Specs:
This semi-custom SportRack roof rack easily installs on your vehicle's bare roof so you can carry extra cargo to your next destination. Adjustable, rotating footpads combine with an easy-to-use numbering system to make the rack conform to your roof for a good fit.
A unique numbering system is inscribed on the crossbars to aid in installation. This system corresponds to numbers noted in the easy-to-read application guide. First, find the number indicated for your car, and then slide the roof-rack feet along the crossbars until they line up with the appropriate number for your application. Tighten the feet in place with the included Allen wrench.
Refer to the application guide to find specific measurements that allow you to properly position the rack on your roof. To begin installing the roof rack on your vehicle, open the passenger's- and driver's-side doors. Place the front crossbar first, and make sure that the screws that hold the clamps in the roof-rack feet are loose before positioning the feet on your roof.
Before attaching the clamps to the door jambs and tightening them down, you need to make sure that the feet and pads are oriented correctly. The bottom of each foot can be rotated to better fit the slope of your roof. Make sure that the feet are sitting flush against the roof.
Once the feet are properly positioned, attach the clamps to the door jambs and tighten via the screws in the feet. After the front crossbar is positioned, review the instructions for the measurements needed to place the rear crossbar and repeat the same process for that crossbar.
Once everything is tightened down, place the locking covers over the feet to deter theft of the rack.

Economically priced, removable roof rack clamps to your vehicle's naked roof. The square, steel crossbars can accommodate a variety of accessories such as bike racks, ski carriers and cargo baskets. Included locks secure the rack to your roof.Well, I'm less than thrilled with the appearance. They look a lot like a semi-universal fit aftermarket roof rack, but since that's exactly what it is and the quality is good at a very reasonable price, it's hard to complain loud enough to be heard. For full disclosure, I had to glue the rubber pads to the bottom of the clamp-on brackets to prevent them from "rolling" out, and I had to tweek the brackets ever so slightly to make a perfect fit. And after misplacing the key, it took about 10 minutes to make a replacement from a thin piece of metal, so the locks are just good enough to stop an honest thief. But having said all that, if I ever need a roof rack for another car, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this same brand and style. I should also mention that don't leave them on all the time, but I made notes for the exact placement, so re-installation is very quick and easy. Lastly, they're plenty strong. I'm sure they could handle more weight than the rating, but I wouldn't try it for fear of bending the roof.
I’m very please with this roof rack . We have used for mostly lugging out kayaks and canoe around . It’s super sturdy and has never been an issue with it , once it was mounted on the car.
A good rack to transport my kayak.
Instructions were clear, and the fitting guide was accurate for my 2017 Toyota Corolla.
Once I figured out what was going on, the rack went on perfectly. It is snug on the car.
Unloaded, there is no wind noise created by the rack.
I added 3 1/4" diameter pool noodles to the rack crossbars.
Cut the noodle lengthwise, wiggle it over the bar, and secure with zip ties.
Use medium thread lock on all the screws.
I've had positive comments on the rack.
Installed very easily in about 30 mins. Good, solid roof rack for the money. The reason I rated 4 stars is because on my car, a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, the weather stripping seals at the top of the doors gets pushed out quite a ways and there’s a decent amount of wind noise that comes in through there. Enough noise comes in that I will have to purchase some additional weather stripping and place it near the clamp of the rack inside the door where it shuts. I have no other complaints besides that. Just be aware of the weather stripping on your car if it’s similar to what is on a 2012 Jetta. I will update once I install the additional weather stripping to see if it helps or not.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE PIECE OF GARBAGE!
We read instructions and installed carefully. Weighed bicycle and rack to make sure it wasn't over the weight limit. Took off for first spring ride, got on the interstate and the whole rack slid off of the roof and VERY LUCKILY landed on the side of the road upright without harming any other motorists. It did, however, cause damage to the roof/window area of the car that will cost a fortune to repair and gouged the rear window. The cheap clamps that attach the rack to the roof weren't strong enough to hold the rack on and all broke and/or pulled/twisted off. It was a windy day and it happened when going about 60 mph.
