How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Inno Aero Bars on our 2023 Audi Q5. The number one reason a person generally gets rooftop bars is to increase the amount of space they have for cargo and bulkier items. You know, with the Q5, you don't really have a large cargo area, so if you wanna add a rooftop carrier, maybe a rooftop tent, rooftop basket, any one of those accessories, this is gonna work with most of them. It's just a great way to make use of space that you normally wouldn't have to transport items. So you're gonna press the small tab here and remove our end cap, so we can take a look at our T-track. Essentially, this is gonna be about an inch tall, about an inch wide, and you have a under track slot for accessories as well that's about 10 inches.
So overall, if you have most accessories, they're gonna work with this bar. Let's see, as far as your overhang, you don't really have much going beyond the vehicle. But your rise here from the top is right at 2 1/2 inches on center, so that's gonna work with just about everything out there. You also have a keyed alike key for each one of your feet to secure your bars to the top of your vehicle, and that just removes really easily. Once you get this guy installed, if you loosen just the nut on the inside, you'd be able to just remove it whenever you need to take your rooftop bars off, if you need a car wash or you're just storing them for the season.
So let me show you how to install this on your Q5. I'm gonna hop into the install. Take your aero bar, and you'll notice there's a slot on the bottom of it. This is actually where you install your feet. So you're gonna push down the little black button, slide it in, and that'll free up the channel to install your foot.
Make sure with the end cap removed, you'll align the cleat at the bottom, and this guy will just snap into place once you pull up on the lever. So now, it's locked in and you can adjust for the spread of your crossbars. I'm gonna do the same on the other side. Grab your rubber pad, and you're gonna put that at the bottom of your foot. This is what's gonna help protect your bar against scratching.
And you're gonna take your pad with the barrel nut and install it on the inside here with the pad side facing the foot. And then the final part, the same way. And as you see, you're creating a clamp that'll wrap around your crossbar. And I just kinda hand tighten the bolt through that barrel nut that's in the inside clamp just to get it started to hold it in place. And I'll do the same on both sides, then we'll put it on top of our vehicle. And once you have your crossbars positioned, I use the fixed mounting points on the raised rail themselves. There's two holes on the back of here where I use my position for my spread, but since there isn't a fixed point for the Inno to work, you can position the spread however you need for whatever accessory you may have. Using the included torque wrench, you're gonna go from side to side, slowly tightening up till you reach your torque spec just to make sure you're getting even tightening, 'cause it can cause one side to lift up, you know, if you do it completely on one side versus the other. So I'm gonna hop to the other side, tighten a little bit more, and then come back, and I'll let you see what that torque click sounds like with the wrench. (nut clicking) (wrench cranking) And that's just the sound of everything settling, and once you hear that click, it'll no longer turn, and you've reached a specified torque requirement. And we're gonna take our cover with our keyed alike key and secure our crossbar to the vehicle. As far as the spread that you have with this guy, on center, you're right at 29 inches. But you do have the usage of the entire length of your raised rails on your Q5. So this has been a look at the Inno Aero Bars on top of our 2023 Audi Q5. Have a great day.

It all worked out. Great service and follow up
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.
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.
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.
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.
