Fits my Chevy Sonic very well. Good quality. The roof rack was worth every dime I paid. I bought it to put bikes on my roof, but I have used to carry a canoe, sheets of plywood and plywood. 914935

Fit my 2016 Chevy sonic perfectly. Easy to install with a video etrailer had done for an earlier model sonic. It has a nice look and is very functional. 279566

2013 Chevrolet Sonic

We put this rack on our 2013 Chevy Sonic Hatchback because it was the only model out there that would fit. It's been a year and no issues at all - no rusting, nothing coming loose, doesn't catch. We had someone experienced install it for us along with the bars and our cargo box and haven't had one issue. Definitely recommend this product - we got a great price too. 586124

Outstanding! Was relatively easy to install, looks great. Very aerodynamic and sturdy. Unnoticeable fuel mileage difference. Highly recommend Rhino Rack product and etrailer.com. Product delivered promptly. Please keep up the good work and many thanks! 276462

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack

This review covers the Rhino Rack 2500 Vortex Aero crossbars and associated parts (DK284, RRRLKVA, RRVA137S-2) for a naked roof installation on a 2018 Honda CR-V. Very solid racks. We just took our first trip using them and the didn't budge. As recommended, a few days after installing, I tightened the bolts a bit. I'm not sure they needed it--just a little insurance. The installation process was clear, but fairly detailed. It would be easy to miss a step, so take your time. Also, I tried a couple shortcuts in the order when installing on the car, but had to back track. So, go in the order they give you. The racks easily supported our filled "pod" and a couple surfboards, strapped side-by-side. Sorry, no photos of the rack loaded. One thing to watch out for is that our old Thule pod almost didn't fit because of the thickness of the racks. I had to loosen the bolts almost entirely. Of note: I feel that although I followed the measurements to the millimeter, the fit on our 2018 Honda CR-V wasn't exact. Where the pads sit on the roof of the car didn't align perfectly. I could have adjusted this by just re-trimming the rubber pads that go in the channels, but it's not a big deal, so I just left it. Finally, I do have one concern. The angle of final installation doesn't really protect the racks from theft very well. The plastic plate that locks over the screw would allow someone with the proper tool to get up under it and loosen the bolts. That being said, someone so inclined could also just break the little plastic door or drill a hole in it to access the bolt. So, I guess it's just a deterrent anyway. Overall, I'm very happy with the racks and etrailer.com! Despite shipping delays due to Covid-19, they were able to get the racks to me in time for an upcoming trip. I did choose to expedite shipping, but the cost was very reasonable. 845367

The racks are still working well, a year later. Ive used them to haul small loads of lumber and other items from the local big box hardware store.

carry my old town pdl 120 kayak on my 2014 Ram 3500 Crew cab dually. Heavy kayak. I'm a full time rider and sometimes travel hundreds of miles before stopping. Never had an issue. Front rack had a lot of wind noise but I wrapped paracord around it...problem solved. Worth the money! 846268

Still going strong. Just make sure you tighten periodically.

Excellent roof rack for my naked roof ...plus the installation video was perfect - rather than read thru the instruction manual the video saved the day. Customer service here was perfect too - my shipping had been delayed - and not once but twice the folks here helped me get it expedited very happy with product with video and customer service 1038607

The boxes were delivered quickly and promptly (earlier than expected). The instructions were easy to follow. I just needed the space to lay everything out and to match the numbers to the correct items. My only issue was that the specs for my 2016 Nissan Versa Note SV asked for 144mm for the front, but in fact, it needed to be 148mm. The rear asked for 142mm, but it needed to be 144.5mm. Once I figured that out, the rest was straight forward. The crossbars are super sturdy and the rubberized top is a nice add to keep things from slipping. Thank you! I plan on installing a V-boat rack on the car rack. I can't wait to transport canoes! 727979

Its been a year and Ive been transporting multiple canoes on top of my car. It has been great! The biggest risk with the boats on a small car is when its windy that it would rock the car and the crossbars. The crossbars have movedslipped a little bit, but its still super sturdy. Great product.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack

I bought the roof rack to carry kayaks back and forth from Pennsylvania to Florida. The rack is solid and performs that task very well. My plan was to take the rack off and on but I decided to just leave it on. I do notice some wind noise since I've added the rack but it does not distract me and I would say that it is not excessive but it is noticeable. I did have problems during the installation. I mounted the racks on a Ford 250 super duty. And the instructions were very clear as to where the feet that's support the rack where to be installed. Plastic strips are cut and the feet that support the rack on the roof push up to the cut plastic strips and that is what determines placement. I read the instructions several times and had seen an installation on another truck owned by a friend of mine. When I pushed the feet to the proper position I could not attached the clamps from the rack feet to the rain gutter on the truck which holds the whole assembly on the roof. They were too short. I spoke to Etrailer and a consensus was that I had cut the strips correctly. Etrailer's input of course was over the phone and they could not actually see or measure anything that I did. Nevertheless, in order to install the rack I had to move the feet on each side a bit closer to the rain gutter on the truck. I did not think that this would make any difference and based on the performance I have not noticed any problems. I would have given this product and excellent rating if I did not have to deal with the little problem that I had with the fit. As I said I have not taken it off the roof and I reach up and check it now and then and it's as solid as the day I put it on. 703778

The rack works fine. I reach up and check it now and then and I have never had to tighten it after the initial installation. Completely satisfied.

