Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Acura MDX we'll be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Inno Roof Rack System. This is going to consist of the Inno Aero Crossbars measuring 60 inches long, with part number INXB153-2, the Inno Through Feet for Aero cross bars, part number INXS250 and the custom fit kit for our MDX, part number INK656.The Inno roof rack system, like most others, allows you to carry bike racks, kayak carriers and cargo baskets on your roof, and still have that aerodynamic shape that helps to reduce wind noise and drag. The Inno bars are also going to have the weather strip like most other cross bars. The only difference is that this one will push down and work with your channel mounted accessories, where others you actually have to remove that weather strip and cut it down. This is going to be easy to install. It's going to clamp around our door frame and lock into place.
This roof rack system has a 120 pound weight capacity, though you do want to double check your vehicle's owners manual to make sure your roof can withstand that much weight. It's also going to come with an easy install. We'll show you how to do that now.Now, everything on our table is what we will need to install our roof rack system. We already have our front bar installed and half of our back bar here. We're going to provide our own flat tape measure, but everything else will come in our kit.
We'll have our end caps for our feet, as well as the keys to lock everything down. The end caps for our crossbars, the tool to tighten everything down, the tool to tighten down our feet as well as the adapter to secure our feet to our crossbar, our feet themselves, a foam block which will go inside our weather channel at the bottom to prevent any wind noise or drag, and then our fit kit, both the clamp as well as the pad. We'll start by flipping our crossbar over.We'll be working on the driver's side of the crossbar. We'll start by taking the inside portion, and we're going to slide that all the way out to the end. We're going to take our adapter piece and line up this notch with the notch on our crossbar.
Place it in, and we can slide it back in. Slide it all the way in, push on the button, and slide it in the rest of the way until it hits the stopper here. We'll line up the small notch and the large notch with the two holes on our adapter. We can measure out the distance between our two feet. We're going to measure this out to 43 3/4 inches.
We're going to tighten down the bolt on the inside here, and this will secure our foot in place to our adapter. Now we'll take the pad from our fit kit. We're going to place it onto our foot. We want to line up the indentions with our bolts on the bottom and we'll just push it into place until we have a nice, secure fit. You do want to double check your instructions to make sure you use the correct pad for our front bar as well as our back bar.Now we can take our clamp. We're going to start by removing our bolts her on on our foot pack. Take the clamp and place it just over where our bolt was, and then tighten it back down enough so that it holds our clamp into place. We don't want it too tight. Now we'll take our foam spacer, place it inside the end of our crossbar until it makes contact with our foot pack. We'll take a knife, and we're just going to mark where the end of our crossbar sits, and we can cut off this excess here. We'll take our knife and we'll just cut right along that line. We can take the piece that we cut and place it back into the channel. Lastly, before we place this on to our vehicle, we'll take our end cap for our crossbar and push it into place.Before we load up our crossbar we want to open our doors, and we can gently place our crossbar onto our vehicle. To measure out our crossbar spread, we're going to measure from the center of our front clamp to the center of our back, and that's going to be 59 centimeters. Make sure we do the same measurement on the other side so that the other side is sitting 59 centimeters away as well. Now we'll take our included torque tool and tighten down this bolt here. We want to make sure we that we tighten down each side evenly so we have a nice, secure fit. Once we hear that click, that's when we know we have enough torque behind our bolt. Now we can take our end cap, place it onto our foot, lock it into place, and we're ready to load up our accessories and hit the road.That's going to be our completed look at the Inno Roof Rack System on our 2016 Acura MDX.

These steel, square crossbars attach to Inno feet to create a sturdy roof rack for your vehicle. Elastomer coating resists corrosion and helps cushion your load. Bars accommodate carriers and accessories that clamp around bars.Great looks, feels very sturdy. Super easy to install. Only downside is they are a little noisy, but that was expected from the square bars. Went with square bars to use my older Thule kayak and bike rack systems. I installed the Inno mounting system myself...no problem. Directions were very good!
