Exceeds my expectations

These are great cross-bars at an unbelievable price. They are well made and super easy to install, compared to my T**** rack. I didn't have high expectations considering the low price, but T**** was so overpriced ($200) thought I would try these. They look great on my Mercedes SUV and are of very high quality. I am very impressed with them and my T**** bike carrier fits fine on them.

Pros
  • Good rack. A little trick to ensure everything is right but worked well for an 800 mile trip.
Cons
  • They stripped and broke on the fist use.

Great for price: my feedback

It's a really good rack for the price. Universal fit makes it easy to put on and bars feel heavy and strong. Only problem is the whistling it does every now and then, but turn the radio on and you won't notice it.

Pros
  • ok
Cons
  • The bars may not be compatible with vehicles with flimsy or weak side rails, potentially causing damage to the vehicle

Solid, easy on easy off

These are not expensive compared with the "famous name brand," let alone any auto manufacturer's OEM bars. It took maybe 10 minutes to set the widths to match our car. Putting them on or taking them off takes even less time. What more could you ask?

Pros
  • Fits my GMC really well!
Cons
  • The maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds is relatively low compared to other roof bars on the market

Great rails, great price!

Just got these today and installed them. They fit really well and tighten down fairly easily on the side without the lock. The side with the lock doesn't really have a good way for you to grip it so tightening it was a bit of a challenge. After driving around with them today, both in the city and on the highway, I haven't been able to hear any whistling even with no music on or AC. They haven't slid at all and seem fairly sturdy, although the paperwork that it came with stated that they are…

Pros
  • Easily installed and secure! Husband was really happy how easy it was to do!
Cons
  • The bars may cause wind noise and drag while driving, potentially affecting fuel efficiency

Perfect for my use, in spite of the HOWL.

So after reading the reviews, I thought, how loud could these possibly be? OMG! 45mph and it was incredible! Howling harmonics! It's caused by the adjusting track underneath. It does not go the entire bar length, just a couple inches either side of the mount. A little strip if gorilla tape completely solved the issue. The manufacturer should include a plastic trim piece for the gap. Otherwise, this seems to be a good quality product and very easy to install. I'll be using it to hold a large…

Pros
  • Sturdy and Durable - Made from high-quality materials, this roof bar is strong enough to carry heavy loads and is built to last. You can rely on it for long-term use, even in harsh weather conditions
Cons
  • The bars may make it more difficult to park or enter garages or other low-clearance structures

Great Product- Great Service

Great looking black cross bars. easy to install. sturdy. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Company backs their product. That's my review.

Pros
  • Works perfectly as billed. I have a Kia Sorrento and its rock secure!
Cons
  • The bars may not fit flush with some vehicles, resulting in a less secure attachment

LOVE THESE, GREAT VALUE

We purchased these for our 2012 Dodge Journey. We run a window cleaning business and needed to be able to haul a 25' extension ladder along with our other 2 ladders. These bars are easily attached and removed from our vehicle, with very little effort. They are extremely durable and strong.If I could change anything, it would be that they were powder coated, instead of just painted.

Pros
  • Cargo Racks
Cons
  • The bars may not be suitable for use with certain types of cargo or equipment, limiting their versatility

Great for the money

Fit my 2008 Liberty. Nothing fancy, just a basic set of crossbars at a reasonable price. Note, contour of clamps are for triangular side bars, not sure how well they would fit round or square. First set were missing the keys so 4 stars. Great Ebay support had a replacement on the way in no time.

Pros
  • Cargo cross-bars designed to work with existing vehicle roof side rails (maximum 150 lb. capacity)
Cons
  • The bars may not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty if they are damaged during transit or loading and unloading

Perfect fit! Can't even tell they are there while driving.

These fit perfectly on my 2011 Honda Pilot, my roof rails are 49 inches apart. Some of the reviews state that they "whistle" while you are driving, but I have not experienced that. We drove 2 hours away going 85-90 and honestly couldn't even tell they were there. I am very happy with these and would but them again if I ever needed another set.

Pros
  • Solid and fits well. Grips snugly. Easy installation. No problems to be seen.
Cons
  • The bars may obstruct or interfere with the opening and closing of sunroofs or roof-mounted accessories

I am a contractor and i love them, the price cannot be beat.

Awesome, super easy install. unlock them first with the keys provided then even them up, tighten them down, lock'em and your done. I use them to hold 2 ladders on my jeep grand cherokee.

Pros
  • Roof side rails must be from 1" to 1-7/8"W and between 38" to 49" apart
Cons
  • The bars may not be suitable for use with vehicles with specialized or non-standard roof configurations

Nice, well made product

Nice, well made product. Much cheaper than alternatives. Fits a 2013 Ford Escape with OEM side rails. Only complaint is the tumblers are a bit on the cheap side and can come out while locking/unlocking. I would buy these again.

Pros
  • Ensure the cross-bars are placed at least 28.5" apart for proper cargo balance
Cons
  • The bars may interfere with the placement of antennas or other roof-mounted accessories
