Spacer Kit for Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars to Clear Retrax XR Tonneau Cover Handle

Published 09/22/2023

Question:

I want to install this crossbar kit on my truck but I have the Retrax XR cover and I want to keep the locking sliding handle from hitting the underside of the crossbars. Is there a space or taller legs mounts or anything I can use?

Yes, to keep the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 from interfering with the operating handle on your Retrax XR cover you just need the Roof Rack Leg Spacer Blocks # RRQMVA25.

These will raise the crossbars 25 mm (0.98") more above your cover which will be enough to clear the handle. I'm attaching a photo another customer sent in who used this kit to solve this exact issue!
