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.

great bars, they have a slight curve to them so they look more natural, like they were made with the car, i went with 2 of the same size on my kicks, even though it was suggested to have one shorter, i think it looked much better in the long run.
I bought these last summer to affix my kayaks to the roof of my corola. my husband, who is decidedly not a handy person, installed them in an hour and they've been great. no issues– slight whistling at times on the interstate, but that's to be expected. highly recommend!
These racks stay glued to your roof! Wouldn’t use any other system with older naked roofs
Great profile. Looks good on truck.
Locking and unlocking very easy.
2016 Golf R MK7
Love it so far
Racks were perfect for my Acura MDX. They fit like a glove and I have used them several times.
By far the best service I have received in a very long time. I recieved my inno flush feet areo crossbars, sooner than expected and the assembly was just as specified. I especially liked having the video with the tutorial.
I like the look of the low profile and the quality is outstanding. I have used this for my kayak and the low profile helps with the loading and unloading.
I would highly recommend this product and Company.
Thank you etrailer my car looks great I spent 4 hours to ensemble this cross bar and the bask rack but finally I made it now I have more cargo space in my car I really recommend etrailer good quality items and good service thanks again
Wanted to keep my 64"Thule square load bars from my older roof rack since Thule changed the load bars to the new v bottom cut version. Read from the reviews that inno rack still allows you to use the old Thule bars.
Large cost savings instead of having to buy brand new rack. Inno rack feet with (old)Thule cross bars work fine with a wind surfer and Thule box! instructions say for a 2016 MDX bare roof but fits my 2022 mdx and well.
Josh is the greatest! Thanks for all the help!
The roof rack arrived days before it was scheduled to. Everything ordered arrived intact. Assembly and installation were pretty easy per the directions included and the video on the etrailer site. The rack looks fine on my Maxda CX5 and the additional noise from the rack is not too bad. Haven't had my cargo box on the rack yet but anticipate no problems with it. My experience with etrailer has been first rate.
I bought this for my 2016 Fiat 500X which has two glass sunroofs, and it fits perfectly! Follow the directions, put the bars where it says to, and your glass will be safe. You can't open the sunroof while this is in place, but hey, at least you can haul gear on your roof without breaking the glass.
Everything about this kit met my expectations.
- Perfect fit for my Ford Edge, as advertised.
- Lowest bar height that was still high enough for the Edge Vista roof to clear. The glass does clear when nothing is attached to the bars.
- Aero bar shape. I haven't done a lot of miles yet with only the bars and no other attachments.
I attached an Inno roof box (which still fits through my garage door!) and did a 2000 mile road trip at insterstate speeds. Except the box noise (expected), and a bit of a mileage hit, I had no issues. Secure fit the whole way.
Good product. Fairly easy to install for a DIYer. I've pushed them to their weight limits and passed with flying colors.
We have actually not driven on a freeway with the rack on top so that will have to be another review. Company has excellent customer service and provided information before we even knew we needed to ask for it. :-) One note: installation measurements were a little difficult to understand exactly and we were 5/8"less that what they recommended for both front and back bars. Everything seems to be mounted securely so we hope nothing is messed up. We 100% recommend etrailer.com. A person answers the phone when you call. What a concept!
I bought the whole kit for 2008 honda fit for a cross-country trip, and it performed great. Made it with two surfboards on top with no problems. Instructions for installation are atrocious, but youtube videos can fill in the gaps. Shipping was quick. I didn't use any of the customer service options, but it seems like they would be useful if needed.
I like that the feet don't extend too much beyond the width of the vehicle (2012 Toyota Prius V). No noticeable wind noise or fuel economy change. They held two bikes just fine. The tightening process feels very secure, but took me a while to do. I wasn't in a hurry so it was fine.
Haven’t loaded it up yet, but assembly was a breeze, the fit rock solid, and it looks great. Shipping was fast and free as well. This went on a 2020 MDX, So far so good!
fast shipping, great customer service, and easy to install
The Inno racks have handled an assortment of different loads without problems. They are quiet at highway speeds. The lack of tie down points are the only drawback with these racks.
Great product. Fit perfectly. Went together easily. High quality parts.
Easy and worked well with the total kit for our vehicle. Feel sturdy and strong. We’re happy with them.
Shipping and packaging was very good and delivered on time!
Love the flush bar look!
Great product and figment, the service was great as well, the only suggestion I have is if there is a product that cannot be shipped to Canada it should be told when you try to order it, however the follow up call was appreciated .
Easy install, build quality is really nice as is fit and finish. Almost no wind noise at highway speed.
