Review on Apex 53-71 Adjustable Pickup Truck Headache Rack Window Guard by Richard Koh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for light/medium duty. Handyman or property manager? You'll love it.

This is a great light/medium duty rack. It is sturdy, well built and solid once installed and tightened up. I live in Oregon, so this rack was installed in the rain, and the rain has been fairly consistent for the past month. That being said, I see a little of the rust issue that other reviews comment about. The rust areas are small, and I will shoot a little spray paint on the areas once things dry up and I can clean the trouble spots. I have gotten a lot of positive comments about the rack and it works great. I left the extension in my garage and bought 1 1/2" plastic inserts for the open tube ends to keep the rain from rusting the rack from the inside out. If you have a full-size truck, you will have a gap in the expanded metal at the center, but there will be 3 sections of tubing that span the gap so your cab is still protected from large items shifting.

Pros
  • Outstanding and well made too.
Cons
  • The rack can interfere with the visibility of the driver, especially if the cargo is tall or bulky.
