack I recommend for your 2016 Versa Note is the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack. This roof rack has 50-inch long crossbars that have a rubber strip in the crossbar channel to help cushion any items you carry on the roof rack. The roof rack has a 165-lb weight capacity. To order this roof rack you will need part # RB1250B-2, part # RRRLKHD, and part # DK382. to make it easier to secure the ladder on your roof rack I recommend part # REGLK2B. This kit fits the C-channels

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2010 Toyota Corolla with Naked Roof for Snowboard Carrier
  • For your 2010 Toyota Corolla sedan with a naked roof we have the 2010 Toyota Corolla Roof Rack by Rhino Rack which includes part numbers # RB1250B-2, # RRRLKHD and # DK152 as a confirmed fit which would work great for a snowboard rack like the Rhino Rack # RR574 which can carry up to 4 pairs of skis or 2 boards.

  • Will Thule AeroBlade Crossbars Fit Rhino-Rack RLTP Legs for a Range Rover Sport
  • The Thule AeroBlade crossbars will not fit the Rhino-Rack RLTP legs, # RLTP. These legs are designed for Rhino-Rack heavy duty square bars. Also, different vehicles take different length bars so there is no guarantee that the length of the AeroBlade bars is sufficient for the Range Rover Sport. If you could tell me the year of your Range Rover Sport I could determine the length of the bars you would need and then you could get the appropriate Rhino-Rack feet and bars.

  • Do Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RTS508 for 2012 Range Rover Sport Work with OEM Rack
  • If you installed the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RTS508 on your 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport these are intended for use with Rhino-Rack track-mounted legs, including parts # RLTP, # RLTF or # RLT500. These tracks are not listed as being compatible with the Range Rover OEM roof rack so to confirm I checked with my technical contact at Rhino-Rack. My contact there also could not provide any assurance of compatibility of these tracks with the OEM roof rack. The RTS508

  • Attaching Roof Mounted Cargo Basket to Topper of 2006 Chevrolet Silverado
  • To attach a cargo basket such as the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, # C18115 (41-1/2" x 37") to a truck topper on your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado, you will need to install Rhino Rack Roof Rack, # Y02-490B. This roof rack is designed to attach to camper shells and tonneau covers and will need to be drilled into your Leer topper. Otherwise you will need to custom fit mounting hardware for the Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, # C18115 (41-1/2" x 37") or the longer # C18115-117 (64-1/2" x 39").

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack with 3 Inch Tall Legs for a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • The RLTP legs are only available in 2 inch height. For 3 inch height you can use RLCP legs, # RLT500 or RLTF legs # RLTF. But for a 2012 Range Rover Sport you can use complete roof rack # RSPT508 which comes with 3 inch tall legs.

  • Are the Rhino-Rack Track Mount RLTP Legs Compatible with Yakima Tracks
  • 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. I

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Truck Cap Track System
  • For your truck topper with existing track system, I recommend the Track Mount RLTP Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - 2" Tall - Qty 2 # RLTP along with the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Black - 65" Long # RB1650B-2. If you prefer the vortex style bars then use Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks - Qty 4 # RRRLT600 and # RRVA165B-2.

  • Track Mount Roof Rack Will Not Lie Flat on Tonneau Cover
  • Is it only happening on the one side? You may need to loosen the connection between the foot and the crossbars to allow the track to lie flat. It may also require another fastener at the very end to hold it down if it refuses to lie flat. You will want to alternate tightening down each side sort of like when you tighten the lug nuts on a tire.
