Alright today on this 2010 Honda Civic were going to do a test fit of the Rhino Rack Roof system. Were going to start off with our bars assembled, and then we will go ahead and open up the doors, and put them in place. We will start off with the first load bar, we will put it on top of the roof line and then we will put it in the proper place using measurements. What we are going to do is measure from the center of the door jam here, to the center of the roof rack and thats going to be 11-13/16. Alright next we are going to do the second rail and basically provide the same procedure as before except we will measure from the center of the front rail for proper placement. On our second measurement from the center of the crossbar to center of the crossbar will 27-9/16.
Next thing we are going to do is check our load bars, make sure they are centered from left to right, and then we can go ahead and tighten them down with the provided tool. Alright and you will have to go back and forth to tighten them down evenly on both sides. Alright we are done with the back rail, lets go back to the front rail and repeat the same process. We will go ahead and close the doors and add the covers to the towers. Okay the covers have a hinge on one side and a lock on the other.
With that our roof rack is ready for service, and with that that will finish it for our test fit of the Rhino Roof Rack system on our 2010 Honda Civic.

That I recently purchased.
Very good product the installation instructions are spot on very easy to install it's a two person job though. .I really love the way this looks on my scion xb
The rack fit well and was easy to install. Seems to be made well. The problem is the amount of road noise. I never even put the basket on. It was so loud, it roared. I repositioned it several times but the noise was way too much and I finally just removed it. I spent a lot of money for the rack and the basket and now they are in storage. I wish it would have worked out better because I thought it looked really good.
Ordered a Rhino Rack for my 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Rack arrived in very good shape and all items were there. Installing at this time and see no problems ahead.
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
I love the racks, instructions were understandable, one of my end caps came in bad, it can wiggle off after locking but I emailed etrailer and they arranged a replacement quick with rhino rack, pretty nice of them, comes with rhino rack decal and just have to decide where to put it, out my bike up and took it for a test drive and it was very nice, I love their package because it comes with locks and way cheaper than the competitors, very satisfied
Great product. I put the removable racks and brackets on my car as soon as I received them in the mail and have not removed them since. They are used everyday to hold my Yakima rooftop box.
I struggled to find a good cost effective roof rack for our Honda Hybrid, for hauling kayaks. etrailer by far had the easiest web site for ordering, with quick feedback on delivery. Instructions from Rhino were not the best, but had it complete in an hour. Fits great, and is secure! Thanks. Have ordered many products from etrailer, they are the first place to go for items. Great service!
My Rhino-Rack Aero 2500 roof racks fit solidly on my 2007 Honda Civic EX. I was really impressed with the construction and strength of the rack system. Also the versatility of the 'legs' with a swivel pad allow them to fit any roof pitch perfectly. The clamps are so solid, nothing could knock these racks off. I added a paddleboard attachment and went surfing today. The black racks also look great with the black trim on my silver Honda. Great product at a much better price than Yakima or Thule.
Thanks to Etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
Fast shipping from strainer. Easy to install to my 2009 Honda Civic sedan. Very sturdy and high quality product! I have a Yakima high road installed and it’s perfect for this roof bar.
Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
Very impressed with this rack system so far! Was hesitant at first based on some reviews talking about wind noise, but with the windows up I can hear almost no difference. The noise isolating strips are inside the rack after removing the end cap, so be sure to give them a good shake before assuming they are missing (as per the instructions). Very sturdy and assembled easily.
The rack seems excellent… unfortunately the measuring strip dimensions in the directions were wrong for my 2013 Corolla. So by the time I went to put it on the car they were already cut so after making my own measurements the strips are all pieced together. And now I’m not confident my measurements are good… but I know the directions weren’t right because the clamps wouldn’t even reach the door jam.
Thank you for the very speedy customer service! My roof rack is already here!
I am stuck on part 7 of the setup. The instructions do not clearly state the measurement for cutting the bar strip pieces. It says to refer to the DK Specification sheet, but there's nothing clearly labeled as such within my package. Can you please tell me the exact measurements in cm needed to cut the bar strip pieces for the rhino rack 2500 series euro style roof rack on a 2009 toyota corolla.Thank you for the help.
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
The roof rack is great, just pretty pricy, by me standards.
My only problem with the whole experience was that the roof rack comes in there separate packages. In my order, one package was omitted, which created some confusion. I had to go back to the company and request that the 3rd package be sent.
Otherwise I'm happy with the purchase.
I responded to a previous request fro feedback, so I'm not sure why I'm being asked again, but . . .
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short
I was in a roof rack jam. There was a national shortage of the rack I needed for my car and our summer vacation was a week away. I went to etrailer.com when I couldnt find the roof rack anywhere else on the web. Another website actually suggested that they might have what I needed.
I spoke to Ashley E on the phone to make sure that I was picking the right parts. Ashley was very helpful and knowledgable. She helped me find the right roof rack and made sure that I received it in record time. I am a customer for life!!!
Excellent customer service, all current manufacturers for this type of equipment is not available for purchase because Yakima, Thule, even Rhino Rack did mention from customer service representatives from these 3 companies states you are better off purchasing from a distributor such as E-trailer. This company definitely had the transfer equipment from a Yakima support base to a Rhino Rack crossbar system. I needed the additional load weight and Jaime from E-Trailer was extremely patient and helpful…seriously awesome customer service…also my package came 2 days earlier in this truck driver shortage too. Job well done.
This kit is easy to slap on and sturdy enough to balance my skis and snowboards. I recently used the Rhino Rack on a three hour drive to a ski resort and had no issues.
This rack worked out great... I installed in on a 2017 Ford F-150. We drove 6 hrs through wind and rain with a SUP and Tandem Kayak on top. It really took a beating in a storm the whole way. One bracket was a little loose and shifted because of the wind on the Kayak, but it held together. Super happy with Rhino rack!
We just put up the rack on our Scion XB 2015. Super easy to install with instructions given from YouTube. We did a test drive through the town and on the freeway to see if there was any noise, nothing. So far so great. Package came in the time it said it would show up and just in time for our trip. I'd definitely buy through here again and another Rhino Rack if I needed I one.
The rack was of good quality, solid and anchored well to the car. Putting it on was moderately difficult. The instructions were generalized for different types of cars and that is where the difficulty arose. There were certain quirks about my Corolla that required me to stop and think for several minutes about how something was supposed to be done. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures supplied were helpful but not complete. The thing that I really abhorred about the rack were the security screws. They were like a hex bolt with a strip of metal running down the middle (you will know what I mean if you buy the rack). One of the screws was not quite right and I stripped it trying to tighten it. Not sure why they made it that way but that is the one thing I would change about the kit, ditch that security screw. Overall I would recommend the rack and would buy another if the need arose.
