Review on Roof bike rack THULE ProRide 598 aluminum by Boguslawa Fein ᠌

So in order. Bought these mounts last year. Operated spring, summer, autumn 2022. In winter they lay on the balcony. This spring, I found non-washable white spots, as well as rust spots on bike racks and rivets. Jammed curtains on the larvae of locks at 2 mounts. Therefore, dirt and moisture began to get there, as a result, they failed. But I could not change 2 larvae, because. no one selects the numbers and you have to buy a complete set, which costs about 5000. Thule guys, do you have a conscience? 12 larvae of Chinese castles shouldn't cost that much. Further, the dealer refused to consider the claim against the manufacturer, because They said that the terms of use of the product were violated. And how was I supposed to use them if I had them on the roof of the car in the spring and autumn and installed them in the store upon purchase? The question also remained unanswered. T-bolts, as the seller assured me, are galvanized and not subject to corrosion. However, after only a year of operation, I saw that corrosion had already begun on them. Everyone who writes that fuel consumption does not increase is lying. The trunk with bikes on the track adds 2-2.5 liters per 100 km. And just the trunk adds 0.7-1 liter in the urban cycle mode. Verified personally. Noise: don't believe anyone who says that thule trunk is not noisy. Everything that is taken out of the constructive of the car and is subject to air resistance during movement makes noise. And the noise is quite loud, especially after 80 km / h. But the most important thing that prompted me to write this review was the sale of the car and the attempt to install the entire kit on another car. The seller assured me that the trunk fits in 60-80% of cases on another car. So, this is not so. I had to change Kit and emphasis. As a result, I was forced to pay another 13,000. A total of 18,000 (trunk + locks) still went to Germany. That's how THULE got me hooked on their products. Do not fall for these tricks and buy something more modest so that you do not feel sorry for losing. Good luck to everyone on the road))
