Michael: Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a quick look at the roof rack legs spacer blocks for your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars. When you're using crossbars, it's important to keep them level as they go across your vehicle, to make sure that they're balanced correctly. That's what these spaces are going to do. It's going to allow you to raise up one side so that you can level that out as it crosses your roof. You can see we've got five different options here, we've got our five millimeter or 10 millimeter or 15 or 20 and our 25.
So it's going to give us lots of different options to ensure that our crossbars are level. These can be mixed together, you just don't want to exceed 30 millimeters. So you could make your five and your 25. If you needed a total of 30, obviously there's other combinations to get you up to that 30.If you need that much, or if you only need 15, you can either do the 15 or a five and a 10, very simple to configure this, to meet your needs. These are all sold individually, they come in a set of two.
So it's going to be two fives millimeters two 10, two 15, so forth. They all come with their individual screws to get them mounted in place. Basically, it's going to allow you to customize your crossbar feet so that you can get those crossbars leveled out. To show you how this works, I've got a foot here.You want to unlock the end there. And you can see on the inside while on the outside, we've got our nut and on the inside, we're going to have our screw, a washer and a split washer.
We're going to use the hex key that came with our feet. We're going to loosen that screw inside so we can take our nut off on top. No more use that same hardware, but we will replace the screw with one of our longer screws, depending on which kit we get. We do want to make sure that we keep that same organization. So the split washer and then our flat washer, and we'll go right back up into our foot.
You can see that it's going to give us plenty of space there. So if we need to add on our 25 millimeter can add that and we would need to go up to 30. We can add that on there too. And we'll tighten down the nut again.Very easy to do, doesn't take much time at all, just needed to know how much space you need there. Once we have that tightened down and put our lock back on, cover there and lock it in place, we're ready to go. Very simple to do. It's going to give us that space that we need to make sure that our crossbars are level. That's going to complete our look at the roof rack leg spacer blocks for your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars.

These 25-mm thick Quick Mount spacers bolt to the tops of 2 legs to level a crossbar on your vehicle's roof. Sold as a pair of 2.I have a Retrax XR and yes the handle slightly hits the cross bars. I could have used the 10mm spacers but for extra clearance I bought the 25mm. They worked great, were an excellent fit and simple to install. I would recommend these spacers for anyone with the Retrax RX and intend to use the Rhino Vortex Aero Cross bars.
They work well with the rhino rack cross bars
Etrailer responded quickly and replaced parts lost in transit. Purchased many items from Etrailer and have always had a good experience.
Functioned as designed.
Great fit for getting your Retrax handle clear. I bought the 25mm but could have got by with the 10mm but the extra height was good. A must have for the Retrax cover. Super customer service!
Perfect fit, fast delivery. Raised bars above antenna
The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero kit for the 2019 Mercedes Benz Metris Worker van (no roof rails) is a perfect fit. The 3 racks are in perfect alignment with the spacer blocks and can be removed in about 3 minutes to take the van into the car wash.
Make sure you download the specific installation instructions from the manufacturer for the proper installation of the support legs.
Overall I like the rack. Aero bars are quiet, rubber grip strip on top is nice. Product is high quality. My only gripe is the mounting feet and it’s fit on the Mercedes Metris. Each foot is only able to utilize one bolt hole on the factory placed mounts. Using 2 per foot would be much better like in most other applications I imagine. But once it’s all assembled and installed it seems fine. Height spacer blocks are perfect, bars are all on the same plane. Looks good too! Etrailer also has real people working customer support who answer the phone and help you out. I highly recommend the rack and buying from etrailer!
Needed just a little more clearance of my roof rack due to my GPS fin. Lifted up my bar just enough. Worked perfect and also leveled out my bars so my rooftop tent aligns straight into the wind
Added the height I needed.
Etrailer had the item IN-STOCK when no one else did. It was very well priced and I got it in exactly 3 days as expected. Outstanding experience. Thanks folks - great work!
This worked and did what I needed it to do. The order was sent quickly.
