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 Nick Kirschenmann

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great. Seems sturdy. Easy to install.

This is exactly what I was (you are) looking for. Seems to be a solid cargo basket, except for the space between the metal extension and the front and back sections. I wouldn’t put any weight directly in the gap. The directions are very simple to follow, but I did use my own Allen tool since this came with a cheap Allen that stripped on the first bolt. Mind the 150 pound weight capacity of this cheaper version. If your car has factory installed roof mounts be aware that it probably isn’t far enough apart to give you the most perfect support. But it fit onto my RAV4 adventure almost perfectly. It looks great and Instead of buying one with a logo on it, I’ll be buying a sticker to put on the front that fits my style. I’ve attached some pictures for you to feel a little more comfortable about it. The most negative feedback I could give, is that it makes a ton of wind noise if you plan on keeping it on your daily driver.NOTE: For the wind deflector, make sure that you put the clips on the right side, and in the right direction. There are three for the bottom which are a larger diameter, and three for the top which are a smaller diameter. The directions don’t specify this and if you start screwing in you’ll have to take it all apart to fix it. To that point, make sure that the side of the clips with the holes are on the backside to hold the nut in place while you tighten the wind deflector down. See photos.
