The bars are compatible with most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers, and the towers have built-in locks to protect the rack from theft. The rack clamps onto your raised side rails and tightens down with the included tool, so it's easy to remove and install.
Strong, Steel Crossbars
The durable crossbars are made of steel and have a black vinyl coating to protect them from corrosion and keep them looking new. The bars also have plastic endcaps to protect the interiors from the elements and to give your roof rack a finished look.
Durable Towers with Built-In Security
The towers are made of molded nylon that won't fade or wear down when exposed to the elements. Each tower includes a nylon cover with a built-in lock to deter would-be thieves from removing the rack from your roof. The covers also protect the towers' interior and hardware from the elements.
Easy Installation with Rubber-Coated Steel Clamps
The towers attach to your 's raised, factory side rails with rubber-coated steel clamps. The rubber coating provides a superior grip on your side rails and protects them from damage during installation and use.
To tighten, simply turn the bolt inside the tower assembly with the included installation tool until the clamps are snug.
Rubber spacer blocks are included to fit smaller side rails. If the clamps don't tighten enough to your side rails, just slide a spacer block onto the clamps before tightening them.
Once assembled, the towers and crossbars stay together as one unit, which makes removing, storing, and reinstalling the system a snap. To remove, simply remove the cover and loosen the bolts inside the towers with the installation tool.

Bought this in hopes it would fit my gobi rack on my wrangler. Only thing I had to do was to get longer bolts and it works great. We paired it with the Malone kayak carrier.

Crossbars and risers fit like a charm on factory roof rails of 2023 Honda ridgeline RTL-E. Much cheaper and studier than that of OEM Honda cross bars
by: William03/02/2022
I bought this so I could transport two kayaks from the Philly area to Florida. The rack it's self is very tight, in someways difficult to attach. When I first got it I called tech to explain that it did not fit my car. I was assured it did. When I finally forced the rack on to my cross bars and tightened it, it was on not without effort. I put this rack on a 2017 Sienna, which does not have a great rail bar set up either. Which is another story in itself. Anyway 58" is too short for my kayaks. I had to fabricate extended bars made of steel pipe, and attach them to the roof rack system, so the kayaks can lay flat on the car. The whole arrangement is not ideal. Malone makes longer cross bars but won't sell them to you. they tell they will not fit your car. I have 2000 Odyssey, At the time I purchased the Malone rack I had another set Different brand on my Odyssey. After all this the Odyssey racks fit the Sienna.
So my fault for not checking in advance. Are the Malone racks good yes They are not sold in the size that works for me, for the car I have for the use I need. Does that mean they don't work, no not at all. If you have ever transported kayaks on their sides on a highway with large trucks and rvs then you know the feeling of your car moving around in the turbulence from these vehicles. A thousand miles of that is no fun.That is why I like to transport them flat.I did speak to the Malone people about this but they would not sell the longer cross bars to me saying they don't fit my car. If your are around town, or short jump on the highway kayaks on their sides is fine. By the way I have Jay hooks and have transported my kayaks on their sides on I95. Not fun.

Nothing has changed as for the cross bars I bought Etrailer. Although I see Jenny has made a comment about the size of cross bars allowed on my car, or stating limitations of the cross bars. I added 72 steel pipes to my cross bars. Which in relation to the car, they do not extend past the sides of the body of my van. Jenny states that you should not extend past the distance to the outside of each mirror. Well I have measured that distance and it is 90 that is 38 larger the the rack they would sell me. And 18 larger then the bars I added. Again I am not saying there is anything wrong with the rack they sold me, other then being short for what I need.

Got UPS notification that they were delivered today, on time and in great condition. Never before have I messed with luggage racks. Didn't bother reading directions, just went off memory from the etrailer video. Install couldn't have been any easier, seriously. They were centered, tightened down and locked in no more than 20 minutes. Super sturdy and clean looking. Then I bolted on my kayak racks, threw on the kayaks and went for a test drive. I'm ??% satisfied. The Malone racks got the competition beat big time, especially in price.

Got an email today telling me its been about a year since we got the roof racks. I still have to say Im completely satisfied with these bars. Very sturdy. They hold both our 10 kayaks with no problems at all at highway speeds. I removed them for the winter and put them back on a couple months back. I still say these bars are the way to go just based on price compared to the competition, then after using them you really realize how valuable they are.

