Is Rhino Rack Square Bar Rack Same Quality as Thule for 2016 Kia Forte5  

Updated 02/14/2017 | Published 02/13/2017



Question:

I am deciding between the Rhino Rack square bars and the Vortex Aero bars. In the past I have used Thule square crossbars on different vehicles. They worked fine in my Honda Accord but i needed a wind fairing for my CRV to reduce the noise. The amount of wind noise seems to depend on the vehicle. Do you know if the square bars are noisy on a Kia Forte5? A reason I am considering the Rhino products is that they are less expensive than Thule products. I used to get a discount on Thule products at a time when I worked part-time for LL Bean. is the quality between Rhino and Thule comparable? Thanks

Expert Reply:

Rhino Rack and Thule both make square crossbar roof rack that are very similar in quality. When available I recommend Rhino Rack as they cost less and offer basically the same quality.

For your 2016 Kia Forte5 you would then need the part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK403 to complete the rack. Then for a fairing you would want the part # RRRF2. We haven't tested for wind noise yet but with this fairing you are going to have the least amount possible.
