@@MaximumDIYGarage yeah I really like how they looks. The rubber that goes under it looks weird tho. Like it has littles waves but I no longer think of that
You are welcome Savannah! I have not seen too many videos on these on RUclips for Mitsu Outlander, so I decided to film my experience. It is not as straightforward as one may think, and the fitment takes a little tweaking. For example, I had to file down the washers and had to file down one of the mounting brackets. Make sure the brackets fit snugly in the groove, otherwise the railing will not adhere tightly to the roofline. I am not 100% satisfied with these Chinese made knock offs, but in my application these are more for Looks than for function. I think the rails give the car more finished and refined look. And the added benefit of course that you can install cross rails on them to haul bikes, skis and snowboards and other items. Which car make/model do you have?
@@MaximumDIYGarage I have a 2017 mitsubishi outlander. I had to file down the washers too lol, it is was so tedious. After getting it all installed I wasn't to impressed with these rails. I bought the cross rails to put on them and it just didn't feel as secure as I'd like. They definitely do feel more like they are just for looks. Which was kind of a bummer cuz I had spent so much time installing them. I ended up returning the cross rack and getting the door hooks to attach the roof cargo bag I had bought.
I wondered how they’d work with cross rails. I suspected that it won’t be rock solid given the quality at this price point ($130 on eBay vs $275 for OEM from a dealer) Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@MaximumDIYGarage hi..what brand you installed,is that the oem from dealer? Just wondering why those mounting bracket didn't fit and I'm also planning to put one on my car. Thanks
These were no name cheap Chinese knock offs I bought off eBay. Looks like the seller is all sold out now. If you really need good quality ones, I would go for OEM Mitsubishi ones. Be prepared to pay between $350-$500
Looks good. Is that strong enough to carry heavy gears? the bottom side brackets are fixed by squeezing in the slot. Concern is the safety. Also fixed points on the base model, why just install the crossbars with the fixed points? Good video though, thanks for sharing
I have a 2018 outlander and it came with roof rails similar to what you have added but we're looking to replace the rails to ones that have the gap underneath. Would replacing them be similar to the steps you took, just a different roof rails?
Hello Dana! I personally find ones that have gaps underneath (between the roof and the rails) more useful as you can easily tie things down to them. I have those in my GX470 and XTerra. However, I have not seen such rails that would be made a specifically for the Outlander. If you find some, I am certain they mount in a similar way. As I have mentioned in some of my previous comments, these rails I’ve installed are not designed for any serious cargo box or other weight carrying. These are just for looks. They come stock on Highest trim level (SEL if you are in the US) and look much better that little rubber strips covering g the rail gutter. Just my 2 cents.
No, I don’t recommend attaching a luggage rack to it. I do t think is is sturdy enough for that. You’d have to buy original Mitsubishi roof rails for that. This one is just for looks.
Hi! I purchased mine online via eBay 2 years ago. It came from China. That seller is no longer can be found on eBay. These will not fit 2023 body style and the shape of the roof and mounting points are different. Good luck!
I am certain that it is very similar. You are just installing brackets into grooves and mount the rails to the brackets. Essentially the same procedure for most railings. Thank you for checking out my video!
Thank you for watching! I do not use them to mount anything on top. These are for looks only. The mounting hardware did not impress me and I do not trust these knock-offs to carry much weight safely.
Hi John, I’m not sure about the universal crossbars. I haven’t tried any on mine. Let me know if you decide to try on yours how it fits please. Thank you!
@@marcusschwarz5676 sure did. The ones I bought on eBay worked well minus one minor issue which was the bolt was a little to long when the plastic end caps went on. Other than that all good. Still on with no issues.
Great question! That would be a good test, however I only use touch less car washes in the winter and prefer to wash the car by hand whenever temperature allows. I have ceramic coated it, so it stays clean for weeks and I never need the car wash. Thanks for asking though!
