Today in this 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, we're going to install the Rhino Rack Roof System with Aero bars, product number DA11A and DK306. I've already got my bars set up and measured out, ready to go. Let's go ahead and install it on the vehicle and see what it looks like. First, we'll open up the front doors and install the front bar. Ok, before we can tighten down our car rack, we're going to need to measure out 10 and a quarter inches from the edge of the door frame to the center of our foot pack of our front crossbar, and then we'll go ahead and tighten them down. And tightening down your crossbar is going to be a two-step process.
First, on the driver side, I'm going to take up the slack in the clamp and start to tighten it down, then I'll move over to the passenger side, take up the slack, and tighten it down fully and then go back to the driver side and complete tightening it. This way, when you tighten it down, you won't pull the bar all the way too far to one side or the other. Now with the front crossbar tightened down, we'll go ahead and install the rear bar. The rear bar is going to set 27 and 9/16 inches from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. Alright.
Once we get the rear bar measured out, we'll go ahead and tighten it down just as we did our front bar. Now, with all four foot pads tighten down, we can go ahead and install our end caps. Ok, with our end caps installed, that completes the installation of our Rhino Rack Roof System. Let me go and give you a measurement of the overall height added to the vehicle. We've had an additional 4 and 3 quarters inches to your overall vehicle height, and that does for our test fit of our Rhino Rack Roof System on our 2012 Volkswagen Jetta..

The installation was easy and it does it’s job. My only gripes are the locks are a little tough & the wind noise can be a lot if you get a good head wind! Besides that I’ve enjoyed it
Very easy to put together, the videos definitely helped. Racks have been installed for 3 days with zero movement after installation and they are very quiet while driving.
so far it looks outstanding! it was fairly simple to assemble all the pieces together and tighten it down to my car. can’t wait to try it out
I received this product, exactly when expected. I was disappointed at first to find that the keys to the locks we're missing from the box. After a quick call to etrailer.com, I was able to give the lock number to their support and the next day I was given confirmation that new keys we're being shipped to me. etrailer was very accommodating to my problem and acted swiftly. I would definitely do business with them again.
End caps fell off after a few months. I notified etrailer and they sent me a link to buy more. I asked why these weren't covered under warrany and they have not responded.
Quality seems ok, installation was fairly easy. Not real happy with the actual crossbars though. They are pretty short and very thin. Definitely thought these would have more “spread” across the roof from the photos.
The rack was shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived quickly. Easy installation and it fit great. The fit and finish is very good.
Product is excellent quality! Would definitely recommend. My only complaint would be that the product came in 3 separate packages with 3 separate instructions so it wasn’t clear which one you should start with. Once we figured out the order of the instructions the install was pretty simple.
My car looks great with the rack. I love it. Send it
Good pricing, fast shipping plus sold as a complete kit unlike other sites. Company and customer photos were easy to do comparisons
Wonderfu!
Great product at a great price. I'd recommend it to everyone.
The rack arrived quickly and in good condition and was very easy to install. It also looks great on my Jetta.
Ease of order, receipt, installation and excellent customer service is what I received in this order.
Thank you, e-trailer!
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.
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
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.
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.
The Rhino 2500 series is well built. The etrailer customer service person Trevor W. was great. He was so helpful in getting the right components for my Rhino 2500 roof rack to mount to my 2010 Silverado. Thanks for the help Trevor.
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.