Been a month haven’t received them yet they are in stock but guess we are waiting for one item which it’s in stock date gets pushed back every day. And the company doesn’t let the customer know the date changes or when they will send it.
Good quality rack system, easy to assemble and install, works well, looks good, fair price, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I appreciate the guidance I received from William B. at the beginning of my search for a roof rack to carry a canoe on my 2015 Honda Civic. Two thumbs up for this purchase.
Easy to install and have worked great so far!
Super easy to install and remove. Lock feature is great
Works well, has stayed attached with no issues. We've used them (plus the bars) to keep a canoe and a rocket box on the car at different times throughout the year (not at the same time, it's on a tiny golf).
Incredible engineering: does not feel like an aftermarket rack. Easy to take off if necessary. Solid; highly recommend.
Perfection!!!
Perfect fit.
Worked great! Traveled with a carrier on these racks from Chicago to Seattle. No issues, would buy again!
I have two standup paddle boards that literally live in the racks, and have since day one.
The racks are awesome.
Racks were perfect for my Acura MDX. They fit like a glove and I have used them several times.
Really great value! No need to spend a lot on Thule. Even those these are square shaped I actually don't hear much road noise. Besides, you're gonna have music playing or riding with the windows down anyway. I would definitely buy these again.
etrailer.com you guys are great every thing came on time. i bought the inno sq bar roof rack for its price point and i like the look. I have a thule roof box I need to mount . The SQ bars are a bit noisy so I plan on buying the rack faring. On the front mounting pads the directions say there is a gap but it seems extreme i will post a pic I also checked the measurements 3 times. when i get a chance i might re-adjust the front pads.. Please Advise
Just what I was looking for to put up my rooftop tent. These are also a fraction of the cost for Yakima bars.
Waited till I put the new rack to work before review. Used it the first time today and it worked Great. Seems like a very durable rack system. Love that everything is rubber coated so it doesnt scratch the paint on your car. Installing instructions where a little confusing but found YouTube videos from etrailer on how to install exact rack system.
I am a fifty-four year old single woman and being able to install these roof racks by myself makes me feel empowered!!
I watched a video emailed with my delivery confirmation of an installation on a similar vehicle all the way through first, and then watched it again as I did the steps myself, pausing when I needed to.
The products appear to be of high quality, were packaged/shipped neatly and it was easy to organize everything for installation. I couldn't be happier!
Odelia was extremely helpful in helping me choose the right product. I had an end-cap that was missing and she sent me whole package of four. This is the kind of customer support one hopes to receive when deciding to spend a few hundred dollars on a product. I will definitely return to etrailer if I need another car rack for our other car.
Installation is easy. Just follow directions. Front bar parts are different than rear bar parts so you need to look at part numbers and use in correct location. Rack is only rated for 100 pounds but looks and feels much stronger than rating. As noted square bars do create lot of wind noise when driving. Purchase this product to carry my Canoe and it does that at almost $200 less than other rack systems on market. For me the square bars are better fit with ratchet straps to hold Canoe down. Hard to find ratchet strap with hook to fit areo bars.
Dislike. No way to level square bars. With car on level ground high point to high point on bars is level. But each bar is off by 1/8" front to back. Wish they were round bars.
Quick and responsive customer service! Thank you etrailer!
Quick and responsive customer service! Thank you etrailer!
I’ve had many Thule and Yakima racks over the years, both great products, but this Inno product is equally as good if not better at a much better price, I couldn’t be happier! Courtney was super helpful shipping was FAST!! Don’t hesitate....
Great roof rack. Easy to install and du rable!
I followed directions and the rack went on without a hitch. The measuring tape provided was a bit confusing but my tape measure did just fine. It pays to watch for any movement of the stays as you tighten them. It fit perfectly. I was impressed with the quality of the unit. The torque wrench provided was a nice bonus. I attached a boat rack for my rowing shell and I’m confident it will be safe all the way to the water.
