Video Transcript for Rhino Rack Roof Rack Review - 2017 Nissan Altima
Today on our 2017 Nissan Ultima, we're going to be test-fitting the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack system consisting of part numbers RRVA126S-2, these are the silver crossbars; part number RRRLKVA, and these are the 2500 Series legs for the Vortex Aero Crossbars; and part number DK381, and this is the custom fit kit for your Ultima that clamps it on to your vehicle. Now, we already have the front on installed, and you can see that it has this nice aerodynamic shape to the bar itself, and that coupled with the rubber strip on the top here will actually cut down the wind noise and drag while you're driving. It is lockable, so once you actually attach both crossbars to your vehicle, it is secured to your vehicle as well. Now, the combined weight capacity for both bars is 165 pounds, although you always want to double-check with your owner's manual to make sure your roof can withstand that kind of weight. Also, these do come in black as part number RRVA126FB-2. All right, let's go ahead and show you how the rear one goes on. We already have it partially assembled on our table, here. We'll go ahead and take our 2500 Series leg, and we'll actually slide it into our track here with this metal bracket, here. It'll just slide in like so, and then we're going to go ahead and do a couple of measurements here to determine the spacing between this edge here and our leg. Normally, you would have measuring strips that you would cut to length, put them in there so it's more of a permanent application, but for demonstration purposes, we'll just go ahead and measure it out. You can find these measurements in your instructions.
Now we'll take our included tightening tool and tighten that bolt in the center. Good. All right, next we'll go ahead and take our rubber pad, making sure that the arrow is facing away. It just pushes into place. Then finally, we'll attach our clamp.
We'll first remove this bolt here. Set that in place, then we'll reinsert our bolt, just loosely. Okay, then we'll take our end-cap, push that into place, and then take our special tool to secure it. Now, you can have these knocked out and replaced with lock cords 00:03:16 as well, but those are sold separately. Let's go ahead and set this on our vehicle, now. We'll open up both of our rear doors and then we'll set our bar in place. Now, we're not setting this in the exact spot it's supposed to be, and we're going to have to measure that out.
You notice how the pads actually conform with our roof, here. All right, now I'll go ahead and get our crossbar spread measurement. That's what I mentioned earlier. Again, you find this measurement in your instructions, and you're going to be measuring from center of the bar to center of the bar. Now, how we determine the measurement for the front one, we actually measured from the center of the door jam, to the center of the bar. Just so you know. Okay, now we'll take our tightening tool and we're just get them snug up against the edge of our door, there, and then tighten them down completely.
Push up, like so, and turn it to the right to tighten it up. Do this on the other side as well. Now we'll give about five or six turns to each side until it's completely tightened down. The way you know it's completely tightened down, you'll notice that the tool here has a curved edged. Once that straightens up as you're tightening, you'll know it's completely tightened, so you don't have to worry about overdoing it or under-doing it. All right, looks good there. All right. Now our last step is to go ahead and install our lock and caps. All right, it looks like we're good to go. There you have it for the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack system for our 2017 Nissan Ultima.

2017 Pontiac Trans Sport Van
The racks fit perfectly! They are a great fit to my car. They don’t interfere with the sunroof’s operation. I assembled it on my own with no difficulty. It was easy to assemble. The directions it provides to you are easy to follow. The only down side was getting the plastic pieces to lock on the ends of the bars. Other than that they are great and they look great on my car! I plan to use them to transport kayaks! They are very sturdy and very trust worthy for transporting a couple of kayaks. I recommend these racks to anyone who has a 2016 or 2017 Nissan Altima!

Great alternative to the other makes that cost a few hundred more. Very stable. Easy to set up and perfect fit! Looks great on my car. Just waiting on my bike rack to come in.

Excellent communication and excellent product! Melissa an asset with etrailer. Will continue buying products. Can’t say enough.

I beat the heck out of this rack on a Daily basis. I throw kayaks, luggage, several 16 and 20ft 2x6’s, plywood, camping gear, and anything else large and typically put into the bed of a truck. You wouldn’t believe me unless I showed you the kind of life my equipment has. It’s gotta be tough. I do wish that it had a better grip strength forward and backwards because unless the load is heavy and large enough, if a strap is used from front rack to back rack, the racks tend to slide towards eachother as it ratchets tighter. However if you run the strap across and hook the strap back onto the same bar, the way the rack flexes causes the grip to be immovable and is incredibly secure. But with no load, I can hammer fist the racks forward or back wards even when tightened down with the torque wrench. So I feel maybe some minor adjustments by the company would definitely solve this. All in all, yes it’s a bit on the higher price side, It’s got that one con (sliding), but has definitely exceeded it’s factory “max load” specification and structural integrity. I would recommend this product. It’s a great rack.

