These were the only mounts I could find to fit a 2019 Toyota Highlander LE factory roof bolts. Have never used Rhino Racks before but was very happy to find their sturdy mounts for aero bar legs.
These Rhino-Rack products are solid. Installation was quite simple. It took me no more than 2 hours from taking off the OEM rails to getting the crossbars to tighten down.
Keep in mind that these legs were designed for the Toyota Prado (it even says so on the installation guide). Once you remove the Lexus OEM rails, you will notice a groove, about 3/4" deep and 1-1/8" wide, alongside the roof. If your GX does not come with the OEM rails, the grooves might already be covered up by the factory drip trim pieces (Toyota PN 75557-60050, 75555-60030). This Rhino rack kit does not come with any hardware to cover up the grooves. I was told they would not cause any leaks because the mounting points are tightly sealed.
But if you have severe OCD like me, those grooves will be bothering you (even though you can't see them). Instead of paying over $xxx for the OEM trims pieces. Fill them up with some 3/4"wide 3/8 inch thick insulation tape, then tape a strip of 1" wide, 1/8" thick neoprene rubber strip on top. The end product looks just like OEM. I hope my simple idea will help other fellow OCD survivors.
Update to my review: etrailer sent additional strips to set into the gaps on the bottom side of the rails and there is no longer any whistling, so I've rerated my purchase to Excellent. I'm not sure if the strips for the bottom side (the side that faces the roof of the car) should have come with my rails to begin with or if they need to be purchased separately (etrailer sent them to me at no charge after my initial review). Covering those gaps with duct tape will also do the trick.
The Rhino Rack BLOCKS my SUNROOF. It was recommended for my 2018 Highlander on the etrailer website. A 2018 Highlander with a sunroof is shown on etrailer in the install video. However, I can not open my sunroof. etrailer refuses to refund or exchange it and have no options for fixing this issue!
Rock solid attachment, the install didn’t go as smooth as hoped, but got it to work. Customer service was very available, though I do t think anything they could have done to make the install easier - chalked up to slight car model variations.
I searched a lot of websites before finding what I needed on etrailer.com for my 2012 Suzuki GV. I was looking for the proper mounts to install a Kayak rack system. Because my vehicle has a built in rail system it was very confusing what was needed. Thank you etrailer for hooking me up with the appropriate parts for the Rhino system, it worked great!
Proper fit on our 2023 CX-5.
This fit perfectly on my 2019 Toyota Highlander! The instructions were very clear, and installation went quickly. And it looks great on the vehicle! The only reason this did not get a 5-star rating is because the design of the mounting points don't allow for a quick install or removal of the corresponding mounting platforms (which I rated also with 4 stars for the same reason.) Between the 2 different parts, it seems as though this could be engineered in such a way that would allow for quick removal/install and storage within the rack system itself, as is done on many other makes of vehicles and their OEM roof racks.
Great item, pretty easy to install. I posted a longer review for the full setup on our 2019 Highlander with 2 biggish kayaks under reviews for the rack pillars, Item: RRRCL4. When fully tied down, we used hood loops front and rear for both boats.
Great service from Carol C.
Two stars because the provided hardware interferes with the factory rails when using the provided cover plates (to be installed when you remove the cross bars & towers). Had to source my own 12mm long cap screws because provided 16mm were too long. Otherwise works as advertised.
Price, Quality, communication, Shipping Speed. Everything about this is excellent!
We have had these on our 2016 Toyota Highlander for 1 year and we have not had any issues.
We bought the Rhino Rack after realizing that neither of the other brands would fit right onto our Highlander. I ended up having to purchase both of the other major brands to figure that out. In the end, I found out that the Rhino rack fit exactly to the stock configuration of our car. It also held much more weight than the comparable brands. We could not be happier with this rack. I would recommend just skipping the other brands and getting the Rhino Rack regardless of your vehicle model. I found it to be a very well-designed rack system. All of the accessories fit perfectly. It even looks great on our car.
Worked as expected with my RCL legs and vortex crossbars. Great customer service.
All parts arrived on time and undamaged, and installation was pretty straightforward and easy.
Was impressed with the quality and fit these had on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Very, very simple installation
Super secure for our family's rods with minimal noise. Withstands 100mph winds. Easy to remove since they are on only for vacation.
Overall, these are fine. They fit perfectly on my 2015 Toyota Highlander. My only gripe was the installation step involving the double-sided tape is a little awkward. It's meant to seal the mounting bolt hole on the vehicle, but since the hole in the tape is smaller than the bolt, it ends up getting all gummed up in the threads of the bolt and the hole - which accomplishes the task of sealing the hole, but doesn't end up sitting flush between the plastic mount and the vehicle like the instructions suggest. It can also make starting the bolt into the threads difficult, and prone to cross-threading. None of this is visible once installed, and I'm not worried about leaks, but the installation might prove difficult or confusing to others.
Easy to mount. Great product.
I am glad that etrailer puts the bundles together so you get all the parts you need for your vehicle. This is one part of three needed for my Honda CRV. Other sites make you figure all the components on your own with suggestions and it gets super confusing. etrailer all the way for me!
I purchased the Rhino Rack roof rack as an alternative to the factory installed products and the more popular Thule and Yakima brands. The Rhino Rack is solid and sleek and is largely silent while driving (if I have the roof open you can hear a soft whistle). Not only does the rack look fantastic, but the non-slip top and the strong bars make carrying things on top a real pleasure.
I like the racks. They were extremely difficult for Me to install. I had trouble getting them to line up from left to right with the factory holes on my Honda Crv Touring. Also, I am getting a great deal of road noise but I am afraid to remove them for the summer in case they are difficult to reinstall for ski season.
Custom RCP fit Kit was the perfect solution for my 2019 equinox with fixed mounting points. GM seems to have discontinued the cross bars for my model and etrailer is the only place I could source a rhino rack that fit. In the end it saved me 400-500 dollars and helped me avoid having to install something that would interfere with my water seal. No issues with shipping even though I reside in Ontario Canada. Original kit I ordered cake with base for CRV. Quick response when I emailed regarding a return and ordering the correct part. Highly recommend.
