Hi everybody. Bruce here at etrailer. Today we're gonna take a look at and install our Inno Aero roof rack on our 2020 Toyota RAV4. You may be wondering why you may need a roof rack. Roof rack's the perfect option to go ahead and free up space inside your vehicle, or if you've got skis that you're carrying or snowboards or anything muddy and you don't want to get that inside your vehicle, it's a great option. Before you really decide which roof rack you would like, We need to check a few things out.
On our RAV4 today, we have raised rails and the way we can tell it's a raised rail, I can fit my hand underneath the bottom rail and the top rail. Then you're gonna have flush mounted rails or you're gonna have a naked roof. Let's go ahead and get into some of the features. What I do like about this roof rack, it is a nice sleek look and it does have a little bit of a overhang, which is good if you're carrying skis or snowboards. You can keep those closer to you.
And we also do have locking cores that this does come with. So you can lock your rails down, unlock it, pull that off, and then what else I like is it is a completely toolless design. This is how we loosen and tighten our towers onto our crossbars. Now if we go ahead and look underneath the knob here, we do have a rubber strap that goes around our rail and that's instead of a clamp style. It's a really good feature 'cause it really snugs it down to the rails and get a really good bite.
Plus it's got rubber coating so it's not gonna scratch or anything on your factory rail system. Now moving up top to our crossbar here, maybe you can see this little rubber strip in there. That is a great feature 'cause that is able to accept any T channel accessories. If we pull the end cap off, you do not have to remove this piece of rubber. The T channels just push down and they will grip right inside there.
Let's go ahead and take a few measurements. The first measurement I'm gonna take is our overhang. Overhang is great if you've carrying skis or anything like that, you can actually get those closer to you so you're not reaching all the way over to the center. You can actually have 'em over to the edge of the vehicle further and we will make 'em easier to take off. Our overhang on the front, we're looking at about two and a half inches. And if we go ahead and move to the back, we've got a little more, we're looking at about four inches. That'll give you plenty of space to go ahead and clamp anything here. The other measurement I really want to take right now is our crossbar spread, and that's from the back crossbar to the front crossbar. We're looking at about 28 inches. Now that's gonna vary depending on what accessories you're actually mounting up there. You may need to be a little further, but we're pretty much maxed on the back and we've got a little room on the front, but you're looking at 28 inches. The next measurement I do want to take is on top of the roof, how much distance do we have to the crossbar to the actual roof And this vehicle, we do have a sunroof and we do have it popped open and there's still plenty of space there. So I'm gonna go ahead and measure from the sunroof itself. And we're looking at to the bottom rail, you're looking at about three and a half inches. So if you do have any accessories that do clamp on, you're gonna have plenty of space to still operate your sunroof. I really like the overhang feature on this roof rack, but if you don't care for an overhang, there is another option for you. It's the Inno Aero flush mount, which takes your crossbars and puts them even with your end cap here on your tower. If you do like the way this roof rack looks, stick around and we'll show you the installation. We already have one of our crossbars mounted on our vehicle. We're gonna go ahead and show you how to mount the other one. So what I like to do is go ahead and put out all my parts. So I've got two towers, I've got a set of keys and I've got two locking end caps for our towers. And we have our crossbar. What we noticed with our rail is it does have two different sides here. You've got a flatter side and a more arrow side. The flatter side is actually gonna face the front. So now we tip turn this over and our T-track here is for our tower. You notice it's got a little lock here. We do need to press this in, move it o
