Toyota RAV4 Prinsu Roof Rack Complete Install! (2019 And Up)

[@wadeduvall7026]

This is a good but slightly unsettling reminder I forgot to paint when I did rivnuts on my bed (for rack). It's probably okay but I should drill them out and reinstall this summer.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yeah if you live in a wet climate I'd suggest doing that at some point.

[@wadeduvall7026]

@@JasonExplainsThings They salt the roads here, should be enough to push me to do it. I think 1 year is okay, but not many years.

Much love for my fellow WASHINGTONIAN Utube Video Makers! 🖖

Wow, installing their rack on the Tacoma is a million times easier. lol Great instruction gang :)

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Totally! 4Runner is way easier also. But it’s doable. 👍

My prinsu pro arrives this week!! I've watched a bunch of videos in preparation for its arrival, but this one was really helpful. I dropped the headliner yesterday to install a dash cam and removed the oem rack while I was in there. Turns out that the Hybrid Woodland has an entirely different rack and bolt system!! Thanks for the tip on the A-pillar clips!! Needle nose worked like a charm!

[@Dan-zz7yr]

Loving all the DIY install videos lately, keep up the good work 👍

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Thanks Dan! I’ll keep on keepin’ on.

[@CaptainClutchCameron]

Best video I have found for this install. Nice job guys!

Thanks! Check out the discount code if you need to get one.

Looks great 👍😁

Thanks Dave.

[@joshpyszczynski6230]

Appreciate the added info on install made it super easy

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I'm happy to hear that! It can be tricky so I wanted to show all the pitfalls.

[@RackStarzColoradoSprings]

Much better than the Prinsu video

Is there something that can be installed in the channel to keep the water from pooling?

[@LuisGonzalez-tr7os]

I noticed you guys have a sunroof. Does yours tilt? If so, does the roof rack interfere with the tilt?

[@jonhartman2726]

Any leaks so far? And what type of paint did you use to prevent rust?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

No leaks. But Michael applied extra silicone. We used automotive touch up paint.

[@True77]

So far, no leaks! But yes, I used extra silicone just to be safe and added flex tape over the mounting bolts as an extra measure to keep water away.

[@eddywiththeflix]

What year is the Rav 4? I’m not sure if I missed you saying it in the video. I have a 2022 I’d like to put a rack on

[@JasonExplainsThings]

They there. This is for any 2019 and up Rav4. I believe Michael's was a 2019. Thanks!

@@JasonExplainsThings Hello, I just tried to take off my factory flush roof rails. There are NO holes other than the 4 you have to get under the headliner for... what gives

[@1wood101]

Looks great! What kind of loads can it handle vs. the stock rails. I didn't realize the stock rails were so flimsy!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Prinsu says the weight limit is 400 lbs while moving, 800 lbs static (2 people sleeping in a roof tent for example). So... more than enough for any reasonable use! :-)

[@1wood101]

@@JasonExplainsThings Plus it's gettin away from the Grandma look of the stock. Haha

[@kaiminalualan7138]

Did you notice a change in your mpg on the rav4

[@Alemensch]

Is it possible to achieve the install without removing the door seals?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

No, but that part isn't bad. They aren't glued in place. But... putting the interior parts back on (especially the A-Pillar trim that covers an air bag) are a little tricky.

[@Cod4life640]

Just installed this rack on my 2023 Rav4 and noticed the first crossbar is vibrating like crazy when above speeds of 55mph. Any suggestions to fix the vibration?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Michael had to lower the wind deflector down one notch because of that issue.

[@kaiminalualan7138]

Any noticeable change in mpg after the rack install?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

No. I don't believe so. There will be a little bit of additional wind noise.

[@collera05]

Can i have those bolts? 4:00 😂 that's the one i needed for my 2023 rav4 le. 😅stupid toyota remove the option to install crossbars for 2022-2023 rav4 Le. 😅

[@coffeeblood]

I just did mine. Pay for shipping and they're all yours!

[@nobodyimportant7520]

NO THANKS. about to get a rav4 BUT i am NOT about to DRILL into it.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

You just widen 2 existing holes, but to each their own. 👍
