Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Chevrolet Malibu, we're gonna be test fitting the INNO Aero roof rack system consisting of part numbers INXB108-115. These are the 42 inch long and 45 inch long crossbars. We'll also be using part number INXS200, these are the INNO flush feet for the Aero crossbars, particularly for naked roofs, and finally part number INK689, and this is the custom fit kit for the Chevrolet Malibu.The INNO Aero crossbars are great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof and freeing up space inside your Malibu. You can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to ski and snowboard carriers. The bars themselves have an aerodynamic shape to them and that, coupled with the rubber strip up at the top, is gonna cut down the wind noise and drag while you're driving, reducing the need for a fairing that you may need for square or round bars.While this roof rack system does boast more of a natural factory look to it that you would get with some vehicles, it does have a disadvantage. It does cut down the amount of space that you can install your accessories with this end cap here.
If you wanted something to have a bar that has overhang to it, you can upgrade as INNO does offer roof rack systems that do that.Removing our end cap here, this is a very easy and simple system to install. The feet are labeled right and left so you know which goes on which side and they have these clamps that simply latch on to your doorframe to tighten up to your vehicle. These are rubber coated so it will prevent scratches or abrasions on your vehicle while you're installing it. If it does wear down, you can buy replacement set kids on our website.These all come with locks already installed, so once you install this onto your vehicle, it's gonna be secured to your vehicle as well. Also, you can see you can use T-track accessories with this.
Unlike other roof rack systems, you simply push down and slide your T-track accessories in place as opposed to cutting the strip once you install them.Now I'd like to give you a couple quick measurements. From the center of the roof to the bottom of the bar is gonna be about 1 and 1/2 inches. From the center to the top is gonna be about 2 and 7/8 inches. That's enough space to get accessories through that wrap around your bars as opposed to using the T-track accessory point. However, if you do have a sunroof, once these are installed with your accessory, I would not recommend using it.With both bars combined, they do have a carrying capacity of 165 pounds, but you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand those weights.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack system, let's go ahead and show you how it installs.
We have our front bar already installed on our vehicle and we have our rear bar partially assembled on our table here. Our next step is we're gonna take our foot and our bracket here and install it onto the other end of our bar. We'll slide out this section here, then install our bracket on the inside like so making sure that metal piece is facing out. Then we'll push it back into place. Then we'll take this end, place it in here.
Also, I would like to point out this is labeled left or right so you know which is which. You'll bring it out slightly. Then we'll take our included Allen tool and tighten down, just loosely tighten, this bolt to that bracket so you can still move it back and forth to adjust it as needed.Next, we'll measure out between the feet. You'll find this measurement in your instructions. Everything looks good, so we can finish tightening down our foot to our bar. With that tightened down, our next step is to install our rubber pad onto the bottom of our foot. You can see how it fits into place. It just pushes in. We'll undo our screw at the end here and install a clamp. You can put that in place and we'll loosely tighten this bolt here just to hold that in. Now we can set this on the roof of our vehicle.Now that we have this in place, we'll measure from the center of the door jamb to the center of our bar and we'll do this measurement on both sides to make sure it's even. Again, you'll find this measurement in your instructions, and now we can start tightening things down. We'll first start by taking our included tightening tool and just getting it snug up against our doorframe. Do this on both sides and then we'll go back and forth tightening down evenly until you hear the audible clicks from our tightening tool to let you know that it's ready and you're not gonna over tighten it.Our final step is we're gonna install our end cap, lock it down, and now we're ready to install our gear and hit the road. There you have it for the INNO Aero roof rack system on our 2018 Chevrolet Malibu.

Low-profile, aerodynamic crossbars create an aftermarket roof rack for your vehicle. Aluminum bars have T-slots that let you mount channel-mounted carriers and accessories. Flexible rubber strips in T-slots keep out dirt and won't need trimming.Great profile. Looks good on truck.
Locking and unlocking very easy.
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!
2016 Golf R MK7
Love it so far
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.
Arrived damaged after waiting 40 days for this item that was listed as in stock but was not! Then told it was in that it finally got to them and it was shipping. Then no ship! Called and was told it was there but they can not find it. Stocked in the wrong area! Finally received it. The damage on the cross bar was packed damaged. No damage to the box! A little unhappy.
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
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.
Josh is the greatest! Thanks for all the help!
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.
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.
Awesome rack for the money!! I’m sure there are better racks, but wind noise is low and it’s solid.
Fast shipping, great customer service and easy to install
fast shipping, great customer service, and easy to install
Inno makes the best products; high quality & easy to use
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 .
Great Roof Rack! Looks very nice on my Ford Focus! Installing a rod pod soon! Quick Delivery! Outstanding product!
Easy install, build quality is really nice as is fit and finish. Almost no wind noise at highway speed.
Heavy duty and well designed feet. Love the locking feature, and instructions were clear.
Perfect roof rack for my car.
