Video Transcript for Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar Roof Rack System. These are available in a variety of lengths and are available in black and silver. We're going to be using this with the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Leg Kit for raised factory side rails. These are also available in a variety of different sizes. To see which ones are going to fit your vehicle please refer to etrailer.com. One of the great things about having a roof rack system is the ability to carry cargo on top of your roof without having to take up any additional space inside of your vehicle. To build a roof rack system you're going to need a set of crossbars and you're going to need the leg kits that are going to be best suited for your vehicle and your application. Let's go over a few features that make this roof rack system a great system for you.
They're going to be very stylish. They're aero dynamic so it's going to allow you to build a crossbar roof rack system that's going to offer you a stylish and quiet ride. Each bar features vortex strips in the bars top C channel. They're going to feature molded ridges. That's going to help disrupt the air flow and it's really going to help reduce the drag and wind noise. A few other great features about having those strips in there is it's going to help keep out dirt and dust out of your crossbars.
It's also going to provide some cushion for your gear and provide slip resistance. These versatile bars are going to work with channel mounted and wrap around carriers and accessories. Here on the end we have an end cap that includes a pull down tab that's going to provide easy access to the crossbar channel. When using clamp on accessories they simply wrap around your crossbar. The Vortex Aero Bars feature channels in the bottom of each bar. That's going to allow for easy installation of your Rhino Rack Roof Rack Leg Kit.
This system also comes with rulers that place in the bottom channels. It's going to help ensure that your crossbars are centered on your roof. It's also going to help reduce drag and wind noise. The Leg Kit is available with the crossbars or they can be sold separately to help build and complete a roof rack system. The Vortex Aero Leg Kit has some really great features about it.
This part here is going to slide into the channel on the underside of your crossbar. The bolt is actually going to be located on the inside of your crossbar so you will need to remove your end cap. That can be a great feature to help hide that out of the way. Then on the underside we have the pads that are going to fit nicely around our raised side rails. You can see how they have ridges as well as this side has a lip to kind or curl around the outer part of the side rail to provide a nice, secure grip. Those ridges are going to keep the foot pack or the leg kit from being able to slide back and forth on your side rail. It also comes with a special tool. This is a tensioning tool that's going to be used to tighten up the leg kit around your side rail. It has a nice arc to the handle. Once you have the leg kit tight enough around your side rail, this is actually going to straighten up, assuring you that everything is tight enough. We went ahead and assembled three of our legs to our crossbars but we do want to show you how to assemble the last one. Really simple, quick installation. All you need to do is remove the end cap, turn your foot upside down, and it's going to slide right into place into that channel on the underside of your cross bar. Replace your end cap. Now we're set to adjust them to fit the width of our side rails and then we can get them secured onto our roof. We're going to take our front cross bar and place it onto the front portion of our roof rack here on our side rails. When installing this you will want to make sure that the leg kits are straight across from each other. This can be done by finding a fixed point on your side rails and simply taking a measurement back to the closest point of your leg kit. Now we'll take our rear bar and place it onto our side rails. With everything in place we'll go ahead and get it set and make our adjustments, take our measurements and get everything tightened down. To ensure that our rear legs are straight across from each other we can simply just take a measurement from the center of our front bar to the center of our rear bar. In the instructions it states that we need to have a measurement somewhere between 27-9/16" to 31-1/2". For our demonstration today we're going to set them at 30". We'll do this on both sides to ensure the legs are straight across and that our bars are parallel with one another. Before we tighten everything down we do want to make sure that the gasket here is facing outward and not tucked under the leg. When pressure is applied the gasket is going to create a nice seal between the leg and the side rail. Also we need to make sure that we have even bar overhang on each side. This can be done simply by taking a measurement. We'll do this measurement on both sides, once again to ensure that we have even bar overhang on each side of our vehicle. We'll do it for both the front and the rear. Now we'll remove the end caps and then we can tighten everything down. We'll place the tool inside the cross bar and then we can simply turn it in a clockwise direction to tighten up the Allen bolt which is going to secure our leg around our side rail. One of the great things about this system and this tensioning tool is the lever is going to straighten out to let us know we have everything tight enough around our side rail. We'll want to repeat the same tightening process for each leg. For each bar we're going to have to take four measurements. This is so we can install our measuring stick. Two measurements per side. Feel out for the opening of the C channel underneath, place our tape measure to the back of the leg. For our application today it looks like we're going to take about 3" of that measuring stick to cut out and place in our back part. We'll do another measurement here toward the outer point. That measurement is going to be right at 3". If you have the bar set up evenly, then that measurement should be identical for the other side of the rear bar. If you want to double check it doesn't hurt to take more measurements on the other wide. We'll take our measuring tape and place it over our strip. The strip does have measuring increments on there that you can use as well, but since we used the measuring tape we're just going to go ahead and get that exact measurement that we need. Then we'll mark it so I know that I need to make a cut at #70. Simply take a pair of scissors and just cut that strip. Now we'll take our other measurement and I'm going to need one at mark #100, or #140. I'll cut there. Now we'll take the strip that we just cut, place it into our channel and we'll just slide it back in place. It's a pretty good fit so we'll fit our other piece on the inside. We're not going to be able to slide this one into place but you can feel around and you can simply just push it through the channel. We have it pushed in there, now we can slide it into place and we're set to go. We'll repeat this process for the other three legs. With everything tight and secure and our measure strips installed we can install our end caps and then we can take this out on the road and show you how it performs. This roof rack system does have a maximum load capacity so you do want to make sure that you refer to your vehicle manufacturer's handbook for maximum roof load capacity. You'll want to always use the lower of the two figures. These bars come in a variety of lengths. They come in 41", 44", 49", 54", 59", 65" and 71" bars. Each bar is going to measure 3-1/8" in width and it's going to measure 1-13/64" tall. The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Bars all come with limited lifetime warranties. All of the feet for Vortex Aero Bars for factory raised side rails come with limited lifetime warranties as well. You can also equip your cross bars with locking end caps. Those are sold separately with part number RRVA-LEC4. Now we're out on the road and we do not have our crossbar system installed. When we take a look at our decibel meter you will see that with a naked roof it's peaking out at anywhere between 70 and 72. We'll go to compare that with our roof rack system installed and you can see that it only adds about one decibel with the roof rack system installed, peaking out from 71 to 73. That's going to do it for today's look at the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System for Raised Factory Side Rails. .

