Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Volvo XC60 with Factory Side Rails

Question:

I have a 2011 Volvo xc60 that has factory side rails. I need a roof rack that attaches to the side rails. I found the rhino 2500 rack on your website. Will this rack work? Do I need anything else to complete the rack so it works on my Volvo XC60

I do have a solution for you, however the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Rack you mentioned in your question is designed to mount onto naked roofs (without factory side rails) so it will not work on your 2011 Volvo XC60.

If you want to stay with Rhino Rack, I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack, which consists of two 49" Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and the SRB Legs that will mount to the flush factory side rails on your Volvo, part # RRSX025. I like this system because the aero crossbars provide a sleek look and also reduce wind noise when driving. Built-in locks with universal keys to help deter theft are also included. This system has a weight capacity of 165 pounds, although you will want to check the roof capacity of your Volvo as listed in the owner's manual.
