Can Rhino-Rack HD Roof Rack For 2005 Ford Van be Locked

Question:

Am I able to install some sort of locking mechanism on this rack? I plan to use to mount solar panels Thanks!

Technically, there is not a way to lock the Rhino-Rack HD crossbars or the rack to your 2005 Ford van. It is usually the feet that get locks, but since the rack installs with gutter mounts, there isn't an available lock for this rack. That said, they do have bolts in the legs that require a special torx key (included with the legs) in order to install, so it would be very difficult to remove the legs despite them not having locks with a key.

The parts that fit your van for a complete rack are the following:

- Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Black - 71" Long # RB1800B-2

- Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount # RL150S10