Basic crossbar roof rack.
Lock system rather flimsy.
Installation process somewhat cumbersome.
Seems solidly built.

My roof rack bars are excellent. I especially like the 58" length, something I could not find anywhere else. They were dead easy to install, and they look good. They will be used to carry - with a carry platform I will make myself - everything from my canoes to lumber to bales of hay, and god knows what else besides. I am very pleased with my purchase; the bars are very well worth the price.
Snd thank you very much for your prompt, efficient service.

Its working out absolutely beautifully. I built a special wooden rack to go on top of your two bars to handle my canoe, lumber, bales of hay It will take 14, etc. I am totally pleased with your product. I am also impressed with this kind of customer follow-up.

This turned out to be much better than I had originally thought. Before purchasing the Malone crossbars, I had originally installed the Thule crossbar system on my car. However, the towers began to deteriorate over time and lost their durability and functionality.
This is when I began looking at an alternative that provided the same service but at a better price. I came across the Malone Crossbar plus locking towers and although at first I was sceptical of their quality, they have performed great. As you can see in the photo I have provided, this product allows me to continue carrying my Kayak, Roof Cargo Box, and my ARB 6' Awning. They are very durable and the towers have never shifted out of place, even when I drove through high wind or when my car was tilting to the side on a trail. I do highly recommend them.
by: Johonn01/09/2023
Arrived very promptly. Packaging in good condition. Installation instructions could be better. Hard to install. Had to use a mallet to force into place. Road test good minimum wind noise.

Easy install, I had to shim up rack on rails to keep base of attachments from coming in contact with car top. Looks great!

I was sent a previously returned item. They rails were all scratched up and the keys were missing. The ends of the box were not even there (it was wide open). I will be sending it back. In the future if I order a new item please send a new fully boxed and complete item. This was a ZERO and I will be returning the item.

I sincerely apologize that the roof rack arrived this way. I will have our customer service team reach out as quickly as possible.
by: Chuck 05/31/2023
The crossbars work great! They've been on my car for a year and no sign of rust. I especially like that they're lockable. Also, I installed a roof rack on the crossbars and when I want to remove everything, I just unlock the crossbars and pull the whole thing off and store it in my garage.

I chose this cross bar system mainly for the reasonable price and the good reviews. They were very easy to install and I love that they include locks. They attach very tightly to the factory side rails of my 2009 Subaru Forester. I purchased some J style kayak mounts that I attached to the rails. They went on easily and are very solid. I will likely leave the mounts attached to the rails and take the rails on and off as needed. Overall I think these were a great buy.

After using these cross bars for a year, I can easily say that I am very pleased with them. I am confident that they will continue to perform without issue for years to come.

I received the roof rack without the key and the rack had some damage. I was ok with using the roof rack as it was, I just needed the key. Lori took care of the problem quickly and said she would send out a whole new unit expedited so I could have it for my trip the next week! Outstanding!
by: Lisa 06/27/2023
Roof racks are a good value and got the job done. Reason for four stars instead of five is they generate a lot of wind noise when driving 40mph or more.

It was great! Popped a Yakima Skybox 21 on it and drove two trips - out to Rocky Mountain National Park and a trip to Florida - over 3000 miles total and had no problems whatsoever. It's works far superior than did my previous Thule rack and cost a fraction of the cost.

I had to delay this review because I was waiting for my new car. It went on no problem. Had to do some figuring to have the crossbars even on both sides but it was worth the effort. Nice sturdy roof rack.
by: Forrest02/21/2023
Hi, the products themselves are excellent. I highly recommend the Yakima sky box. The shipping was a little frustrating. Probably not etrailers fault but. The shipping company would not deliver to my address because the street was to small???? It’s the same brown truck we all know……….. had to drive to the terminal 45 minutes away to pick up. etrailer is excellent though superb customer service my customer service rep Kearra D is on point thanks again

They arrived when expected. The installation was easy, but they could be more clear with respect to how much torque the bolts should be tightened to.

- Will Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Fit Garvin Expedition RackI checked with Malone and they don't offer a maximum and minimum side rail size for the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack part # MPG202. That said, they do come with a shim (see photo below) that is to be used on smaller sized side rails so you should be alright. If you still cannot get a tight fit even with the shim installed you can increase the thickness of the bar by adding additional spacers or by wrapping the bar in electric tape.

