Reading reviews it kind of scared me to put my kayak on the crossbars when someone stated that they lost theirs and scratched the car. I think it was user error. If you do not install them exactly how the instructions state to, you may have problems. It is very important to know that one bar is bigger then the other. The long bar goes on the front and the short bar goes in the back. Once you install them, do not put anything on it for a week because they will break in and loosen up. So keep that Allen wrench handy and after a week do a second tightening. After that, you should be good to go. I always check the crossbars, every time I put anything on it, to make sure they are secured.
