Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota RAV-4, we're gonna be test fitting the Inno aero roof rack system, consisting of part numbers INXB108-115. These are the Inno aero crossbars, 42 inches long and 45 inches long. We'll also be using part number INXS200. These are the flush feet for aero crossbars. And finally we'll be using part number INK646, which is the custom fit kit for the RAV-4.The Inno aero roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories and freeing up space inside your RAV-4. This can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to cargo boxes.
The bars have an aerodynamic shape, and that, coupled with a rubber strip at the top, is gonna cut down wind noise and drag while you drive, and it also eliminates the need for a inaudible 00:00:45. While the overall look of the roof rack system has a factory style look to it, it does have a couple hindrances. One is gonna be how much space you'll lose by cutting off this end here. Most roof rack systems have bars that protrude past the feet, and this enables you to carry a lot more accessories up on top. With this, you're a little bit more limited.
Instead of being able to carry, say, one cargo box and a couple bike racks, now you're only limited to one cargo box or two bike racks on their own.All the end caps do come with a lock included, so they are secure to your roof once installed, and with removing that, you can see with that strip, you can push it down and this can be used with T-track accessories. These are very easy to install. They simply clamp on to your existing doorframe to be put into place, and all measurements and tools that you'll need to install them come with a kit. Next I'll give you a couple of quick measurements. From the center of the roof to the bottom of the bars is gonna be about 2 5/8 inches.
From the center to the top is gonna be about 3 1/2 inches. So that's more than enough space in between the roof and the bar to attach any roof rack accessories that wrap around the bars instead of using the T-track accessory portion. Also it's not gonna interfere with our sunroof here. And both bars combined have a carrying capacity of 165 pounds, but you always wanna double check your vehicle's roof to make sure it can maintain 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 roof and we'll show you how we got those measurements a little bit later.
We have our rear bar partially assembled on our table here, and our next step is to take our flush foot, put it on the other side, and start installing our fit kit as well. We'll slide up the inner portion of our arm. We've gone ahead and flipped it over. Then we'll take our piece here. That just kinda fits into place like so. We'll push that back to the inside, and then we'll take this tab here on our foot, place it in like so, slide it back out, and just lightly tighten the screw on the inside with our included Allen tool. Before we tighten it down completely, we're gonna measure out from foot to foot to make sure we have the proper space in between them before we tighten it down. So we'll measure it out. You'll find this in your instructions. Make any adjustments as needed. Tighten the rest of the way. May need to loosen up the other side just a bit so we can make some adjustments here.Now if we take our rubber foot tab. This is numbered to make sure it's going in the proper location. You'll find it in your instructions as well. And that just pushes into place. Then we'll take our clamp and we'll undo the screw on the end, put that in place, and just loosen tighten the screw for now. Now we're ready to place this on the roof of our vehicle.As stated before, we we're gonna show you how we got our front bar into position here. What we did is we set it into place, measured from the center door jam back to the center here. With our rear bar, we're gonna measure from the center door jam to the center of that bar as well. So we'll set our bar into place gently, just to avoid any damage, and then we'll take that measurement from this point to this end. This will take our included tightening tool, and we'll get our clamps just snug up against the doorframe here, and we'll do this on both sides. Once that's done, we'll go back and forth until they're completely tightened down. You're gonna hear audible clicks when you do this from our tool here, and that's gonna let you know that it's torqued to its proper specification. Final step is we'll put our end caps in place, lock those down, and then we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road.And there you have it for the Inno aero roof rack system on our 2018 Toyota RAV-4.

Low-profile, aerodynamic crossbar lets you build an aftermarket roof rack for your vehicle. Aluminum bar has a T-slot that lets you mount channel-mounted carriers and accessories. Rubber strip in T-slot keeps out dirt and won't need trimming.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.
Racks were perfect for my Acura MDX. They fit like a glove and I have used them several times.
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.
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.
Great racks. High quality parts. Fit perfectly. Went together easily.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
Installed incredibly quickly on my 2014 Prius V with some of the best instructions I could have ever asked for. Used the video as well in tandem and got it on the car in about an hour and a half with my partner. It was a lovely experience, which is sometimes difficult for couples to say in situations like this!
There work great and were easy to install. e-trailer rocks and so does Justin.
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.
It was an easy install with instructions. The rack has held up well so far and looks good on the car.
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
thanks to Adam for help and competent approach. Adam listened impeccably and in the shortest possible time helped to deliver the goods I needed
Very easy to use
Easy to mount and use. Very sturdy aswell. Measurements are a bit off on width adjustment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
