Speaker 1: Today, on our 2013 Nissan Rogue, we'll be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System. This is going to consist of the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part number: RRVA126B-2; the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Leg, part number: RRRLKVA; and the fit kit for our Rogue, part number: DK146. Now, keep in mind that our crossbars are also available in silver, part number: RRVA126S-2.The Rhino Rack Roof Rack System is a great solution for carrying your vehicle accessories on your roof, whether those are bike racks, ski and snowboard carriers or cargo baskets. It's going to help free up space inside your vehicle, allow you to carry more passengers or more gear.The aerodynamic shape of our bars is going to help to reduce wind, noise and drag as well as the weatherstrip on the inside channel. If we remove our end cap, we can see that our weatherstrip is easy to remove. We can cut it down and place in channel-mounted accessories.Though we have a plastic lock core on our end cap for our crossbar, we do have the option to place in a metal lock core which will help to reduce theft and tampering of any channel-mounted accessories.
On our leg kit we do have a metal lock core and this is going to help to prevent theft and tampering of your roof rack system all together.Our fit kit is custom-cut to our vehicle, so it's going to give us a nice, secure fit when everything's tightened down. It's also going to have a rubber coating on any portion that touches our vehicle to prevent any scratches or abrasions.The Rhino Rack Roof Rack System has a 165-pound weight capacity, though you do want to double check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your roof can withstand that much weight.These crossbars themselves are going to measure at 49 inches long, though we do have longer options available on our site. You just want to make sure they don't extend out past your side view mirrors.The Roof Rack System is also going to come with a limited lifetime warranty and be quick and easy to install. We'll show you how to do that now.Everything that you see on our table is what we'll need for our install. We're going to provide our own flat tape measure, but our kit will include: Two crossbars.
Four legs for our leg kit, as well as four end caps. We're going to have four clamps and four pads from our fit kit. Four end caps for our crossbar. An included tool to tighten everything down. A key for our end caps for our crossbars and the keys for our leg kit.Now, we'll start off with our leg kit, removing our bolt here.
Take our clamp and place it over our leg kit and we'll start to tighten it down. Want to tighten it down just enough so that it holds our clamp into place. Then we can flip our leg kit over and remove the plastic bottom. We'll take our rubber bottom and secure that together. Once we have that completely closed up, we can place on the plastic portion, making sure that our arrows on each are facing out towards our clamp.
We'll place our leg kit onto our crossbar, sliding it into the channel at the bottom.Now, we'll measure out the inside channel here. You will have these inserts with your kit. They have the markings on them for your measurement. You can cut it down and place it into the channel. That will help to reduce wind, noise and drag. You can always use the extra on the outside edge as well, but for demonstration purposes we're just going to use our flat tape measure. We want that to measure out to 16.1 centimeters. Take our included tool and we can tighten down our bolt here in the center of our leg kit. We'll finish off this portion with out end cap for our crossbar and locking that into place.Once we have our vehicle doors open, we can place on our end cap, making sure that our clamps sit around our door frame here. Now, we'll measure out our crossbar spread. This is going to be from the center of the front clamp to the center of the back. Want to measure that out to 70 centimeters, and we'll do the same thing to the other side.Once we have everything in place, we can take our included tool and start to tighten our bolt down. Now, we'll know we have our bolt completely tightened down when the skinnier portion of our torque tool is completely straight, just like you see there. Now, we can take our end cap for our leg kit and lock it into place. We're ready to load up our accessories and hit the road.That's going to be our completed look at the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System on our 2013 Nissan Rogue.

These heavy-duty, aluminum crossbars work with Rhino-Rack legs to create a sturdy roof rack. The square bars include built-in C-channels for mounting Rhino-Rack heavy-duty, contractor-grade accessories.I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
I want to let you know that I really appreciate the help, speed and quality of service you provided to me.
Actually you saved the day for me, I was struggling with other web suppliers to order the roof rack, they were either not knowledgeable to know the correct configuration for my car or they did not have the part in stock and needed a long lead time.
My time was very short as I am moving in a few days, I called Rhino roof rack manufacturer and asked them who is their top dealer and they referred me to you.
I am very grateful for your help and the shipping the roof rack the same day I called!
Thanks to etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
The rack fit well and was easy to install. Seems to be made well. The problem is the amount of road noise. I never even put the basket on. It was so loud, it roared. I repositioned it several times but the noise was way too much and I finally just removed it. I spent a lot of money for the rack and the basket and now they are in storage. I wish it would have worked out better because I thought it looked really good.
love it, no problem and easy to install and take on and off, 47,000 miles on the highway and not a single issue. I even like the song the ladder hums to me driving down the interstate. This is my second Rhino and both have preformed to a high standard.
Thanks for the free expedited shipping. I have installed the roof racks and I am very pleased. I am attaching a photo of the installed racks. Thanks
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
Ordered a Rhino Rack for my 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Rack arrived in very good shape and all items were there. Installing at this time and see no problems ahead.
Thanks to Etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
Thank you for the very speedy customer service! My roof rack is already here!
Things went well. Customer service was great.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short
I ordered a rhino rack and was pleased on how easy it was to install. Instructions were straight forward and I installed it in 30 minutes in my driveway by myself.
I was in a roof rack jam. There was a national shortage of the rack I needed for my car and our summer vacation was a week away. I went to etrailer.com when I couldnt find the roof rack anywhere else on the web. Another website actually suggested that they might have what I needed.
I spoke to Ashley E on the phone to make sure that I was picking the right parts. Ashley was very helpful and knowledgable. She helped me find the right roof rack and made sure that I received it in record time. I am a customer for life!!!
This kit is easy to slap on and sturdy enough to balance my skis and snowboards. I recently used the Rhino Rack on a three hour drive to a ski resort and had no issues.
This rack worked out great... I installed in on a 2017 Ford F-150. We drove 6 hrs through wind and rain with a SUP and Tandem Kayak on top. It really took a beating in a storm the whole way. One bracket was a little loose and shifted because of the wind on the Kayak, but it held together. Super happy with Rhino rack!
This is my second Rhino-Rack. They go on very easily and hold the bikes/kayaks and even an extension ladder very well....thanks for a great product
I have had this roof rack system on my 2011 Nissan Rogue for a year now and it has held up great.
After 1 year the roof racks still look great. They are used weekly to transport Kayaks to the Adirondacks and have held up well.
Two items I received surprised me when I unpacked the box were the rails because they were not black like I saw in the picture, and the rubber insert that I am having a hard time sliding in the rail. Should this rubber insert have come already installed in the rail or is there a top on how to put in with ease?
I had a set more than one year and very happy with it. Very easy to put in and very strong build. Im carry a two kayaks weekly and Im glad I did right purchase from this site. And your video of installation just right. Thank you for your support!
