Today on our 2012 Kia Soul, we will be test fitting the Rhino-Rack roof system, part numbers DA126 and DK237. To begin our test fit with our roof rack system already assembled, well go ahead and set the crossbars onto the vehicle, and with this particular model, well measure from the door seam to the center of the foot. Our measurement is 310 mm. We will again measure from the drivers side, from the center of the foot to the door seam, that way we can get our crossbar perpendicular to the vehicle. Well go back and forth tightening the bracket up against the vehicle, and get a nice fit. Now that were finish with the front crossbar, well go ahead and set the rear crossbar onto the vehicle.
The crossbar spread for this roof rack system is the measurement from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar, and ours is 700 mm. The crossbar spread is an important measurement as it will determine what roof rack accessories are allowed for this roof rack system. Once you have established this measurement, you will need to tighten down the roof brackets with the Allen key. Once the rear crossbar is tightened down and secured, you can now put the feet face plates on and lock them in position. And that concludes todays test fit for the Rhino-Rack roof rack system, parts number DA126 and DK237, on our 2012 Kia Soul.

These heavy-duty, aluminum crossbars work with Rhino-Rack legs to create a sturdy roof rack. The square bars include built-in C-channels for mounting Rhino-Rack heavy-duty, contractor-grade accessories.I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Sturdy, solid and well built materials. Followed the install instructions to the letter but found I needed to widen the width of the front mounts by 10mm in order for the rubber foot to seat properly on the ledge as shown in the picture provided in the instructions. Unfortunately now the underside track has a gap. Other than that, it is very solid and should hold any amount of gear I choose to carry.
Thanks to etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
The rack fit well and was easy to install. Seems to be made well. The problem is the amount of road noise. I never even put the basket on. It was so loud, it roared. I repositioned it several times but the noise was way too much and I finally just removed it. I spent a lot of money for the rack and the basket and now they are in storage. I wish it would have worked out better because I thought it looked really good.
love it, no problem and easy to install and take on and off, 47,000 miles on the highway and not a single issue. I even like the song the ladder hums to me driving down the interstate. This is my second Rhino and both have preformed to a high standard.
Ordered a Rhino Rack for my 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Rack arrived in very good shape and all items were there. Installing at this time and see no problems ahead.
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
No matter how much I adjusted/tightened my roof rack legs on my 2013 KIA Soul, they never fit tightly and perfectly. When I finished my trip, my rack was loose. An expensive, $500 lesson.
Seemed to work well with my 2012 Kia Soul. I have only had it on my car for a day at writing this so I can't really give it five stars. I would bump it up to five stars once its been on for a few months. Easy to install, and after doing a bit of research Etrailer.com Had the best deal, and support for installation.
Thanks to Etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
Thank you for the very speedy customer service! My roof rack is already here!
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Things went well. Customer service was great.
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short
I was in a roof rack jam. There was a national shortage of the rack I needed for my car and our summer vacation was a week away. I went to etrailer.com when I couldnt find the roof rack anywhere else on the web. Another website actually suggested that they might have what I needed.
I spoke to Ashley E on the phone to make sure that I was picking the right parts. Ashley was very helpful and knowledgable. She helped me find the right roof rack and made sure that I received it in record time. I am a customer for life!!!
This rack worked out great... I installed in on a 2017 Ford F-150. We drove 6 hrs through wind and rain with a SUP and Tandem Kayak on top. It really took a beating in a storm the whole way. One bracket was a little loose and shifted because of the wind on the Kayak, but it held together. Super happy with Rhino rack!
This kit is easy to slap on and sturdy enough to balance my skis and snowboards. I recently used the Rhino Rack on a three hour drive to a ski resort and had no issues.
Love this rack! It was easy to put together and install on my 2011 Kia Soul. It made me love my car!!! Even though other reviews have mentioned some wind noise, I have noticed no nose or anything else annoying about driving around with the rack. I've taken it on one big camping trip last week and it worked great!
Thanks to etrailer for all the great videos and instructions!
This is my second Rhino-Rack. They go on very easily and hold the bikes/kayaks and even an extension ladder very well....thanks for a great product
Awesome !!!! Looks great..easy to install. I highly recommend etrailer!! They are great. Bought a tow package for my Kia soul as well and love it.
Love the roof rack! Works great for ka yaks!
Watch the video 4 times to make sure I assembled it correctly. But have to say it was easy especially for me!! I used the rack on my 2012 Kia Soul, which does not have much room for luggage. The rack worked fine.
This is an excellent product. It was the only product that would fit my truck. I was able to mount it by myself, it took me longer than I thought it would, but it helps if you watch first a video on line about how to put it together. The support staff is excellent if you miss any parts. I highly recommend it for the 2015 Nissan Rogue.
