Great buy!! |
|
My husband and I purchased this item before going on vacation. Arrived very fast! Item as described!! Very reasonably price!!! Very easy to assemble and to put on top of car!! We used this rack to travel over 1000 miles and never had a problem. We have a 2008 Mazda 5 with no racks on top and this one worked great! We used the waterproof bag with this and they both worked very well together! This rack is well made when we strapped this rack down it wouldn't budge!! The only complaint that I have(and maybe there is a reason for it) is the four bottom rubber shoes are not attached to the rack itself but, this can be easily fixed! Before you put the rack on the top of a car you should really attach them so you do not loose them. (one person suggested using socks to help keep them in place) Other then that it was well worth the money and our kids were very happy because, they had plenty of room inside the car and were able to be comfortable. Great investment especially for families with children who travel!! Also great because, we will have it for future trips!!! |

I'm sure it was good, but didn't fit on my car |

I bought this for my boyfriends '02 Jetta, and it was too big. We couldn't find a way to take the antenna off (like it shows on the pic on the box). We tried putting it on with the antenna, and it just sat too far forward that we didn't feel that it would be safe to drive. It looked like it was a really good product, but we couldn't get the antenna off of the car to make it work. One of my friends has one on her mini van and LOVES it! |

Needs a Little Help |
|
Spent last night assemblying and mounting the rack to my 2004 Camry sedan. The gutter hooks that attach to the inner door frame kept slipping off if you pressed on them from the wrong angle. I think I solved this problem by inserting cardboard wedges between the roof of the car and the upper end of each gutter hook. That seems to allow the hooks to keep a good grip. This rack could be a DEADLY (!!!) accessory to your car if just one of these hooks slips off and the rack and all your luggage goes flying into the path of a trailing car. It's a little scary that four pieces of cardboard are the only items precluding such a tragedy. Tomorrow we'll head for the beach and see what happens. |

What I expected |
Great carrier for the price. It made a 1000 mile trip in winter weather from Minnesota to Pennsylvania. Have also used it for hauling cabinets and lumber.
A random note: Spacing of the bottom bars is perfect for hauling standard decking boards.
Leaks can be a problem during heavy rain. Doesn't fit the contour of the 2009 Elantra perfectly, but well enough. |

Solid performance |

I was a little skeptical as to how an 800 mile journey across the southwest with a removable roof top carrier would work out. This thing stayed on with a large heavy highland bag. We drove through Arizona where there were 65-75 mph head/cross winds hitting us directly. This carrier stayed on and was very stable. The only thing was that the straps came loose a couple of times. I eventually tightened them all as much as possible and duct taped the excess strap and there wasn't a problem after that with them coming loose. Also the feet were difficult to be placed completely flush with the roof and the bottom rubber shoes kept coming loose. But as for this thing working in the condition it did, I recommend it, because that was almost worse case scenario and I made it. Assembly was easy also. The frame is very sturdy. |