Malone has test fit it on your vehicle and found that it fit and was perfectly safe. It has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. It does not need to fit into the pin holes of your rails and instead clamps tightly to the bars. When it is tightened to the rails of your roof it would not push back on them from the wind.

The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG202 can accommodate a rooftop tent on your 2016 Subaru Forester as long as the tent itself does not exceed 165 pounds. Also, since Malone does not have a static load rating for their crossbars, it is important to make sure that your tent has enough weight capacity in order to handle the added body weight to the tent. Another thing that you need to note is that the tent must be installed on inside of the feet on the crossbars. I went ahead and attached...

- Comparing Malone SteelTop Crossbars with AirFlow 2 Crossbars for 2022 Chevy Equinox w/Raised RailsMalone is a great economical choice for your light use on your 2022 Chevy Equinox with raised rails. As far as the Malone AirFlow 2 aero bars and the Malone SteelTop # MPG202, I recommend going with the AirFlow 2 - 58" # MPG216 for a couple reasons. The first is the aerodynamic design. The aeros are definitely less noisy than the square SteelTops. Additionally, the design leads to better increased fuel efficiency. As a final advantage, the AirFlow 2 crossbars have a full-length channel...
view full answer... - Will Malone SteelTop MPG202 Fit A 2005 Jeep Liberty With Factory Round Raised RailsYes, Both the Malone SteelTop # MPG202 and # MPG203 will work perfectly with the round raised factory rails on your 2005 Jeep Liberty. I recommend going with the shorter # MPG202 since you cannot load any weight on the overhanging ends of the bars, there's no real benefit or reason to go with the longer # MPG203.
view full answer... - Fit of Malone MPG202 SteelTop Roof Rack on 2014 Subaru Impreza Assuming you're speaking of the 5 door hatchback or the wagon as some call it, yes the Malone # MPG202 SteelTop roof rack will fit. You might consider upgrading slightly to the AirFlow2 roof rack, part # MPG216 because they're priced just a little bit higher yet their aerodynamic shape makes them much more quiet than the square bars used on the SteelTop rack. I've linked to product videos for both roof racks.
view full answer... - Malone MPG201 SteelTop Roof Rack for 2018 Subaru Forester with Moon RoofLet me begin with the moonroof issue. The roof rack manufacturers make a blanket statement saying that you shouldn't use a sun/moonroof with a roof rack installed. This is because it's usually not the roof rack that's the problem but the accessories mounted upon it. The bracketry that the accessories use to attach to the roof rack usually hangs down below the crossbars which can interfere with the roof operation. Because of the myriad of different choices of roof rack accessories available,...

This is true of the vast majority of roof rack systems.

It isn't that the rack won't physically fit; since the feet can be positioned at different points of the square bars, the rack will fit. The issue is the length of the bars. The 65 inch length means they are going to stick out on the side quite a bit, to the point that people who got too close would have to duck or potentially hit their noggin on the...

- Cargo Crossbars With Highest Weight Rating for 2012 Infinity QX56According to my research the maximum capacity of your 2012 Infinity QX56 roof is 200 pounds. There are not aftermarket crossbar feet - they are custom to the crossbar rail and roof rails. You can replace your crossbars with the Malone # MPG202 crossrails that have the highest weight rating at 165 pounds. These crossbars will attach directly to your front to back roof rails. I have attached a video review of this product.
view full answer... - Will the Malone Steel Top Roof Rack Fit my 2021 Jeep Cherokee TrailhawkYes the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack part # MPG202 is confirmed to fit the raised side rails on your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. It will clamp directly to the side rails and allow you to position them where you want on the roof line. This will help you to match it up with the many accessories available for use of roof rack systems. I've linked a video for you to check out on a 2018 Cherokee similar to yours.

It has square bars which can hold up to 165 lbs. They feature a simply bolt-on install. Unfortunately, if you have a model with bare roof we do not have any great roof rack options.

You would want to measure the width between mirrors on a vehicle. This is typically the widest point on a vehicle and you do not want to use bars that are wider as this could be a safety problem or even illegal in some areas. You also do not want to load weight on the section of crossbar that extends past the towers.
