2014 Avalon Roof Rack - Rhino-Rack with Locks - Complete System, Rectangular Euro Bars

We bought this roof rack for our new Toyota Avalon, in part because the "big name manufacturers" didn't offer one for the car. The fact that it cost at least $100 less than a rack from one of those "big name manufacturers" was a bonus. The directions were easy to follow, with only one very minor discrepancy that was easy to work around. Without that, this would be a five star review.

Used for kayaks with thule compatible kayak holders.... Works fine BUT. The instructions for installation of the rack on the car roof were wrong at a certain point. The front bar/ feet/rubber mounts were fine and installation was no problem. The rear bar however was odd. The instructions had the arrow on the rubber mounts going the wrong way which is impossible noting the cutout on the rubber mounts must match the water channel in the roof of the car. When reversed it worked fine and installed easier than a thule rack. 1 thing they never tell you the hex wrench they give you has a torque measurement device built into it . Took some close examination of the wrench to,notice it.

It was confusing trying to put it together at first because of the two options for installation. Once we figured it out it was fine. Had to adjust - a couple of times on our road trip.

Easy to install and very solid. Go from Oregon to California and these racks are just as good as those twice the price.

Easy on/off , sturdy construction

Fairly easy to install with reading directions carefully.

Easy to install. I have put many other brand racks on vehicles and had to keep checking instruction. These were super easy to install.
