Review on Roof Rack Cross Bars For Toyota Highlander 2008-2013, Aluminum Luggage Rail Racks, Cargo Carrier Bars by Deandre Vogt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Instructions terrible but install fine

Received these bars yesterday. Fortunately I had read about video in another post re removing rail caps and did no with no problem or breakage. The directions with bars are horrible but if you have some mechanical ability you can assemble. Bothered me a little that a number of extra screws and washers were included but found they were not needed. Another tip I found useful was to use bar soap to lubricate the roof rails to make sliding the product in place easier. The bars appear to be very sturdy and look fine and think they will suit my needs to haul a kayak on my 2010 Highlander. One addition I am going to make is to install stainless lock washers underneath the twisting knobs as I know from a previous vehicle the knobs can work loose and rattle

Pros
  • Mechanical design: The roof rack conforms to the mechanical design and has an arc-shaped structure, which makes the roof rack have stronger bearing capacity and can avoid deformation. After the cross bars is installed, it will not hinder the normal use of the car sunroof
Cons
  • The bars may be too tall for certain parking garages or low-hanging obstacles
