Missed parts

  • Missing pieces!
Size: 71-Inch Color: Black
Product arrived on time but was missing 4 of the 5 rubber strips normally found inside the bar during transport. Customer service was very responsive. Unfortunately, it took a month to receive the missing pieces. 6 were sent. Product installs easily enough after mock-up.

  • It does not fit sx100 legs, although good quality
Size: 54-Inch Color: Silver
I purchase this va137s and sx100 legs. However to my surprise they don’t fit. It is too narrow for the rail of the rack so that the leg could not slid into it. I think it is about 4mm short and I had to cut the aluminum alloy in order to fit. It is too time consuming and not worth the effort. But my racks passed the amazon return window already so that I had to do this in order not to lose the money/value. Not sure whose fault, both the rack and the legs are Rhino and purchased from Amazon. According to rhino document, they should fit. Attached my pictures to illustrate this process. Besides the size issue, the end cap does not fit well. It fails to lock it and it is pretty loose and easy to get dropped. I just used some super glue to stick it. this is going to prevent me from installing other rhino parts on the rail. But should be good for the time being. Don't want to invest more on metal lock caps. Overall, I think there are some engineering issues with the rhino rack. What I purchased is the silver one (137s). The black one (138b) looks like wider and can fit. But I don't know. Hopefully the factory can improve this, at least have more specific size information. I have searched the internet and checked manuals all over, but did not find much useful information. I give it still to 3 starts because the quality of the rack is good. I believe there is no issue for roof top cargo box or tent. ... show more

  • Sturdy Aerodynamic Crossbars
Size: 49-Inch Color: Black
These crossbars are aerodynamic and are very sturdy. I did not notice any MPG change when I mounted these bars versus the large rectangular Pioneer platform I had mounted previously (2 MPG decrease). I purchased the 49" crossbars. I used them to mount to some RLTP legs I have on my Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited. I mounted my 16'4" Old Town Canoe to these bars without issue. The bars handled the 70-80 lb canoe with ease and without flexing. They also look great. I am giving the bars 4 stars vs 5 due to the design that creates extra wind noise with how I have them set-up. Even when you cover all the channels in the bars with the supplied plastic strips (top and bottom), I still had a steady humming noise on the highway around 55 mph plus. The noise was caused by the two grooves beside the mounting channel on the underside of the crossbars that are not covered by rubber strips. When I covered these grooves with tape, all the extra wind noise disappeared. Fortunately, removing the crossbars takes about 2 minutes, so I can easily demount and mount the crossbars as I need to. That, or leave tape on the bars to cover the grooves on the underside. ... show more

  • Great quality, be careful about your rack width.
Size: 59-Inch Color: Black
Great quality bars. One thing to note is that if you order a certain bar length, the channel on the bottom only runs about 8 inches towards the middle on each side and then stops, meaning, if you are ordering a set of bars that are quite a bit wider than your mounting width, that you may run out of room in the bottom channel for mounting. As an example, I mounted these to my Nissan Frontier OEM roof rack, which is fairly narrow. I used the 59” bars because I already have the same length ones on my truck shell and wanted them to match. Because the stock roof rack is only 36” wide or so there wasn’t quite enough room to install the SX clamp/channel style legs, so I ended up lengthening the channel a little with a dremel. Not a big deal, but something to be aware of. ... show more

  • Very sturdy!
Size: 44-Inch Color: Silver
Very well constructed. Used the bar for 2015 Prius. Took 8 hr ski trip and no issue. Glad I didn't cheap out and buy cheap no brand rack. Just make sure you buy the correct parts for your car to go with the bar.(mounting bracket etc) Also as many mentioned, vga strip is inside the bar. This is also described in the instruction!! ... show more

  • Excellent product and fast shipping.
Size: 49-Inch Color: Black
I'm not one to write reviews but I figured I'd help others who may have trouble in the future. Ordered these bars since they were cheapest price I could find anywhere. Shipping was a matter of days great! Once bars arrived neither had VGS strips like the description mentioned. Just by chance I took both end caps off and was looking through the bars I could see something lodged in there. Tapped it on the carpet and sure enough the VGS strips fell out, as you can see in picture where they were stuck. If you purchase these bars and you don't see the strips, they're most likely stuck in the hole. ... show more
