Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have a Yakima roof rack system here on the 2023 Kia Seltos. I'm gonna show you how to install it as well as how it fits on our car. If you're looking for a roof rack system that can allow you to carry all kinds of things, whether it's extra long ladders or expand your cargo space with a roof box, a roof basket, or carry on kayaks or bikes on your roof, well, a roof rack system like our Yakima here is gonna be a great way to go. Now I currently have the extra long crossbar version with the 60 inch bars, but the recommended fit is the 50 inch bars. It's gonna look and work almost the exact same way. This one is just what I like to use when I carry on kayaks because it's easier to reach. more

Hi, everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at, and later, we'll be showing you how to install this Inno Roof Rack system for raised rails on our 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan. It's important to note that this is for raised rails, which is great, because that's what your Tiguan comes with. And if you're looking to expand the function of your vehicle, the best place to go in my opinion, in this case at least, is the roof, because you already have these raised rails, why not utilize them This is gonna be the easiest way to attach a roof rack for any car out there. Any car with raised rails, I always recommend a roof rack, because it's so easy to install and it's just a lot less complicated than other kits like I've used on my own vehicles in the past. This option from Inno will clamp around the bar. more

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Roof Rack Installation - 2024 Kia Carnival

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here, taking a look at our Rhino Rack roof rails for our 2024 Kia Carnival. So you may be thinking, why crossbars on the top of your vehicle Well, one of the benefits of that is, is taking advantage of something already on your vehicle, having the raised front to back rails, so that allows you to add to the amount of cargo you can carry. So your bigger, bulkier items can go on top, whereas the things you may need to access while you're on the road could be inside the vehicle. So that helps you with that, and it's super versatile because it's completely adjustable to how you may need it. And what makes this guy completely adjustable is if you take a look at your rail, there are no fixed mounting points. So the way that it clamps around can adjust anywhere within that it can grip around the rails. more

Hey everybody, Cooper here at "etrailer." Today we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System on our 2022 GMC Terrain. Now, why would you need a roof rack system Well, if you wanna carry around some of those bigger or awkward items like skis, maybe snowboards, or you need some additional storage for those longer trips like a roof box. The first thing you're going to need is a roof rack system like the one we have installed here today. Now we do have raised rails here on our terrain and usually the big benefit to that is that our clamps can sit anywhere with on those rails, allowing us full customizability for our crossbar spread able to accommodate different items that might have different spreads. What we did learn when installing this system here today though, is that where our rails do make contact here with our roof, that this space is unusable even right here, because of how the clamp needs to hold this added on even a little space here prevented it from clamping down fully. So we are losing about a front third of our rail and if we head to the back, we have that same issue back here with the front back third of our rail. more

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install this Inno roof rack system with the flush-mounted crossbars on our 2022 Dodge Durango. Now, when I say flush-mounted, what I mean by that is that the crossbar, that piece up top that we're gonna attach our accessories to, ends inside the foot pack here, meaning that nothing overhangs off the side of the vehicle. A lot of people prefer this style because it is a little bit more clean and custom looking. And if you only plan on mounting up one accessory on your roof, maybe something like a box for a road trip or a basket, then this is gonna be plenty of room. more

Hey, everybody, Cooper here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System on our 2023 Toyota RAV4. Now, if you wanna carry around some extra long items, maybe you like a kayak or maybe some lumber that you get from the depot store, or want some extra storage space for a long car ride, the first thing you're going to need is a roof rack system. Now, the system we have on here today is going to be made up of three different parts. The first one is going to be our 49 inch crossbars, then our platforms that they're going to attach to, and then finally, that whole system will set into our fit kit that is specially tailored for our RAV4. The roof rack we have on today is what we call a fixed point system, because there are plates along the roof of your RAV4 that you pop out, and then the fit kit will fit into those, and this is the definitive placement for your roof rack, meaning that there's not really any modularity in moving them forward or backwards. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today I have a Yakima roof rack system with the 50 inch long bars and the TimberLine towers. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2022 Volkswagen Taos. So your Volkswagen Taos has a raised rail meaning there's a rail that goes up but you can also fit things underneath it. Now because of how small it is, this actually doesn't fit perfectly for all roof rack brands. So some roof racks need a special clamp that's smaller in order to securely fit around this rail system. But since the Yakima TimberLine towers have a strap that go around, then you don't have that issue. more

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Installation - 2023 Nissan Titan

Hi everyone. Aiden here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install this Rhino Rack Vortex roof rack system on our 2023 Nissan Titan. Now a roof rack is a great way to carry some extra stuff with you if you don't have space inside your vehicle or maybe for some elongated loads that you don't wanna put in the bed. A lot of people like using these for things like kayaks or boxes for some extra covered lock storage or we can put a basket or a platform up here to maybe mount some bikes. Really, the possibilities are endless and I think for a truck, roof racks make a lot of sense because if you have a ladder rack you can match the ladder rack height if it's adjustable to the roof rack and create this large platform which is great for mounting up pieces of two by four or lumber because it's supported all throughout over the cab and over the bed while leaving your bed open for maybe some other stuff. more

There are a bunch of different kits or roof racks for the Jeep Wrangler two-door version. This is actually my special recommendation kit because it has longer crossbars than what is usually recommended for this car. So measuring from the tower to right before that end cap, it's gonna be about 4 1/2 inches, 4 1/4 give or take how you set this up. That measurement is going to be helpful for if you want to clamp accessories to the tower, if you wanna maximize your crossbar space. more
