Today on our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, we're going to be taking a look at the Inno Aero Roof Rack System, consisting of part numbers INXB130-138, those are the Inno Aero Crossbars, 51 and 54 inches long; part number INXS250, those are the Inno Through Feet; and part number INK655, and that's the Custom Fit Kit for the Santa Fe. The Inno Aero Roof Rack System is great for carrying a wide variety of objects and freeing up space inside your vehicle. Since it uses the through feet, you can actually have more accessories coming further out as opposed to the other Inno feet that actually cover the end. You can carry a wide variety of accessories ranging from bike racks to cargo baskets to cargo boxes to water sport carriers to ski and snowboard carriers. All four of our end caps have these locks on them, so once you install this to your roof rack it's going to be secured to it. When you remove your end caps, you'll see that it has this rubber strip here in the center. Now, that coupled with the aerodynamic shape of the bars is going to cut down wind noise and drag while you're driving.
Also, it enables you to use t-track accessories. You don't even have to remove the rubber strip. You just push it down and push your accessories into place. When you're all set up, just put the end cap back on. Now, the carrying capacity for both these bars is going to be 100 pounds, although you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand that weight. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack, let's go ahead and show you how it installs.
We have it partially assembled on our table here, and here we have our foot with the cover, the end cap, and the inner bracket, and that's all part of the same kit. Then we have our fit kit here with the pad and the clamp. What we'll first do is take our inner clamp from our foot pack and install it onto our bar. We'll slide this inner portion out, like so. Our bracket here has a little divot that we're going to line up with this portion on our Aero bar. That just pushes into place, like so, and then we'll push it on in to where it was before.
Next, we'll take our foot and we want to make sure that our tab here fits into this portion of the inner bracket that we just installed and that the screw will line up with this portion. We'll go ahead and do that, push it into place, and slide it down the track. Next, we'll measure to make sure that our feet are the proper distance from each other. Now we can tighten down our Allen head screw here in the center to that inner bracket we installed earlier with our included tool. Next, we'll start installing our fit kit. We'll start with the rubber pad.
They are numbered, so just make sure that it's with the corresponding leg. Just push it into place. Then we'll take our clamp and install it on the outside here. We'll first have to remove our screw on the end. We'll just install it loosely and then set it onto our vehicle. We'll open up both of our rear doors and then set our bar in place. Next, we'll measure from the center of the doorjamb to the center of our bar to get our proper measurement there for the spacing between the front and the rear. Once you have those measurements determined, then we can start to tighten it down. We'll first snug it up against our doorjamb here. Once we have them snugged down on both sides, then we'll completely tighten them down by going back and forth and giving about five or six turns each time until they're torqued to specifications, which when that does happen, your tightening tool will actually make a couple clicking sounds, like so. Now, normally at this point we would take our pad here to connect to this portion here to take away the noise sound in your bars, and then cut it to length. For demonstration purposes, we'll just leave that out. After that, you would install your end cap, like so, and then we'll install our locking caps. Hook on like so, push them up, and lock them into place. Once these are both secure, then we're ready to put our accessories on our roof rack and hit the road. There you have it for the Inno Aero Roof Rack System on our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe.

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.
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
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
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!
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.
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
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
They were so helpful. Geoffrey got me the parts the next day and the roof rack works great. Easy assembly. Just needed a little muscle power to click the final pieces together. Everything else was an easy bolt.
Seem to be well made for the price. I didn't realize that they came with locks so that was a pleasant surprise. Easy installation.