The roof rack is great. But the DK432 instruction doesn't fit my Ford Edge 2019 very well. The measurement strip length for front crossbar is about 160mm instead of 150mm, the measurement strip length for rear crossbar is about 150mm instead of 140mm. 1069159

Thank you for your review. The strip size will vary with each year, make, and model.

So my rating is primarily based on the product. However etrailer was very helpful in getting me the right products and getting it to me quickly! The product itself is a very good. It was quite easy to install and holds up quite well. The instructions however were a bit complicated, the instructions in the box with the clips gives you specs on various products and measurements. The box with the brackets gives you the run down on the installation. I attempted to follow it word for work but found the measurements didn't seem to match up. I eventually winged it and did measurements of my own, making sure everything was even and squared up, this is why I rated it a 4 out of 5. Beyond that I like the product. It's quite sturdy, went together quite easily. I've yanked on it in every direction I can even after I applied the basket. I do manage to get some wind noise but I believe it's primarily from the basket. Overall I'd definitely recommend this product 1075755

The fit of the Rhino roof racks is perfect! Installation was straightforward and not difficult. The kayak J racks were added and not part of the Rhino roof racks. 1079680

Excellent Roof rack. Fits better than the factory installed racks on my Honda pilot. The Thule cargo box tend to be too far back on roof and interfere with the rear hatch when opening. The Rhino-Rack2500 was easy to install and helps by being able to move the cargo box forward. No scratching to vehicle. The Bars also great for loading lumber, No sliding!! 819803

Still an excellent buy. I highly recommend for anyone who needs a roof rack. Easy install and removal.

I love the racks. The only thing I'm concerned is the the measurement for the front rack. It's sitting about 2/3 on the metal part of the roof of the cab with instruction measurement of 165 mm. So far it working alright or should i make adjustment for a flush fit. Photos will show. 953971

Thanks for your review. I took a look at the installation details and it is meant to fit 165 mm properly.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack

I ordered the Rhino Rack for my 2017 Mazda 3 hatchback. The first thing I was concerned about was if the rack would interfere with opening my moon roof but that's not an issue. However, the rack does whistle pretty loud with the moon roof open at high speeds but that would happen with any roof rack. For my car, the fixed mounting points on the roof are not accessible with the normal molding strips on the roof. So I had to order new Mazda molding strips with openings that provide access to the roof mounting points. You'll have to research which ones to get for your car. But, luckily, they're not expensive and are easy to install. Ok, now for the Rhino Rack. I'm fairly handy and have installed roof racks before and the whole install took me about 2 hours. But it wasn't totally straightforward. The directions included in the box were for clamping a rack to the door openings and not for screwing the rack mounts into the fixed points on the roof. So they were not very helpful for my car. In addition, the towers were set up for the clamping arms, so I had to knock that hardware out of the tower arms and install the hardware for screwing down on the roof mounting points. Also missing from the instructions were the spacing measurements for the roof rack. So I had to go to Rhino Rack's web site and search for the spec sheet for my car to find the measurements. The good news is that those measurements were dead on when I went to screw the rack onto the roof. What really saved me was watching the etrailer install video for the Mazda 3 (that video was for an older Mazda 3 but the instructions worked fine for my 2017). That will show you how to do it. Once installed, the rack was sturdy and looked great. I've since installed two Rocky Mounts bike carriers and they are awesome. Although, the forward tilt of the front cross bar (fault of the car's design not the rack) made the install a little tricky and I had to tighten down the bike rack clamp unevenly back-to-front to get it to work. Just thought I would mention for anyone planning on carrying bikes. 1027177

This review is for the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Aluminum-Silver crossbars and associated legs and custom fit kit (RRVA137s-2, DK284, RRRLKVA) necessary for a naked roof installation on a 2018 Honda CR-V. Just enter the model and year of your vehicle and etrailers website will tell you exactly what additional items are necessary to complete the install. etrailers installation instructions and videos are very helpful. The installation document provided is for more than one vehicle and for more than one style rack, so take your time to understand witch measurements apply to your installation and refer to the installation video if necessary. ON that note: The measurements given for front rack did not fit as nicely on the roof as the rear rack, I adjusted the the front rack measurements slightly. I would suggest trial fitting on your vehicle before cutting the metric rulers to final length. Stick On tags are supplied to indicate front, rear and the location to install on your vehicle. Once the rails are adjusted and tagged you can remove and reinstall the racks very quickly. Korren was very helpful in keeping me informed as to availability of items in stock and email shipping tracking. I am very satisfied with etrailers customer service and happy with the appearance and functionality of the Rhino racks. 1009349

etrailer.com's videos and additional customer support made the purchase of a Rhino Rack system from them for our 2010 Malibu a no brainer. The rack fit the car perfectly, and with the videos and clear instructions that came with the kit, I got it installed on the car with only one misstep. The instructions came the the measurements in centimeters and inches. I didn't have a metric tape measure, and ended up messing up converting fractions to decimal. My Daughter is going to college 500 miles away and is moving into an unfurnished apartment and needed to pick up some small furniture that wouldn't fit in her Malibu. She purchased several items from Facebook Marketplace and was able to transport a twin bed and mattress, a medium sized desk and some dining room chairs (in several trips) with no problems. The only thing I can think of to improve the installation would be to have the Inches measurements in decimal or to include an inexpensive metric tape. 691227

Still rock solid after one year. Very happy with the Rack. My daughter has put things on it from time to time over the past year that wouldnt fit in her car.