We bought this rack so that we could use a car top soft side luggage bag when we moved from Iowa to Manitoba in December last year. I modified the rack to accommodate the soft side luggage bag by fitting it with bent pieces of electrical conduit (see the photo). The luggage bag sat on top of the conduit and was strapped to the sport rack and it worked amazingly well. We drove through some nasty cold and wind and it stayed where it was put.
Since we did not want to drive a large moving truck in the winter, we moved with only the stuff we carried in (and on) the car that day. When we went back for the moving truck last summer, we brought the canoe to Manitoba and started using the sport rack (minus the conduit pieces) to carry our old style 72 lbs aluminum canoe on top of the car. Again, works like a charm. I have now acquired proper straps for attaching the canoe to the car and sport rack, but I see no reason to upgrade the rack.
The only drawback of the rack is making sure I don't lose the instructions on exactly where to place it on top of the car, and the fact that putting it on for the season is a bit fiddley, but once it was on it rode there all summer, comes off quickly and easily, and takes up very little space for storage. We love our sport rack. It turned out to be a great purchase!
Bought this to transport my fishing kayak. Got it today and installed it. Directions were super easy, and had it on in 15 minutes. Put the kayak up and strapped it down, took it for a test drive. At speeds of 50mph, it held flawlessly. Good sturdy construction, and a wonderful product. I would totally recommend this product.
I gave this two stars for a couple of reasons. First, putting it together on the car itself is a pure challenge. This can be a couple of reasons, it being hard in general to put together, and the size of the crossbars. I have one of the cars it is fitted for and it was a challenge putting it on. There are slight dents in the rails, which I think came from the poor packaging. My box showed up to my house abused. I still have not put anything on top to test it out yet, but that update will be coming soon.
Super easy to install. So far have only carried my bike on top of my accord but plan to throw my canoe up there at some point. Little wind noise but not bad. Very sturdy and great construction. Have hot 90 on the freeway with my bike loaded with no issues. For the price this rack can't be beat for sure! Very satisfied! Also, super fast shipping. Thank you etrailer.com!
This rack is great. I have used it for a year of carrying a kayak around on a Chevy Cruze. It is very easy to install and remove...probably takes 2-3 minutes at the most. The clamps don't interfere with the door seal, so I've never had any issues with rain or air noise getting around the seal. Since the rack doesn't actually bolt down to the car and simply clamps to the drip edge around the door frames, I use a strap at the front and rear of the kayak. I don't think I would trust the rack's clamping force to retain the rack and a kayak or two at highway speeds without the front and back straps.
I searched for the Ford edge model, but there is no size guide for the installation of this model in the cargo manual, and the two sides are difficult to secure, and it is always easy to fall off, and after the arrival, the packaging box is broken, and there are scars on the shelf, it should be Collision during transportation, in short, this is not a product that pleases me
Ok, this rack will take a bit of man handling...if you have a 2014 legacy, then you should forget about the fit quide cause you won't be even close to installing this rack... So, I called e trailer cs, and they advised me to basically install it in the best and safest way on my car. I still followed the measurements and spacing based on the manual. Viola it fits!
Got the rack for my 2014 Chevy Cruze LTZ to attach j racks to haul kayaks. Fits great, had to adjust between 17-16 on bar setting, feels very solid, installs and removes easily. Have not been able to take kayaks out yet but feeling confident the rack will work great. Came assembled, with instruction pamphlet, all materials received were in great shape. Plan to do a future review after utilizing rack when weather is better but at this time is as advertised and feeling excited.
