220LBS Roof Rack Cross Bars for 2019-2025 RAV4 XLE XSE Premium Limited Hybrid LE with Side Rails, Lockable Aluminum Crossbars Cargo Rooftop Luggage Canoe Kayak Bicycle roof Bag

I recently purchased the FLYCLE Roof Rack Crossbars for my 2024 Toyota RAV4 XLE, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The installation was a breeze—just follow the instructions, and you'll have them mounted in no time. The aluminum construction feels incredibly sturdy, and it’s reassuring to know that it can support up to 165 lbs (75 kg) of cargo. One of my biggest concerns with roof racks is the potential for wind noise, but these crossbars have exceeded my expectations. They are designed to minimize noise, and I've barely noticed any difference while driving at highway speeds. This has made road trips a lot more enjoyable. The crossbars are a perfect fit for my RAV4 XLE and match the vehicle's sleek design. I appreciate that FLYCLE specifically notes which models they do and don’t fit—this made my purchasing decision a lot easier. I’ve used the crossbars with a rooftop cargo bag, and everything stayed secure throughout my trip. If you’re looking for a high-quality, durable, and quiet roof rack for your RAV4, I highly recommend the FLYCLE Roof Rack Crossbars!

When I purchased this Flycle rack, no review mentioned install on a RAV4 Prime... but data elsewhere suggested standard RAV4 2019-2024 RAV4s trims including the Prime (with exception of some select special trims ex. Woodland trim) used the same roof rack model. -> This Flycle Rack fit my '24 RAV4 Prime SE model just fine! I found everything needed for install "in the box" except a tool for removing the OEM "covers" on the roof rails where the rack mounts (I carefully used a screw driver to pry these out, but a plastic pry tool would be safest for the car finish). Install instructions could be more clear (Toyota OEM PT278-42192 instructions are more complete if you can find them, as the rack seems to install almost identically). Basically the product consisted of black finished aluminum cross bars, black metal-like support towers on the ends, w/ black plastic "tower covers" (which first snap in place... then "lock on" by turning a plastic "lock insert" w/ a special provided key). I first removed the plastic "tower covers" from the metal towers, then "loose installed" the cross bars on the metal towers using a supplied hex wrench, then sorted the gaskets for installing the cross bar assembly on the car. There are 4x plastic gaskets fitting the bottoms of the metal support towers (protecting finish of the roof of RAV4). I had to flatten and re-form these gaskets pre-install, as they were folded and creases had "set" during shipment (but they flattened out OK). Each metal tower bolts down to the "roof rails" embedded in the roof of the RAV4 with one M8 bolt using a supplied hex wrench. My Flycle instructions did not specify bolt torques... but Toyota specs suggested 12 Nm = ~19 pounds force on the end of the supplied 5.5" hex wrench in my Flycle package for this M8 bolt. Once the towers and cross bars were in place, I tightened the retaining screws holding the cross bars in place on the towers (I did this with everything mounted on the roof... a bit challenging... but doable if you are tall or have something to stand on to see what you are doing under the cross bars. Assessment post install (but pre-use) - Seem great cross bars... rigid and strong... look like they could be OEM models to me. If you'll mount them permanently, they seem fine as-installed out of the box. If you will take them on/off as as needed... (my norm), several mods may be useful. For storing the OEM plastic "roof rail covers" in the glovebox... (for re-install after rack removal)... I cut a small corrugated cardboard "storage sheet" with holes punched in it to accommodate the somewhat fragile "plastic clips" protruding from these rail covers (so they don't get broken in glovebox storage). Two parts on each tower also look at risk of getting lost during repeated install/removal: the plastic lock inserts can fall out once unlocked, and the plastic gaskets can likewise get separated/lost. I plan to carefully remove (without dropping!) and then storing the "lock inserts" in the glovebox w/ the other bits needed to install/remove the rack... lest they fall out unknowingly when storing the crossbars when not in use. I will either do the same with the gaskets... or I'll permanently double-stick tape the gaskets to the metal towers. I'll store all the small "install bits" in a quart zip-lock bag in the RAV4 glove box for use when needed. Happy w/ purchase thus far (at ~1/2 OEM rack "discount prices" I found...).

Easy to install, fit is perfect around the rails on my Rav4. Looks custom, very solid. One thing to note: the caps/covers with the locks only go on one way. The left ones and the right ones aren't interchangeable. Pay attention to where you took them off and keep them oriented left and right. Front and back doesn't matter. If you mix them up, you'll find they won't go on completely. It's helpful to have your own allen wrench to tighten the adjusting screws for the length. The tool they provide won't fit between the bar and your roof, but if you use your own, it's possible to adjust the length and tighten the bars in place. I used a mirror to help locate the screws while tightening. Worked great. Update: We ended up returning this rack and getting a bar-type with towers. Turns out the curve of the bars on this rack caused our carbon fiber canoe to slide off to the side while loading. The bars are very slick, and they are higher in the middle than on the sides. If you're mounting a J-rack, bike rack or a luggage rack to it, this will not be an issue. But if you're loading your canoe directly on the rack, it's easy to lose it over the side. We're lucky we caught ours in time before it hit the ground or damaged the car or canoe, but be aware this can be an issue with canoes.

Roof Rack Cross Bars for 2019-2025 RAV4 by Flycle arrived on time, well packaged and in good condition. All parts were supplied and decent quality. Fit and finish was fine. Installation was pretty easy and straight forward. I liked the extra quarter-turn fasteners in case some break or get lost. If I had to pick on something, I would tweak the instructions to make them a little clearer. The mounting base gaskets could be thicker and packed so they arrive without being folded and crumpled up.

I upgraded from my OEM cross bars to these ones, I have a 2014 rav 4 and these are a perfect fit and fee extremely sturdy. I haven’t noticed any additional wind noise compared to the OEM cross bars. Super easy to install. Would highly recommend giving them a try

Don’t waste your money on the OEM dealer model. This one saves you a bundle and it’s perfectly fine. Installation was easy once you get past the useless instructions and figure it out yourself. Installation was actually intuitive and the written instructions made it confusing. Just don’t bother reading them. Good product, though. Well worth the money.

No es lo que prometen, fotos engañosas en la publicidad ofrecen mayor seguridad en el soporte de los pernos pero en realidad es el mismo producto que ofrecen otros vendedores por un precio mucho más barato

The roof rack crossbars are a very good quality & as described. Installation was relatively easy, even for a guy in his 70s. With the help of watching a YouTube video about this, or a similar product, my confidence level told me to go for it. Unbox to completion was less than an hour, even for someone not particularly mechanically inclined. I'm happy with these.

Muy buen producto
