Troubleshooting Fitment of Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist on 2010 Toyota RAV4 w/Factory Roof Rack
Question:
Cant connect the loader to the crossbars of my rav 4 2010. The roof rack is factory installed. The rails are higher than the crossbars so I cant connect to it. Id appreciate some help!!

Expert Reply:
To get the Rhino-Rack Load Assist # RR-RUSL to mount properly on your RAV4, you will need to install a crossbar that sits above the factory installed rail like the Thule SquareBar system made up of the load bars # TH712400 and Evo raised rail feet # TH710401.
The Thule SquareBar application is one of many that the Rhino-Rack Load Assist is confirmed to fit onto.
I have linked the above recommended roof rack as well as the other confirmed to fit your vehicle for your convenience.
