Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Chevrolet Malibu, we're gonna be test fitting the INNO Aero roof rack system consisting of part numbers INXB108-115. These are the 42 inch long and 45 inch long crossbars. We'll also be using part number INXS200, these are the INNO flush feet for the Aero crossbars, particularly for naked roofs, and finally part number INK689, and this is the custom fit kit for the Chevrolet Malibu.The INNO Aero crossbars are great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof and freeing up space inside your Malibu. You can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to ski and snowboard carriers. The bars themselves have an aerodynamic shape to them and that, coupled with the rubber strip up at the top, is gonna cut down the wind noise and drag while you're driving, reducing the need for a fairing that you may need for square or round bars.While this roof rack system does boast more of a natural factory look to it that you would get with some vehicles, it does have a disadvantage. It does cut down the amount of space that you can install your accessories with this end cap here.
If you wanted something to have a bar that has overhang to it, you can upgrade as INNO does offer roof rack systems that do that.Removing our end cap here, this is a very easy and simple system to install. The feet are labeled right and left so you know which goes on which side and they have these clamps that simply latch on to your doorframe to tighten up to your vehicle. These are rubber coated so it will prevent scratches or abrasions on your vehicle while you're installing it. If it does wear down, you can buy replacement set kids on our website.These all come with locks already installed, so once you install this onto your vehicle, it's gonna be secured to your vehicle as well. Also, you can see you can use T-track accessories with this.
Unlike other roof rack systems, you simply push down and slide your T-track accessories in place as opposed to cutting the strip once you install them.Now I'd like to give you a couple quick measurements. From the center of the roof to the bottom of the bar is gonna be about 1 and 1/2 inches. From the center to the top is gonna be about 2 and 7/8 inches. That's enough space to get accessories through that wrap around your bars as opposed to using the T-track accessory point. However, if you do have a sunroof, once these are installed with your accessory, I would not recommend using it.With both bars combined, they do have a carrying capacity of 165 pounds, but you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure your roof can withstand 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 vehicle and we have our rear bar partially assembled on our table here. Our next step is we're gonna take our foot and our bracket here and install it onto the other end of our bar. We'll slide out this section here, then install our bracket on the inside like so making sure that metal piece is facing out. Then we'll push it back into place. Then we'll take this end, place it in here.
Also, I would like to point out this is labeled left or right so you know which is which. You'll bring it out slightly. Then we'll take our included Allen tool and tighten down, just loosely tighten, this bolt to that bracket so you can still move it back and forth to adjust it as needed.Next, we'll measure out between the feet. You'll find this measurement in your instructions. Everything looks good, so we can finish tightening down our foot to our bar. With that tightened down, our next step is to install our rubber pad onto the bottom of our foot. You can see how it fits into place. It just pushes in. We'll undo our screw at the end here and install a clamp. You can put that in place and we'll loosely tighten this bolt here just to hold that in. Now we can set this on the roof of our vehicle.Now that we have this in place, we'll measure from the center of the door jamb to the center of our bar and we'll do this measurement on both sides to make sure it's even. Again, you'll find this measurement in your instructions, and now we can start tightening things down. We'll first start by taking our included tightening tool and just getting it snug up against our doorframe. Do this on both sides and then we'll go back and forth tightening down evenly until you hear the audible clicks from our tightening tool to let you know that it's ready and you're not gonna over tighten it.Our final step is we're gonna install our end cap, lock it down, and now we're ready to install our gear and hit the road. There you have it for the INNO Aero roof rack system on our 2018 Chevrolet Malibu.

These custom-fit clamps and pads let you mount 4 Inno XS200, XS250, or INSUT feet to your vehicle's naked roof to help create an aftermarket roof rack system. Clamps mount to feet with bolts. Kit includes 4 clamps and 4 pads.Awesome rack for the money!! I’m sure there are better racks, but wind noise is low and it’s solid.
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.
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.
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
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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!
Well made. A bit complicated to assemble base, instructions could use some diagrams to help.
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.
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.
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.
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.
