Today on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta we're doing a test fit of the Inno Aeroblade Crossbars. The part number for our crossbars today is I9XB100-2, for our foot pack we're using INXS200, and for our fit kit, we're using INK590. We already have our front bar on, we're going to show you we put the back bar together. We've just got one foot pack left and then we'll load it up onto our vehicle. It comes with everything you see here. The only thing you'll really need to provide is a flat tape, or even a tape measure will work for that as well. First thing we're going to do is put our foot pack together.
I'm going to undo the bolt here at the end, and then I'll take my clamp, and I'll just re-thread my bolt just a few threads so it stays in place. I can take my rubber pad for my foot pack, and just fit that onto the bottom, and make sure that all the seams are closed there. We're then going to line it up onto our bracket that I've already installed. We're going to line up this piece here with this hole, and the smaller piece with the smaller hole. Once those are lined up, we'll extend that out, and then we'll take our longer Allen key and we'll just tighten down the bolts in the center here. What that's going to do is prevent that foot pack from moving up and down the length of the crossbar and just keep it secure in the spot that we need it.
We can now open our car doors and load up our crossbar. We're going to make sure when we load up our crossbar that the thicker end of the crossbar is facing forwards this side a bit, a bit bigger than the other side, we're just going to have that face the correct way. We're going to loosely install these, and readjust the other side. Perfect. With those in place we can take our tape measure, or flat tape at this time, and we're going to measure from the center of the foot pack to the center of the door jam here. All the measurements are in your instructions, but for now, we're going to use forty centimeters as our mark.
With this measurement, you're going to be able to put any kind of roof mounted accessories on your vehicle. You can do roof mounted bike racks, or cargo boxes, or even ski and snowboard carriers, which are all available on our website. We just have to double check that this side is even as well. A good thing to remember is that whatever we do to one side, we want to do to the other, just so our crossbar sits evenly and is secure. With those in the right spot we can now start to tighten down our foot packs. To do so, I'm going to take my tool and start by tightening the clamps so it sits just up against the door frame there.
We'll do the same to the other side. These bars are great, they're a sleek, aerodynamic design, they're going to be pretty light weight on your vehicle, and another great feature about it is that it does have a T-Track area to load up any of your T-Channel mounted accessories. One plus about that is that you don't have to take out this weather stripping here, you can actually leave that in and just push it down to load up those accessories. That's going to keep the aerodynamics of the crossbar and still prevent wind noise while you still have something on your crossbars. With those two up against the door jam, I'm going to start tightening them down. I do about five to ten turns on each side. If you heard that pop, that's going to be like a gas cap noise that you'll hear, that's when you know that your foot pack is completely secure and tightened down enough onto your vehicle, so now we'll just do the same thing to this side, make sure it is secure as well. We can close up our doors here and we'll grab our locking end caps. With those T-Track mounted accessories, as I mentioned before you can keep that weather stripping in, but these covers are also going to protect any kind of bike rack or anything that you have on there. Since they are locking you aren't going to be able to take your bike rack off without having that key and removing that end cap. It's just an added safety feature if you maybe don't have a locking mechanism on your bike rack. With those in place, that's going to complete our look at the Inno Aeroblade Roof Crossbars on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta.

I bought these last summer to affix my kayaks to the roof of my corola. my husband, who is decidedly not a handy person, installed them in an hour and they've been great. no issues– slight whistling at times on the interstate, but that's to be expected. highly recommend!
Great profile. Looks good on truck.
Locking and unlocking very easy.
2016 Golf R MK7
Love it so far
By far the best service I have received in a very long time. I recieved my inno flush feet areo crossbars, sooner than expected and the assembly was just as specified. I especially liked having the video with the tutorial.
I like the look of the low profile and the quality is outstanding. I have used this for my kayak and the low profile helps with the loading and unloading.
I would highly recommend this product and Company.
Josh is the greatest! Thanks for all the help!
Everything about this kit met my expectations.
- Perfect fit for my Ford Edge, as advertised.
- Lowest bar height that was still high enough for the Edge Vista roof to clear. The glass does clear when nothing is attached to the bars.
- Aero bar shape. I haven't done a lot of miles yet with only the bars and no other attachments.
I attached an Inno roof box (which still fits through my garage door!) and did a 2000 mile road trip at insterstate speeds. Except the box noise (expected), and a bit of a mileage hit, I had no issues. Secure fit the whole way.
I bought the whole kit for 2008 honda fit for a cross-country trip, and it performed great. Made it with two surfboards on top with no problems. Instructions for installation are atrocious, but youtube videos can fill in the gaps. Shipping was quick. I didn't use any of the customer service options, but it seems like they would be useful if needed.
I like that the feet don't extend too much beyond the width of the vehicle (2012 Toyota Prius V). No noticeable wind noise or fuel economy change. They held two bikes just fine. The tightening process feels very secure, but took me a while to do. I wasn't in a hurry so it was fine.
fast shipping, great customer service, and easy to install
Easy and worked well with the total kit for our vehicle. Feel sturdy and strong. We’re happy with them.
Thank you etrailer my car looks great I spent 4 hours to ensemble this cross bar and the bask rack but finally I made it now I have more cargo space in my car I really recommend etrailer good quality items and good service thanks again
Shipping and packaging was very good and delivered on time!
Love the flush bar look!
Great product and figment, the service was great as well, the only suggestion I have is if there is a product that cannot be shipped to Canada it should be told when you try to order it, however the follow up call was appreciated .
Easy install, build quality is really nice as is fit and finish. Almost no wind noise at highway speed.
Heavy duty and well designed feet. Love the locking feature, and instructions were clear.
These are really aero dynamic with a sleek design. It doesn’t cause a lot of of air drag like the super known brand.
I bought this for my 2016 Fiat 500X which has two glass sunroofs, and it fits perfectly! Follow the directions, put the bars where it says to, and your glass will be safe. You can't open the sunroof while this is in place, but hey, at least you can haul gear on your roof without breaking the glass.
The roof rack arrived days before it was scheduled to. Everything ordered arrived intact. Assembly and installation were pretty easy per the directions included and the video on the etrailer site. The rack looks fine on my Maxda CX5 and the additional noise from the rack is not too bad. Haven't had my cargo box on the rack yet but anticipate no problems with it. My experience with etrailer has been first rate.
The Inno racks have handled an assortment of different loads without problems. They are quiet at highway speeds. The lack of tie down points are the only drawback with these racks.
Works great
Easy to install and looks OEM.
..GREAT SERVICE ..thankU...
