  • How to Install the SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020
  • The SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020 installs on the roof of your pop-up camper by first picking out the desired location of the roof rack. You will then take a 1/8-inch drill bit and drill holes through the roof that line up with the holes on the feet of the roof rack. Using the included hardware you will then bolt the crossbars onto your roof to secure the roof rack.

  • How Does Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Install on a 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

  • Fairing for a Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack on a 2015 Volkswagen Golf VII 5-Door Wagon
  • For installation, the Rhino Rack ROC25, part # RR23QR, is not intended to line up with the factory roof rack holes during install. It will install exactly as you have it right now in your picture. I can't recommend opening the moon roof while having a roof rack installed, as there is a chance that the rack will contact the glass as it opens or the noise and wind will change direction because of the crossbar and affect the passengers or cargo in the vehicle. Generally, we don't recommend...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points on a 2015 Mazda CX-5
  • The fixed mounting points on your 2015 Mazda CX-5 are under 4 little doors on the roof along those black channels on either wide of the vehicle roof. Use a flat blade screwdriver to pop off the doors. The roof rack feet in Rhino-Rack roof rack # RRRS367B will bolt directly to these locations. I have linked a video that should help. It is on a Mazda 3 and a different roof rack but it will be essentially identical on your CX-5 and Rhino-Rack roof rack.

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack and Cargo Bag Carrying Options for a 2012 Honda CR-V
  • The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack consisting of # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 that you referenced, which is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Honda CR-V with a bare roof, has been tested by Rhino-Rack on your CR-V and that is where they found the best location for it to be installed. I am not sure the details for their testing the chosen location has to do with the best roof strength and aerodynamics. Since the roof on your CR-V is not boxed and straight the Rhino-Rack roof rack will only fit...

  • Installation Instructions for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack RR46XR on 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • The Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Vortex Aero Roof Rack that fits your 2016 Mazda CX-3, part # RR46XR, installs in the fixed mounting points on your CX-3's roof tracks. This lets the rack have a more OEM-like appearance. This rack does not use the door jamb for mounting like universal-type roof racks often do. Installation requires temporarily removing, drilling and re-inserting the roof ditch mould to allow the rack hardware to reach through to the fixed mounting points that are under the ditch...

  • Roof Cargo Bag Options For a 2007 Ford Focus Hatchback Without a Factory Roof Rack
  • The Thule OutBound Roof Bag, part # TH868, needs to be attached to a roof rack. Since your 2007 Ford Focus 4-door hatchback does not have a factory rack, you will first need to install one. If your Focus currently has a bare roof, I would recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, part # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK005. Then you will be able to attach the Rola Platypus Roof Bag, part # 59100. Another option would be to use a roof cargo bag that does not require a roof rack. Checkout the Rightline...

  • What is the Best Roof Rack Mounting Style for a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe with Factory Side Rails
  • You can use a roof rack that mounts outside of the factory side rails, but I recommend using a roof rack that attaches directly to the side rails. It is always better to use side rails or factory mounting points for a roof rack than a bare roof attachment because the vehicle manufacturer designed the side rails and mounting points specifically for a roof rack. It also eliminates contact between a roof rack and the vehicle's paint. You have a few different options to choose from. For a...

  • Is drilling required to install Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Rack on 2017 Nissan NV 3500?
  • You are correct! The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR73QX you were looking at simply attaches to your 2017 Nissan NV 3500's naked roof by means of the factory ditches. You will not need to drill into the roof as the included brackets and hardware are designed specifically for your vehicle's roof. I attached a demonstration video for the roof rack, along with a snip-it of the instructions for the ditch brackets.

  • Installation of Whispbar Roof Rack on 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee With Factory Side Rails
  • The 2011 and 2012 models years of the Jeep Grand Cherokee are both within the fourth generation of the vehicle so they should share common roof side rails. The Whispbar Roof Rack you referenced, consisting of parts # WB-S25 and # WB-K624, is a confirmed fit for both 2011 and 2012 model years that have roof side rails with a channel, as shown in the linked photo.

  • Using the Moon Roof on a Limited Edition 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with a Roof Rack or Roof Box
  • Any roof rack will impact the performance and usability of a sun or moon roof. Using a roof box like the Malone 18B Profile, part # MPG911 will create more difficulties because of its clamps. I don't recommend using the sun roof or moon roof with a roof rack or roof box equipped.

  • Will SportRack Frontier Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1002 Install Without Scratching Car
  • Any roof rack that affixes to your vehicle roof line will naturally put some pressure on the mating surface. However, as long as you install the rack as detailed by the manufacturer instructions, tighten as directed and use it within its weight limits, there should be no issue with damage to your vehicle. Since these racks are semi-custom, they are designed to mate with the specific contours of your vehicle. There is a layer of rubberized foam padding on the base of the rack feet; there...

  • Can Thule Artificial RainGutters Be Installed on the Roof of a 2016 Ford Explorer
  • I have a solution for you, but you cannot mount the Thule # TH542 on the roof of your vehicle and still have a secure mounting point for the towers of a roof rack. From what I was able to determine, the 2016 Ford Explorer came standard with flush mounted roof rails. For this reason you can use the Rhino Rack # RRRCP45-BK, # RRRCH4 and # RRVA137B-2 to give yourself a complete roof rack for your Explorer.The Rhino Rack is a great option because it provides you with a high quality and durable...

  • The Rhino-Rack roof rack that you are looking at for your 2013 Hyundai Elantra, parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK289 will connect directly to those mounting points on your roof. They do not use the clamp style. I have attached a review video of the same legs and fit kit being installed on a 2016 Hyundai Accent for you to reference for the installation. The rack assembly is actually pretty easy to install and take off of the vehicle. In the video out installer goes from start to finish...
