BRIGHTLINES Roof Rack Crossbars for 2018-2024 Buick Enclave, Anti-Theft | Premium Aluminum, Heavy Duty Solid Construction, Lockable Cross Bars Set, T-Slot, Sporty Low Profile, for Kayak Ski Carrier

I was very happy with this purchase. The racks are very sturdy and fit very well with the included hardware and custom fit brackets to fit in the gm fixed mounting bracket screw location.Hi Natalie is fairly easy, but make sure you test fit all parts before torquing down the screws and bracket.The hardest part is centering the rails and removing the threaded plastic screw covers on the rails. Instructions are very poor so if you are not somewhat tecnicallly inclined, plan to have a friend who is help you. Having 2 people can help expedite as well.

These do take some time to install, but I didn’t find them difficult at all. I started by removing caps on roof rails (bend round part upward and you can unscrew by hand or will plyers), then loosely attached the racks to the roof, adjusted them so they had the same overhang on each side, then tightened the screws, tightened the screw inside the racks, replaced the locks, put the end caps on, measured to the outer edge of the snap in part (there is a hole in the wind guards for it), then cut the wind guard to size with tin snips and removed end caps, installed wind guards/end caps at the same time.So far they seem very sturdy, look awesome and no noise on the highway!

For late model Buick Enclave, need to add instruction6a: Use provided screws (8) to attached roof rack rails to vehicle side rails, using factory mounting locations, with an Allen wrench, (not provided).

This fits my 2024 Enclave, but the sunroof won't open with it installed. I was waiting for the $300 factory rack, but it is on backorder so I took a chance with this. It is as good or better quality than my GM-supplied rack for my old car, but that had risers high enough to allow for sunroof operation. The bars are strong and the mount seems secure. I wound up ordering a different model because I want to be able to open the sunroof without bothering to remove the rack, but if the other model is flimsy and I can't fix it by using my old risers with the new bars (tossing the new risers if they are bad), I will go back to this. If you don't have or use a sunroof, this is a great choice.

I thought they were high quality and worth the money. Easy to install and use. They fit a ‘20 Buick Enclave well.

We have a new 2023 Buick Enclave with the Premium trim. I chose these cross rails because I was concerned about the height of the Buick cross rails which seemed to stick up excessively high for my taste.Pros:+ fits pre-drilled holes for the roof rack on the 2023 Buick Enclave+ low profile design rides lower to the vehicle (about 2.5" of clearance between roof and cross rails)+ sleek design which barely protrudes off the side of the roof (roughly 1"-2" past the mounting brackets).Cons:- installation instructions were not useless, but they were close to it; limited words and poor illustrations left me repeating a couple of steps to figure it out myself- installation difficulty: the mounting brackets seem to have excessive material in the base, which kept the bracket holes too high above the car's holes. To get the holes to line up, I had my 125-pound child sit on the end of the rail to apply enough downward force to line up each hole (for reference, I am 6'2" and 200# and had difficulty applying enough force on my own while inserting the bolts); amidst this awkward setup applying enough downward force, I got each bolt screwed in. In the picture with the close-up of the bracket, I pointed out where I feel there is excess rubber-like material, making it difficult to align holes.- equipment failure: After installing seven of the eight necessary bolts, I frustratingly discovered the eighth and final bolt was slightly bent and consequently unusable (after repeatedly inserting the bolt, only for it to get stuck at the same point each time). I had to run to Lowe's to pick up a replacement bolt and finish the installation.- sunroof/moonroof: unfortunately mounting these to your roof will prohibit you from completely opening your sunroof/moonroof. The downside to the low-profile design is that it sits at the same height as the opening sunroof/moonroof, so you are limited to only opening it about a third of the way before it reaches the front cross-rail (see picture evidence). We rarely open our sunroof/moonroof so this is not a major issue for us.- locking plate/cover mechanism - upon installing and tightening everything, the product comes with a locking plate to cover the side of the bracket. A) I had to hit this plate to get it to set deep enough against all four brackets, otherwise it would protrude a fraction of an inch. B) I don't know what security these locking plates provide as a criminal who wants to steal your contents could just as easily dismount the mounting brackets from the car using a hex wrench / Allen wrench on the opposite/inside of the mounting brackets.I do not like the appearance of the knuckle-like mounting bracket as much as a more fluidly integrated attachment, but it's not the worst appearance. Shopping the category, I had difficulty locating a lot of roof cross-rail options for a 2023 Enclave - considering that, I think I prefer these cross rails over the tall "mouse ears" of the Buick offering which appear to stick up high above the roof. If I found other viable options for cross-rails I would try those as the installation of these and the faulty bolt the manufacturer provided give me some reservations about the quality.

Installation was a bit longer then I expected but they are secure and work great!

I don't think they have to lock. The chance of loosing the key is much higher than someone removing my Yacoma top trunk.
