Question:

I was looking to get a roof rack for my 2021 corolla hatchback. While looking up the Rhino Rack for that car I noticed the package only had the option for 46 long bars but Rhino Rack also makes 49 and 54 bars. Could I use the longer bars like the Thule setup or should I just stick to the 46 option. Thank you for your time.

You'll need to stick with the 46 inch crossbars for the Rhino-Rack roof rack that fits your 2021 Toyota Corolla hatchback. The reason why is they have a channel underneath that the feet slide into, and the channel on longer bars may not have the necessary length for longer bars to fit your Corolla. So what you'll need for the complete Rhino-Rack set up on your '21 Corolla hatchback is the following:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2

- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA

- Custom DK Fit Kit # RR22FJ

You made a really nice choice going with the Rhino-Rack as well, because it is the best overall value for a roof rack; Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at a better price point because you aren't paying extra for a specific brand name printed on the crossbars.
