Speaker 1: Today, on our 2014 Volkswagen Passat, we're gonna be test-fitting the Inno aero roof rack system. As you can see, these crossbars have a nice aerodynamic shape to them, so it's gonna cut down on wind noise and drag while you're driving. Seeing this rubber strip up here is gonna let us know we can utilize T-track accessories while we have this installed. You would simply just take off this end cap, and instead of having to remove the rubber strip, like in a lot of systems, you simply just push down right there, insert whatever accessory you might have, and it simply just slides across into place. So there's no cutting involved, you don't have to repurchase any type of rubber strip. Works just like that.
And then you put your end cap on, and then you're ready to go.Down here, we're gonna see that we have a nice lock system that comes with a set of keys for security purposes, for those times when you wanna make sure that no one else can remove your roof rack except for you. You could simply just insert your key, unlock it, and it comes off like that. We're gonna see in our feet kit, there's gonna be a tightening bolt right here that tightens our rubber-coated hook from fit kit under our doorjamb, and clamps it to the roof of the vehicle. Down here with our fit kit, we're gonna have a rubber-coated hook and this nice rubber padding under our Inno Through Feet, and that's gonna help protect the door frame and the top of our vehicle from any type of scratches or abrasions while we're driving.How you put the end cap back on, we have these two hooks right here, and we're simply gonna latch those on right there, fold it up, once it clicks like that you can just lock it right up, and you're ready to hit to hit the road.How we got our front bar in place, was we measured from the center of the doorjamb to the center of our crossbar. And we measured the same length on both sides, and you can find this measurement in your instructions.
We're gonna take a look at the second part of a kit now, and show you everything that's gonna come with it, as long as the rear crossbar, partially assembled.As you can see, we have the other part of our fit kit right here, we have our other through feet, along with the little bracket systems that's gonna come with it. We have our two tightening tools for two different areas of assembly. Then, of course, our end caps for our feet. End cap for the bar. And our set of keys.We have our longer crossbar here, which is gonna be 51 inches.
It's partially assembled. I'll show you guys how we're gonna fully assemble it.We're first gonna turn it over, like so. First thing you gotta do is grab this little metal bracket piece wrapped in plastic. We're gonna pull out this piece right here, in it's original position, is gonna be like this. We're simply gonna pull it out all the way like that.
We're gonna come up under it and insert our bracket, making sure that this little open part is facing the outside, like so. Once you do that, you can slide it right back in. We're gonna pull it all the way back here. When it stops like that, we're gonna come to this little piece and push it in, and then push this slider right all the way in like that.When I'm gonna come up to our other feet, we're gonna grab it and take our rubber pad, and attach it right here. You're gonna see these little notches. Simply insert right there. We're simply just gonna put that on and press down until it's clamped on there like so. From there, we're gonna take our feet, we're gonna take this little part here, insert it right there, making sure this bolt is facing out. So as you can see, we're gonna insert it like that. Once we have it down in there, we're just gonna pull out like that, and now we can adjust it to whatever length we need. Before we tighten that down, we're gonna take our rubber-coated hook, we're gonna untighten this bolt right here. I'm gonna just set it right here for now. Let's take the bolt back through this little slot. And just thread it a little bit, we don't need to tighten it down at all right now. Then you do that. And from there, we can grab our end cap, go ahead and put that on.Now, to measure how far apart we need our feet, you can find this measurement in your instructions. We're gonna go from the edge of the feet right here, to edge, like that. I'm gonna go like that all the way like this. We're gonna see it needs to come in a bit. Maybe just a little bit more. Just a little bit that way. You want to get it as close as possible to that measurement, 'cause that's how it's gonna fit up on our roof. That looks just about right.I'm gonna set our tape measure right there, because we're gonna need it. Before we put it up on the roof, we're gonna take our first tightening tool, and insert it into there, where there's a bolt. As you can see right there, it's gonna go in there and we're gonna tighten that down, and that's gonna keep our feet in place so they don't shift on us while it's installed.And then when you're trying to remove your roof rack system and take it part, you simply just loosen that to get your feet out. Now that's tightened. And if some times your tightening tool might get stuck, but it just comes out with a little bit of force. Come to the other side and tighten it down. We'll just make sure we have it tight. There we go.Now we're ready to go ahead and put it on our roof. Before we do that, you do want to open both of your rear doors. We're gonna leave that right there for now.Now when we first put it on our roof, we're just gonna set it on top before we tighten it down, because we're gonna need to measure to make sure we have it in the right spot. So just like this. We'll just set it right on top for now, making sure the hooks can slide down and get under the door frame like that. I'll just go to the other side and make sure the hook can get in. And it can. And there we go.So how we're gonna measure this thread is we're gonna do it the same way we did the front bar, is we're gonna measure from the door frame to the center of our crossbar. I'm gonna shut this just a little bit, not all the way. And again, you can find this measurement in your instructions. And we are all . So have to come out a little bit that way. Whoops, too much. Just like that. There we go. Once you get that, we're ready to go ahead and tighten it down.Now we're gonna grab our other tightening tool. We're just gonna come like this. We're simply gonna pull out the metal piece, insert it into the center. Now it's ready for use. When we