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.

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.Perfect fit for my car, well packaged and detailed instructions. Easy order process and fast shipping. Will buy from etrailer again. Thank you
Worked great! Held up a roof top tent all summer. No bending or damage from use.
This model is not the most stylish and sleek roof rack but its sturdy and made with quality materials. Easy to set up and its even easier to put on the vehicle and take off the vehicle. I only put the rack on my Ford Focus when I go kayaking. Great bang for buck!
Work exactly as described and after a year, still in great condition.
I am writing this review in the context of an owner of a Yakima roof rack system with round crossbars from a vehicle many vehicles prior to the 2021 Hyundai Tucson on which I just installed an INNO roof rack system with the INSUT Feet, INNO NB137 crossbars and 2 INNO INA391 roof bike racks. The INNO crossbars are rectangular in profile, rather than round, but with a grooved top that mates with the INSUT feet, the crossbars should stay firmly put where they are set in the feet. They do not weigh much, but feel pretty solid given their light weight and relatively thin metal walls. One change I would suggest to INNO is to put a factory mark on the center of the crossbars rather than supply a flimsy little decal for the user to measure and place on the crossbars. I never bothered to try to exactly center the round crossbars on my Yakima system, but it is important, at least on the naked roof of the 2021 Tucson, to properly space the feet from the center of the crossbars. I will probably eventually just put a dab of white touch-up paint to mark the center point.
Fantastic customer service.
Andrea is great.
Thanks for your help!
Pretty bendy, could be a bit more solid. But they do the job
Easy to install and very sturdy. Might be more expensive than others on Amazon but trust me spend the money on these.
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!
Package arrived quick one problem thou blue box inside big brown box which held the roof rack bars was damaged and when i opened it up the rubber end caps are missing is it possible u can send them to me i would appreciate it Thank you
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.
My order just arrived this afternoon and I have not yet looked at everything by I am upset over the rails falling out of the box as it is damaged. I will be looking to make sure all parts are contained but so far not thrilled with the condition of the materials as delivered.
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.
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.
Very noisy, had to take them off when not in use.
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!
