Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at Etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at our Inno roof rack system with the Inno through feet, the 54 inch long Inno arrow cross bars, and our custom fit kit for your 2020 Ford Edge. So you have your Ford Edge and you want to carry different things on top of it. So if you are going out for adventures, maybe you want to put a bike rack or even a kayak on top, or if you're just going on a road trip, you might want to be able to carry more luggage or have more storage space, and you want a roof basket or a roof box. Whichever of those you want, the first thing you need is a roof rack system. So this is the Inno roof rack system with the through feet and the 54 inch long crossbars.
This gives you a little bit more height clearance compared to your low-profile crossbars. Gives you a bit more length compared to your flush crossbars, not as much as if you wanted the wider version, we have it here as well at Etrailer. So we're gonna take a look at this specific system in this specific configuration, just to see if it's a right fit for your adventures, whatever you want to carry, and your 2020 Ford Edge. So the first thing about this system is how tall it is. So compared to, let's say, the Inno flush feet, which is more low-profile and sits closer to your vehicle.
This gives you a bit extra height when it comes to your accessories, it's gonna be helpful. So I'll take some measurements with the glass roof down. We have it measuring from the top of the roof to the bottom of the crossbars, it's gonna sit about three and five eighths inches of clearance. So that's gonna be helpful for if you have accessories that have clamps, clearance for that. If you want to carry your skis and your snowboards, you'll want to have enough clearance for those bindings.
Now, the height added to the top of your roof is going to be about four and three quarter inches from the top of your glass roof to the top of your crossbars. Now you do have a slight slope on your Ford Edge's roof. So that will be a little bit different depending on where you look, though if you want the most clearance, go as far out of your crossbars as you can get. One thing about the Inno Crossbar System is it looks really, really good. You have this sleek black powder coat finish.
This is made of aluminum, which gives it strength. It has 165 pound weight capacity, but also light weight. This is their arrow bars, which means compared to your traditional round or square crossbars, which can be noisy on the road, this is a bit more aerodynamic, reduces wind drag and wind noise. A cool thing about modern aerobars is they now have key slots or key tracks. So when you have things mounted that are T track compatible, you just push this down and mount it, which is a lot better than let's say Rhino-Rack we have to cut the different strips or Tully, which tends to come apart, this is very easy to use. Highly recommended if you are concerned about clearance around your bars. With this having through feet, you do get a little bit of extra overhang, but not much for this configuration. Measure from the end of the tower to the end of the end cap, it sits at about one inch of overhang, which isn't that much. I highly recommend if you do want overhang, taking a look at the longer crossbars. Holding our crossbars up are Inno through feet. So these have locking cores in them. And as you get them as a set, you get two keys that can access all four tower doors or tower caps. So once you have that unlocked, you can now access your roof rack system, mount and dismount it, and then when you're ready to go, you just pop this back in, tighten that down, and that provides you a nice security measure. And finally you have your custom fit kit. So make sure to use our Etrailer fit guide for whatever vehicle you have, because we have the kit fully compiled together with the different things you need, since you have different hooks and you have different pads, notice how they conform to the grooves of your vehicle. You want to make sure you get the right fit for you and then install them properly. So let's take a look at that install process as I guide you through it, just to see if that's something you can do on your own. So the install process for your Inno roof rack system is going to be a little bit involved because it involves a custom fit kit. But that's what this video is for. I'm gonna guide you through the process, explain what the different numbers on your pads, as well as your hooks mean, and then help you get your fit kit, your towers, and your crossbars fully assembled on your Ford Edge. So I already installed the rear crossbar and we are going to install the front crossbar together. So the fit kit for your front crossbar is gonna be the pads with a number 425 on it, and then the hook with a number 121 on it. So we're gonna set up the towers first with the pads for the bottom, so I'm gonna get the 425 one. I'm going to have it where we have our groove facing away from the front of the tower, and just pop it in. Now we're gonna put the towers in our crossbar, but we have to set up the crossbar first. So you're gonna get a plate that looks like this, have it where you have your notch facing outside your crossbar, slide this tray through, and just pop this in from underneath. Once that's in there, you just slide the full silver weight tray through, and then you have this button here, press that button and continue until you stop. Then get your tower with the tray on the inside. You're just gonna line it up. Notice how you have those different brackets, as well as that bolt, so that bolt is gonna fit right on top and then you push in on this tower, see how that just pushes in, as you slide that through. Now how far out do you put your towers before you tighten it down You're gonna have a middle point right over here in the center of your crossbar, and then you're gonna measure out. So for our front crossbar, it's gonna be from the center to the front of the crossbar, 22 and five eighths inches. So I'm gonna measure for that and move the tower accordingly. Once you have it where you need it to be as per the measurements, you can tighten it down with this tool right here. With this in place, you can now put it on your roof. So very gently set it as far onto your roof as you can, and then get it lined up with your measurements later. So our measurement for the front crossbar is going to be measured from the door, and it's gonna be