I decided to buy these crossbars after reading previous reviews. I asked my local mechanic to install them as I didn't want to make a mistake and mess up the setup. He said everything he needed was in stock and it was easy to install. The only thing was that I had to walk up/down the stairs a lot. I have a Nissan Rogue with a sunroof and the cross members don't obstruct the view. Externally, the supplied side guides and the crossbeams do not differ. I haven't had to use crossbars yet. I hope the roof bag we have fits between the bars. It worked fine the first two times we tied it to the side rails but the last time it was very windy and it kept sliding down the side rails. At the third stop to get him back up we just decided to throw him in the back seat. Being able to attach it to the front/back rails would prevent it from slipping.
