Today in our 2016 Ford Focus we're going to be test-fitting the Inno Aero Crossbar roof rack system, consisting of part numbers INXB130-138, these are the Inno Aero Crossbars 51 and 54 inches long. Part number INXS250, this is the Inno through feet for the Aero crossbars. And part number INK528, which is the fit kit for the Ford Focus. The Inno aero roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. Both bars have a combined carrying capacity of 120 lbs, although you always want to double-check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand those weights. With the end caps, once you remove those, you can see it has a rubber strip in the center here.
Now that combined with the aerodynamic shape of the bar is going to cut down wind noise and drag while you drive. Also, since it has this rubber strip, you can use this with t-track accessories. Instead of having to cut the strip to length and put it around them, you simply just push it down and slide your accessories into place. Also, on each end with our feet here, they are lockable, so once you install this onto your roof it's going to be secure to your roof as well. Now that we've gone over some of the features of this roof rack system, let's go ahead and show you how it installs. We have our rear bar partially assembled on our table here, and next we'll take our through foot and put it onto the end here. We go to the end of our bar here, and slide this piece here all the way out so that bracket is sticking out.
Then we'll take our inner bracket, which comes with our foot kit, we'll push that into place like so, and it will fit properly. We'll push it back in til it gets to that point, then we'll take this top portion of our foot, we'll stick it into this portion here, they'll fit in together like so, and then you push them into place. The next step is we'll take a measurement to get the proper spread between our feet. Measure it out . looks good. Then we'll take our included Allen tool and tighten down our bolts in the center here.
Get that nice and tight. Next we'll install our fit kit, which is going to consist of the rubber pad here and our clamp. These are numbered, so always double check and make sure that they're going to the proper foot. Looking at the bottom of our rubber foot, we can see that it matches up with our foot here. That'll just push into place. Finally, we'll install our clamp.
Remove the screw at the end here, place our clamp on, and just reinstall the screw loosely, and now we're ready to set it on the roof of our vehicle. With the bar set in place, now we'll measure for our rear crossbar, and that's going to be from the center of our doorjamb to the center of the bar. You'll find this measurement in our instructions. It actually looks pretty much on spot there. Repeat this on the other side. With our measurements done, now we can start tightening them down. We'll get them snug up against the door first, then we'll tighten them down completely. Once you hear those clicks, it's completely tightened down to your roof. Our next step is to insert this foam piece here to the end to take up the space underneath to help out with wind noise and drag. Then you would cut it to length. But for demonstration purposes, we'll have to leave that out. Our final steps are going to be to install our end caps to our bars, which just push into place like so. Then our locking end caps, which insert like so as well. Once these are installed, we can install our accessories and hit the road. There you have it for our Inno Aero Crossbar roof rack system on our 2016 Ford Focus.

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.Waste of money. Most annoying couple hours spent in a long time. Extremely disappointed. Does not fit well. Not exactly a cheap option, but a cheap option in terms of fit and engineering. The instructions online and in the kits do not agree. But there is no helping the design. Plus there are no universal set of instructions--they are all individual items for the fit kit, the bars, etc. But a reasonably inclined person can figure it out so no big deal, but the engineering design is garbage--requires precise measurement yet the design is such that exact measurement is impossible due to the design.
Additionally, the parts are low quality Either low density plastic or easily stripped bolts. Even when as precise as possible, I wouldn't trust it with my kayak. What a mistake. Do yourself a favor and get a Yakima trailer or similar. It isn't that much more money in the scheme of things and then it isn't tied to your car. Can add a hitch to most vehicles anyway.
Racks were perfect for my Acura MDX. They fit like a glove and I have used them several times.
Love the slots on top. Simply cut a 5/16 elevator head to 9/16 inches left to right, slide it on, and you can attach just about anything. The foam holds the bolts in place to make installation of an accessory easier. I put on a Thule ski box with no problem at all. Noise: I have not driven with just the racks on, only with the racks and Thule ski box. At around 60 the box gives off some wind noise (of course). Since it only comes from the box side of the vehicle it appears the racks are pretty quiet. Oh, the instructions do not say which bar is front and which is back. The only way to figure it is by using the diagram for where to tighten the feet.
Has worked great for transporting my fishing Kayak as well as small loads of lumber. It has worked fine for about a dozen and a half boards at a time or a couple of sheets of plywood. Just make sure that you have a good way to strap them down as well as maybe a rubber mat to help hold everything in place. The noise from it on the high way can be a lot but certainly not as bad as some that I have heard. I figure that anything on the outside of a vehicle like that will produce some noise.
worked as expected, I used them to carry my hobie outback kayak (about 100lbs) on my Honda Civic 2016 Coupe (2 doors). They worked with no problem so far (1 year) even under high speed like 70mph.
