My kayak hasn't fallen off my car yet so I'd say this works great! Straps are little thin (like not that wide) and I thought that would be an issue but it is not and I have a big boat and a little car

Have used these racks a number of times in past two months. Easy to put onto roof and take off. An inexpensive alternative to thules, in a pinch. Haven't hauled anything very heavy [some pallets], but racks seem sturdy enough.The major flaw is the rubber cap on the feet of the racks. They come off easily and yesterday I lost one. So far, I cannot locate replacement parts. If I am unable to, I recommend AGAINST buying these racks.Without the cap, the rack is useless.Or...immediately glue the caps onto the feet before first use.Until yesterday, though, I was really happy with them. Too bad.

I still have yet to do a long distance trip with it but shorter trips have been great so far for transporting my boat.

Tengo un coche sin rack para tablas, y antes tenía los soft racks de siempre, los que por más que los amarres hacen ruidos y dañan las tablas... Estos realmente sorprendieron, se amarra la tabla de una forma sólida, sin movimiento... Maneje por 3 horas a no más de 120, y sin ruido. Vale la pena, por lo menos para llevar tablas de surf. Viene con los straps, y otras cuerdas imagino para amarrar kayaks.

These are good enough for hauling heavy oak slabs on the roof of a Honda Accord. They're plenty strong for lumber hauling. Don't leave them on your car when it rains. The nylon straps impede the door seals and they will leak. That's not a flaw. It's just something that's inherent and unavoidable with this sort of design. Fortunately, they're secured with ratchet straps so it's quick and easy to remove and replace them whenever. The price is right and they're absolutely good enough for my purposes.

I've had this rack for going on a year. It carries my fishing kayak on a Hyundai Elantra and so far has been rock solid. It's true the felt socks want to come off, but I've duct-taped them around and always check to see they're down flat on the roof so that the weight holds them on, and then watch them well when I'm carrying them to put on or take off and put away. They're super easy to put on and take off. Before I assembled them for the first time, I cut two sections of pvc pipe to fit over the rails so that they'll roll the kayak, a borrowed idea. I have a routine for getting the kayak up on the roof. After putting on the rack, I put two old bathroom rugs with their rubberish backs on the hood to keep from scratching the paint, and then lift the nose of the kayak up onto the hood, which is not too high for even an elderly person like me to do it unassisted. From there I get behind and gently and slowly push the kayak up over the windshield onto the first roller. From there it's easy, the boat just rolls back onto the second pipe, and I'm able to bungee-cord it down onto front and rear bumpers, and we're on our way. Taking it off is the reverse except that sometimes one is on a sloped boat ramp and the first time I thought the boat might get away from me and crash down to the concrete. The use of a cart to take it off on flat ground and move it to the ramp is an option, but I've not found that to be necessary. The little speed it picks up just makes it easier to take it off (and the opposite getting it back up again against gravity, but that also has not proven beyond me). This rack makes it possible to turn a sedan into an SUV but with less gas and lower payment. Has made for many pleasant days.

Pros:-It's a universal rack. Very practical and affordable compared to permanent options that require more hardware for your specific vehicle.Cons:-Poor build quality (for the one I got. Your mileage may vary)- it will wear and otherwise permanently damage the weather stripping on your doors if used for any extended length of time-likely to put dents in your roof unless strategically placed-dangly wratchet straps in your headspaceDetails:Before I start, I'd like to emphasize that this is a very useful and affordable option as far as universal roof racks go. Also I was completely aware of the downside of having wratchet straps in my car's headspace before getting these, and I can't think of how that could be avoided considering the circumstances.That aside, the reason that I didn't give this rack 5 stars is because,1. the holes drilled in the front rack bar were not properly aligned, resulting in one of the feet always being angled upward unless I crank the ever-loving poopoo out of the strap to suck it down. Even then it's not completely flush with the roof.2. My package wasn't taped up enough so the screws fell out in-transit. I was able to get some more from my local hardware store, but still annoying.I'm about to take these on a 3000 mile trip with ladders strapped to them, and will update the review if anything breaks or doesn't survive the trip. If this is where the review ends, then they survived and I'm likely still using them.

I like the roof racks and they are being installed without too much confusion on my part. The delivery was a bit slow by a few days. If you want a medium duty roof rack for a light duty vehicle, this might be for you.

I wanted to love this. I have a naked roof surface on my vehicle so this was appealing so I wouldn't have to fool around with installing a REAL roof rack. The price seemed right and looked relatively low tech to use so I gave this a try. I was planning to use it to haul a 40LB duffle bag tent on top, but I don't think I would even trust this flimsy and cheaply made "rack" to hold even that. The most troubling components were the feet/towers that are supposed to hold the bars in place. They were made hollowed out, and the pads (which sit directly atop your roof) were sooo thin; think like a flexible silicone type material. I could easily cut any part of feet/towers with an exact-o knife. No thank you, this thing seems dangerous. If you have a naked roof you'd be much better off taking the time to track down an old Yamika roof rack (from the 90s?) - plenty of them still around on the second hand market (Re-rack, Facebook Market Place, Craigslist). Purchase 1. Q-Towers (to hold the bars in place) 2. Round bars (they come in 48-66" sizes mostly, you can easily cut down to the width you want). 3. Clamps - you can go on Yamika.com to put your vehicle model in and the website will tell you which size you need. Again, you can get the clips from Amazon/Ebay/Re-rack, etc.). Don't bother with this "China Cheapie".