start out, we just wanna tighten until it's snug against our door frame. We don't wanna tighten it down just yet, so we wanna get both sides snug. Let's not pull on either side so it's uneven. So now that that's snug, you saw it moved just a bit as I tightened it down. Come to the other side, tighten just a bit 'til it's snug. So now that this side is snug against it, I'm gonna turn it and tighten it more. Once you hear those audible clicks, that's how you know it's tight enough, which is a neat feature about this tightening tool.Come to this side and do the same thing. Whoop. That's how we know it's tight enough. We can go ahead and shut both of our doors, and we're ready to take off. But not before we put our end caps on, because we don't want anyone trying to loosen and take off our roof rack. There we go. Now you can store your keys and your tightening tools in your vehicle. Maybe in your glove box, or wherever you prefer.Before we go, I do want to make a few measurements to give you an idea of how high those'll sit off your roof. We're gonna have about three and 1/8 inches right there. Now from the top of our roof to the top of our crossbar is gonna be about four and a quarter inches right there. So that's plenty of space to utilize any accessories that might have to wrap around the crossbar, such as a bike rack, or a kayak carrier, anything to that nature. This track, when it wraps around, should not damage the roof of your vehicle, so that's very good to know. If you have a sunroof on your Passat, it also sits high enough to where it's not gonna impede on that, either.The carrying capacity for this roof rack system is 100 pounds, but you do want to double-check your vehicle's manual to make sure that your roof can handle those weights.And there you have it for the Inno aero roof rack system on our 2014 Volkswagen Passat.

etrailer was great to order from! Going to the website makes it easy to see what roof rack will fit your vehicle. Ordering process was a breeze and the fulfillment updates were great. Ordered on the 13th and received it on the 16th so the FREE shipping was super fast. New installs of anything can always be challenging but once I read the the instructions it all went pretty smooth. Installing this Inno Roof Rack onto our 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport was pretty simple and took less than an hours from start to finish. Now we are ready to load up out Thule cargo carrier when we hit the road.
I am writing this review in the context of an owner of an old Yakima roof rack system from many vehicles before the 2021 Hyundai Tucson on which I just mounted four INNO separate sets of components to carry two bikes on top of the Tucson. Note that you need at least three sets of components to have a "base rack" system, including the hooks, in this case the INNO INK680, the INNO INSUT Feet and the INNO INB137 set of crossbars. The feet are rubber coated metal so that they will not mar the paint where they clamp to the edge of the roof just above the doors. The rubber pads are also substantial to provide a slip-proof and paint protecting bottom for the INSUT feet. Read through all the directions for all the components before beginning installation, perhaps even "rehearsing" all the steps before actual installation with tightening everything. The instructions could be clearer, but with practice walking through all the steps they make sense. Once installed, I could grab any part of the completed system and pull upwards, sideways, forwards, and backwards without any play or slack in any of the components. In fact, it was easy to rock the whole car side to side without budging the INNO components at all. Compared to the old Yakima system, the INNO is just as sturdy and substantial if not more so. Just to replace the Yakima "feet" to use my old round Yakima crossbars would have cost more than the total of the three INNO components needed to get the base system. Even better, the INNO system came with included locks to lock the system to the vehicle. Many years ago, the Yakima four lock cylinders were $[XX] extra - probably much more now. So, I think the INNO is at least as sturdy and capable for much less money.
Feels premium and was pretty straight forward to install. I think it looks really good on the 2019 Honda Accord Sport. I plan to pair it with the Inno Wedge 660 cargo box. So far, it seems really well made and has a rubberized texture throughout. I installed it by myself in about 30 minutes without the instructions. It also shipped in only 2 days.
These Inno racks are very high quality, and the installation is straightforward. They look good, too.
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.
THEY DID IT AGAIN! I was looking for roof racks for our 2012 Honda Crosstour. OEM was not available. I called Etrailer and spoke to Anna and she listened to make sure we got just what we needed.Today I'm going to install and hope they fit our needs. I'm really impressed with Etrailer and there customer service! They have taken care of me many times with several different vehicles! Thank you
We bought this along with the INTR - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars. We used this to mount Thule crossbars and a Thule Adventurer cargo box on a 2001 Subaru Forester. Everything fit perfectly. The Inno mounts were completely compatible with the Thule crossbars. The fast and accurate shipping helped avert a crisis before a cross country trip.
Works great wouldnt have bought anything else and protects paint from getn scratched since i dont roof rails
My wife and I bought a 2019 Tyson with a bare roof and wanted a rack system that would be safe affordable and easy to install and not having to Buy and installed side rails. The Inno system was perfect. . It is solid material with a solid build. The directions were a bit confusing but after some time and with the etrailer how to videos it really made the difference. Ordering was simple and fast. Madison was great to work with she was knowledgeable and helpful. The delivery was fast and exactly on time. I was going to go with another company and another rack system…. I’m glad I didn’t. I saved money and got a great product from a great company. Thanks etrailer, Inno and thanks Madison! And mostly for making my wife happy bc know we can get to kayaking!!!
etrailer gave me fast shipping and a great price. Inno quality is great. I’ve had this on for several months and use it to transport bikes. I use the cheap bike racks on [online] but they work.
