    Description

    You've packed your car to the gills for some fun on the open road. Now there's no elbow room left for your passengers. Stampede through the cabin clutter and pile your gear on the roof of your ride with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Base Rack System.

    Born from the land down under, the Rhino-Rack 2500 Base Rack System is more resilient than Crocodile Dundee. Wrought from premium aluminum, Rhino roof racks have the backbone to survive anywhere, from the unforgiving Outback to the mean streets of Manhattan. And, their clean oval design looks sharp on any vehicle.

    Everything you need to build a sturdy, cargo-carrying platform on top of your auto is included with your Rhino Rack 2500 Series Base Rack System: high-strength aluminum crossbars, custom-fit clamps and key locking system. Even more, the gutterless mounting make installation a cinch—no gluing, drilling or other adapter plates needed. And, your Rhino roof rack conforms to all other Rhino-Rack accessories like bike, cargo and boat carriers. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

    This rack was easy to put on my truck. Great quality. I loaded 3 SUP's on it and traveled about 30 miles at 60 mph. I had no problems or wind noise.Very sturdy.

    1 - The instructions are very good. You MUST take the time to read them and understand them. Installation will then be easy. 2 - One-person installation is not an issues. 3 - Took my first long-distance trip (3+ hrs. each way) without an issue. 4 - High quality product which I believe will be durable over the long term.

    NIce racks. Relatively easy to set up.

    Reviewed by James D (LOWELL, MA) Reviewed for a 2009 Acura TSX — May 29, 2013 6:13 PM

    It took me about 2 hours to set these up and get them on the car. There were a couple of little issues that were confusing but I got past those. There are measurements that tell you where to place the racks on the car that are accurate to 1/32nd of an inch, but I was lucky to have them within 0.25" of the right location. That said they fit well and were stable. I found the wind noise to be minimal compared to previous rack systems I have owned. They are also easy to take on and off the car.

    This rack works great and fits great! Tried buying a cheaper brand (ROLA) from another vendor, had it delivered, we installed it and it fit horribly and the quality was terrible. A few notes about the Rhino Rack: The packaging is professional and smart, the quality is superb and proudly made in Australia, the pads that hold the rack to the car have excellent cushion and are angled nicely for a good grab onto the door jam, and Rhino Rack did well including thorough instructions and parts!

    Reviewed by William K (ANNAPOLIS, MD) Reviewed for a 2011 Honda Civic — May 15, 2013 11:06 AM

    The rack is sturdy and well constructed. It is easy to put together and I like that its position can be adjusted based upon what you want to carry. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it would be nice if it had cross-bars. Also - be wary, it will probably reduce your MPG because it messes with the aerodynamics of the car. So it might be best to keep it off the car if it's not being used (unless you think it's worth it because it looks cool).

    Reviewed by William R D (EAST POINT, GA) — May 09, 2013 12:35 PM

    I was not impressed with this system. When tightening the clamps down for the rack base, the rubber started coming loose from one of the clamps. I tightened it down anyway, but the rack came loose from the car while driving. Luckily it didn't fly all the way off the roof and hit another car. I believe the one clamp was defective since the others did not separate from the rubber.

    Phone rep honed in on the model I needed for my load size and weight right away. I received it quickly. Every step in the instruction manual was clear except one that should have been written better. Took me overnight and sleeping on it to figure out what the heck it meant. Also the straps I was recommended were not adequate. Too narrow and not long enough. Once I got the cargo box on the roof, I secured it barely enough to get to the hardware store and get a great professional 4 pack of straps.

    On the original manufacturers rack system, you have to do quite a bit of work to install their racks. including, lifting up the plastic insert piece and drilling out some holes etc. I tried to read the install instruction for the drx on the sheet, but wasnt sure what was involved? ie. do you have to drill into the car? thanks.

    Answered by Douglas G. — Apr 18, 2012 8:46 PM 2012 Hyundai Elantra

    The clamps have a thin layer of rubber coating on the inside. I picked up some clear vinyl on ebay and cut a piece for each tower and clamp so that no piece of the rack directly contacts the paint. The vinyl is easy to put on and remove. Maybe not needed but what the heck my car is still new.
