Speaker 1: Today on our 2015 Hyundai Sonata, we're going to be test fitting the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System consisting of part numbers RRVA126B-2, those are the Vortex Aero crossbars 49 inches long. These bars are also available in silver as part number RRVA126S-2. Part number RRRLKVA, these are the 2500 Series legs for the Aero crossbars. Finally, part number DK455 and this is the custom fit kit for the Hyundai Sonata.The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System enables you to carry a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. This can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to cargo boxes. It does have lockable end caps.
Just take our tool, turn it to the unlocked position and you can see that you can use T-Track accessories with this as well. You would take out the strip, place your accessory in and cut your strip to length around that.Now, there are some other roof rack bars out there that you can just simply push down the rubber pad on the inside and slide them into place as well. Those tend to be a little bit more high end, with this being the more economical choice. The bars do have an aerodynamic shape to them and that, coupled with the Vortex Aero strip on the top as well as the strip that we place underneath, that's going to cut down the wind noise and drag while you're driving. It also makes sure that you don't need a fairing that you would have to buy separately to cut down that noise as well.Putting the end cap back into place, you can replace this with an actual lock core so you make a Keyed Alike 00:01:22 with your roof rack end cap here as well as the accessories that you're driving with.
The end caps do come with the locks included, so you can secure this to the roof of your vehicle. It's very easy to install, simply clamps into place and comes with the tools to do so. Both bars combined have a carrying capacity of 165 pounds, but you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand those weights.Next, I'm going to give you a measurement and that's going to be from the center of the roof to the top of the bar as well as the bottom of the bar. From the center of the roof to the top of the bar is going to be four inches. From the center of the roof to the underneath of the bar, that's going to be two and a half inches.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 onto our vehicle, and we have our rear bar partially assembled on our table. Our next step is to flip this up and start installing our components. We have our leg, the fit kit, the two end caps that we can lock into place as well as the keys to do so. We have our tightening tool and our end cap tool to take those off as well.Once we remove our end cap, we'll flip it upside down just because it's a little easier to put in that way. Now, we can take the end here and slide it into our T-slot of our bar like so.
At this point, we'd actually take a plastic piece to measure out the spacing in-between here. For demonstration purposes, we'll just measure it out with our measuring tape. With that measured out, take our included tightening tool and tighten down that screw in the center. Then, we can start installing our fit kit.This will put our rubber pad into place and it just fits in like so. You just push it in. Make sure that the arrow is facing the right way. Next, we'll install our clamp here. We'll loosen up the bolt at the end all the way. Once we have that removed, we'll put a clamp into place. Then, we'll loosely install our bolt just to hold that in place. Then, we'll finally put our end cap back on and secure that as well.Now, we're ready to set this onto our vehicle. Open our rear doors and set our bar in place. Now how we measured up for our front bar is you measure from the center of the doorjamb here to the center of our front bar. To get the crossbar spread now, we'll measure from center to center of the bars and we'll do this on both sides.Now, we can start tightening them down using the included tool. You will notice that this is curved. When it's completely straight, it's torqued down to its specifications. This is designed so you don't overtighten it. You want to tighten this down evenly on both sides as well. Now, we can install our end caps, push those into place and lock them down. Then, we can install our accessories and hit the road.There you have it for the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System on our 2015 Hyundai Sonata.

I love it works amazing on my 2017 Hyundai sonata sport 2.0T
Product seems very durable, sturdy an rugged, Shipping wasn't bad took about a week to get. However looks like one of my rails was returned an then shipped back to me, the box had someone else's name but scratched out and spray painted, an some of the measurement pieces in the inside where already cut in half. I took the one from the other rail and made it work. Would be a 5 star if that didn't happen. However I would recommend the product overall seems pretty well. This is my first rack I've loaded one box on it and it held it down.
Arrived quick. Looked overwhelming at first but the instructions were easy to follow
I ordered a roof rack for my 15' sonata. Upon receiving the parts I recognized a few of the parts were for a Honda. At first customer service was a bit hard to get a hold of, I would call and be on hold for quite a while. Finally one day I stayed on hold and it was 25 minutes until I was able to talk t a representative. After talking to a rep, she told me to send pics via email and I did. The next day I saw I had not received a reply so I called early on in the morning, surprisingly I got through really quick and i was put on the phone with Laser who by the way rocked. He knew exactly what to do, how to do it and made it all so simple. He alone completely changed my mind about etrailer. If you ever have to contact customer support be patient because you will be waiting and hope you talk with Laser. None the less i received my new parts within 3 days. I give them a thumbs up.
Perfect for a panoramic roof 2015 Sonata limited. Pretty simple to put together
The product is high quality. The instructions were complete and precise. The installation was straightforward. The fit to the car is excellent. The only quibble I have is that there was one bolt missing, and I had to go to the hardware store for that.
I love my rhino racks they been very useful and they are still in great shape
Customer service was excellent. They guided me to get exactly what I needed. Rhino rack is quiet and sturdy. Just be sure to install the measuring strips underneath and the strips on top!
Perfect for my 2018 Hyundai Sonata.
Parts were exactly what I needed.. the customer support was amazing.. every time I called a real person answered and helped me Oder exactly what I needed.. thank you
Haven't installed it just yet but shipping and price were excellent
fits great
This was a great purchase. I originally ordered roof crossbars from somewhere else and immediately returned them. They were a universal fit and were not secure at all when they were tightened down. They were from a third seller on Amazon. I found these on etrailer and I am glad that I made the purchase. I did not want to spend the money at first that these cost, but am glad that I did. The install was easy and the crossbars are very secure and hold up well with the cargo basket installed. They were well worth the money. Can't wait to try them out when we go camping. Thank you etrailer.
I've been using my Rhino-Rack primarily for hauling up to two kayaks. It has performed very. On the particular trip we are on now we went thru some pretty high winds blowing from the side of our rig and the kayak stayed secured. I would highly recommend this for anything you want to carry on top of your vehicle.
Ease of order, receipt, installation and excellent customer service is what I received in this order.
Thank you, e-trailer!
Takes a little while to assemble the rack bars.
The stickers are great I can mark the positions after measuring the distance between the bars.
One of the screws is underneath the bar; it is hard to reach to tighten the bars.
Finally, I got the roof rack installed and it looks good.
Pretty nice rack system. Held up to my 90lb canoe no problem. However a piece did fly off on the highway and the "locking" bar end cap can pull off super easy.
The directions were ok. There is some stuff you have to kind of figure out for yourself, mainly the roof trim. I plan to leave the rack on so I drilled theough the trim
Just followed all the etrailer website prompts for my naked roof Toyota Matrix and it set me up with the three packages needed- rails legs and fitkit. Installed easily enough. I like the little arrow stickers hidden in the door jams for fast re-install later. Held two 10’ kayaks on a 2 hr journey with ease.
This is a perfect fit for our 2015 Prius V with "naked" roof. Instructions were clear and accurate, and the bars are solid and able to support our canoe and kayak easily. We added the air deflector, as there was a bit of wind noise, but now there is none. Great product at much lower price than the big names.
Absolutely love the Rhino Rack. Easy to install (watch the [online] video). Looks GREAT. Hauls my kayaks no problem. Very well made and I highly recommend this product.