I purchased the Inno Rack system and Rhino Rack 581 saddles for my 2007 Mercury Montego. The instructions were easy to follow, and the rack is rock solid. It makes loading and unloading my kayak a breeze. I previously used roof pads and that was ridiculous compared to what this rack does for me now. I am amazed with how quiet with and without the kayak attached is - I don’t hear anything except the very slightest amount of wind with the windows open on the highway. I always have put a one turn twist in the bow and stern straps, but for the rest they’re all straight. I added an extra strap on the rear crossbar that goes behind the rear combing of my cockpit for extra security- but that’s just me. I’ve included a photo to show my setup. Thank you so much Mark S, Becky B, Carol C, and George J. etrailer rocks.
I have a 2022 Lexus GX460 Premium. Fairly simple installation and a almost seem less transition from the fit kit to the cross bar system. Can be done by one person, but I would suggest a two-person system to expedite the process.

Love it! Never installed one of these before. 30mins to put together. Another 30-45mins to install on the car. Once you get the concept for once of the bars, the second one goes by quick. It’s just understanding how it works/how it’s suppose to be installed at first.
Everything is good so far...the Inno rack system appears to made of good quality, fit and finish...it took about 2-hrs to get everything built, lined up, adjusted, tightened, loosened, repositioned, then retightened down...but I’m a bit of a perfectionist with things like this...plus I was checking my Saris cargo bin and various attachments, make sure that they’d all, which they do! And very well I might add...I just need to buy some new square carriage bolts for the channel now, along with new knobs...hoping that etrailer will get back to me with info soon...I will likely get a new wind deflector too...yesterday I did a test drive, was very pleased with the minimal whistling that occurred, and that was primarily between 30-40 mph and it was much quieter than my old Saris Roof Rack....after 40 mph the whistling got much quieter, very faint high highway speeds
Roof racks are very loud. Probably won’t keep them on all the time like I was planning. Shipping was very slow and took almost a month to get my order that was in stock. Overall the racks do what I need them to do.
Great system. Got it installed the night before a road trip, and once you get the hang of if, assembly is easy and intuitive. This system is rock solid and well done.
Things I wish I knew that would have helped in my decision:
1) After you install the footbeds, the rails and tower easily remove as one unit in the future, and they include little covers to put over the feet. No more long debates about wind noise. If you find them modify or don’t like the look, take it off in five minutes. Even the Allen wrench is stored neatly in the rack.
2) I had been a long time Yakima user, so that’s where I started with my GX rack. Having searched far and wide for landing pads, I was all set. Step one of the Yakima system: remove factory rails. Having just spent good money on this truck, I’m not taking off factory rails and adding silicone around the holes to create new mounting points. Innos fits nicely to the factory rails.
Well made. A bit complicated to assemble base, instructions could use some diagrams to help.
I was using Yakima Bowdown Kayak racks on my OE roof racks. The shape of the OE cross rails just didn't work well with the racks, and they were always loose. I installed the Inno square tube racks from Etrailer, and all is right in my world. Easy installation (thanks for the detailed instructions!) and a solid feel! No whistling, either! Quick shipment, best price anywhere! Thanks, Etrailer!
I am more than pleased by the service that I had at etrailer. I was looking for a very old roof rack for my Subaru Legacy 2007 and etrailer had it. I was suspicius about it so I wrote them and got a quick and friendly answer that confirmed the fit and availability. Delivery was quick and the tracking from etrailer website was outstanding.
The Inno roof rack fit my 2014 Honda CRV very well. I used it immediately on a 500 mile trip and the rack is fantastic. I connected an XL Thule car box and 11'-6" paddle board to the rack and everything fit fine. The aero design is great and we did not hear any noise during the trip.
Fit perfectly. Went together easily. High quality parts. Great rack for paddleboards.
I was having trouble finding racks for an older VW golf, called cust service and they linked me with proper fitting racks, they came in the mail, and fit perfectly. Very stoked, etrailer for the win.
Great fit for a 2015 Honda Civic SI. If putting a long boat (17' Mad River pictured), the Thule canoe clamps are recommended. Without them, highway speeds would be risky if at all possible. I was pleasantly surprised out how stable the boat was on the rack without the clamps.
Etrailer was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the racks for my 2008 Subaru. Delivery was super fast! Racks are solid and mount perfect! I have no worries that they can do the task for which I purchased them. The only downside is that the locking covers are not as well made as the racks and do not fit properly on my application. Basically they don't sit flush where they should. Only I would probably notice. I also purchased the matching wind fairing which looks great. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend Etrailer for good products and service.
