Today on our 2012 Scion xB, we're going to take a look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar roof rack. The crossbar number will be RRVA137B-2. The Series Legs will be RRRLKVA, and the clamps and pad will be DK152. Now, I already have the first one already on our vehicle. Going to show you how we install the second one. What we have up here, we have our crossbar, we have our Series Leg, then we have our clamp and pad here. We have our covers to cover up our Series Legs.
We have our end cap, plus we have our tool to lock the end cap, and the Rhino tool itself. Now I have one part already on, I'm going to show you how to put the other part on. Per instructions, I'm going to make a measurement of 11.5 cm, so I can center our leg. First I need to go ahead and put on our pad, and the pad, the arrow should be pointing out, and the arrows on here are also going to be pointing out. When I mean out, it'll be out going toward the back of your vehicle. I'm going to put this on like so, it pretty much clamps on. I'm going to go ahead and add this on, like I say, it slides into the little T-slot here.
Just going to make sure I have it straight, slide that on. Make my measurement to 11.5 cm. Then, I'm going to go ahead and tighten it up with our Rhino tool. That's tight. I'm going to add in our clamp. What we've got to do is take off this bolt here, slide this in there.
Go ahead and start to turn it. Now we're ready to put it on our vehicle, so I'm going to open up our doors. I'm going to pretty much put this on over to the other side, get this side over here. Now what I have to do is, between the two crossbars, our measurement is going to be seventy centimeters. I'm going to go ahead and make that measurement now. It'll be from the middle of here to the middle here.
I'm going to go to the other side and do the same. Now I can start tightening it up. We're just going to take our allen wrench, here, start to tighten this up. As this gets tight, the little blue handle here, if you can see, has a little curve in it. Once it starts getting tight, its actually going to turn almost straight like that. I'm going to start on this side, do a couple of turns, then I'm going to go on the other side. I don't want it to start pulling from one side, so I want to make sure each side gets evenly tightened up. Continue to tighten on this side here, we're going to make this nice and snug, go back over here. The one things about the Rhino roof rack, you'll also have all your accessories, you can find on our website, such as bike racks, ski and snowboard carriers, even kayak carriers also, and all other accessories. I'm pretty much just getting tight, so it's about that time for me to go ahead and stop. That's pretty tight, so I'm going to go ahead and put our end cap on. Our end cap, it already has a lock on it, so it's going to be good, we can leave it on our roof. We're going to put on our end cap here, like so. With the key we have, we're going to turn this. If you have any accessories loaded into the T slot itself, we can put it on there, lock it up, and you can leave it on your vehicle at all times. We're going to go ahead and close this up, go to the other side, continue to finish this one up. Put on the end cap, here, go ahead and lock that up. Take our cover, put that in, and now we're ready to go. That's going to complete our look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar roof rack on today's 2012 Scion xB.

This custom fit kit lets you mount 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 legs to your vehicle with a naked roof. Clamps mount to legs with bolts. Includes 4 clamps and 4 pads.The roof rack is great, just pretty pricy, by me standards.
My only problem with the whole experience was that the roof rack comes in there separate packages. In my order, one package was omitted, which created some confusion. I had to go back to the company and request that the 3rd package be sent.
Otherwise I'm happy with the purchase.
I responded to a previous request fro feedback, so I'm not sure why I'm being asked again, but . . .
Great product. I put the removable racks and brackets on my car as soon as I received them in the mail and have not removed them since. They are used everyday to hold my Yakima rooftop box.
I love the racks, instructions were understandable, one of my end caps came in bad, it can wiggle off after locking but I emailed etrailer and they arranged a replacement quick with rhino rack, pretty nice of them, comes with rhino rack decal and just have to decide where to put it, out my bike up and took it for a test drive and it was very nice, I love their package because it comes with locks and way cheaper than the competitors, very satisfied
Very impressed with this rack system so far! Was hesitant at first based on some reviews talking about wind noise, but with the windows up I can hear almost no difference. The noise isolating strips are inside the rack after removing the end cap, so be sure to give them a good shake before assuming they are missing (as per the instructions). Very sturdy and assembled easily.
Fast shipping from strainer. Easy to install to my 2009 Honda Civic sedan. Very sturdy and high quality product! I have a Yakima high road installed and it’s perfect for this roof bar.
Very good product the installation instructions are spot on very easy to install it's a two person job though. .I really love the way this looks on my scion xb
I struggled to find a good cost effective roof rack for our Honda Hybrid, for hauling kayaks. etrailer by far had the easiest web site for ordering, with quick feedback on delivery. Instructions from Rhino were not the best, but had it complete in an hour. Fits great, and is secure! Thanks. Have ordered many products from etrailer, they are the first place to go for items. Great service!
My Rhino-Rack Aero 2500 roof racks fit solidly on my 2007 Honda Civic EX. I was really impressed with the construction and strength of the rack system. Also the versatility of the 'legs' with a swivel pad allow them to fit any roof pitch perfectly. The clamps are so solid, nothing could knock these racks off. I added a paddleboard attachment and went surfing today. The black racks also look great with the black trim on my silver Honda. Great product at a much better price than Yakima or Thule.
I am stuck on part 7 of the setup. The instructions do not clearly state the measurement for cutting the bar strip pieces. It says to refer to the DK Specification sheet, but there's nothing clearly labeled as such within my package. Can you please tell me the exact measurements in cm needed to cut the bar strip pieces for the rhino rack 2500 series euro style roof rack on a 2009 toyota corolla.Thank you for the help.

