Great Quality at an Affordable Price
I was initially looking for a roof rack mounting system, but at $300+, I couldn't justify it just yet. Once I came across this item, I was skeptical at first, as I read mixed reviews, and then the much lower price than most other systems. Also, I'm using this on a 2007 Nissan Sentra.
However, after having owed this for a couple months now, I can safely say my doubts are gone! I've used it about a dozen times for short in town trips, but the real kicker was my most recent trip home. I still had one bike at my parents’ house in SE Wisconsin that I wanted with me, near Nashville, TN. To be honest, I had my reservations about using this over 600 miles at highway speeds. Turns out my fear was for naught! Thankfully!
The directions are very clear on how to tie off the main supports as an added security measure. I also saw that another reviewer had wrapped the metal latches with electrical tape to prevent scratching. I followed suit, and so far I have none. The only thing to be careful of (and they have red warning stickers pointing this out) is when you put the silver colored wire struts in place BE CAREFUL! You can easily pinch your fingers.
Again, this is a fantastic product, and great bang for your buck! I highly recommend. Also, this isn't a verified purchase because I bought it through Wally World, not Amazon.
