Inno Roof Rack Review - 2012 GMC Acadia- Video

Inno Roof Rack Review - 2012 GMC Acadia

Today on our 2012 GMC Acadia we're going to be test fitting the Inno Square Bar Roof Rack System, comprised of part numbers INB117, these are the Inno Square crossbars, 46" long, and part number INFR. These are Inno feet for the square crossbars. You know a square bar roof rack system is great for carrying accessories up on your roof and freeing up space in your vehicle. Both bars combined have a carrying capacity of 220 pounds, although you always want to double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand that weight. Now while the bars themselves aren't aerodynamic you can purchase a fairing separately which can cut down the wind noise and drag. Also all four end caps are locked, so once this is installed onto your factory raised side rails it's secured to your factory raised side rails as well. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the roof rack let's go ahead and show you how it installs. more