With the Euro Square Bars you also ordered, the strips for the front bar should be cut to 146mm or 14.6cm and the strips for the rear bar should be cut to 140mm or 14cm. These mesurements are specific to the 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla sedan. The strip measurements are found on page 1 of the instructions that come with the DK152 fitting kit. Find the row that matches your vehicle and the column that matches your bar type to find the correct lenghts.
The rack seems excellent… unfortunately the measuring strip dimensions in the directions were wrong for my 2013 Corolla. So by the time I went to put it on the car they were already cut so after making my own measurements the strips are all pieced together. And now I’m not confident my measurements are good… but I know the directions weren’t right because the clamps wouldn’t even reach the door jam.
We just put up the rack on our Scion XB 2015. Super easy to install with instructions given from YouTube. We did a test drive through the town and on the freeway to see if there was any noise, nothing. So far so great. Package came in the time it said it would show up and just in time for our trip. I'd definitely buy through here again and another Rhino Rack if I needed I one.
This was a great option for our 2013 Toyota Corolla! Install was fairly easy, some directions could be made a little clearer but overall was easy and the rack has stayed on firm and secure since install over a month ago.

Continues to work great!
Just as advertised. A perfect fit.
The rack was of good quality, solid and anchored well to the car. Putting it on was moderately difficult. The instructions were generalized for different types of cars and that is where the difficulty arose. There were certain quirks about my Corolla that required me to stop and think for several minutes about how something was supposed to be done. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures supplied were helpful but not complete. The thing that I really abhorred about the rack were the security screws. They were like a hex bolt with a strip of metal running down the middle (you will know what I mean if you buy the rack). One of the screws was not quite right and I stripped it trying to tighten it. Not sure why they made it that way but that is the one thing I would change about the kit, ditch that security screw. Overall I would recommend the rack and would buy another if the need arose.
Very nice roof rack. Very easy to insta ll
Words great on Scion xB. For 2015 model, the size of the rulers is off by about 3/4" on each side. Don't use their guides of 198 and 195. Even with them cut the wrong size, it was easy to install by just moving the end caps out a bit on each side. Not that critical!
All of this works as advertised. The best part is how e-trailer puts the components together to fit our car top.
Solid roof rack, the lining under the legs seems like it’ll keep my door jam from getting scratched up. No worries here!
Fits perfect! Our 2012 Scion Xb is fully operational. Shipping and ordering were quick and Rhino rack are as they claim. Very good product!
This product fit my 2013 Toyota perfectly. Not a fan of the instructions but some of the hardware was already put together for ease. Took about 30 minutes to install. Fit great!!
Good product..simple install...wish the instructions were not in mm
Product fit perfect, mainly use it for kayaks but still useful for much more! And after a year its still as good as when I first bought it.

Rack is still in great shape, minus scuff marks. I’ve had it on year round and still haven’t loosened and no readjustments needed yet!
Great product. Would recommend.

So far, so good. I only use it for cross-country skis, so it hasnt been used a lot. But I can see that it is a quality product.
