Rhino-Rack® Roof Racks Reviews

Great product and easy to install.

I originally ordered an Amazon special trying to save money and be cheap, turned out to be junk, ordered this roof rack a few weeks ago, finally installed in on my 2013 Chevy Cruze, really solid, doesn't move at all. I really like it, installation was fairly easy, highly recommend if you want something solid.

I installed it and added several lights to the rack. The "notches" in the middle really help tuck them away so I'm not worried about them on a trail. I opted to not install the plastic wind deflector on the top and noticed I could remove the top bar in front if needed down the line. Overall very happy with the look and feel if the rack.

Easy to order, and the price was reasonable.

Eye bolts work out great. Holds my kayak on the roof of my Jeep securely. Only wish I had gotten them before I installed the roof rack.

Rack came partially assembled which saved me time and hassle. Was very surprised that much attention was given to me as a customer from ordering til receipt of product. Rack looks amazing and fits perfectly!

The racks look great, they were have assembled upon arrival and although my husband installed them for me it was pretty easy.

Awesome stuff. Heavy duty and rugged, plus, easy on, easy off!

We were impressed with everything from ordering to receiving! Installed the Rhino Rack and the Rhino Box and did a 600 mile road trip the first weekend. Couldn't be happier - it stayed on tight and the access from either side is the best.

Very trustworthy, even with a kayak strpped to it. Only complaint is when it has nothing on tge rails, there's a light whistle.

We weren't sure if these carriers would work because scion xa isn't listed. This is a small scion but it was able to handle 2 kayaks with these Rhino Rack fixed J style kayak carrier. We loved how easy it was to load and unload our kayaks. Each time we use it, we learn a little faster technique to tie them down. Not only do we use our kayaks more, we can use a car instead of our truck, allowing us to transport to places further away without the gas costs of our truck. Having two kayaks on the car does use up our gas quicker but still cheaper than transporting in a truck. The model in this survey says IA but doesn't mention an XA. You might want to add the XA.

This one is great, and holds my kayak nicely. I already had the headliner out so installation was straightforward, but I wouldn't call it simple. Bolts were plenty long and had to be cut off to get the headliner back in. I like the way the rails attach to the track -- very easy but still sturdy. And when I take the rack off and put the caps over the mounting pedestals, you hardly notice there's anything there. Only problem is that it whistles badly -- possibly due to the ramp shape of the roof just in front of the forward rail of the rack. I covered the end caps on the rails, and that was not the problem. I'll cover the bottom track of that forward rail to solve it.

The rack system was fairly easy to install and makes a very secure way for me to carry items that won't easily fit under the cap. I ordered tracks that were a bit too long to fit the curvature of my topper, but it was easy enough to trim them to length using a miter saw. I wish I had bought this sooner!

Got it a bit ago because it came in right on time, but didn't put it on my car until recently. Didn't take long at all to put up and strapped a kayak to it that night. Was able to drive around with it up there with no worries. Only complaint is that when nothings strapped to the rails, there is a light whistle you hear when driving around but oh well I'm just happy to have rails that are trustworthy.

The package was delivered in a couple of days, good packaged and with no scratches (I examined it thoroughly). I installed it myself within an hour. The installation was not so smooth, but I've managed to complete it without any issues. And now, when the roof rack's been completely installed, it looks great! Good product, in general.

Received rack promptly. All parts were included. Instructions could be clearer, but overall I was pleased with the prompt shipment and packaging. Took me about 2 hours to assemble and install on my F-150. It is one solid high quality rack! It is well worth the time it takes to install it. Once you are done, removal and reinstallation is a piece of cake. The instructions and decals provided allow you to put the rack back on exactly where it needs to go. Very pleased with my purchase.

Product looks awesome and was easy to install.

Great product. Easy to install, works great, and you don't have to hunt for the tie downs. The eye bolts and bars are sold in pairs. The ratchet is sold individual. They are pricey, and in hindsight, I may have just gone for 2 sets of eye bolts and use a cheap set of ratchet tie downs from the hardware store. They do look nice and are easy to use.

Very stable when mounted. Quick and easy. Very good quality!

I frequently fish streams that are accessible by roads with pullover parking at various points along them. The Rhino-Rack multi purpose holders allow me and my companions to safely transport our fly rods fully assembled and ready to fish from pullover to pullover. Each holder can hold at least two fly rods. After parking we can be casting to rising fish in less than a minute. On my Honda Ridgeline I installed 2 sets of Multi Purpose Holders on my crossbars, each holder is located as close to the roof rails as possible. This allows quick and easy access to load or offload our fly rods as soon as were parked or ready to depart. The rubber strap snaps securely over the button part of the front or rear post with little effort by simultaneously hooking the the straps desired hole under the edge the posts button and pulling the straps end downward at a 45 degree angle. I've really gotten to love these multi purpose holders, they've made my fly fishing experience so much more enjoyable. Other advantages: In between the two sets of holders I have plenty of room to transport a canoe, kayak or other apparatus on my crossbars and use the holders to transport paddles or other ancillary components. Since I snow ski I plan on using the holders to transport my skis and poles. Again, loading and unloading will be easier. I also dinghy sail so I can use the holders to transport masts and booms. Installation was a breeze: my 3 inch wide, flat semielliptical cross bars were ideally suited for the holders upper and lower universal clamps. Installation time per holder was about 10 minutes using the allen key provided in the kit. Instructions are well illustrated and explicit.

Purchased for a 2012 Toyota Tundra Crewmax. Fitment was great and product is good quality. Found this on CARiD after being told by several other retailers that there was no such track set that would fit in the Tundra's roof ditch. I really wanted a product like this so that it would not raise the vehicles height when no accessories were connected to it. This item is totally invisible unless you have crossbars or other accessories connected to it. It is also the strongest way to add cargo to the Tundra since the rails use the roof ditch. Installation took about 1.5 hours and is well laid out in the installation instructions. The instructions recommended against using a hand held pop rivet gun but that is what I used and it worked great. Just don't rush the rivet and make sure the track is flush with the roof ditch while working the rivet. I would recommend totally completing one side before starting the other side. It took me about 1 hour to do the first side and 20 minutes to complete the other side since I knew exactly what I was doing after completing the first side. My particular set did not come with the plastic ends that are shown in the item pic. I don't think they are required or necessary for the Tundra. Packaging and shipping were solid and on time.

There was a back for my purchase, which I was informed immediately and given the opportunity to wait for the items to come in or cancel my order. When I did receive my items, everything was packaged securely and had clear installation instructions.

Keep in mind that this only works off of the back wheel if you are using a roof rack. It didn't give me the height I needed for an adequate reach. If you use it, don't load your trunk or back of SUV/or roof rack with any significant weight. The vehicle settles and you cannot get the bar above the wheel because the wheel well has been compressed. Common sense would probably have told me that but "common sense isn't common any more".
