Review on Yakima Anchor Strap Kit: Ultimate Vehicle Mounting System for Secure Cargo Transport by Cho Screeton

I am disappointed. AFTER ONE USE one of these things started to tear. I had a different set inserted temporarily each time. I didn't like them because they didn't seem reliable so I thought they would be great since they bolt into the car under the hood. Well, the old ones never showed any signs of wear. It's terrible that this one started to tear after one use. In both versions I used harnesses, not ropes. Now I will start using ropes with them. Either way, it's better for forward visibility, and hopefully that tether will hold up and not break further.
