Video Transcript for Rhino Rack Roof Rack Review - 2017 Honda Civic
Today in our 2017 Honda Civic, we'll be taking a look at and showing you how to install The Rhino-Rack roof rack system. This is going to consist of part numbers RRVA126B-2. That's going to be our Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars. These are also available in silver with part number RRVA126S-2. The Rhino-Rack 2500 series legs for the crossbars, part number RRRLKVA and part number DK453. That's going to be our custom-fit kit for our roof rack legs. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar system is going to be an aerodynamic crossbar system that allows you to carry any kind of vehicle accessory on your vehicle's roof, whether those are roof-mounted bike racks, cargo baskets, or ski and snowboard carriers.
If we remove the end cap of our crossbar, you'll see our weather strip on the top. That, along with the aerodynamic shape of our bar, is going to help to reduce wind noise and drag. We can also easily remove our weather strip and cut this down to accommodate channel-mounted accessories. The end caps on our crossbars also have the option to remove our plastic lock core and put in the metal one. You can find that at etrailer.com.
It's part number RRVA-LEC4. The foot pack for our crossbar kit also the option to lock it to help prevent thefts and tampering of your crossbar system as a whole. Lastly, the custom-fit kit that comes with our vehicle is going to have rubber at any portion that's going to make contact with our vehicle. That's going to help to prevent scratches or abrasions from our roof rack system onto our vehicle. This kit total has a 165-pound weight capacity, so you do want to check your vehicle's owners manual to make sure it can withstand that much weight. Everything you see here on this table is what's included with our kit. We have our foot pack here with our locking covers and the key is just above that.
We have our end cap for our crossbar with our included key, our fit kit for our roof rack system. That's going to be our rubber bottom piece. Then we'll have our clamp here and we have our included tool. This is going to be a torque tool to let us know how much torque we have behind our bolt and then we've provided our own flat tape measure. To start our install, we're going to take the bottom portion of our foot pack off. We're going to attach our rubber piece.
We're just going to squeeze those two pieces together until it's completely sealed and tight. Then we can place it onto our foot pack. Next, we'll remove our bolts here. We'll take our included clamp, place it over where we just removed our bolt, and start to tighten that back down. We want to tighten our bolts up just enough so that our clamp doesn't come loose from our foot pack. We're going to take the square nut on the bottom of our foot pack and slide this into the channel and we can take our measurement before the placement. This is going to be 12.8 centimeters. Once we have that in place, we'll take our included torque tool and we'll tighten down this bolt, here. Double check that measurement. Now we're ready to open up our doors and load this up onto our vehicle. With our doors open we'll take our crossbar and we're going to place it over the top of our vehicle. The crossbar spread's going to be from the middle of our front clamp to the middle of our back clamp, and that's going to be 70 centimeters. Once we have those in the correct spot, we can take our included torque tool and we're going to start to tighten down our bolts. I'm going to tighten it down so that our clamp is sitting just up against our door frame. Now we'll go back and forth tightening these down evenly, making sure that whatever we do to one side we do to the other. Now, we'll know we have enough torque behind our bolt when this skinnier portion of our torque tool is straight, just like you see there. Now we'll close up our doors and we can place on our locking end caps. We've got our crossbar end caps locked into place. We'll take our locking covers for our foot packs and lock those up. Now would be a good time to load up any roof-mounted accessories, and you're ready to hit the road. That's going to be our completed look at the Rhino-Rack roof rack system for our 2017 Honda Civic.