eight and three quarter inches. So just move the center of your crossbar and line it up with that measurement. That's also how we got our measurement for our rear crossbars. With both of them lined up, you're then going to be able to attach the hook. So I left this bolt in our tower and I have to take that one off first. With that out, we can now fit the hook on top, just like that, and then use this bolt to tighten it down. So just hand thread it through first. Once you have the other side with this hook partially tightened on to, you're then gonna use the torque tool included with this kit to tighten it down fully. Now you're gonna have to hear for that click, do it a second time. And then you know it's fully tightened down. And with this fully secured, you can know that even if you slam a door on it, you'll be okay. The final step, once everything is tightened down, is to put the end caps on both of your crossbars, those just pop right in, and your towers. So make sure it's unlocked, fit it from underneath first, and then flip upwards, and then lock it into place. Once that's secure, you are done with the install. So my personal thoughts about this roof rack system is if you are going for low profile, I highly recommend maybe getting the Inno flush feet version instead. It sits a little bit lower to your vehicle, provides a little less overhanging yes, but it's also very low profile. But if you are concerned about the height of your equipment, so you have extra bulky clamps and need that extra clearance, the Inno through feet is definitely the way to go. I do recommend getting the kit that has the 57 inch long crossbars though, compared to the 54 inch long. I think these are a little too short. I would easily use a couple more inches of overhang, but that's also personal preference. It is up to you with whatever you are carrying and what fits for you. One recommendation I do have though, is picking up the Moki door step. This is what I use all throughout the video, just to give myself a little extra height and traction as I tighten things down. Definitely recommended, especially if you're carrying around kayaks or other things that need straps, because those will help you do that safely. And that was the look here at our Inno roof rack system with the Inno through feet, the 54 inch long crossbars, and the custom fit kit for your 2020 Ford Edge..

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.I've been a happy etrailer customer for years. Sales staff helped me pick out the right roof rack setup for my new 2023 Escape that worked with my low-profile rails. 3 separate boxes of pieces but they all came together perfectly. Very happy with my purchase and etrailer customer support! Rack is solid, low wind noise and will work with the accessories I need, kayak carrier and cargo basket.
Noisy driving down the road. The whistle driving at 60mph is ridiculous and the best part, you can’t even exchange them! Thank you for making me look elsewhere for anything that you sell.
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
Great fit for my 2023 4Runner and looks amazing.
I was concerned that other brands that clamp to the existing roof rails could pop-off from upward forces due to bumps/wind (I have 2 17’ sea kayaks) - these INNO clamps have a strap that securely holds the bars in place.
Perfect height to be able to get straps/clamps under the bars, but low enough to keep them from hitting my garage door opening.
Great quality and super easy to install.
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.
One was extremely hard to get on compared to the others (not sure if it was rough machining or something), but once it was on, all was good.
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.
These crossbars are awesome!
Easy install on 2021 4runner off road premium. Looks clean, matchs blacked out on white, eadges of chrome cap matches mirror accents and tail lights. Etrailer video was simple to follow. What it didn't show was the foam rubber strips that you put on under the t tracks slot. With cover off and top most flat part of clamp to edge of bar measures about 5.5inches. Make sure the clamp is flush with bar when you measure. Overall looks good
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.
Well made product with durable components. Fit was good and assembly pretty easy. I would recommend this product.
Definite five star….having all glass roof we were handled super, guided from phone to delivery , video to guide are installing, quality product thank you we’ll be back
High quality metal. Aerodynamic shape - I could not hear ANY wind noise being generated.
Still holding up as well as the day it was installed (Mar'20). I've loaded this system down with a basket full of camping gear and another trip with 3 kayaks and single bike. Everything stayed solid and didn't budge at highway speeds and windy mountain roads.
Fantastic customer service.
This year I had procrastinated my gift buying to the point where a set of roof racks for my wife's car was nearly out of reach, one, because the xmas rush was in full swing, and two, receiving them in time for the holiday was next to impossible. I am so happy that the etrailer team put my worries to rest when I placed my order and ensured me all would be fine. Today, a day earlier then promised, everything arrived.
I can't speak to the quality or fit of the product yet, since it is wrapped and hidden away. I will certainly do so after xmas.
I got my new rack very fast after I ordered it which was awesome I ordered the one I ordered because it had great reviews about road noise… Are used it Saturday didn’t hear anything which is also awesome my paddleboard did not even move on my rack I was concerned about air trying to lift it it’s easy to mount my paddleboard on top of my car and I couldn’t be happier here is a picture for reference...
Solid product at a better price than most other rack bars. Has served me well for a year without any issues.
These bars look amazing on my 2014 Toyota Prius V. Held up the two kayaks extremely well.
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.
Fantastic
Slick look on my 2022 taos!
The trunk arrived in Poland in perfect condition. Packed in a hard cardboard box, it has not been damaged in any way. The trunk is made with great care, it is nice, solid and quite quiet. Thank you for a successful purchase.
Easy to order, easy to install and quite effective in it's use. Thank you.
Good fit. Looks good.
Easy install. Works great.
