Expert Reply:
The weight capacity of the # TH712200 crossbars themselves is 220 lbs. The weight capacity of the whole set up (the # TH460R feet and the # THKIT3050 ) with the capacity of the roof factored in is 150 lbs.
Any roof rack system will only be as strong as its weakest component, and in this case it appears that the capacity of the rack is de-rated by because of the lower capacity of the roof. This is pretty common to be honest.
