The Malone AirFlow2 roof rack lets you carry gear and accessories on the roof of your vehicle with raised, factory side rails. This complete roof rack system includes 2 aluminum, aerodynamic crossbars and 4 towers. Rubber strips in the top channels push down for easy loading of T-slot accessories and carriers. The full-length crossbars extend past the towers to give you more mounting space for carriers, and the towers have built-in locks to protect the rack from theft. The rack clamps onto your raised side rails and tightens down with the included tool, so it's easy to remove and install.
Aerodynamic Shape
The AirFlow2's Aerodynamic shape helps control air flow over and under the bar to significantly decrease wind noise and vibration even at highway speeds. This decreases the need to add a fairing to your roof rack. The aero-style bar also reduces drag and helps maintain fuel efficiency.
Lightweight, Aluminum Crossbars
The silver crossbars are made of aluminum, which makes them strong, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion. The bars also have plastic endcaps to protect the interiors from the elements and to give your roof rack a finished look.
Durable Towers with Built-In Security
The towers are made of molded nylon that won't fade or wear down when exposed to the elements. Each tower includes a nylon cover with a built-in lock to deter would-be thieves from removing the rack from your roof. The covers also protect the towers' interior and hardware from the elements.
Easy Installation with Rubber-Coated Steel Clamps
The towers attach to your vehicle's raised, factory side rails with rubber-coated steel clamps. The rubber coating provides a superior grip on your side rails and protects them from damage during installation and use.
To tighten, simply turn the bolt inside the tower assembly with the included installation tool until the clamps are snug. Once assembled, the towers and crossbars stay together as one unit, which makes removing, storing, and reinstalling the system a snap. To remove, simply remove the cover and loosen the bolts inside the towers with the installation tool.
Channel and Clamp-On Accessories
These crossbars have built-in top channels with strips that allow you to carry channel-mounted accessories on your roof. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet.
Maximum Cargo Carrying Capacity
The AirFlow2 includes full-length crossbars that extend past the towers. The increased length gives you more space to mount accessories and carriers to your roof rack. The bars are compatible with most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers.

The ease of installation with these crossbars was amazing, they feel solid once tightened down, and they look fantastic and ready for a roof basket! Never used this brand or heard of them but I was looking for affordable crossbars and these have 100% delivered. I also have not added the sound-deadening weather stripping that slots into the bottom of the rail, and I don’t feel a need to as up to 70mph I have not heard any new noise from the bars whatsoever. Fantastic product!

With one exception the roof top carrier worked well. The exception is two rail caps came off. (See photos.) The rack still works fine, but detracts from the appearance of the car.

These Malone aero crossbars look great, were easy to install, and seem as strong as the much more expensive Thule crossbars I put on my wife's car. I love that the adjustment tool is included in the tower component, and that locks are included. I haven't had any trouble with the end caps falling out like some people in these reviews have mentioned. I made sure they snapped in properly when I installed. They're made with a section that flips out so you can access the t-slot along the top of the crossbar in case you use racks that can attach that way. These do hum a little when I drive, but I don't think any more than the comparable Thules on my wife's car. Certainly it's less than my old round Yakima crossbars. The other difference I've noticed between these and the Thules is that these are horizontally flat, whereas the Thule aero bar crowns a bit in the middle. This ends up making the Thules generally match the slight roundedness of your car's roof, whereas the Malone bars do not. This creates an optical illusion where you think your car's roof is flat and the Malones are sagging. They are not. Your roof is rounded and the Malone aero bars are flat and level. These are holding up great on my Crosstrek, and I'm really glad I saved several hundred dollars not buying Thule or Yakima again.

I'm looking forward to putting my new2 Yakima Skybox 16 on my roof and am quite happy to have found the solution for less than half of what a name brand solution would have cost!

The Malone roof rack is simple and secure. It's more substantial than the factory cross pieces. The shipping was a little slow, perhaps due to the COVID-19; but when it arrived I had it installed within a half hour. I'm using the rack to haul kayaks.

Perfect, no issues. Initially I planned on taking the rack off the vehicle during the winter months however, I did not and the rack has held up incredibly well. Its still like new.

Very solid bars and hardware. Be careful when installing the end caps as I can see where it would be easy to mess them up. So far they've stayed in but their design could stand some improvement. There's only one point of contact that keeps them attached to the bars. The Malone bars were easy to install and sit a bit higher then the OEM aero Subaru bars that they replaced. There's no more noise from the Malone bars compared to the ones they replaced and there was no change in my MPG on the highway with no load on them. Make sure you install the rubber strip on the underside of the bars to reduce noise, it works! The Malone bars obviously offer a completely different carrying platform then the OEM aero bars did! I look forward to many years of use from them. Thanks etrailer!

