Dimensions of the C-channel on the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars

Updated 04/05/2012 | Published 04/04/2012

Question:

I own a set of kayak holders that slide with t-bolts into the c-channel of Thule Rapid Aero Load Bars. Would these holders be compatible with the Rhino c-channel? What is the size of the Rhino c-channel width at bottom/neck of channel? Thanks

I measured the widths of the c-channel on the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars and the bottom width is 7/8 inches and the neck width is 7/16 inches. I have attached a photo showing these measurements for you to check out.

As long as the t-bolts on your kayak carrier are within these dimensions, then you should not have a problem.
