Great product at a great price
For an inexpensive roof rack, this one is lasted very well. We use it on two different vehicles over the course of about three years. It’s still holding up and working well.

Wonderful
What a great roof cage for this price point. Assembly was pretty easy and the instructions were great. I put on a bronco sport and love the look. Not a super tall cage but perfect additional storage. Did not notice any noise from this rack and didn’t seem to affect gas mileage. Overall extremely happy with this cage.

Great With Some Mods
First off, I paid about $150 for this rack (Amazon Warehouse), and I wouldn't pay more. I have it mounted on a 2015 Subaru Forester and it fits great but does bend the antenna back a little. Doesn't bother me, but it might bother you. I live in Colorado where it's pretty dry, but unless you live in the middle of the Mojave Desert this rack WILL rust...unless you do the following:The first thing I did was get rid of most of the hardware that came with this rack. It's mostly junk. I instead put it together with M6 x 1.00 Hex Key Socket Head Cap Screws (that's how they're listed on Amazon by Inline Designs...but they're actually bolts) matched with 1/4" lock washers and M6 x 1mm Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nuts from uxcell....ALL 316 STAINLESS STEEL. There are other stainless options, but I like the look of the hex key "socket heads".When I assembled the rack, I used shrink tubing to somewhat reinforce the spaces left between the interior bars, which works for my purposes (cargo bag), but at some point I'll replace those with either pvc or metal sleeves. After the rack was completely assembled, I caulked every single seam and bolt with Red Devil 078060 StormGuard 920 100% RTV Silicone Sealant (Black). I let that cure overnight, then began spraying several coats of Rust-Oleum 300607 Stops Rust Hammered spray paint in Matte Black. As you can see, it's more of a gray than black, but I knew that in advance and wanted it to match the color of the car. I also love the "hammered" look, and this particular product doesn't need primer. Choose whatever color suits you.The only original hardware I did use was when mounting the rack to the car, I used the original u-bolts, except instead of using the included knobs I opted for the aforementioned lock washers and nylon lock nuts. It mounted great to my aftermarket rails and Apex RB-1004-49 Universal Side Rail Mounted Crossbars. The last step was security, and I just used a couple Sanwo Security Bike Lock 4 Digit Resettable Combination Cable Lock for Bicycle, 2 Feet x 1/2 Inch, one on each side.I installed the rack in Spring of last year (2021) and we had a very busy travel year. We made road trips both with and without the CURT 18221 Extended Roof Rack Cargo Bag, which fits perfectly in the rack and holds a ton of gear giving my dogs space to move around in the back of the car. I easily exceeded the 150 lb limit, but of course I can't suggest you do that. There is some increased wind noise, but not too bad. You will also sacrifice some mpg, especially over 65 mph, even with just a bare rack. If you're not going to be using it on a long road trip, I suggest you leave it at home.I posted some pics of it after assembly, and the rack on the car, and some destinations. It obviously holds up well and we had absolutely zero problems with it as we traveled to and through the following states: Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Kansas. We traveled through all kinds of weather, carried a ton of gear, took the cargo bag on and off several times....and not a spot of rust.

versatile in that you can extend or shorten; easy quick assembly
Exactly as I wanted and ordered. It assembled very easily and quickly. I love the fact you can add or remove the center section according to your needs.

Easy to install and holds up awesome over time
This is a awesome rackIt's haulled everything from hay bales to 50lb feed bags. It's super easy to modify and I set it up with work lights for working at night and playing in the desert. I've had this rack for over 5 years now and both have and will again recommend to a friends.

Buy this rack! Value and quality are on point!!!
Great cargo roof rack and mounted perfectly! It was delivered and functions as advertised!For the money you CAN’T beat the cost and value of the cargo roof rack. Great size! Very sturdy! Mounts and hardware are well built!

Doesn’t line up with all roof rail configurations
Doesn’t work well with 2023 Pathfinder. Unfortunately, my Pathfinder’s roof rails are not adjustable and the cargo rack doesn’t line up well unless I mount it way forward on the vehicle

Affordable roof rack
Great price and quality. I did spray the metal with anti rust since I knew I wasn’t going to remove it and I’m glad I did. It still looks brand new and it’s come in handy for road trips. It took a little while to get it set up on the roof of my 4Runner but once on, it looked great. I highly recommend having a friend help on roof installation.