Ordered this product for my 2019 Toyota Rav4 Trail with the raised rail from etrailer.com as they were the only site that would confirm a fit on my car. The turnaround time from ordering to delivery is impressively prompt. And the product itself speaks of quality and fitted perfectly on the Rav4. Installation took me less than half an hour and I was able to attach my two old bike racks on it and the bikes for the weekend. The product performed perfectly and looks just as great compared to the others out there that cost twice more. Kudos to Mackenzie B. of etrailer.com who answered my questions and addressed my concerns all throughout the process.

Ford Escape
First a kudos to Katherine B. at etrailer.com for being so helpful and knowledgeable about the roof rack I purchased for my Ford Escape. Installation took about an hour and is locked tight in place. The solid feel of the product gives me the confidence I was seeking to safely haul my canoe without issue. I'm very pleased with the finished product and it looks great too. The only issue I had was with one rubber cup piece that attaches to the unit. It keeps slipping down and does not fit tightly in place. A little Gorilla glue solved that problem quickly. I would like to recommend before putting the rubber strip on the underside of the rack, you leave it on the roof of the car on a warm sunny day to make it more malleable to fit the groove. With that done, I am very pleased. I will be doing a 500 + mile trip to the Adirondacks later this month with my canoe and grand-nephews for some camping and fishing and am anxious to see how the rack performs on a lengthy trip. Lastly, I must give etrailer a shout-out for the great deal I received. Comparable racks are many dollars more. Thanks etrailer.
Comments
Made the trip to the Adirondacks with the nephews without any issues. I will be planning another trip or two this summer and will be hauling the canoe and a kayak. Total weight of the two vessels is not an issue like the first rack I purchased.I recently checked for any movement in the cross-bars and it was as tight as when I installed it. I have great confidence in this item. If you install it right, you too should have smooth sailing. Thanks again etrailer.

Works as described. Great accessory to our vehicle. Be patient when putting on the caps. They seem not to fit and will pinch your finger if you try to force them on. So far seems very secure can not wait to get other accessories to put on it.

Audi Q7
Hard to believe it has been a year already. But now I can do a long term review of this roof rail system. It's a great product for the money no doubt, small amount of whistle can be heard but it makes less noise than my wife's Audi Q7 stock rails. Directions are clear on how to install and even though it takes more time than other styles to remove as long as you keep track of what strips you cut for each rail, you will be fine. End caps are kinda flimsy and I was worried about loosing them but if you run some electrical tape around them they will not come off till you remove the tape. Over all I would recommend for a sub $200 rack that will do its job!

Love this roof rack! I've owned two others before this one, and these are the best by far. Almost no noise while driving, even at freeway speed. Was unsure how the kayak mounts would fit because of the aro design, but they fit just fine. Really solid. Would recommend buying these to anyone.

Went on easy following instructions, also the end caps do lock in place, If you open them there's a little tab you have to press down on (I used a little screwdriver) as you slide it into the cross bar end the tab then locks into a little slot in the aluminum rails.

Hello, I am impressed with etrailer and the speed with which I received my Malone AirFlow2 roof bars. They look great and were easy to install, however, when I installed the roof bars, I am getting a horribly loud whistle starting at about 25-30 miles per hour and getting louder the faster I go. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? If not, I am afraid I am going to have to return the bars.
Comments
Some noise will be present but the whistling is most likely caused by a rubber strip not covering the whole channel. Also, be sure that the cross bars are level by moving them forward or backward but keeping them 700mm apart. You can also purchase a wind fairing: Item # Y05018

I have only test fitted on my Toyota Rav4, so I haven't used yet. I'm impressed with the quality and construction. I like the thickness & strength of the aluminum cross bars. Also like the quality of the rail clamps and built in locks. PLEASE NOTE: Before ordering the 50" cross bars, I did some carefully measuring on the factory roof rack on our 2007 Jeep Liberty Limited before ordering and found the 50" cross bars would also work on our Jeep's roof rack as well. You site recommended the 55" cross bars for our Jeep. I didn't want the extra overhang when using on the RAV4. I have attached photos of the cross sitting on the Jeep. They are not tighten down for use. Just sitting in place for a fitment check.

