Today on our 2012 Toyota Highlander well be test fitting a Rhino Rack Roof Rack System. Well be using the bars part number DA1375 and the fit kit part number DK138. You can also use the black bars which are part number DA1375B. Weve already got a roof rack system assembled according to the instructions so now were ready to mount it up on top of our vehicle. Well take the front crossbar assembly and set it up on top of our roof. Well need to measure 150 mm from the center of the gap between the doors to the center of our crossbars line.
Once we have it in position, well use the included wrench to tighten down the adjustment bolts on either side. Then we can move on to the rear bar. Again, well open the doors in the rear and set our rear crossbar up into place. To position the rear bar properly well need to measure from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. This measurement should be 800 mm or about 31-1/2 inches.
With the rear bar in place, again, well tighten it down the same way we did the front. And with that our Rhino Rack System is installed and were ready to start loading your accessories. Thats it for our test fit of the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System part numbers DA1375 and DK138 on our 2012 Toyota Highlander.

This custom fit kit lets you mount 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 legs to your vehicle with a naked roof. Clamps mount to legs with bolts. Includes 4 clamps and 4 pads.These Rhino bars are rock solid, a kayak does not move at all, and there is virtually no air noise from the rack. The included locks are not found on a lot of racks, definitely add peace of mind. Recommended.
I wanted to share the items I used to be able to haul two Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145 kayaks on my 2006 Scion xB. This may help others who struggle with deciding what to use. I am pleased with my purchase and hope this helps. I originally thought I wanted the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero, but they discontinued making the fit kit for their roof rack systems and I ended up going with the Kuats. I am glad that they didn’t make the fit kit for approximately $[XX] and so they missed out on the rest of my business. Here are the items I used for anyone interested – pictures included. Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof #DK138, Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - 1 Kayak - Black #KU53VR and these are really cool, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 #RRRLKVA, Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 #RRVA137-B2. The 54” crossbars fit really well and the perfect length in my opinion and it doesn’t stick out like the longer ones would. Also purchased two sets of these Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops for Bow and Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 #MPG308.
These Aero Racks are perfect on my Scion XB, stylish cool look & importantly Quiet with absolutely no wind noise! Also bought the Rocky Mount Cargo Basket & it comes WITH a full bunji net cover. It is also quiet with no wind noise & you can tie surf gear on top like racks (use padded rack pads) & or put things inside for more carrying space. Also a cool stylish look on the Scion XB or any other compact car like my wifes Toyota Yaris... We move it back & forth to who ever needs the Cargo Basket for the days Adventure.
I finally got the roof rack installed. When I received the shipment 1 of the rubber pads for the foot plate and the 4 rubber measurement strips were not included. I called and received the missing parts. The rubber measurement strips were too wide for the slots in the crossbars, I called about the strips and was told they were the correct strips. They would not fit, so I had to modify the strips to use them to complete the installation. This is the Rhino Rack 2500 series Euro Crossbars (square bars)

Item # RRM641 are the correct strips for the Euro and the Aero Crossbars. Here is a demonstration video about them:

This is a great rack!! It was so easy to install with etrailer's step by step instructions. Everything about this experience was great! Tori B answered all my questions, handled the order and some how got it shipped out on a Sunday. Amazing!!
Instructions were confusing which made assembly and installation challenging. Even after being on the vehicle a year, it still isn't completely secure and will move (slide forward or backwards) when attaching something to it. I'm sorry to say that I'm disappointed with this purchase.
This product is great! Rhino Rack makes it easy to to put together and onto your vehicle. It is easy to install by yourself and does not take a long time at all.
Easy installation with the instructions.
Very well made and easy product to use
Worked as advertized.
Great
Easy to install great product
This was a great purchase. I originally ordered roof crossbars from somewhere else and immediately returned them. They were a universal fit and were not secure at all when they were tightened down. They were from a third seller on Amazon. I found these on etrailer and I am glad that I made the purchase. I did not want to spend the money at first that these cost, but am glad that I did. The install was easy and the crossbars are very secure and hold up well with the cargo basket installed. They were well worth the money. Can't wait to try them out when we go camping. Thank you etrailer.
Ease of order, receipt, installation and excellent customer service is what I received in this order.
Thank you, e-trailer!
I've been using my Rhino-Rack primarily for hauling up to two kayaks. It has performed very. On the particular trip we are on now we went thru some pretty high winds blowing from the side of our rig and the kayak stayed secured. I would highly recommend this for anything you want to carry on top of your vehicle.
Takes a little while to assemble the rack bars.
The stickers are great I can mark the positions after measuring the distance between the bars.
One of the screws is underneath the bar; it is hard to reach to tighten the bars.
Finally, I got the roof rack installed and it looks good.
Pretty nice rack system. Held up to my 90lb canoe no problem. However a piece did fly off on the highway and the "locking" bar end cap can pull off super easy.
The directions were ok. There is some stuff you have to kind of figure out for yourself, mainly the roof trim. I plan to leave the rack on so I drilled theough the trim
Just followed all the etrailer website prompts for my naked roof Toyota Matrix and it set me up with the three packages needed- rails legs and fitkit. Installed easily enough. I like the little arrow stickers hidden in the door jams for fast re-install later. Held two 10’ kayaks on a 2 hr journey with ease.
This is a perfect fit for our 2015 Prius V with "naked" roof. Instructions were clear and accurate, and the bars are solid and able to support our canoe and kayak easily. We added the air deflector, as there was a bit of wind noise, but now there is none. Great product at much lower price than the big names.
Absolutely love the Rhino Rack. Easy to install (watch the [online] video). Looks GREAT. Hauls my kayaks no problem. Very well made and I highly recommend this product.
The Rhino 2500 series is well built. The etrailer customer service person Trevor W. was great. He was so helpful in getting the right components for my Rhino 2500 roof rack to mount to my 2010 Silverado. Thanks for the help Trevor.
This was the kit for my 2020 equinox. The spacing of the feet on the vortex aero bars was incorrect I had to use the Euro sizes. Went back and forth with customer service trying to get confirmation that was the right size but it never was confirmed. Everything is installed now and sturdy.

are solid as a rock. However the plastic s for the gap on top fall out constantly, and they whistle like crazy when that happens. Added branded wrap-on padding for the cross bars to damp the sound and cushion our Kayaks