We recently purchased 2 kayaks & Thule roof racks from our local outdoor store.
After waiting 2 weeks for our roof racks and J bars to come in we found that the Thule racks did not fit our 2017 Lincoln MKX and they didn't make any racks that would. The vehicle does not have roof racks and has a moon roof.
After a couple of days searching the internet we discovered etrailer.com. We found the Inno roof racks, but still was not sure they would work. We spoke to a repesenative and he assured us that the racks we chose would fit and the Thule J bars we did return would also work. As you can see by the photos 2 days later we were happy Kayakers.
This kit does not fit well. All measurements have been double and triple checked down to the millimeter. The lock on the covers interfere with the hooks. You have to apply so much pressure to get it to close that it makes the rack come loose. Not very satisfied
I bought these as part of a kit with 60" Aero bars and the appropriate kit for my 14 Flex. I spent probably an hour and a half double checking my measurements and getting them torqued down properly. I spaced the bars on top of the car just a little wider than proscribed because I was planning on carrying 4x8 plywood, and it looked better to my eye. One thing to watch for: The instructions for the car-specific kit (in my case INK263) show the foot spacing measurements for a square bar, and the measuring point for these feet and Aero bars is different. That measurement point is indicated in the instructions for the feet, not the kit. Same numbers, just different reference point. Otherwise, they look good and are rock solid.
Installation was a little tricky but once the "feet" were attached to the roof and the bars properly spaced, everything wrapped up very well.
There is no noticeable wind noise with these installed.
I did a lot of searching before selecting this rack for my Durango RT (no factory roof rails). It is easy to reinstall once the initial process is followed, I marked my doorjambs with a sharpie and it is easy to set up. Great product!
Great racks. High quality parts. Fit perfectly. Went together easily.
These are made perfectly for your vehicle. They are very secure when combined with the other Inno products. No worries of the rack system coming off. Using them to transport kayaks using kayak holders.
These feet are easy to use and go well wit the Inno system. I was worried since my car did not come with any roof racks, but this is the solution to haul things on my roof. They work well and are very secure.
etrailer was the only vendor who had the custom fit roof rack feet I needed for my vehicle. I was trying to put a roof rack onto a Dodge Durango SRT...not a typical vehicle for this accessory! I looked everywhere for a suitable roof rack and thought I was settling by ordering the Inno kit from etrailer. I could not have been more wrong! I am so happy with the purchase!
One was extremely hard to get on compared to the others (not sure if it had some rough machining or something), but once all we’re on, all was good
Just installed these and they seem great . Good price and good looking design . Time will tell of the overall quality but so far happy with the purchase
I have had countless bike racks over the years and this is by far the best system I have ever had. Fits like a glove on my F150. Easy to install, looks great and the bikes do not move when on the roof.
Tule and Yakima did not have a rack for my Nissan murano. So it was a blessing to find the immo rack. It seems like it can fit any car model. It's strong and secure. I feel my equipment will be safe with this rack.
Started assembly last summer and finally completed installation this spring. Directions took a lot of attention to detail but were adequate. Rack went on car securely and looks great. Have attached kayak rack and a roof pod and both worked flawlessly. Would definitely recommend.
I’ve had the system in place for over a year now and haul dual kayaks often! I love it! The only thing I wish I could change is the wind noise that’s comes with it. But I’m sure with any rook rack system you get that.
Rack detached from my roof on the highway at about 70mph, taking my cargo container with it. Luckily, no one was behind me as it would have very easily caused an accident. Customer service was terrible and didn’t accept a return. Damaged the contents of the cargo container.Do not buy this product or from this company as they will not help.
Once I realized which bar was the front one and which was the back it was a fairly easy install. Since the measurements for the foot placement were wrong in the instructions I would suggest not tightening the feet all the way to the bars until you put it on the car. It would have been nice if both sets of rubber pads were the same, with the tunnel hook, and if they had adhesive backing to avoid losing them. I added 2 sided tape.
Installation went pretty smoothly. The trick is to fully understand each step before moving to the next. There are a lot of small parts which at first was a little intimidating, but soon I was able to "get with it". I love the finished product and think you helped me get a good deal. Thank you for that
Product is great. Fits perfectly with some minor measurement adjustments. Can be assembled by one person, but helps to have two. Bought the complete roof kit and well as the Inno 80 basket for a Mazda CX3, took about two hours to assemble everything.
Noticed box was taped up more then usual, found other manuals that was not specifically for this, and also found one of the feet already had been mounted as there was scratches on the plastic and metal parts