Really solid bars and equipment, especially for the price compared to the other big names on this site. Pros: Construction/Quality: Solid feeling bars, weather stripping is solid Fit: These bad boys snapped right into place and took very little effort to get lined up correctly Usability: Fit my 1UpUsa Bike rack with the flush mount option and my Yakima rack (see pics) Customer Service: Had a question while installing and customer service was on the line in <1minute Cons: Time: Took me about 2 hours to get everything done (messing with the flush mount rack bolts, adding in weather stripping Add-On Parts: End caps were hard to get in, had to go in just right, and the weather stripping on the bottom was very difficult to get in once the rack was on (as per directions) and the flush mount channels were a very tight fit with the stripping in there (I had to remove sections and cut them to fit the t-bolts in and then fit sections of rubber back in). The cold weather made these strips much less pliable I think) Overall: I really like these racks despite the difficulties with the installation (really with my flush mount system). Limited road noise even at 80, no bounce to the racks when loaded. I'd recommend these in a heartbeat (so far)

Overall I'm very happy since they are about 60% the cost of the name brand units. Price was really good. Fits my 2017 RAV4 with no problems. Nice that it extends over the roof rails so we can get larger things up there. I can fit two kayaks with the foam carrier things. I've also carried an old XCargo pod on top which is kind of a challenge since it only has the straps that usually go in the door jamb. The only reasons I don't give this 5 stars is that the item came with only three of the four locks. I had to call the manufacturer to get a new one. The one they sent has a different key than the other three, so I have to have two keys and the only difference on the locks is a tiny number that I can barely read. So it takes some effort to get them locked down. Also, the end caps don't fit tightly so they come off and the mounts can slide off when moving them. The mounts are fine once they are clamped to the roof rails. But it's kind of a pain.
Comments
The rack rails are still working great. Ive used them quite a few times and they are very easy to attach and remove. They do make some noise at highway speeds when I dont have anything attached so I just put them up when I need them.

The package arrived in good condition and everything fit together if the instructions are followed carefully, except the end caps. The left side end caps did not fully engage into the bar ends due to residual plastic from the molding process inside the grooves in the end pieces. I had to cut and file to clean out the pieces so they could be fully inserted into the end of the crossbar to engage the retaining clip. Given the global pandemic and raging wildfires here in California causing delivery re-routing, etrailer communicated and delivered the product as well as could be expected.
Comments
Limited pandemic travel but used them for local hauling.Worked great. Flat top and free ends make tie down much easier. Main difference between these and premium crossbars is that they must be adjusted each time they are removed and replaced.

Very solid well make cross brace may be the best value out there. Would prefer a wider & taller slot for the T bolts as I had to machine the T bolts from my BMW bike racks to fit the slot. The heavy duty rubber tube that goes in the T slot to reduce wind noise fills up the slot not allowing thick T bolt to slide thru. Otherwise you would need to cut the heavy tube into sections to fill spaces between the bolts but you wouldn't be able to slide the bike rack on the crossbars. I replaced the heavy duty tube w/ a thinner road bike inner tube allowing the T bolts to slide . After a test drive the inner tube started making noise at 40 mph compared to the heavy tube that made more noise at 30 mph . Guessing it's the small seam on the inner tube.
Comments
I have measured the Malone T-Slot accessories and for their items the T-slot has a thickness of 6 mm. It looks like your bike rack may have thicker T-slot mounting hardware. I did contact Malone and their recommendation is remove the rubber stripping their thicker ones and cut to fit around your bike rack mounting location as needed. This would allow you to mount your bike rack, and also reduce the area of potential wind noise.

This is a great value product. I was a bit discouraged by the pricing of similar name brand products. I took a chance on this brand, and have been very happy thus far. Assembly was a breeze and fit was perfect thanks to the fit guide offered by etrailer. Would highly recommend this roof rack system, especially for those unwilling to pay double (or more) for other brands that serve the same purpose.

I'm very happy with my most recent purchase of the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack, for my 2018 Subaru Forester. This product was probably the easiest roof system I have ever installed on a car. Did it myself in less than an hour, and it looks stylish on my car. etrailer, made sure my current Kayak holder would fit the Malone roof rack and it does, it's a great fit. I will continue to use etrailer for all my gear purchases, they have really set the bar high with their customer service.

- Most Secure Way to Transport Large Kayak on 2016 Toyota 4Runner With Malone Roof RackWhat you are looking for to secure your large kayak on your 2016 Toyota 4Runner is called a saddle-style kayak carrier. That type of carrier is the most secure way to secure a larger kayak because the kayak remains on its hull and not turned over, and we do have a great option. The Malone roof racks that fit your 2016 Toyota 4Runner with raised rails are the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 (58" crossbars) and # MPG215 (50" crossbars) so I assume one of these racks are what you have...

