Specs:
These low-profile, crescent-shaped crossbars allow you to mount a variety of roof rack accessories to the top of your vehicle. The included rubber-coated leg clamps easily mount to your raised side rails without the use of tools. Integrated locks help to deter theft of the roof rack. Each bar extends past the roof rack clamps to maximize space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized strips in each crossbar's top channel protect your cargo from scratches.
The crossbars are made of lightweight aluminum so they're easy to maneuver and won't add a significant amount of weight to your rooftop. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them on your roof year-round. The black powder coat finish provides additional protection against the elements.
Each crossbar leg clamp includes a key-operated twist knob to lock the bars to the side rails to help deter theft of the roof rack.
These crossbars are perfect for mounting your Curt cargo basket (C18115 or C18115-117 - sold separately), kayak carrier (C18320 - sold separately), or other clamp-on accessories.

No noise what so ever on the interstate, nor driving normal speeds. 22 Subaru Outback Wilderness
Very poor quality, tightening mechanism on one clamp failed a month in, caged nut was pulled from plastic housing, customer support insists it was overtightened and I should simply buy a new one given nothing is sold separately, was installed and used per manufacturer instructions. Disappointing at best, dangerous at worst.
Very satisfied with this roof rack! Easy to install, and works well with the kayak racks I use. There is some noise as you would expect, a slight whistle, but nothing my music doesn’t cover up easily. I leave them on all the time!

I know the wind noise does not currently bother you with roof rack. If that should change, I recommend looking at adding a fair like part # INA262. They come in various lengths and this would be 48 inches long.
I enjoy my Curt rails. They have held up just fine on my summer of kayaking with multiple boats but there are two things I'm not fond of when it comes to this pair.
The Knobs Take A Lot Of Turns: I wanted to take my rails on and off between boating trips and this alternative seemed to be the easiest to do that especially not requiring any tools. The turning mechanism works but let me tell you what I didn't expect just how many turns it would take. What time you save without needing a tool is made up turning the knobs a good 30 times it seems and that can get a bit tiring on the forearms 4xs.
Too Much Bowing: I also don't like how much these rails bow with higher weights. I have roughly 100 lbs between 2 kayaks on my roof rack and it bows pretty well. That's wasn't expected for rails rated to hold 150lbs. Not only do they bow but they feel a bit elastic so I concern that on bumpy roads it might slightly go up and down. That wouldn't be an issue but I'm concerned the screws from my kayak holders might scratch/dent my roof. So I end up having to place pool noodles between the rails and my roof if I have more than one boat on my roof for safety.
Overall they still have held up well and they do come on and off without a tool as described. But factoring the difficulty for a "simple" on/off and the bowing of the load capacity I unfortunately have to say these bars are average. Don't take this 3 ratings as a "don't get these" that is not the case and they certainly they do the trick. They just aren't "excellent" in the sense of excelling at all aspects.
price reflects the quality the knobs keep spinning not sure if the locked ones are even locked 3 of the 4 tightened i’ll be returning
Fantastic customer service!
I recently ordered these bars for my wife’s 2016 Toyota RAV4. James was very helpful on the phone and they arrived very fast.
Unfortunately, the bars did not pass the test. After a 35 mile trip with my wife’s kayak on top (55 lbs), we arrived with the bars bent. Even after removing the kayak, the bars did not go back up. Because they were bent, the bottom of the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier kept hitting the top of the RAV4.
We followed the instructions to the letter during installation. Needless to say, we returned these crossbars and went with the Rola Rail Extreme RBU Series Roof Rack. Much better experience.
I think for the price point these cross bars are great. If you’re needing them for a tent or heavy duty, perhaps not the best choice. I’m no expert, that’s just what I think. I was relieved to find these as a Subaru Wilderness owner due to the lack of crossbar options and dependable information out there. I just wanted something good enough to hold some snowboards/skis, maybe a surfboard, but don’t care about the fancy name brands. I’m sure there are sleeker sets but I find these black Curt’s to look just fine. Came with 2 sets of keys, of course hardware, and took 40 minutes to assemble including the Thule snowboard rack. The next test will be how noisy they are, which I still think considering these will be on temporarily for a few months out of the year, I can deal.
First time customer. I was very impressed with the speed my order was processed and shipped and the way etrailer runs their business should be an industry example.
The Curt Roof Rack/Rails fit perfectly, they look very modern, well made and blend seamlessly with my 2017 Equinox. I like them. Kenneth
After one year on the roof rails of my Infiniti QX50, I give this set 10 stars! Easiest install ever and logical- no knuclebusting, one person could do it all , but having another to help place each set of rails and locks in 2 places is a must . Then one happy camper, or skier , or traveler can add whatever needs once they are locked- and the locks are simple and intelligent- no screwdrivers specific to other brands Allen wrenches yada yada.
A Thule box on the right side and a kayak on the left side.
Also - the cost for these was stupendously fair and low.
The tightening knobs can be over tightened fairly easily, and will no longer tighten. This renders the entire mount unusable. Register a warranty with CURT or return before using the product if you wish to avoid getting stuck.
Solid item. Bought it for my 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness. Also purchased the Yakima Ski/Snowboard rack in addition to these cross bars. Will write a review after a year of owning it.
Well built rack that was more difficult to install than expected. I had problems trying to position it because of the sunroof on my 17 alltrack; the front bar is as far forward as I can get it, and then I opened the sunroof and positioned the back bar about an inch behind it.
I wanted a set of crossbars that are easy to put on and take off as I will only need them when on trips to the mountains and to the beach - about four trips per year. These are the perfect bars for my needs and fit very well on the roof rails of my 2020 Subaru Forester. Shipping was extremely fast and product arrived in great condition.
Great service. Speedy delivery.
Roof racks practically self installed.
Thanks
I have always gone for name brand roof racks and spent incredible amounts of money on various components and this was, by far, the easiest installation that I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to get my kayak racks on and make some use of them.
Highly recommended-easy installation.
Shipping was fast and the directions on installation were clear.
They look great, and very reasonably priced compared to the OEM rails from Subaru.
Great place to buy.all of my accessories. Even had to make a return because I made an error and it was simple. Customer service was amazing, everything I needed was in stock, shipped and received quickly. Crossbars fit on my Acadia easily and in seconds.
Been on the vehicle a little over a year. I’ve carried snowboards to cargo carriers. Bars work well and look good. After installing I decided to just leave them on full time. They add to the look of the 4 runner.
Great. Easy to take on and off and they come with a lock unlike most cross bars which require you to purchase them separately.
It's very easy to install, It didn't take 10 min from me to put the roof rack on top. I just noticed that one of them has a minor curve in the middle but not big deal to worry about
Easy install. Feel sturdy. Could be easy to over tighten but just dont...

Works great after a year. Still carry’s my raft frame awesome. Some wind noise if nothing is on it but that is to be expected. Works perfect as advertised
Very happy with my roof rails, good Product and Very easy to Install.
The price is very good for this product of great quality.
The shipping was faster than I tough.
The rails are rated for 150lbs, the carriers and the kayaks are well under the weight, there is a little bowing under the load but not bad. To be honest I expected worse having read some of the other reviews.
Perfect! I like that they extend past the factory rails. It makes it easier to tie some objects down. Would buy again!

Garbage! One of them wouldn’t secure. Too low weight capacity also.
