Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2
Its been one year since I installed the Rhino Rack crossbars and I have absolutely no issues. The main use is to carry my Kayaks on my 2013 Subaru Impreza utilizing Yakima JayLow kayak carriers. The only caveat is to be sure to properly cut and install the plastic channel inserts (underside) or you will experience an annoying whistling sound. If you're looking for high quality crossbars, I highly recommend these.
I installed this on a subaru Impreza. I had everything I needed from the kit that Etrailer packaged in. I also got Thule The Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier (TH80) to haul up 2 Day Touring Kayaks. I have driven over 2000 miles with this set up, on this trip, and found no issue. Wind noise is minimal to not noticeable with this rack. The results will vary base on how the kayaks are loaded.

Yakima RoundBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 48" Long - Qty 2
I ordered the Yakima roof rack, with the Hullyrollers for the back crossbar and the Mako saddles for the front crossbar to use with my kayak. It arrived just like they told me and I put them on my car the eveningit arrived. Got to finlly use the roof rack on June 22 to go out kayaking and it worked great. Only thing is I did not know about the air reflector piece for the front crossbar. Now I will be ordering it to help with the wind noise.
Great rack, go on fast, easy to install and work well on my VW TDI wagon. Care has to be given and follow the instructions for the install to what type of rails you have. Works great carrying the VW luggage carrier and plan on using it to carry kayaks as well. Just have not decided what kayak rack type to get yet.

The only problem I had, was when I watched the video showing how to install the rack, I did not realize that the actual installation process was a lot more complex. For example, the woman who was in the video only showed the installation one rack (I believe itg was the back rack and she gave the width measurement for that one. The front rack was already on the car and the woman neglected to say, "check your manual. The width of the front rack (may be) different than the back. She also did not explain carefully that there were three different screws that needed to be adjusted for a proper fit so the towers were properly adjusted for yoiur specific car. (My car is a 2018 Chevy Volt.) (I also bought Yakima kayak cradles from you guys, which were easy to install.) However, I blame myself for not reading the manual carefully, so when I installed the racks, they did not fit right and one of them actually fell off while I was driving. (Luckily there were kayaks on and no one was hurt. The two towers were damaged but luckily the rack and the kayak cradles were fine. I called etrailers and was told I had to contact Yakima, which I did. I explained to the Yakima customer service rep that I was at fault for trusting the video and not reading the manual carefully and after asking me to send him photos of the damaged towers he sent me two new towers for free, as well as another torque wrench, so I could work with a second person. This time I read the manual carefully and watched the Yakima video many times during the a week before I felt confident enough to try installing the racks again. This time they fit perfectly. I love both the rack and the kayak cradles. I use them to transport my two kayaks down to the Hudson River near my house and have also used them to carry the kayaks to a family camping site 50 miles away, confident they are safe and secure. But please, review the video you put out for the installation of the racks onto a 2017 Chevy Volt, and either correct the shortcomings by doing it over, with an explanation about the adjustment of the widths, and also reading the manual and finding the correct positions for the adjustment screws. (Or delete it and refer your customers to the Yakima installation video. Though it’s more generic than yours, at least the tell the customer to refer to the manual.
Super happy with my purchase from e trailers purchased yakima roof rack. Knowledgeable sales rep.Help me through the process on purchasing my roof rack Recommended to anyone quality parts

SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Square Crossbars - Steel - 45-1/2" Long
This is more a review on the customer service experience. Racks were delivered on time but damaged. I emailed them and received a response almost immediatly. Sent pictures, they replied and shipped me new racks no questions asked. They also sent me a pre paid shipping label. By far the greatest customer service experience I've had. Racks were very easy and simple to install. Unfortunately I had to remove rain guards but they were broken anyway. What a great co to deal with. Will do business with them again and recommend them to anyone.
Sorry it took so long to respond, the box was staring at me for this weekends put together. Well things fit so, so. The extensions bars are to long to fit the rack on top of my car, totally unneeded hardware and I would like to return it for a refund. The feet of the rack are not flush with the roof line so I'll need to bend them to fit as flush as I can get them. I do notice a second hole on the feet but cannot use it because of a fixed rivet instead of something interchangeable to make a more fitting angle for the foot to my roof, still some bending needed. The cross bars look like they have been returned before as there are burrs where clamps were tightened down way too hard previously. All in all, I can make it fit if it doesn't void any warranty but would rather return everything if it does.

Yakima RoundBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 58" Long - Qty 2
Free delivery that showed up in 3 days!!! Can't beat it. The crossbars with the Control Towers and LandingPad 9 fit perfectly on my Honda Element. Had them installed in about 30 mins. Don't have my cargo box yet and wanted to test strength, so I had my 110lb wife standing on them with no issues (yes, the car was parked). Plan to take a long camping trip next week with a cargo box on top...wife will be in the vehicle:-)
works good

Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2
Really solid bars and end caps, not much more to say!
Great product. One complaint is some road noise, whistling as I drive down the road. I got used to it but was slightly annoying at first.