- Recommended Length of Malone Roof Rack for 2014 Ford Escape to Carry KayaksThat's a great question and you've clearly put a lot of thought into it. And for your 2014 Ford Escape with raised rails I highly recommend the 58 inch Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216. The reason I recommend the longer bars is because they make kayaks much easier to load, particularly two kayaks, because they will be closer to the edge of your vehicle, so you don't have to try and contour your body to lift the kayaks up while bending to maneuver them on the roof. Longer crossbars...

However, these are a confirmed fit for your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. It's designed to fit around raised rails, so the 50" isn't what fits on the rails. It's actually less than that. As long as the full 50" doesn't extend past your side mirrors (which it shouldn't) then this will be a good fit for you.

view full answer... - Will The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Be Able To Hold A Roof Top Tent?Yes, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars 50" # MPG215 will indeed be able to accommodate a roof top tent such as the Smittybilt Overlander. I do, however, recommend going with the slightly longer 58" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 as this would be a better option for large accessories such as a roof top tent. The weight capacity for the Malone AirFlow2 is 165lbs which is more than the weight of the Smittybilt Overlander according to the information I found. Both of these...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for 2021 Toyota Sienna with Side RailsThe Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG215 is what I recommend for a 2021 Toyota Sienna. It has aero crossbars for reduced wind noise, locks for security, and is one of the most cost effective options on the market. The bars can be positioned so they they provide enough hatch clearance for most cargo boxes. The 55" you said you needed won't be an issue.
view full answer... - What Attachments Can I Use For The Malone Airflow 2?If you're using the Malone AirFlow 2 # MPG215 you can use any T-Slot attachments from Malone like this Stax Pro2 # MPG115MD Kayak Carrier, and any wrap around accessories like this Pilot # MPG2103 bike rack, this cargo box # Y07337 or this basket # C18115-117. I've included videos for all of these items so you can see how they install and function!

view full answer... - Malone or Yakima Roof Rack Recommendation 2021 Toyota 4RunnerFor the money you really can't beat the Malone AirFlow 2 roof racks like the part # MPG215 that fits your 2021 Toyota 4Runner with raised roof rails. It's going to be more aerodynamic than the Yakima round bars and also comes with locks so if I were you I'd go with the Malone setup. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar 4Runner for you to check out as well. If you wanted to complete your Yakima rack you would just need the # Y03536 and the # Y00147.
view full answer... - Best Roof Rack For 2013 Lexus RX 350 With Factory Side RailsThere are several roof rack options that will fit your 2013 Lexus RX 350 with factory rails. The Malone Air Flow 2 Universal Roof Rack for Elevated, Factory Side Rails - Aero Style Load Bars - 50" Long # MPG215 that you mentioned is an excellent choice. Being 50" long, these will not hang over your factory roof rails more than an inch or two. To determine exact overhang, measure 50" wide across your roof and that will give you an idea of where the # MPG215 will be mounted. The 58" version...

- Will the Malone Roof Rack for a 2012 Subaru Forester with Rails Work With Most Crossbar AccessoriesThe Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG215 is an excellent option for a 2012 Subaru Forester and a confirmed fit for models with the factory raised side rails. The Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails part # C18118 is a really nice all black alternative. It as well attaches to the factory raised side rails. In regards to rooftop mounted accessories, they will either attach with wraparound clamps or the integrated channels assuming the carrier has this feature. I think what you are...
view full answer... - Comparing the 50 Inch and 58 Inch Long Malone AirFlow2 Roof Racks for a 2017 Subaru ForesterYes, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG215 and the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 will both fit the raised factory side rails on your 2017 Subaru Forester. The only difference between them is length as you alluded to, 50" long vs 58" long. The 58" long crossbar will have a slight decrease in aerodynamics as it is longer therefore more surface area for the wind to come into contact with but this is not anything that you would be able to notice. The best one for you really...

- Is Black The Only Color Option For A Inno Roof Rack On My 2017 Jeep Cherokee Sport?You can use the Inno roof rack system with your 2017 Jeep Cherokee Sport but there are only black rail options. I would recommend getting the Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB100-108 and the Inno Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS100.

view full answer... - Which Roof Rack Will Be Best To Use With A Tepui Tent On My 2020 Subaru Forester?First things first you want to make sure that your rack has a dynamic weight capacity of at least the weight of the tent. Seems like you have already done the research which is GREAT! The Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 will meet the requirements for the tent, but it is cutting it close. I always like to overcompensate weight capacity whenever loading up accessories especially with heavier items like a Tepui Rooftop Tent # TH8001ASK01. If you wanted to play it safe, you'll need a roof...
