Inno Roof Rack Review - 2014 Ford Escape- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2014 Ford Escape we're gonna be test fitting the INNO Aero Roof Rack System consisting of part numbers INXB108-2. These are gonna be the two INNO Aero crossbars and to hold those onto our factory raised side rails, we're gonna be utilizing the INNO flush feet and that's gonna be INXS100. This is a great roof rack system that has this nice factory sleek style look to it thanks to its flush mount design. The bars themselves are gonna be aerodynamically shaped so that's gonna cut down the wind noise and drag while you drive virtually eliminating the need for any fairings like you would have for square or round bars. Up at the top here we do have this rubber strip and this means you can utilize T track accessories with this once this is installed. How you would access those, you would remove the end cap here and you can see the strip here.Now what sets this apart from others is, unlike having to remove this strip completely and cut its length when you're installing your accessories with this, you just simply push down and slide your T track accessory in as needed. more

Lifting up our endcap here, you can utilize T-track accessories with this roof rack system as well.Once you install the endcap, there is a knockout here for a Thule system, which is sold separately, so you can secure this to your roof, but you can also secure your T-track accessories, as you can't remove those without removing this.One thing that you need to consider though is, you do lose some usability of your roof rack system, as from this point here to the other point, that's how much space you have for your accessories, such as bike racks, cargo baskets, or cargo boxes. If you need more space, then you can upgrade or change your mind to the Thule AeroBlade roof rack system, where their bars actually go out past this endpoint here.So let's go ahead and show you how this installs. We already have the rear one partially assembled on our table here, and it's a pretty easy setup, prior to installing on your rails.The first step is to take our strap here, that wraps up underneath the factory raised side rail, and attach it to our actual AeroBlade Edge. more
