Review on πŸš— Thule Roof Rack System Fit Kit: Streamline Your Vehicle's Roof Storage by Andrew Gomez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Security is worth the money

I bought this kit with the 480 truss pack and LB50 roof bars. The picture instructions are a bit archaic in my opinion, but probably save a lot of paper for multilingual instructions. Be sure to go through all the instructions along with identifying all the parts and see how they fit together before getting in the car. This kit fits the Dodge Neon and has clips that slide along the rib along the roof over which the doors close. The rubber seal slides off the rib and slides back onto the clamps very nicely. The rubber pads match the rooflines well, and the roof is firm where they pop up for installing the legs. The kit includes allen wrenches with a T-handle that acts as a torque indicator - if the center is off, the fasteners will be tightened properly and the mount will be very strong and secure. I have towed two kayaks a few hundred miles on this carrier with no problem. When the stand is not in use it only takes a few minutes to undo the fasteners and remove the stand, leaving the chassis clips in place as they are almost invisible on their own. Very good technique and does not harm the car in any way.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Periodicity