2014 Nissan Altima
I purchased the Rhino Rack Series for my 2014 Nissan Altima. I needed it rather quickly for a bike trip I was taking so I ordered expedited shipping.
Almost immediately the staff advised me via phone call and email that the product could not be expedited due to it not being readily available in the distribution center.
Although I was disappointed, I appreciated the emails and phone calls and began to think up options for transporting my bike. The staff indicated they would keep me updated as they looked for a solution.
And then, the next day, I got an email to say my product shipped and would be here on time! I was so excited!
The team at etrailer was amazing from start to finish. They figured out how to make it happen! They were excellent at communicating and the product arrived in good shape and had everything I needed, including the Spec Sheet for my car.
I would definitely order from them again. Now we'll see how the rack does on the trip!

2015 Nissan Altima
I purchased this rack for our 2015 Nissan Altima. We ordered the system with the square "Euro" bars. Package arrived quickly and in good condition. Instructions were generally good and easy to follow although the information on where to set the supports on the "Euro" bars was incorrect. I looked at pictures of installed systems to see where the supports needed to be on the roof and then manually moved them in place. It took a little adjusting back and forth with trial and error, but it ended up working fine. Since then the rack works well and seems quite solid. We are pleased with the quality and value for the cost.

Great Racks. Fit my altima perfect. They do have some wind noise, but I ordered the wind fairing to help that issue out.

Awesome product.....perfect for my camping and fishing gear.....
by: Mike M07/24/2016
As advertised. Rack arrived promply and assembly instructions were clear.
by: John03/03/2021
Overall, this rack deserves a 5/5. This rack is very durable and easy to use. I am confident that my two-person kayak will stay put for long road trips. I drive a Nissan Altima and I would recommend this to anybody with a similar body style.

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.

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.
by: I dream of canoes05/22/2023
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

- Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Altima that is Better Than SportrackFor your 2017 Nissan Altima the Sportrack roof rack part # SR1010 is as confirmed fit but since it's only a semi-custom fit rack and designed to fit multiple vehicles we have found that it doesn't fit any one vehicle very well so we don't recommend it at all. Also based on this we don't have any installed pictures of this rack on your vehicle either. Instead I would go with a custom rack that fits your vehicle like with the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126S-2, # RRRLKVA,# DK381 as this...

view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2017 Nissan Altima to Carry Ski RackAny standard ski rack would work well on the Sportrack roof rack # SR1010 that you referenced but this is not the roof rack I would recommend for your 2017 Nissan Altima as we have found it does not fit very well since it was designed to basically fit too many vehicles. A much better and still reasonably priced option is the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RREB126B, # RRRLKVA, # RREB-FK1, and # DK381 which gives you a really great fit and much higher quality components.

- How to Carry 4 Bikes with 2015 Nissan AltimaClass I hitches like the Draw Tite # 24796 that fits your 2015 Nissan Altima can only carry up to 2 bikes at a time as the additional weight and leverage is too much for the lower weight capacity hitch. So your best option would be a 2 bike rack like the Thule Camber part # TH9058 which fits the Class I hitches and we know works great on Altimas like yours. See attached review video. To carry 2 more bikes you'd need a roof rack like the Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK381...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Altima 4 DoorYou would first have to have a roof rack on your 2013 Nissan Altima to be able to carry kayaks. The roof rack I would recommend is the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK381 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I would then recommend a Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 for both of your kayaks as well. This is a J-style carrier that would fit the rack I recommended and would work well for both of your kayaks.

Instead I would recommend the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK381 which is a custom fit rack that will fit very well. I attached a picture that has the fit dimensions for this roof rack as well.

- Best Aero Roof Rack for 2018 Nissan Altima to Carry SurfboardYou ask a very good question. Safe beats sorry every day of the week! The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero rack, which includes black crossbar part # RRVA126B-2 that you referenced, along with parts # RRRLKVA and # DK381, will work great for a surfboard. This rack has a 165-lb capacity and it will be compatible with a wide range of carriers. I have included a link to our surfboard carriers that will fit aero-shape bars. I recommend the Inno Board Locker Surfboard Carrier # INA744 because it includes...

According to my contact at Yakima, Yakima does not offer an adapter that will allow the Sidewinder bike rack to be used with elliptical style crossbars because the weight of the bike rack and a tandem bike would be too great...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Recommendations for 2015 Nissan AltimaThe Rhino Rack 2500 Series roof rack would indeed be a fit for your 2015 Nissan Altima. The rack would consist of the following component parts: # RRVA126B-2 # RRRLKVA # DK381 For a roof mounted cargo basket, the Yakima # Y07138 OffGrid would be a great choice. The basket is economically priced, but is rugged and highly rated by our customers. The basket also includes a fairing, which will help quiet the wind noise caused by the basket.
view full answer... - How Can I Haul 4 Bikes On My 2016 Nissan Altima?I have a solution to transport 4 bikes, but because your 2016 Nissan Altima has the 1-1/4" Curt Receiver # C11352 which is a class 1 hitch you are limited to using a 2 bike carrier. Unfortunately, you cannot use the Saris Freedom 4 Bike Platform Rack # SA4414B that you have. I recommend mounting a 2 bike carrier on the back of your 1-1/4" hitch and then mounting a 2 bike carrier on the roof of your Altima. For a hitch-mounted bike rack I would go with the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform...
