Used it for my ski box and it worked great.

Easy to install did exactly what I needed them to do. Arrived on time.

I bought the Inno crossbars for a pending trip to Florida. I planned to use an ancient cartop carrier on these new bars. They worked great. I liked that they are rubber coated and resist scratches. The trip was a success. The Inno bars worked great. My only complaint is that they are a little noisy if I open the sunroof but for their purpose, they work great.

I bought these for my 2014 Nissan Rogue SL. They arrived promptly, in perfect condition and were packaged in recycled packaging, which I appreciated very much. The racks themselves are a bit tedious to install the first time, but once you get the concept, they can be removed and installed quickly. Once installed to the factory rails, they are VERY secure. Because they are square bars, I suspect they would make noise if you drive at high speeds w/ nothing strapped to them. I only install the bars when I need them, so that's not an issue for me. Finally, the cost was very reasonable and much less than factory crossbars (that must match factory rail mounting points and are not easily removable) or more fancy brand name racks that cannot possibly be any more secure than these excellent Inno racks. Highly recommended for people who want a solid crossbar at a great price

Bought this for a kayak camping trip the week before, installed it the morning of, and it worked great! Waaay more affordable than what REI tried to sell me

This was the easiest time I had ever had installing something on my car! Being 5'2" I had absolutely no issues doing it myself. There is a little wind noise while going over 70mph but nothing unbearable & you should expect noise when installing a "wind tunnel" on the roof of your vehicle...duh! We packed up last weekend & headed up I-70 & were actually able to see through the back of our Murano this time...yea! Best buy so far this year!

Written by Boogiejohn, on 1/12/2015
I installed it according to instructions, went on quite simple really. Took it out on the road and above 30mph it started to make a whistling sound, that got louder as the speed was increased. I have since taken them off and sent Cargo Gear an email for a remedy, but have yet to hear from them. May have to ask for a return authorization.

This rack worked great on my 2000 v.w. Passat wagon. Well constructed and holds great. A little difficulty setting it up, but with a little patients, it went on fine and worked great.

Product was easy to install and is high quality! I cannot be more happy and pleased with this purchase.This rack is holding our Thule cargo box for wrestling gear.... Mounted perfect to our Mercedes Wagon

I used this on my small SUV. It has the side rails no cross bars. So I purchased these. It easily attached to my SUV & held the cargo/luggage carrier with no trouble at all.

Written by Harry, on 4/14/2014
The instructions were not as clear as one would like, but we figured it out eventually. We won't have much trouble installing it in the future. Makes some wind noise at highway speed. Good cost alternative to VW part.

I use racks to transport a kayak a short distance and they have lived up to my expextations. Will definitly buy inno products agian.

Written by Ohio savage, on 3/17/2014
The only reason I gave this product such a low rating is because it DOES NOT fit the round rails. I had to go to the hardware store and buy nylock nuts and use a ratchet to put them on. The bottom piece that fastens the cross bar to the rail is flat where the rails are round. I couldn't return the product as we were leaving the next day so it lives on the van. The products itself is sturdy and easily made our 2,000 mile round trip in -30F to 11F degree weather just fine. So....if you have a rail that is square or more flat buy this product:-)

Written by Leeway, on 9/16/2013
These bars are great. They are half (or more in some installations) the price of the OEM at the dealer and they do the job very well.

Written by Chaz, on 8/10/2013
The locking mechanism is a wrap around lock rather than a hook lock so taking the bars on and off on a continual bases is not ideal. It's designed to install and stay on the vehicle. As with all cross bars it increases wind noise at higher speeds unless you have a deflector in front of the bars.Be careful with installation lay a cloth just below the rail area the bracket will install onto as the wrap around metal bracket could scratch your vehicle's roof.

Written by Stazzinator, on 7/26/2013
Product serves the intended purpose. Hoisted a loaded clam shell (Approx. 160#) directly on top of these load bars. Drove 180 miles round trip with no issues. Great product for dollars spent. Easy to install and adjust. Will remove when not in use to reduce drag on vehicle and improve fuel efficiency.

Product arrived quickly and in good packaging. It was easy to install. I have had this for about a month and love it!! I've told other people about the rack system and they have all been impressed with the quality and price! You can't go wrong with this product!

Worked well for our purpose a 3,000 mile trip with 16 cu Shadow carrier.

Written by Steven, on 6/15/2012
I use them on a VW Jetta Sportswagen to haul occasional light but long loads including some lumber. They seem good cross-bars for the money - seem sturdy once installed and look good - but I wonder if other comparatively low/medium priced cross-bars would be easier to install and remove and more durable. They take longer than I like to install and remove, requiring tightening or loosening square nuts that are awkward to reach and turn. These nuts are small but the stability of the cross-bars depends on them - I worry they will not hold up over time. The cross-bars are noisy when driving 40mph or faster, sounding like a strong wind. But they do not seem to lower my fuel efficiency.

Written by The Professor, on 5/24/2012
Went up quick and now I keep it attached to my luggage storage box, seeing as I like the look of our Rouge without the cross members. The luggage box was actually more of a pain to attach than the cross bars! This is good stuff at a good price!

Great product at a reasonable price. They were easy to install and lock. Our J-Hooks installed on the crossbars perfectly and we are now able to load up our kayaks and go!

Written by Peter, on 7/13/2018
I needed a way to mount an ARB shade awning off the side of my vehicle. The Inno cross bars helped me acheive my goal. I was able to mount the bits that grab the factory rails and had enough extra length of square tubing to be able to drill and mount the ARB mounts and then attach the awning. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the product.

