Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar

These low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbars let you build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbars require 4 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.


Aerodynamic Design

Vortex Aero noise-reducing top channel strips

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.


Strong, Durable Construction

Vortex Aero crossbar H-shaped extrusion

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.


No-Hassle Installation

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero bottom channel ruler

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.


Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar top-channel strips

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.


Built-In Security

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Secure Core locking endcaps

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-LEC4 - sold separately).

  • Does Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Rhino Rack Roof Rack
  • The Rhino Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 you referenced measure 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall. The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and 1-11/16" tall so they will work on these bars! If you let me know the year, make and model of your vehicle I can confirm for you which Rhino Rack roof rack will fit and the parts you will need.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Carrier for 2013 Toyota Corolla
  • For your 2013 Toyota Corolla, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit # DK152. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I also recommend the metal lock cores # RRVA-LEC4 for when you use the T-channel mounting for accessories that have that mount that fits in the slot on top of your crossbars instead of wrapping around them. Then for your rooftop cargo carrier, I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo

  • How to Carry Three Kayaks on the Roof of a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  • In order to fit three kayaks on the roof of your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, you will first need a roof rack.

  • Roof Rack Capacity for a 2017 Ford Fiesta

For example, the Rhino Rack that consists of Aero cross bars # RRVA118B-2, legs # RRRLKVA and fit kit # DK046 have a 110 lb capacity if installed on a '17 Fiesta that is a 5-door hatchback but the same rack has a 165 lb capacity if installed on a '17 Fiesta that is a 4-door Sedan. Choosing what model of Fiesta you have will lead you to the correct rack. I've attached

  • Roof Rack Designed Specifically for 2018 Nissan Versa
  • I did some further research and found that SportRack does not have roof cross rails specifically fit for your 2018 Nissan Versa, that I could find, so I will not be able to recommend a solution with SportRack parts. However you could entirely scrap what you currently have and install a Rhino-Rack solution by ordering the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 along with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and Rhino-Rack # DK232 fit kit.
