Today on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta we're doing a test fit of the Inno Aeroblade Crossbars. The part number for our crossbars today is I9XB100-2, for our foot pack we're using INXS200, and for our fit kit, we're using INK590. We already have our front bar on, we're going to show you we put the back bar together. We've just got one foot pack left and then we'll load it up onto our vehicle. It comes with everything you see here. The only thing you'll really need to provide is a flat tape, or even a tape measure will work for that as well. First thing we're going to do is put our foot pack together.
I'm going to undo the bolt here at the end, and then I'll take my clamp, and I'll just re-thread my bolt just a few threads so it stays in place. I can take my rubber pad for my foot pack, and just fit that onto the bottom, and make sure that all the seams are closed there. We're then going to line it up onto our bracket that I've already installed. We're going to line up this piece here with this hole, and the smaller piece with the smaller hole. Once those are lined up, we'll extend that out, and then we'll take our longer Allen key and we'll just tighten down the bolts in the center here. What that's going to do is prevent that foot pack from moving up and down the length of the crossbar and just keep it secure in the spot that we need it.
We can now open our car doors and load up our crossbar. We're going to make sure when we load up our crossbar that the thicker end of the crossbar is facing forwards this side a bit, a bit bigger than the other side, we're just going to have that face the correct way. We're going to loosely install these, and readjust the other side. Perfect. With those in place we can take our tape measure, or flat tape at this time, and we're going to measure from the center of the foot pack to the center of the door jam here. All the measurements are in your instructions, but for now, we're going to use forty centimeters as our mark.
With this measurement, you're going to be able to put any kind of roof mounted accessories on your vehicle. You can do roof mounted bike racks, or cargo boxes, or even ski and snowboard carriers, which are all available on our website. We just have to double check that this side is even as well. A good thing to remember is that whatever we do to one side, we want to do to the other, just so our crossbar sits evenly and is secure. With those in the right spot we can now start to tighten down our foot packs. To do so, I'm going to take my tool and start by tightening the clamps so it sits just up against the door frame there.
We'll do the same to the other side. These bars are great, they're a sleek, aerodynamic design, they're going to be pretty light weight on your vehicle, and another great feature about it is that it does have a T-Track area to load up any of your T-Channel mounted accessories. One plus about that is that you don't have to take out this weather stripping here, you can actually leave that in and just push it down to load up those accessories. That's going to keep the aerodynamics of the crossbar and still prevent wind noise while you still have something on your crossbars. With those two up against the door jam, I'm going to start tightening them down. I do about five to ten turns on each side. If you heard that pop, that's going to be like a gas cap noise that you'll hear, that's when you know that your foot pack is completely secure and tightened down enough onto your vehicle, so now we'll just do the same thing to this side, make sure it is secure as well. We can close up our doors here and we'll grab our locking end caps. With those T-Track mounted accessories, as I mentioned before you can keep that weather stripping in, but these covers are also going to protect any kind of bike rack or anything that you have on there. Since they are locking you aren't going to be able to take your bike rack off without having that key and removing that end cap. It's just an added safety feature if you maybe don't have a locking mechanism on your bike rack. With those in place, that's going to complete our look at the Inno Aeroblade Roof Crossbars on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta.

These steel, square crossbars attach to Inno feet to create a sturdy roof rack for your vehicle. Elastomer coating resists corrosion and helps cushion your load. Bars accommodate carriers and accessories that clamp around bars.These bars are excellent. I like the coating to protect whatever you're hauling. There is absolutely 0 flex with my kayak mounted, unlike the aluminum aero bars I upgraded from.
Been a month haven’t received them yet they are in stock but guess we are waiting for one item which it’s in stock date gets pushed back every day. And the company doesn’t let the customer know the date changes or when they will send it.
Easy to install, great instructions, looks good, will use for bikes and kayaks, a welcome edition to our gas saver car
Good quality rack system, easy to assemble and install, works well, looks good, fair price, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I appreciate the guidance I received from William B. at the beginning of my search for a roof rack to carry a canoe on my 2015 Honda Civic. Two thumbs up for this purchase.
Easy to install and have worked great so far!
Super easy to install and remove. Lock feature is great
Works well, has stayed attached with no issues. We've used them (plus the bars) to keep a canoe and a rocket box on the car at different times throughout the year (not at the same time, it's on a tiny golf).
Incredible engineering: does not feel like an aftermarket rack. Easy to take off if necessary. Solid; highly recommend.
Perfection!!!
Perfect fit.
Shipping took considerably longer than originally promised. Product quality & value I consider both to be good.
Worked great! Traveled with a carrier on these racks from Chicago to Seattle. No issues, would buy again!
I have two standup paddle boards that literally live in the racks, and have since day one.
The racks are awesome.
Really great value! No need to spend a lot on Thule. Even those these are square shaped I actually don't hear much road noise. Besides, you're gonna have music playing or riding with the windows down anyway. I would definitely buy these again.
Missing Parts - I am missing two of the end-caps for the INB117. What is the deal with INNO quality control that it cannot get 4 of these in a box at the same time and tape it shut? I did a search on Google and apparently this a a known QC issue!
Waited till I put the new rack to work before review. Used it the first time today and it worked Great. Seems like a very durable rack system. Love that everything is rubber coated so it doesnt scratch the paint on your car. Installing instructions where a little confusing but found YouTube videos from etrailer on how to install exact rack system.
I am a fifty-four year old single woman and being able to install these roof racks by myself makes me feel empowered!!
I watched a video emailed with my delivery confirmation of an installation on a similar vehicle all the way through first, and then watched it again as I did the steps myself, pausing when I needed to.
The products appear to be of high quality, were packaged/shipped neatly and it was easy to organize everything for installation. I couldn't be happier!
Odelia was extremely helpful in helping me choose the right product. I had an end-cap that was missing and she sent me whole package of four. This is the kind of customer support one hopes to receive when deciding to spend a few hundred dollars on a product. I will definitely return to etrailer if I need another car rack for our other car.
Installation is easy. Just follow directions. Front bar parts are different than rear bar parts so you need to look at part numbers and use in correct location. Rack is only rated for 100 pounds but looks and feels much stronger than rating. As noted square bars do create lot of wind noise when driving. Purchase this product to carry my Canoe and it does that at almost $200 less than other rack systems on market. For me the square bars are better fit with ratchet straps to hold Canoe down. Hard to find ratchet strap with hook to fit areo bars.
Dislike. No way to level square bars. With car on level ground high point to high point on bars is level. But each bar is off by 1/8" front to back. Wish they were round bars.
Quick and responsive customer service! Thank you etrailer!
Quick and responsive customer service! Thank you etrailer!
Great roof rack. Easy to install and du rable!
I got these to replace my OE roof racks. The square shape is perfect for Yakima Bowdown kayak racks. Solid!
I followed directions and the rack went on without a hitch. The measuring tape provided was a bit confusing but my tape measure did just fine. It pays to watch for any movement of the stays as you tighten them. It fit perfectly. I was impressed with the quality of the unit. The torque wrench provided was a nice bonus. I attached a boat rack for my rowing shell and I’m confident it will be safe all the way to the water.
