## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Rack
*by L***M on December 1, 2012*

Good roof rack system, works exactly as desired and was purchased at a good price!The whole system comes together well, directions are strait forward and easy to follow. Once its all put together it looks good (Not even bothering to take it off the car (2011 Kia Sorento) when not in use, just leave it on there). Easily adjustable, and works great for the big 80lb 15ft+ kayak I got it for.My setup:Thule LB58 Roof Rack Load BarsThule 450 CrossRoad Railing Roof Rack Foot PackThule EC1 Load Bar End CapsThule 883 Glide and set Kayak mount.Couldnt be happier with the setup, although am considering getting the wind shield to put on the front (The square bars do make a little bit of whistling, but I accepted this when ordering the square vs the oval ones)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The combination with the Rigger and a home made roller is worth it
*by Y***L on September 7, 2015*

I bought this as an upgrade since we bought the Toyota Sequoia which is wider than my older Mercedes GL. I also ordered the Thule Outrigger which works nicely with the cross bar to load and unload our SUPs easier. The combination works very well. I offer a suggestion I did which also worked well with me. If you want kayaks or boards to roll easily over the cross bars and without scratching try this: Go to Home Depot and buy two 30-40" long (depending on the width of the car top) of 1.5" diameter PVC pipes and two-2" pipes of the same length. The 1.5" will fit inside the 2" pipe nicely and the cross bar will fit into the combination (through the 1.5" of course) very well. This will give you a very nice set of rollers for the two cross bars and if you buy the black color of pipes they will look very professional at a cost of less than $15. I tried so many commercial covers and rollers and nothing worked better than this home made one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for hauling multiple canoe/kayaks
*by L***Y on July 7, 2016*

Solid square load bar for kayak/canoes. It fits my 9.5 ft kayak along with my 14 canoe old town next to each other with additional space left over. It would not fit 2 kayaks and canoes flat. It does not stick out any further than mid part of side mirrors on my yukon. It is compatible with the load bar from thull. Only complaints that I noticed is that the coating is not very durable as I have a huge gash across one of the bars (not sure if from the rounded part of canoe bolt end or from combo of heat/pressure); also the rack will make a whirling noise when traveling on highways (55mph and up) which is very noticeable unless radio is on; I remove the racks during off seasons so it does not bother me at all but I can see when you may consider their additional part that blocks the wind for it from thull. I know some mentioned end caps may fall out but I have not had that issue although I put silicone (same stuff for plumbing or pool o rings) around the inside part to keep out moisture which may have helped that issue.
