Poor quality good for accessories

Our car carrier system has mountain bike and snowboard mounts. Last year the lock mechanism on the bike broke. I called Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Rhino Customer Service. I bought a replacement bike lock mechanism and it has been updated from our version. Now last week the card holder lock was not working and after two calls to Rhino customer service the same thing was going around. The card stand has an internal…

Great rack! for outdoor recreation

Excellent frame. Have driven it almost 1000 miles through many storms and never had any problems. Stable stand. The people who said the braces broke put them on tight. Quick Start: Rotate the top bracket so they are perpendicular to the crossbars. Adjust the bottom brackets tight enough to prevent the rack from falling, but loose enough to allow it to be moved to align the front and back. (Repeat for the rear pillar). Tighten the upper bracket to the lower bracket just enough so that it does…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Working speed

Good value for money. Not perfect.

Suitable for my purpose. I use it as a fishing rod stand on my car to avoid constantly stealing my wife's truck. The locks are quite flimsy as other reviews have mentioned, expect them to hold the luggage racks securely while driving and not against someone trying to open them. However, they're secure enough that you can't open them without breaking the jambs with a tool, so they'll likely hold back for someone just wanting to grab what you've got. in the channels of the roof rack. Luckily my…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

READ THIS (need to know)

So a few things. The shelves are amazing how I lay them out. The point with these racks is that you have to make sure you tighten all the bolts both inside the rack (below the hole, it's obvious) and make sure you center it on the roof bars. If you do that, you can hit 100 mph, and those things won't budge an iota. I've had them for about a month now and keep checking them to make sure they aren't moving. I feel like the people who wrote the negative reviews didn't know what to do and assumed…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Available in white only

Very disappointed for so many reasons

Very disappointed for so many reasons. I received a returned and used Rhino 576 mount. The gear bag had a tear in the bottom. ALL security keys are missing. Five nuts for the bottom bracket are missing. Three pucks are missing. Two U-bolts are missing. , Bolt threads clogged, Bolt heads snapped, All upper triple clamp fasteners overtightened. I'm going on a summer trip in two days - exchanging for a new carrier will not help. I'm sad because I'm doing my research and the friends I know are…

Pros
  • High support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • Minor issues

Perfect rod/reel holder on the roof rack!

These Rhino Rack rod holders are perfect for safely transporting your rod and reel. High quality workmanship, easily attaches to existing roof rack crossbars with the included hex key and security locks! Just don't over tighten, some reviews said they broke the plastic mounting tabs and the blocks were weak. Follow the instructions. Mine has hauled rods/reels from the ocean to the mountains throughout the New England region with no problem. Follow the installation instructions. Rhino Rack takes

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • OK

Pros: Works well. Easy to install and use. Good boot for your money Cons: 1. The included screws are (I think) too short for most cars. The bars on my Nissan Xterra and BMW x3 were too thick for the bolts. However, these are standard M4 screws and longer ones can be found at any hardware store. The screws cost about $1 each and you will need 8 of them. Sooooo add $8 and the hassle of going to the hardware store.2. The plastic brackets that attach the rack to the crossbars are pretty…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some bugs

Worked great until the locks froze

We really liked this roof rack. 2 sets of skis, sticks and 2 snowboards easily fit in. However, instead of the 4 in the description, we only received 2 sets of keys. We expected installation to be easy, but it took a long time as an Allen key had to be used for each bracket. On the other hand, it was good for security. Diving with luggage racks without attached skis or snowboards created a lot of wind resistance. Very noisy and annoying which we didn't like. Unfortunately, after a great day on…

Pros
  • Tested for a year
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Difficult to jam when loading

I've been using Rhino Rack on my 2017 Explorer Sport for about 3 years. While installation was easy, loading and unloading was very difficult as the locking mechanism is under direct pressure from the latches when loading. When empty, the lock cylinder can rotate smoothly around the bolt, but of course under any load the clamps move apart a little, causing the bolt to occupy the same spot where the lock cylinder normally rotates. The problem is compounded by the fact that the small key is the…

  • This is great
