Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Audi Q5, we're going to be test fitting the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero roof rack system.That's going to consist of part numbers RRVA126b-2. That's going to be our 49" black cross bars up top. These also do come in silver under part number RRVA126s-2. Attaching our crossbars to our factory side rails is gonna be our SRB legs which is going to be part number RRSX030.As you can see this roof rack, these cross bars do have a nice elliptical shape to them along with this rubber strip up top. That's gonna help cut down any type of wind noise or drag while you're driving. Seeing this rubber strip, we know that we can utilize T-track accessories while having this roof rack installed.
How we're gonna do that is we're gonna simply take our plastic roof rack key or our end cap key. And you can replace these with actual metal keys if you chose. You can just purchase those separately at etrailer.com. We're gonna unlock our end cap. And now we have access to the channel right here.
We simply just pull out our rubber strip, then we can cut it to length for our T-track accessory we'd like to utilize. And then we simply just install it and put our end cap back on and lock it down.If we come over here and look at our legs, we're gonna see these nice rubber pads that are between the leg and the factory side rail. So that's gonna prevent any type of scratches or abrasions during installation or during travel. On the other side, if you can see, we're gonna have this nice rubber coated plate that's gonna be basically sandwiching the factory side rail in between out rubber pads and our hook right here. How we got it to tighten down was we simply lifted this little notch up and you can simply tighten and loosen to whatever specifications you would like.
Once you're done you just flip that down. And what's nice about this roof rack system is once you do that, you can simply just use your set of keys you're gonna get, lock that into place, and now you can't raise that up. So it's kind of a nice security precaution that comes with that.I'd like to give you guys a few measurements to give you an idea of how high this might sit off of your roof. Now as you can see, this Audi Q5 does have a sunroof, but if we measure, we're gonna see from the top of the sunroof to the bottom of our bar we're just gonna be about 2 1/4" and from the bottom of, top of our sunroof, to the top of our crossbar it's gonna be about 3 1/4". So that's more than enough space to be able to get any type of accessory you might want, such as a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a kayak carrier.
If it has a strap you can get it around a crossbar without trying to damage the roof or your sunroof of your vehicle. And opening and closing the sunroof isn't going to have a problem with these installed either.The load capacity for these crossbars is 165 pounds, but you want to be sure to double check your vehicle manual to make sure your roof can handle those weights.How we got the placement of our front rail is we have these mounted notches that are on the inside of our factory side rail. And you're gonna, on those metal plates I talked about, you're gonna have notches that correspond with those certain fixed mounting points. And I'll show you more of that once we install our second bar. I can go ahead and show you how to do that.First we're gonna take our other crossbar and flip it over. And this is a pretty easy installation, unlike a lot of roof racks. First, we are just gonna take our end cap key and unlock that. We're gonna take our other leg, making sure that the key insert is facing out, just simply take this little piece and insert it into the channel right there. Before you do that, you want to make sure you have your plate pushed down like that in order to help avoid any type of cont