Worked great for my 19 civic si! Some noise but I think that’s normal. Does not affect my sunroof from functioning!
by: Patrick M09/01/2017
2017 Honda Civic
It took a few weeks longer to ship than expected but the etrailer staff was very helpful throughout the process, as far as the product goes..the instructions included listed incorrect dimensions for a perfect fit, also the actual brackets to attach the feet to the car weren't the right shape initially, but a few small sacks with a rubber mallet and now they line up perfectly with the vehicles roof line, overall a good product but I wouldn't recommend for someone who isn't fairly mechanically inclined and good with a tape measure to install.
by: David01/24/2022
I ordered the RhinoRack on a Friday afternoon and received it on the following Wednesday (free shipping) from halfway across the country. The product is on the same level of quality as roof racks twice the price. It fit perfectly on my vehicle and is very strongly mounted. The videos etrailer has and the product instructions made installation a breeze. I highly recommend RhinoRack and etrailer.
by: Parella,07/07/2023
These racks were easy to assemble and the customer service was top notch when I didn’t have the rubber strips I needed! Excellent all the way through!
by: Debbie09/01/2021
I am a female age 61. I has to call pretty much every step of the instructions but I was able to install myself however the measurement for the width using the measure sticks was not quite accurate foe the rear rail. Customer service was very good at assisting me until the last call they never emailed me so I could send photos. I’m only going to be transporting a inflatable paddleboard so the discrepancy shouldn’t matter much. I’ll figure it out later cia customer service next year when I put back on.
by: Darrell 02/08/2024
Everything worked out great. Replaced parts to my daughter’s roof rack. No need to look anywhere else.
by: Steve01/23/2021
2017 Honda Civic Sedan: Rhino would get 3 stars for only “avg” instructions and a 5 for product quality. etrailer also a 5 for quick and easy research and fulfillment.
by: z123409/08/2023
Works great. Got the set when I got a new car. Quick talk with etrailer to confirm exactly what I needed, and done. Fits the roof perfectly.
by: Timothy 12/15/2023
They were a Christmas gift for my son, and he was thrilled! we have had no problems, and even with no experience, we were able to install the racks on the car
by: Derrick04/17/2022
Worked out great and fits my car exactly how I expected. As soon as I ordered from etrailer the order was put together and shipped out. I got it within 3 days after ordering even with the free shipping!
Would highly recommend and will probably order more in the future.
by: Mike B05/22/2020
Great product very happy I chose this over other leading brands. Holds my two kayaks with no problem and looks great
by: Wallace 01/24/2023
i bought this for my son and it is working great. He has since purchased some kayak carriers, and everything fits well. The service department worked very quickly to resolve and issue I had with some mismatched keys that were shipped. This is about the sixth purchase i have made with etrailer, and continues to be my goto place to get accessories.
by: Andrea05/22/2020
Product is very good quality but was difficult to install and their were little details in the limited instructions provided.
by: Vicki 05/25/2023
This rack was easy to install, by following the videos. I installed it by myself.
by: Steve07/10/2023
The shipping was fast and packaging was good. Got all that I ordered. The products looks well made, looks better than the products from Amazon and eBay. Can’t wait to carry my kayak for fishing.
by: Wayne08/31/2020
The Rhino roof rack held up pretty good. However, for my 2016 Honda Civic 4 dr. The front rack did not snuggle in like the rear rack because of the closer proximity of the vehicle's shoulders. It kept popping out. The metal strap that goes inside the doorway was the only thing that help keep it in place. Suggestion. Make the Rhino plastic pieces that attaches into the roof's shoulder longer and give the installer the option to shave it down if needed.
by: Xavier 08/19/2023
Right fit and good customer service!!
by: Amanda 07/17/2023
Great product
by: Alwin07/30/2022
An excellent rack, it fits really well and it's easy to take off and put back on. I made myself a small jig from odd pieces of wood that help me place the rack exactly in the same place each time. Gas consumption is only slightly effected when the rack is installed.
by: Svyatoslav08/31/2022
Even though it was somewhat custom solution - it still fit quite well for my car. One needs to be prepared that installation would take significant time to carefully check all things and install them in correct order as every part is different even though it does not look like that from the first sight.
by: Jack09/03/2021
It's still there through heat and rain! Been using the rhino rack for about a year now carrying my bike everywhere.
by: Troy09/11/2022
Product damaged my car, almost came off on the freeway. Company would not accept a return. Product arrived in a duct taped box
by: Kyle07/25/2019
The rack was absolutely perfect! Very sturdy and well built, I was missing a very small piece that didn’t ship with the rest and etrailer had great costumer service and resolved the issue very fast for me!
by: Adam 03/17/2023
Great product. Easy to install.
by: Darian05/11/2022
I wish the vortex strip came pre installed. Kind of a pain to take the additional time to install it yourself. Had a hard time getting it in the rails at certain points.

See what our Experts say about this Rhino Rack Roof Rack
- Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Compatibility with Yakima Skybox for 2017 Honda CivicFor your 2017 Honda Civic you will have no problem using a Rhino-Rack roof rack with a Yakima Skybox NX like # Y95AV. Roof boxes and roof racks are compatible between manufacturers, and you won't have crossbar spacing issues. For a specific fit on a 4 door sedan, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long # RRVA126B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and Custom DK Fit Kit # DK453. This system is rated for 165 lb max capacity. If you have the hatchback,...

- Recommended Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier For 2020 Honda Civic 4 Door SedanYou are correct, you will first need a crossbar/roof rack in which you could then mount a kayak carrier to the roof. For your 2020 Honda Civic 4 door sedan I recommend going with Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2. This is a low-profile aerodynamic roof rack that has reduced noise and vibration compared to other roof rack setups. There is a built-in T slot channel on top of the crossbars which allows many accessories to be easily installed. To install these crossbars you will...

However, for your car, especially if you have the Civic coupe, SI, I would really recommend looking at a roof rack instead of a trunk rack so you won't have to worry about damage to the spoiler. If your Honda Civic SI is a coupe, I recommend Inno Roof Rack part # INXB130-2 for the bars, # INXS250 for the feet and # INK683 for the fit kit. If your Honda Civic SI is a hatchback,...

- Roof Rack Recommendation for Mounting Cargo Basket on 2017 Honda Civic HatchbackFor the Rhino Rack roof rack you have installed on your 2017 Honda Civic part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK453 I attached a picture that shows what the measurements should be. The Thule Canyon part # TH859XT would be a great fit for your roof rack. This basket measures 49" long x 40" wide x 6" tall and fits the roof rack that you currently have.

