Aerodynamic, aluminum crossbars let you build an aftermarket roof rack for your vehicle. Full-length bars provide plenty of space for carriers and accessories. Vortex strips in C-channels reduce wind noise. Theft-deterring plastic locks included.
Features:
Specs:
These low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbars let you build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbars require 6 Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. Each bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in each crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bars are constructed of aluminum so they won't rust. The crossbars also include Secure Core endcaps with plastic locks to help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories.
The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of each crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbars cut through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.
The Vortex Aero crossbars are made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with H-shaped internal extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them on your roof year-round.
Each crossbar has a channel in the bottom for mounting to Rhino-Rack roof rack legs (sold separately). Each end of the channel includes a rubber ruler to help you center the bar on your roof. Simply use the numbers and hash marks on the rulers to ensure the legs are spaced properly in the channel.
Each Vortex Aero crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channels come in 3 pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.
You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bars, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on them.
Each crossbar includes 2 Secure Core locking endcaps made of durable polypropylene. These endcaps lock with a universal tubular key. The polypropylene locks secure the endcaps to the crossbars and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbars. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC2 - sold separately).
Quick Mount legs let you mount 3 Vortex Aero crossbars to RTC- or RT-style roof rack tracks. A trigger system allows tool-free installation of the legs into the tracks, and the locking covers secure the system to your roof.
Features:
Specs:
The bases of these Rhino Rack legs easily mount into your Rhino-Rack RTC- or RT-style roof rack tracks with included hardware. Just slide the nuts into the tracks, line up the mounting plates, and bolt the bases down. After this initial setup, you can leave the bases in the tracks.
Molded inserts help keep out dirt and provide a finished look when there are no legs and crossbars installed. To install a leg, simply remove the insert.
Once you've set up the bases, installing and removing your roof rack is easy. The Quick Mount legs have an integrated trigger system that creates an easy, tool-free installation.
To install a leg in a base, pinch and slide the internal triggers together.
Lower the leg onto the base and slide the internal triggers apart to secure the leg in the base.
Once the leg is installed in the base, replace the cover and lock it to help secure the system to your roof.
The Backbone adds support to your factory hard top so you can carry more gear on your roof rack. Provides mounting points for a Pioneer Platform or up to 3 Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero or Heavy-Duty crossbars.
Features:
Rubber base pads install on bottom of Rhino-Rack Quick Mount legs to provide cushion and to help level a Pioneer platform on the roof of your vehicle.
Features:
Specs:
These 5-mm thick Quick Mount spacers bolt to the tops of 2 legs to level a crossbar on your vehicle's roof. Sold as a pair of 2.
Features:

Hi there platform and roof rack owners. Today we're gonna be taking a look at Rhino Rack's quick release feet. These legs are designed to work with either platform racks or Rhino Racks, Vortex Aero crossbars, and they will connect to run RX RTC or RT style roof rack tracks. We'll show you the quick release in action here. We've already got our platform rack installed. We're going to go ahead and insert our key and remove our cover.
And here you can see the quick release mechanism inside. To release it you'll simply just squeeze these two pieces together and then once you squeeze them if you actually push inward just a little bit it'll hold it in place in the unlocked position. We're going to repeat that at all the feet. Once we've got it released all the way you can see here that the system simply just lifts off and here you can see the quick release tab. So I'm gonna go ahead and release them so you can see how they work.
They pop out, which would hook it into the portion that is bolted down to the top of your vehicle. We're going to go ahead and squeeze them back together. Make sure that all of them are pressed in. We can then take our accessory with our feet at the appropriate location drop it down into place, and then just pull those out. Once you pull them out you do often have to just get a little bit of a tug downward to make them pop into place.
And the best part about having feet like this versus your traditional style roof rack feet is when you want to take your platform or roof rack off it's as simple as squeezing those tabs and just setting it in your garage. Putting it back in place is just as easy as you saw versus the traditional style. You're either going to have to take out hardware underneath or on top. And it's just a lot longer of a process. And you have parts you have to keep track of afterwards, all that hardware.
With this you don't have to worry about any of that. All of the sets can be purchased with matching locks. So that way you can have one key that will work with all of your feet. And that completes our look at Rhino Rack's quick release feet for roof rack and platform racks..

good price and prompt delivery
Best price on the part. Fast shipping. The install video made it a breeze. Rhino rack was a little lazy with the written directions and stamping all the parts. The etrailer video for 2015 JKU was needed.
Great quality product and a breeze to install. I like that they are simple to install and remove as my needs change.
As far as the product goes I do not see the need for it unless you have clearance issues. These were automatically added to my order as I purchased the Rhino Rack quick mount legs and vortex crossbars. When I went to assemble the kit (on a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer) I found that these spacers were not required. After reading the instructions for the spacers, it looks as if these are designed to elevate the crossbars up off the legs to gain more clearance from the bars to the roof.
I honestly do not know why they were included with my order but I paid for them so I'll keep them in case I need them when I switch the system to a different vehicle.
Just as I had expected. Top quality and no rust. A bit scary drilling the holes in your top but all went well. Their anti theft allen screws could use an upgrade.
Perfect fit, fast delivery
Great quality and was easy to install as the directions were simple to follow.
The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero kit for the 2019 Mercedes Benz Metris Worker van (no roof rails) is a perfect fit. The 3 racks are in perfect alignment with the spacer blocks and can be removed in about 3 minutes to take the van into the car wash.
Make sure you download the specific installation instructions from the manufacturer for the proper installation of the support legs.
This system is great. Have a 6’ rack mounted to it and it easily supports 200-300lbs of dynamic load a d 700+ static load without issue.
Overall I like the rack. Aero bars are quiet, rubber grip strip on top is nice. Product is high quality. My only gripe is the mounting feet and it’s fit on the Mercedes Metris. Each foot is only able to utilize one bolt hole on the factory placed mounts. Using 2 per foot would be much better like in most other applications I imagine. But once it’s all assembled and installed it seems fine. Height spacer blocks are perfect, bars are all on the same plane. Looks good too! Etrailer also has real people working customer support who answer the phone and help you out. I highly recommend the rack and buying from etrailer!

I like the products pretty much considering it was the only option available for my vehicle. The roof racks do cause a bit more wind noise than I had hoped but Im used to it now and just turn the radio up a bit more. I did go back and read my reviews again and they are still accurate a year later.
