He directions are a little rough around the edges, but once I figured everything out this rack rivals Thule or Yakima. Very happy with the outcome, and I had no problem taking my two kayaks up north. Good buy!

The rack is sturdy and well constructed. It is easy to put together and I like that its position can be adjusted based upon what you want to carry. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it would be nice if it had cross-bars. Also - be wary, it will probably reduce your MPG because it messes with the aerodynamics of the car. So it might be best to keep it off the car if it's not being used (unless you think it's worth it because it looks cool).

I was not impressed with this system. When tightening the clamps down for the rack base, the rubber started coming loose from one of the clamps. I tightened it down anyway, but the rack came loose from the car while driving. Luckily it didn't fly all the way off the roof and hit another car. I believe the one clamp was defective since the others did not separate from the rubber.

Phone rep honed in on the model I needed for my load size and weight right away. I received it quickly. Every step in the instruction manual was clear except one that should have been written better. Took me overnight and sleeping on it to figure out what the heck it meant. Also the straps I was recommended were not adequate. Too narrow and not long enough. Once I got the cargo box on the roof, I secured it barely enough to get to the hardware store and get a great professional 4 pack of straps.

Installed the 2500 Series with aero bars. Almost no wind noise.Occasionally high whistle at low speeds. Instructions were adequate, once I figured them out. No need for 8 keys for locking system. Two keys came with each base. Love the look of aero bars. Definitely recommend this system. Much cheaper than Thule and definitely as sturdy.

The rack looks good on my 08 Accord. Wasn't that difficult to assemble. Have not had a chance to use it.

Relatively easy setup for those with DIY knowledge. The kit does come with a measuring tape with both metric and english style measurement. I can't stress the need for measuring multiple times to make sure you have the distances correct and the bars are straight. I used this on a 2012 Volkswagen GTI and it works wonderful. If you don't fear a little do it yourself work I highly suggest this product.