This rack was way overpriced for the quality. Within a few month of having it mounted on the car, the retention clamp snapped off when the car hit an expansion joint on the highway. Luckily the front one held the boards until we could pull over. The Screw clamp sheared off. I contacted etrailer because I have purchased stuff from them before and usually found their customer service very good. Unfortunately I was referred to the manufacturer of this rack. Couldn’t get anyone to contact me back after multiple times and when I did finally get ahold of them, I was told it wasn’t a manufacturing issue so I was out of luck. Now I have a useless, expensive single rack that isn’t good for anything.
Installation of the SR1010 was a bit challenging. Had to go back and forth, up and down to make sure all the measurements are done correctly. Dimensions giving on the instruction manual was off for the 2014 Toyota Corolla S Plus. The leg kit clamps could have been a little more flexible to fit the naked roof. Installation time took a little over hour. I wouldn’t recommend SR1010 to anyone who is a novice. “You get what you pay for.” That’s what my wife told me.
Doesn’t fit securely onto the vehicle. I have a 2015 jetta and I wouldn’t trust it with just my surf board on it. There isn’t enough counter resistance between the pad and the metal that goes in the door jam. When tightened down at the directions specifications I can pull it off with two fingers. I install solar panels for a living so I’d like to believe I know what secure mounting feels like. Spend the extra $$ if you have a naked roof and get something better than this.
For the price it’s great! You can’t really beat it. Obviously if you’re looking for something heavy duty this will not work but if your like me, on a budget but need something for bike or snowboard storage or lighter weight cargo, this works great. You do get what you pay for so if you’re looking for heavy duty and higher cargo weight, another product will be better obviously.
Great customer service and the rack is great! Fit, look, function and price is on point. Easy to attach our clamshell to as well.
Fit like a glove. Local rack store said nothing would fit my 4Runner except for factory rail-rack, but this did. I needed a 3rd bar to stabilize long rocket box that needs to fit forward so trunk lid opens. Unnecessary second rail is for sale.
As of this review, we've had the roof rack for one year. The rack was put on my wife's 2010 Ford Edge. She's used it to carry her kayak mostly, but has also carried 2x4's she bought it Home Depot, and a Christmas tree. We have had zero issues with this roof rack. If you are looking for a reasonably priced roof rack for your vehicle, I would recommend this product.
Came beat up. Messaged the help desk and haven't gotten a reply. I have a trip in two days and don't know if I will be able to use this because I don't want to install one that came beat up like this and not get a refund. Disappointed in the lack of response. All I got was a survey back from them. These pictures show four separate flaws in the racks. Pluse one part of it has a slight bend in not shown in pictures.
Expensive, clumsy to store and slips easily. Light duty, and for temporary use only. Disappointing.
Package came with holes and looked like it had been dropped a few times.
A plastic piece fell out broken but it ended up being part of the packing for the keys.
Customer service acted fast but the unit itself was not damaged
Installed and works just fine. Make sure to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
I’d give it a 5 but shipment was not so good.
The rack did not fasten securely to my vehicle so I added stainless steel screws
The product came super fast. I believe I place the order at 8:30 pm on a Tuesday and it was waiting for me when I got home from work on Thursday. Opened the box and pulled them out. Already assembled. A bonus compared to others I've seen. It took me a bit longer to install them on my car than I expected. About 30 minutes. As other reviews had indicated the setting number provided in the instructions were not good. Frankly if I would have just ignored the instructions and put them in place ignoring the settings I think they could have been installed in less than 10 minutes. The hooks that attach them to the doors are nicely rubber coated. They seem really tight and really solid.
I was worried about the road noise other reviews of this product and other racks talk about. I took it out for a quick drive. Although I could definitely hear it I thought it was pretty minimal. I put these on my wife's car so I'm not used to the normal noise level. I would say that if I were not really listening specifically for this it could easily have been normal road/wind noise. When the radio was on I could not hear it.
Next test will be to load it with the things we are taking on vacation and see how it goes. All in all I'm really please with it. I would have given it 5 stars if it were not for the goofy settings on the instructions