- How Can I Haul Kayaks On The Roof Of My 2020 Honda Civic Sedan?While there are not vehicle-specific kayak carriers that are custom-made for vehicles, we do have plenty of kayak carriers that can be added to the roof of your 2020 Honda Civic via a roof rack setup. If you do not have a roof rack yet then I recommend looking into Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2. This has the highest weight capacity available, rated at 165lbs. To install this onto your roof you will need Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK453. This crossbar setup has a built-in...

I have added links to the directions and...

view full answer... - How to Carry Bikes on a 2017 Honda Civic Si with Center ExhaustThere are very few hitch fits with vehicles that have center exhaust. Unfortunately there are thus far no plans to make one for a Civic with center exhaust. If you are wanting a hitch to carry bikes or cargo let me know because there may be other options.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack For 2016 Honda Civic 4 Door SedanThere are not any Sportrack brand roof racks compatible with your 2016 Honda Civic, however, there are similar style options available from other brands. I recommend the Rhino Rack Roof Rack for a comparable system. This will include the # RRVA126B-2 crossbars with the # RRRLKVA legs, and #DK453 custom fit kit. This is a lockable system that is easy to install and easy to remove when not in use. This is made specifically for your 2016 Honda Civic 4 Door Sedan.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Honda Civic Sedan with Naked RoofFor your 2017 Honda Civic with a naked roof the roof rack I recommend is the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK453. The reason I recommend this rack is because it's just as easy to install and has higher quality like the more expensive racks but it's at a better price. Our demo guys who have installed them all really like these racks too. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar 2017 Honda Civic as well.

- Option For Adding A Ski Rack To A 2021 Honda CivicWe can certainly help you set up your 2021 Honda Civic with a ski rack. A ski rack will require installation of a roof rack with crossbars. I recommend going with a Rhino Rack setup for all of this. The roof rack will consist of the following parts. Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA Custom DK Fit Kit # DK453 From there you can add on your Ski Carrier, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Honda Civic SedanFor your 2017 Honda Civic sedan with a naked roof the roof rack I recommend is the Rhino Rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK453 as it gives you an easy to install rack with aero shaped bars which will minimize wind noise. Then for a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 which is a padded carrier that can fold down when not in use and if ever needed could be expanded to carry 2 kayaks easily.
view full answer... - Rhino Rack Roof Rack Components that Fit 2019 Honda Civic SedanThe recommended Rhino Rack roof rack components for your 2019 Honda Civic Sedan are the following: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - 49" # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA Custom DK Fit Kit # DK453 You definitely have the correct leg kit and would need a new fit kit like you mentioned. The bars you have now are 3 inches shorter than recommended so there is a chance they would work but I can't guarantee that since it's never been tested....
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Volvo XC70 and 2018 Honda Civic for Thule StackerThe Thule Stacker # TH830 is a great kayak carrier to carry the 3 kayaks you have but you will need a roof rack installed on both vehicles first. For that I'd recommend the Rhino Rack Vortex Rack # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX100 for the 2015 Volvo XC70 and then the similar Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK453 for the 2018 Honda Civic and you'd be set. There isn't a single rack you could go with that would fit both vehicles which is why you'd need a totally different rack for both vehicles.
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2017 Honda Civic for Carrying 2 KayaksFor carrying 2 kayaks the Thule Compass part # TH890000 is a really great option once you have a roof rack installed on your 2017 Honda Civic. For a roof rack the Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK453 would be an excellent choice. It's aerodynamically shaped for minimal wind noise, comes with locks, and is at a lower price than the high end roof racks yet rivals them in terms of quality and ease of use.
view full answer... - Will the yakima JayLow Carrier work with Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars?Yes the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # Y04073 will work out perfectly with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Roof Rack System which consist of the three parts listed. Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRRLKVA Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs part # DK453 Check out the installation video we did with this rack and a 2016 Honda Civic.
view full answer... - Recommendation to Transport Bikes with 2017 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hatchback with Center ExhaustSince your 2017 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hatchback does have the dual center exhaust, the best option for transporting your bikes is going to be a roof rack and roof bike carrier. The trailer hitches currently available for the 2017 Honda Civic will not work on vehicles with the center exhaust. As long as your Honda Civic is a 4-door model, I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack, which consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the 49 inch crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the legs and # DK453 for the...
view full answer... - Will These Clamps Scratch My Paint At All?If you use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero bars # RRVA126B-2 with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and the Custom Fit Kit # DK453, you don't have to worry about it scratching your vehicle. The custom fit kit has a powder coated finish along with a rubber coating to prevent any damage from happening! We have a lot of naked roofs here at etrailer and I do not see ware on the vehicle even after the rack being on for a couple of seasons.

The great thing about using a j-style carrier like you have selected is that you can easily fit another kayak onto the roof with a second j-style carrier if needed. The j-style carrier is also...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Honda Civic SI Sedan with Center ExhaustCenter exhaust makes installing a trailer hitch almost impossible. So for your 2018 Honda Civic SI sedan you'd have to go with a roof rack. The highest quality rack we offer for your vehicle that's not too hard on the wallet is the Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK453 which is a confirmed fit. This has the quality of the super expensive racks but not quite the cost. I attached an install video and picture for this rack on a similar Civic as yours too.
