Pros & Cons
Pros
The rubber footing on the * are thick and durable. They feel extremely sturdy - no wiggling or sagging at all.
Bought for both our vehicles. Have held 2 kayaks on long trip no issue. Installed on a 2020 gmc acadia to haul paddleboards and a surfski. It fits great in my 2023 kia carnival.
Initial setup is a little bit time-consuming, figuring out proper spacing and getting everything assembled for the first time. Once initial setup is complete, installing or removing the bars takes just a few minutes. Tip - when measuring, secure * eno... Read More
Gas mileage differences, like wind noise, are noticeable but not extreme.
The locking mechanism is easy to use, and the keys are large enough so you won't lose them or risk breaking them in the locking assembly. Each bar has two vehicle *, you slide the * into the bar and attach the end caps to hold the clamp in. Built-in a... Read More
Cons

Price
These cross bars are well priced and a perfect fit for my 2024 subaru outback wilderness
Great product at a fraction of the cost of other brands
I bought other rails for half the cost and when they arrived they were cheap
Havent lost one yet but no big deal if i do for the price
Shipping
My cousin found these we ordered and put them on my car the day before our trip
This kit arrived promptly and the installation was pretty smooth
Rails arrived a few days slower then expected
I received these bars in the mail today and i installed them right away
Packaging/appearance
They were packaged nicely and were brand new no dents or scratches and nothing was missing
Very nice looking and served its purpose
Important weather stripping is rolled in the packaging and not straight
Competitiveness
These are solid less noisy that yakima and alot cheaper
One the plus side these are stronger than the subaru rated cross beams and have much less flex
I determined that it wasnt worth spending 300 on thule rhino yakima etc
I have had thule and yakima racks and i would compare these malone roof racks to those