Great fit and finish. Did exactly what I needed and they look fantastic.

Great product and even better service. I put a hardshell RTT on my 4th Gen Four Runner. The Rhino Rack cross bars work like a charm and is what Noah(customer rep) recommended. They are super quiet, strong and stable. I ordered the product on Wednesday afternoon at 4:40 and it was delivered by 2 pm on Friday! Amazing! Thanks Noah and etrailer!

Package, both items appeared used, but in good condition. The legs were not in the factory box, but just a eTrailer box. The instructions were hard to follow, even with a little help from YouTube. Just about to test drive to check the noise level. Time will tell, there is soft rubber on the legs and it may be wise to remove these when not in use, especially during Florida summers.
by: Sean07/06/2023
Rhino rack products are superior and I prefer them over Yakima or Thule.
However, I would like eTrailer to know, and to warn other customers that over the years the items I order from them always come with cosmetic damage or missing parts due to insufficient packaging.
In this case, my Vortex bars were shipped in the retail box which had opened in transit so two of the end caps escaped and are who knows where. Under a conveyor belt line in some UPS building or in one of their trucks somewhere.
This is not an issue as these end caps I intended to dispose of replacing them with the locking end caps I ordered with my bars and towers.
etrailer, I do not need resolution for this issue but your track record with packaging and shipping is sub par. Please step up your game so your customers receive complete orders.

I haven’t installed rack yet and everything appears to be in order.
* I wasn’t anticipating that Rhino -Rack Sports Ladder Peg (s602) be made of plastic.
Does it have the strength, durability to perform well and not get brittle in colder temps?

Awesome parts. Strong grip and kudos on the rubber flares for the seal.

