Review on Universal SUV Car Top Luggage Holder With Extension - XCAR Roof Rack Carrier Basket Rooftop Cargo Carrier, Black, 64"X 39"X 6 by Anthony Hicks

We are SO happy we decided to purchase this roof rack. FYI: it does require crossbars, which I didn’t know when we purchased it. But! It’s so much larger than we had anticipated, and made our move out of state with the last dregs of our things so much easier. We fit a large 2’x4’ box, two standard coolers, and some other smaller boxes and bags up there, along with a 42” flat-folded dog crate. We did use a net over the top to secure everything, and a ratchet strap to keep the crate in place. It worked like a charm. The roof rack is ultra sturdy and easy to put together.My two complaints are that, while assembling the rack itself, we did have issues with one of the snap-on side plates not lining up re: holes for the screws. Several of the screw holes on the plates were slightly off, but not so badly that you couldn’t make the screws sink properly with some finagling. But the last plate I tried to put on, we could only get the bottom screw in, because the top hole was so off, there was no way to fit the screw properly.Secondly, affixing the clamps that keep the rack on the crossbars was insanely difficult, trying to manage the tiny washer and the clamp while screwing on the knobs. We got it on eventually, with a lot of swearing and rearranging of the ladder we were using to get up there.However, I will say, this puppy performed really well on our 9hr drive to our new place. It kept everything secure, didn’t bend from the weight, and was really wonderful to have. We will absolutely be enjoying this for trips for years to come!Five stars for quality and versatility, -1 stars for the difficulty of installation and screw hole issues. But! We would absolutely buy this again.
