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).

  • Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack For A 2014 Toyota Sienna
  • Hey John, I used to have a 2013 Sienna, it was a great van. I can definitely help set you up with Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars for your 2014 Sienna. The Rhino-Rack # RRVA126B-2 that you mentioned is a set of crossbars only though, so additional parts will be needed. The complete roof rack for the 2014 Sienna is as follows: - Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - Black # JA7987 This does come with slightly shorter crossbars than what you were

  • Troubleshooting Plastic Endcaps That Won't Stay In Place On Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars
  • Regarding the endcaps popping out on your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - 49" # RRVA126B-2, this is not a common occurrence and I have not heard of this happening before. Make sure the rubber strip, or anything else for that matter, is not getting caught between the crossbar and endcap. Then make sure you are fully pushing the plastic endcaps into place and locking them all the way with the included key. If you are still having issues then let me know and we can dig deeper into the issues

  • Roof Rack Fit Recommendation for 2017 Kia Optima

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for Kia Optima 2006.5
  • My personal favorites are racks that use the aero style crossbars. Not only do these bars look great but since they are also aerodynamic, the amount of wind noise that you experience is greatly reduced. In order to install this style of rack on your 2006.5 Kia Optima, you will need Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR33SR as a custom fit.

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes GL 450
  • You are on the right track. You will need a set of crossbars mounted to the raised side rails of your 2016 Mercedes Benz GL 450 to carry a cargo box. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100 is what I recommend. This rack gives you crossbars that are aero shaped to minimize wind noise and is very easy to install so I recommend it highly. I attached an install video for the rack on a similar SUV for you to check out too. With this rack installed you'd

  • Roof Rack Fit for 2013 Volkswagen Touareg With Roof Rails and Sun Roof
  • There is definitely a solution for you, though it could be that you have a sun roof and not a moon roof. This matters in terms of fit, because a moon roof slides into a cavity in the roof and does not extend above it, while a sun roof generally does extend above it. Due to this, the rack you mentioned, Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, would not work for your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg because the rack should not be used with vehicles that have a sun roof. Additionally, each of the Yakima

  • Can Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Carry a Roofnest Sparrow Adventure XL Tent
  • The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long # RRVA126B-2 have a capacity of 165-lbs, which is the highest available for your 2021 Toyota RAV4, so you will be limited to that weight when loading items on the roof rack. Since your Sparrow Adventure XL tent weighs 150-lbs alone, you'll eat up most of the capacity with that. You will always be limited to the lowest rated component in your setup and in this case it appears that the roof of the RAV4 is only rated for