Written by Todd, on 7/13/2018
Used it to mount a 95# roof top tent. - Mounted up easily and feels very sturdy. - Not sure what else to say. Money well spent.

Written by John, on 2/25/2018
Ordered to place on 2014 GMC Acadia. The roof rack system arrived within 6 days. Very easy to install, but definitely helps to have a second person for keeping rails aligned. Some increased wind noise noted, but that is to be expected. Placed an XL Thule cargo box on bars, with 2 pair of skis and 3 snow boards. Again noticed some increased wind noise (as expected), but cargo box didn't rattle or shift at all, very snug fit. - - Overall, I highly recommend these cross bars for anyone needing the roof access for large cargo boxes. Worked exactly as expected. - - Thanks.

Written by Watermaker, on 8/4/2016
Bought a set for our 2015 Ford Flex. The factory roof rails are a bit odd shaped, and I had a hard time finding a set of cross rails that could be securely clamped to them without spending $300 . I tried a cheaper set, and ended up ruining them in my attempt to "make them work". Finally I found the Inno set, which has an adjustable strap that wraps around the roof rail for about $225. Perfect! Just returned from a 3600 mile round trip with a cargo box on the roof, and zero troubles. The Inno rails held securely with no vibrations etc. Wish I had found the earlier. Highly recommended.

This is a great product at a great price. Exactly as described - It is very easy to put on and take off of our car and it looks really nice installed. Cargo Gear made it easy to order, the product shipped and arrived on time. I couldn't be happier!

Written by Crazy J, on 3/31/2012
I purchased these rails, so I could supplement my interior cargo space with a hard top carrier.
I installed these by myself in less than fifteen minutes. Honestly it took longer to unpack them out of the original boxes, than for the install.
The locks are simple yet very effective, tighten a rubber over steel strap around your factory installed roof rails, to give you the needed cross rails for mounting just about anything. The bars themselves are plastic coated steel bars that are very strong indeed.
The only negative, is I have noticed a certain amount of wind noise if you mount them to far forward on the vehicle. I think it is the rubber pads on the bottom of the locks, they might be causing a hum when the wind passes over them.

Inno SU Rack Reviews

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. - - -

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.

Written by Melissa, on 1/5/2018

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The CrossRoad rack is Thule's raised rail roof rack. The CrossRoad foot is made of metal with an nice plastic shroud. It clamps around the raised rails of your car with a steel strap that has a thick rubber coating. The AeroBlade cross-bars cut the wind, reducing drag and nearly eliminating noise. With AeroBlade crossbars, adapters may be needed for some accessories, some accessories are not compatible, so be sure to check our rack and accessory guide. Locks are available separately, security is industry standard. While locks cost extra the Thule one key system allows for having the same key for the racks and all accessories. The Aeroblade bars and CrossRoad feet are awesome quality. Quality, looks and no noise, this is the rack to get!

Written by Lloyd, on 7/8/2013
Needed a rack that fits a 2011-2013 Prius with sunroof and REALLY did not want anything that would get close to that pricy solar panel. This fits like it was made for it. Easy on/off, and seems like the roof will collapse before the rack would bend. Only negative is that the bars end up only about two feet apart, so don't plan on carrying any 10' boards on it.

Parts are made of sturdy steel. Have not put the parts on the car yet as im waiting for some missing parts to come in but do not expect any issues with the installation.

This was my first after market roof rack. It is sturdier than the factory installed roof racks I have used in the past. Without factory installed rails this was one of my few options. The price seemed a bit steep to me but seems money well spent.

Using in our SUP business and can stack 4 boards on top-that is impressive ! So far after a month bars are holding up--do wonder if weight over time will crack them but time will tell

Came promptly, installed easily, fits well, seems super sturdy. I'm very pleased -- using it to haul kayaks, bikes, and anything else that doesn't fit inside my small sedan. Does whistle a bit when driving, but that's true of all roof racks.

I can now put my kayak on top of my car without fear of the roof buckling on me. Very simple to install, took about :30 minutes from start to finish. I think I may buy the wind deflecter it can get a little noisy, but I highly recommend this product to anyone!

The racks are built well and easy to install. My husband and I had them completely installed in less than an hour, the instructions are easy to follow. We just got back from a 1200 mile trip, we had 95lbs of cargo strapped to the racks and experianced no issues. The racks are sturdy, and our cargo didn't move at all. Very happy with the purchase.

Got this for holding two 10 foot kayaks. It fits my 2007 Acura TL-S like a glove. Holds the weight I need just fine witch is about 100lbs. The only con, witch should be expected is at interstate speeds (60-80mph) adds a bit extra sound as bars cut though the air. Only a bit, if that's a worry go for the aero model also sold here.

I knew Thule made a great product and cargo gear offered the set I needed for my 2011 prius at the best price and they put everything together for you so don't have to research what 3 thule items you need to have thule roof racks. These racks make it so I can carry a 9 ft longboard on my prius. I recommend getting the wind fairing. It cut out all the wind noise and I hear it helps with gas milage too.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I got this to help haul kayaks. It works great. Bars are pretty quiet too. I also have the Thule Hull-a-Port Aero kayak carrier on them, and still not too bad.

The instructions included were not accurate, I had to find one online that was updated. Specific feet for the system were not mentioned in the instructions along with which clamps were made for the front vs rear bars. After hours of installation I got the bars secured on the roof. I then drove my car and the front bar ripped off my car. I feel like I completely wasted $500.
