Written by DeWayne, on 7/18/2019
I purchased this 2 weeks ago. I had some slight confusion while installing, but customer service was very helpful. I used this on my 2017 Ford Flex. We used it for a rooftop carrier on our road trip from Michigan to North Carolina. I'd recommend if your using in a long trip to re-tighten after a few hours. My only complaint would be that one is the bolts on it is already starting to rust. That's a big disappointing after only 1 trip. It is an easy install and a good alternative. I'll be interested to see if more and more continues after continues use. - - -

This was the easiest roof rack I have ever used. Instructions are amazing. Kayaking has always been so fun and now with this rack I can load up and go with no worries. 10/10 recommend

I purchased this roof rack system to carry my kayak. Installing was easy. Now just waiting for decent weather to take my kayak out. Lets just hope I tie it down well enough.

It was surprisingly easy to install, and is solidly locked onto my roof. It's also very easy to take off and put back on. Very happy with my purchase. Thanks!

Im not the handiest guy I know, but I had no trouble installing this cargo rack and have been really pleased with the look and utility of it.

Written by Dalton, on 6/8/2018
Carried a few hundred pounds on it with no issues. Driving with just the bars though, anytime I go over 30mph the bars start to whistle and howl from wind going through them. This effect is noticeable and almost annoying. And it appears to be unavoidable given the design of the bars. I am surprised nobody else has mentioned this.

I bought this for my son for Christmas, it fit his car perfect and was fairly simple to install. He is already looking to add a snowboard and kayak rack to it. I would recommend this to anyone.

Good product, good price, easy to install.

Written by George Sperry, on 10/13/2017
Usually, I refuse to review something; I keep it if it is quality [and if I have kept it, the seller should know I accept it], I return or trash it if it is junk. This product is the best I have seen in over ten year, fits like a glove on my vehicle and very well designed. If I need another one, I would buy this product again without hesitation.

Bought this kit to carry my fishing kayak on my 09 Optima. The instructions were clear and everything arrived in perfect condition. I'm using a set of Yakima saddles and the setup works perfectly!

I use the product to put my beach cart and chairs on the roof of the car so we can have other passengers in the back seat.

Written by Band fan, on 7/18/2017
We needed to haul our teenager's 28" bass drum to marching band practices and performances. The roof rack fits our car perfectly. We're so pleased there was something available for a 10 year old small car that didn't come w/ roof rails.

I use the rack to carry my kayak. The rack makes loading and unloading my kayak 100% easier. The kayak is extremely secure and doesn't move while traveling down the road.

Written by Oh2bnMT, on 10/19/2016
I haven't hauled my canoe yet but I feel very secure with the racks. Solid as a rock. It took some thought on the installation but was able to do it by myself in a reasonable amount of time. Just don't cut corners on installation because the directions are very specific on mount locations and bar placement. I'm anxious to try it out.

Written by Kayak girl, on 7/1/2016
Bought this to attach J carriers to for transporting our 2 kayaks. The racks are very stable, little wind noise.

Written by New rack buyer, on 7/6/2015
Product was light and relatively straightforward to install, however, it would be nicer if it was easier for a single person to install. As it is, it is much easier with two people.

Written by Lulu, on 11/26/2014
This product I purchased along with the kayak rack system. When the packages arrived I did a item checklist and was missing the rubber ends to the bars. Not a major thing however, the bars make a bigger noise while driving since the ends of the bars are open. Fantastic product all the way around. First time purchasing Inno, love it.

Use this for a cargo box to hold camping gear. Very easy to install. Wind noise was noticeable above 40 mph, so you'll need the wind fairing.

Written by Ryan, on 9/7/2014
Once you figure out how the rack mounts it's pretty easy to install. Never had any problems.

Written by Laurel Anne, on 9/5/2014
Installation was not easy from the written instructions, so I just Googled it! Plenty of videos to make it very easy to install. I just wish I was taller! Great product. The tightening of the locking mechanism was very important for a tight and secure fit. Happy with this product.

Written by Seth, on 5/7/2014
I had a hard time finding a roof rack that would support my kayak on my 2009 hyundai accent hatchback. I was a little skeptical when I bought this, as There didn't seem to be any way to attach it to the car, and even when It came I put it on and was extremely cautious. But this has absolutely proven itself, the engineering and construction are amazing. Absolutely I would recommend this to a friend!