@@MaximumDIYGarage great thank you, my outlander didn't come with the rails either and the rubber seals kept almost falling completely off after every visit to the car wash until yesterday where one side completely fell off inside the car wash. I didn't realize it until I pulled over to vacuum. Called it a loss and started looking into getting the rails.
@@user-yk2sj1sc6g yep, just remember, if you’re getting these knock-offs, make sure not to use them for hauling any gear on top, they are not meant for that. This is just to cover the gaps where the rubber liner was for a more upscale/finished look.
If you want original equipment, try Hyundai parts dept at your local dealer. Also, sometimes eBay has OEM parts too. I bought these off eBay, but they were not original Mitsubishi rails, they are cheap knock offs from China.
Hi thank you for your video. I was wondering what is the code for the roof rails. Is it MZ576929EX? thank you. It is not clear if both roof rails come when you buy them for around 400 dollars.
Thank you for checking out my video! I am sorry, I do not know the factory stock number of these rails. The ones I installed in the video are a Chinese made knock off without any serial number designated
Thank you for your question! I have driven the car 4,600 some miles and it has been over 5 months and they seem to hold up fine. Now that being said, I have not mounted any cross bars or other equipment to them. I do not trust these to haul any loads safely. These are just for esthetics. If you are looking to mount anything on your roof like a bike rack or anything else, I would just buy the crossbars that mount directly to the roof mounting points inside the rails under the rubber moldings.
Where did you buy the rails? I'm looking online for a set for my 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander sport but have no luck finding these parts. I assume they are pretty silmilar.
Yes, these fit 2012-2020 Outlander (not Outlander Sport). Got these on eBay. The ones that I’ve purchased are gone, out of stock, but there are other sellers that offer them for around $140-$180 for a set, originals are from $500 and up, but I haven’t found any that are available at this time.
Be aware, they are of questionable quality in terms of load capacity. Unless you are installing them just for looks, I would avoid these. The installation hardware scratches the paint within the roof canal, which may cause corrosion down the road and have potential roof leak if installed as is without proper pads (not included) and automotive caulk/sealant. If you are planning to mount transverse rails to carry a roof box or heavier loads, I would definitely not recommend these.
@James Gulliver: James, I purchased those from eBay for $135 or so 2 years ago. These rails are no longer available from that seller, I checked. Sorry I don’t have a link for you.
I am glad you found this video helpful! Unfortunately the eBay seller has deleted the listing (must be sold out of these), so I could not find the link. Search eBay for similar listings - Mitsubishi Outlander roof rails. Make sure it is for the “big” outlander and not for outlander Sport.
The ones that I purchased were $130. I do not see anything listed for this price any longer. Most of them at $300, but I’m guessing original Mitsubishi parts and better quality?
@@MaximumDIYGarage I'm looking for the sports version mines is 2019 last time I saw they don't sell the OEM as a set, per the pieces the brackets/end caps/screws/rails are all separate prices all together it will be like $1500 I'm still on the hunt !
@SDMCraika - I’m sure you can get a set for under $150-200 off eBay. Be warned though, the quality on these aftermarket railings is questionable and you may need to do some customizing work when installing. Otherwise, like you said, they may run around $500-1500 for original Mitsubishi part.
Muraad, it depends which ones you get. I bought mine off eBay and paid less than $200 for the whole set (both rails). That’s a Chinese part. The original Mitsubishi part is around $600 for the set. There are a few options on eBay or Ali Express.
Manny, I paid $130 back in 2021. I just searched for “roof rails 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander” and picked the cheapest ones available. The OEM ones are like $500-600! But OEM is much better quality! I don’t use mine for hauling anything, and don’t recommend them to anyone who wants to mount a cargo basket to them and hail stuff. The attachment points are just not robust enough.
you’re right, I should take them off and spray paint them to protect from corrosion. Although, they were aluminum, and aluminum does rust, just corrodes.
@@MaximumDIYGarage Ok great 👍🏻 if they aluminium, apologies did not know that. Ok then we all good to go. Thank you for a great video, you sure are skilled and make it look so easy 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done 👍🏻