Using Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, Using Rhino Kayak holders. Also use a Rhino bicycle rear receiver mount. Love Rhino products.....strong, well engineered, low noise, and every part is quality... mounts, straps, etc. Photo is departure picture from last years trip to Big Bend, Texas. We probably put a couple thousand miles on these pieces of Rhino equipment on all types of roads at both Big Bend Park and Big Bend State Park... You really cannot go wrong buying Rhino products. Everything they make is well designed and will not disappoint.

I bought these for my 2013 Rav4 primarily to transport wood from home depot. Getting the bars safely installed and latched onto the cars longitudinal bars was pretty simple. The problem was the whistling. The cross-bars having a tee slot will whistle if you don't properly cut and install the 2 types of rubber/plastic tee-slot blocks provided. There is a slot block for the top, and for the bottom. The top one is easy to install since it is just one piece, but the bottom one requires 4 piece of this tee-slot block (2 outer pieces and 2 inner pieces. It took me a while to get the bottom blocks installed, quite a bit of measure, test cut, check, remeasure, cut, insert, recut yada yada.
Once I thought I had everything right, I could still hear whistling on the freeway and had to re-cut some better fitting bottom slot blocks. It turns out the more you tighten the legs, the more of the tee slot is exposed, and you need to have more of the tee-slot block. Having looked at some of the equpipment you can attach to the top of these tee-slot racks, I don't see why the bottom tee slot is even necessary.
Anyway, once installed (properly), these bars work great. I can transport wood Lol
by: Diy09/11/2021
The instructions is missing the detail about pushing the adjustable leg (the one that grabs the inside of the rail) up toward the top of the leg before sliding the whole leg into the bar’s end. Once you get the idea, it was extremely easy to install. This set up seems to be a universal fit, not specific vehicle. The adjustable plate looks short and only contact about 1/2 in on the inside wall of the flush rail (see pic). I understand that once the whole assembly of 2 legs and the bar is in place it’s rigid and the outside grip on the rail is more important. But I think Rhino-rack could easily make that single part a vehicle specific (longer for the Telluride) to add more security, or at least for the look. I’d like to hear opinions on this from Rhino-rack or etrailer.
by: Harold12/14/2023
This rating is not for the product and solely on the practices of ETrailer. ETrailer erred and did not ship this product when they confirmed and when called to check the status charged me an additional $xx plus for overnight shipping in order that I have the product in time for our trip. 2 of the 3 parts of this order did arrive on time and in good shape, but the fact that Etrailer charged me additional for their shipping error does not sit well with me at all and I would never recommend the company to friends.
by: Greg06/25/2020
The parts were simple to install. The foam padding did drop out as I manipulated the parts, so being aware of its placement during installation was important.
The neat, clean appearance of the items provides a nice look for my 2012 Kia Sorento.

Very well made rack components, and fast shipping from etrailer. However, I will comment that when I entered the year, make, and model of my vehicle on their website, this Rhino-Rack component did not show up as a compatible part. I also sent a message to etrailer before ordering the parts to ask if they might work with my car. They responded saying that these parts are not designed to fit my vehicle. I decided to order them anyway, as I only needed a set of 2 rack legs, and not a full set of 4. The rack pieces actually fit my vehicle perfectly and are quite secure. I believe that these SX series legs are a more "generic" part that would fit quite a lot of vehicles with raised factory side rails.
by: Steven P04/30/2020
Its been one year since I installed the Rhino Rack crossbars and I have absolutely no issues. The main use is to carry my Kayaks on my 2013 Subaru Impreza utilizing Yakima JayLow kayak carriers. The only caveat is to be sure to properly cut and install the plastic channel inserts (underside) or you will experience an annoying whistling sound. If you're looking for high quality crossbars, I highly recommend these.