Written by Luigi, on 5/4/2014
Using for kayak racks. Easy enough to put on but not sure if done properly. Shook and tugged at them really hard. We'll see.

Written by River rat, on 4/25/2014
Installed it carefully using the measuring tape provided, etc. just in time to kayak with experienced friend. Loaded (2) cayaks, and travelled "without a hitch"(pun intended)!

Rhino Vortex SX - Silver - Rack Reviews

Written by Warren, on 6/30/2015
I had trouble understanding the installation instructions, and then some of the parts did not fit the other parts as they were supposed to. But Rhino Rack walked me through the installation procedure on the phone, and when the parts did not fit, they sent me other parts which did fit, even before I sent back the defective parts. Rhino Rack was very responsive to my situation, and I feel that they did everything they could to make it work for me. And in the end, it did. It just took longer, and caused more frustration and aggravation than I had anticipated. But perhaps a more mechanically oriented person would have had an easier time.

These bars were exactly what I was looking for at a great price... They were easy to install and provided a very secure and stable platform for cargo on the roof of our Audi... Money well spent.

Had someone install it for me. Took them about an hour. I drive a 2016 Ford C-Max, and don't go over 70mph. No noise, with or without boards on top. Drive from LA to San Diego without any issues. Very happy with my purchase! Thank you! :)

I knew the product was going to be great. I use it along with a couple kayak racks. I read many reviews and knew I was going to get this particular item. But where I am most impressed is Cargo Gear. The price was the cheapest I could find. Nowadays, that means cheapest in the world. PLUS it had free shipping! Couldn't be happier!!

We used it for skis/snowboards this winter and surfboards in the summer. The rack allows us to leave my gas guzzling truck at home now.

Fits well. Easy to assemble and install. One small problem was the instructions had an error in the dimensions for positioning the bars but it was obvious where the correct location was so no big deal.

Written by Ben, on 2/21/2016
Install on our 2015 Mazda CX-9 was a piece of cake. The measurements in the instructions were perfect. Instructions didn't mention that there are 2 sets of holes at the rear of the car (for the factory rails) and you only need to remove the covers from the front-most pair. I took a guess and was right. The racks look great. I do wish they had a cover for the inside side of the towers, but that's a very minor thing.

I ordered this rack because it was an affordable custom fit option for my vehicle. I followed the assembly instructions to the letter and it did not fit. Not even close. I realized shortly thereafter that the custom fit was for a previous model year of my car. I did some pretty complex mathematical equations and finally got it to fit. Cargo Gear was basing their information off what the manuf

Bought these for large kayak - Jackson Big Tuna. Get the job done and have taken a beating so far. The kayak is huge and getting it on the rack can be a wrestling match. So far the cradles have stood up to it though I don't expect them to for more than a season or two which I would consider fair for the cost of the product and heavy use its getting. Simple product, quality won't wow you, but its a fair deal. Goot fit on my roof rack, no problems with screws. Cargogear shipping was on time and I'd order from them again.

I bought one for a trip this summer. The installation instructions were clear and well written. I had it on the car and ready to use in less than an hour. About the only thing that doesn't appear to be all that good are the stickers that one places inside the door jamb to mark the placement of the rack. They are contact stickers and do not adhere very well. Otherwise, it seems to be a sturdy, rel

Very well made. Looking sharp. I ordered in black purely for the looks. I didnt notice any noise driving fast like i have read in some reviews. I did have difficulty installing. Rubber pads had part number on them that didnt match instructions at all. So i hade to youtube it to see how other ppl install it to figure out. Same happened with brackets!!!! That was a nightmare, an hour of install/uninstall/install/uninstall and i just figured what goes where!!!! I wish it was in istructions!

I've had the rack on a few weeks and I'm looking forward to snow. The rack produced a high whistle above 35 mph. I cured that, completely, with a Yakima wind screen. No whistle on up through highway speeds. The rack is snug. It took a while to attach, and its tamper resistant hex bolts were new to me, so new I ordered a nib for my torque wrench before discovering the purpose of the curved fin on the hex wrench provided!

Be ware that once this is on your car, there will be wind noises at high speeds. Kind of annoying. If I would have know about this, I would not have purchased it.

This is a great roof rack and the instructions are good. Just set aside some time and take your time to do it. You will need to measure accurately to align it straight. On my Prius, and I read this elsewhere, any roof rack will decrease your mileage. For me I lost about 2-3 mpg, but that is because the car is very aerodynamic with a small engine.
