High durability: roof rack

Very durable. They were easy to assemble and very easy to install on my tracker's racks. I was concerned about how much noise they would make when empty, but it wasn't that much. They can easily be removed for the rides that kayaks sadly don't do. The straps are ok, but I sometimes use the good old ratchet straps because I think they're stronger and because I like that. I give this item all five stars and I feel like I'll never have to buy another set again. At least until I buy more kayaks.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Everything is OK

Doesn't fit, they stink and have worse instructions.

I ordered these when choosing my car to make sure they would fit. They don't fit and we'll send them back. Also, they smell awful; like standing in a rubber tire factory. Also, the instructions are beyond useless. It's just a bad photo with dozens of lines and fine print. All you have to do is guess which screws, bolts and nuts are wearing out. The panels that attach to your rack are bare metal and will likely scratch it with every use. They are poorly made in China and most likely not suitable

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Security

SO GOOD for outdoor activities so far

I had no problems with assembly, the instructions were helpful compared to other reviews prior to this purchase. The instructions may have been updated. It took me 20 minutes to assemble them as I took my time with it. It's not easy to store them on the roof rack and then take them apart when they're done so I just leave them on the roof rack and take the roof rack off when not in use. I've used them twice on two 160 mile tours and the stays have stayed strong. Both of my kayaks didn't move at…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • So far so good

Good price and easy assembly/installation

I was skeptical after reading the reviews but for the price I gave it a try. I used an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts, the instructions were clear enough and assembly was fairly easy and straightforward. It took about 30 minutes to assemble and install my wife's 2018 Subaru Forester and it looks RAD now. Sturdy enough and works as advertised. The straps weren't big enough for my Sundolphin Excursion 12 ss so I bought others that fit better, no problem. Keeps my kayak at a good distance…

Pros
  • good item
Cons
  • so-so

Some improvements can be done by hand but it's still ok

I bought this with 52" CargoLoc bars (also here on Amazon). They don't match very well so I have I added a major improvement - I used a Renfrew hockey tape I had on hand to increase the contact and friction between the crossbars and the J-post HUGE improvement Most complaints here are valid The reassembly is quite difficult especially if you don't have the right tools they are quite strong although I wish the tube was a bit thicker the bolts for the pull handles are purposely long to prevent…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I only have half of the set. Misleading description and photos.

Read the one star reviews! I bought ONE set, not two as stated in the description. When I contacted Revain customer service they told me that as this was sold through a supplier there was nothing they could do other than refund my money and then I would have to order it again but then I would have to return the incomplete one that I have already received. Doesn't solve the problem if I get another incomplete set for it. The quality of the posts seems ok, not sure how they will hold up after…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • boring packaging

You'll get arthritis assembling these

At first the parts didn't fit well together I had to use a hammer to drive the center bolts through the bars and plastic and then it was really difficult To get the bolts to seat properly since the holes are countersunk I had to put a nut over the bolt and hit it really hard with a hammer to get it in place and some of them took a few tries and wasted much time. Another big time waster is packing nuts and bolts. I'm pretty sure this was designed by a masochist. Be prepared to spend up to half…

Pros
  • handy items
Cons
  • There are new competitors

Don't use straps or for some SUPs

Decent value for money but straps are almost useless - DO NOT use them. Buy something better/longer. Also, I read about using these joysticks for SUP. I have tried it and would NOT recommend it for long trips or for less hard or long (+10ft) SUPs. We lost our 6 hour drive to the beach. Luckily nobody was behind us. SUPs are simply not suitable for long tours like kayaks. Short slow drives should be fine, but we lost ours when he decided to be a 65mph kite. 2 or 4, we have 3. The one who does…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Negative

Warning/Informative Test GMC SUV

Easy to assemble and install, about the same in rating. I mean the whole build/install process took just over an hour. In doing so, I made several mistakes. It is not easy. It's not 1,2,3. It's more like "Damn, oh, okay, I get it this time." GMC WARNING: The crossbars (that's what you're going to attach these racks to) on my GMC are flexible and slightly curved. These kayak holders will fit this type of GMC pole BUT they will not mount/sit perfectly straight. I didn't seem to have any problems…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Faulty