Just what I was looking for for my 2021 MB Metris Cargo Van with Raised Rails, for hauling a 14-foot SUP. I wanted as low profile as possible and the Rhino Rack SX Series Legs and Aero Crossbars looked best. Relatively easy to set up.
by: Bob04/12/2022
Not my first purchase from etrailer, and it won’t be my last. The research and purchase experiences are second to none.
The racks are just as expected from Rhino Rack. They got here quick, installed in 10-15 minutes, and look great. They easily support my RTT and myself after a big dinner. Excellent quality.
Although, my sticker was messed up! So there. That’s the one con.

I am very pleased with the etrailer.com. Easy to navigate website and expedited shipping for no extra cost. I ordered and received my product in about a week, which is very reasonable for being across the country.
The product arrived in tact and with no damage. Easy to put the rack bars on my jeep. I've included pictures of the completed result. We plan on buying the attachments that will mount our bikes and when we do we will be doing so from etrailer.

I purchased the Rhino legs, cross bars and J-style kaya carriers together and could not be more pleased with the combination. The system was installed in an evening and used the next day. The legs were very simple to install on the cross bars and then mount on the vehicle.
by: Wendy10/31/2020
These feet worked like a charm! We were able to use these to install the Rhino Pioneer Rack onto our existing factory rack (2007 Toyota Land Cruiser). Adam at etrailer.com was awesome!
by: Michael06/23/2020
Made really nice. Instructions were easy to follow. At first I read all of the reviews for this model of rack. The only complaint was the whistle you get after the install. I experienced the exact same thing, however I did use the the "cross under bar strip" after my initial test. Took it back out, and there is no wind noise at all. This rack is awesome, and well worth the price.
by: Kimberli S. 07/16/2019
I spent a week reading reviews and forums to find the right one for my 2019 Jeep Cherokee that I just bought a few weeks ago. I just have to overthink everything but it paid off. I just received them this morning and installed them myself! First time for everything! It was really easy. The only part that was frustrating was the very first part... sliding the rubber pieces into the crossbars. They would not slide very well so I ended up using a bit of oil to make them slide better. Other than that, installation was easy and quick. I LOVE the looks of them. Very gorgeous!!! Thank you so much!! Very happy with the end result!!
by: Dakota05/01/2022
Exactly what I needed to replace the factory cross bars to make it easier to take off my roof top tent. Easy to install and secured nicely to the factory rails.
by: Dan R.04/30/2021
Easy to install on the Bronco Sport factory roof rails allowing for a very low install height for the Pioneer platform!

Great product except it scratches the drip channel on the roof. Would recommend.

- Will The Thule Hullavator Pro Lift Assist Kayak Carrier Work On A 2015 Nissan Xterra?The Thule Hullavator Pro - Lift Assist Kayak Carrier # TH898 will work with roof racks that have at least 4" of crossbar extending beyond the crossbar feet/legs. It also requires a minimum of 130lb capacity for the roof and crossbars, so you will want to check the owner's manual to verify your vehicle's roof capacity.

- Recommended Roof Rack for 2003 Jeep Liberty With Locked OEM Roof Rack and No KeyTo find out who the manufacture of the OEM crossbars on your 2003 Jeep Liberty was you would need to contact a dealer who would more likely have access to that data. If your roof rack is locked and you do not have the replacement key I recommend getting a locksmith to drill out the locks and replace your roof rack with one of our aftermarket roof racks so that you can easily obtain replacement keys for it if the need arises. If you have the Renegade I recommend using the Rhino-Rack roof...

You would first need to install the Rhino Rack Roof Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX008 and you would be ready to use the # RR-RUSL.

This system is rated for up to 165 lbs dynamic (when moving) so it will be just fine for your tent static (non-moving) weight rating needs, but I do recommend checking with your trailer...

First I have the The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Bar - Aero Roof Rack parts #RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX008. This gives you the crossbars that you need. Next I have the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs, Item # TH859XT . This basket will work nicely with the Rhino Rack Bars.

This gives you the 165 pound roof rack capacity needed for a rooftop tent like the Yakima SkyRise HD # Y07437 This combination of the Rhino-Rack roof rack and the Yakima tent gives you what you are seeking without voiding either warranty.

This is needed so that the hardware and awning itself don't interfere with the vehicle when mounted.
