Bottom Line:
The bottom line is that it looks great and you can adapt just about anything to it. I added a couple of Velo Vise bike mounts. It comes with load bars so you could add a box.The finish and construction of the rack is good. The only weekness so far is the fact that it mount to the cross bars of your factory rack which makes it a little wobbly, But it is still very secure. I think they should have came up with a mount that is mounted to the rails that go from front to back, which are bolted down to the roof instead of the side to side bars. Also it locks down nicely. Once it is together it can be taken off your rook and put back on in less the 5min. If you choose too.Overall I like it alot. The "4" overall rating is only due to mounts
