They get the job done without much trouble.

Be honest, many of us bought them for the price. We knew what to expect so I can't help but point out a few things I don't like about this product. It holds my two kayaks on the roof rack like it should. Assembly isn't difficult, but you'll need to have a few tools on hand. Before you finish, double check that the screws are fully seated. You may have trouble getting the screws into their holes through the rubber bumpers, so be prepared to take your time. I had to use a hammer and punch on my longest screws. Some of the holes aren't the cleanest and you may have to put a screw through the hole to avoid damaging it. When installing, lightly tighten one knurled nut, then do the same with the other. Tighten each evenly. Check this setting before each use. This week I unscrewed two nuts. If you leave it attached to your car over the summer, check it weekly to make sure it isn't falling off. We have Perception Swifty 9.5 Deluxe and Old Town Angler 10 Deluxe. Both fit well considering the Old Town is a deeper kayak. The included straps work well and are long enough to go around my wife's kayak and roof pole for added security. They barely cover my old town so I just tethered straight to J Rack and haven't lost my kayak yet. Again, they're fine, just get in the habit of checking them often to make sure your nuts are tight. .

Pros
  • Crossbars thicker than 1" or wider than 2.5" will not install properly, round or oval crossbars will not fit. Pay attention
Cons
  • Almost never
