Installation

Rhino-Rack® - RLCP Series Fit Kit for Vortex Load Bars Installation Instructions

Rhino-Rack’s patented Foxwing awning is an easy to use swing out awning that shades the side and rear of a vehicle. It takes only minutes to set up and provide protection from the sun and rain. Part of the reason for the Foxwing’s ease of use is because it attaches to Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty, Aero, and Sportz cross bars. These fitting kits are designed to increase the usefulness of the awning and expand the number of applications where it can be used.

If you’d like to able to have full use of your cross bars for cargo and accessories, but also want to mount a Foxwing, the 31102 fitting kit enables the awning to be installed to the ends of the Rhino-Rack H/D cross bars. If you have an ARB or TJM roof mounted cargo tray, the 31103 kit allows the awning to be installed to the tray. The 31104 kit accomplished the same for those with a Tracklander tray. And the 31105 kit enables the awning to be installed on vehicles with Thule, Inno, or Yakima roof racks.

Each kit comes with hardware and instructions and is backed by a limited 3-year warranty to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship.

One Screw Faulty
When trying to put it together I realized there was one screw that had messed up threads resulting in not being able to use it. As this was purchased in the off-season, it took quite a while before I noticed it. My bad for waiting so long to contact the company. It still is frustrating when you pay for something and one little screw sets you back. Otherwise, it seems like it would have been perfect.

Great Rack, but Wind Whistle
This one is great, and holds my kayak nicely. I already had the headliner out so installation was straightforward, but I wouldn't call it simple. Bolts were plenty long and had to be cut off to get the headliner back in. I like the way the rails attach to the track -- very easy but still sturdy. And when I take the rack off and put the caps over the mounting pedestals, you hardly notice there's anything there. Only problem is that it whistles badly -- possibly due to the ramp shape of the roof just in front of the forward rail of the rack. I covered the end caps on the rails, and that was not the problem. I'll cover the bottom track of that forward rail to solve it.

Great Product
I would give this 5 stars, but the only problem I had was that the bars made a howling noise at certain speeds. There are ways to mitigate and it's more of an inconvenience than an issue.

Very trustworthy, even with a kayak strpped to it. Only complaint is when it has nothing on tge rails, there's a light whistle.

Doing Good
Got it a bit ago because it came in right on time, but didn't put it on my car until recently. Didn't take long at all to put up and strapped a kayak to it that night. Was able to drive around with it up there with no worries. Only complaint is that when nothings strapped to the rails, there is a light whistle you hear when driving around but oh well I'm just happy to have rails that are trustworthy.

This Is a Joke
Reviews have to be reviewed by TRUCKiD before posted. Such a scam.

Awesome
I originally ordered an Amazon special trying to save money and be cheap, turned out to be junk, ordered this roof rack a few weeks ago, finally installed in on my 2013 Chevy Cruze, really solid, doesn't move at all. I really like it, installation was fairly easy, highly recommend if you want something solid.

Question:
By "bolts and washers only" does that mean the plastic over/under pieces and the bolts that hold them together? Or literally just bolts and standard washers, while the plastic mounting pieces shown in black (and not shadowed) aren't included?
