Appreciate the video. Please do not copy this everyone. This style clamp is for raised open rails. The kind that you can see under and put a hand under. Pretty dangerous for everyone behind him on the highway
To be honest it can handle small, light weight things but it's more designed for raised roof rails as it is more secure on those. So I'd recommend skipping these on closed non-raised roof rails.
@@brianlewis4940 I bought one and I bought the roof rack that master haul makes i’ve had them for about three months now they have held up fairly good. My only complaint is the stickers of the rack came off pretty quick and left this goo residue. I have yet to mount any kayaks on there. I’m planning on doing that next summer.
universal for raised open rail bars not flushed closed rail style, quick google search on your end will back me up. not your fault, your style rails came into popularity on newer cars but these weren't designed for that style so the torsional grip is all on the end point when it would be gripping a whole bar
What a piece of crap! I have the right bars but I can't make any headway whatsoever with that hex crank! Feels likes the connection is stripped but it's brand new...Been turning that wrench for an hour and doesn't tighten. Taking this back to store
I'm sorry but these crossbars sucked. Its probably my car, but I'm kind of disappointed. I have a Kayak rack I wanted to put on too. Good thing I can return them. $85 is too much to pay for stuff this bad.
I agree. They are good for light stuff but I wouldn't recommend them for heavy loads or something that will encounter a lot of wind resistance such as kayaks.

Great video thanks for sharing your experience
Just a question. How did it hold up. I have closed roof rails on my car too and not sure if i should take this roof rack back?

What size hex tool ?
Thanks just bought one thanks to this video for a 2020 Hyundai Kona let’s pray it holds both kayaks 😂
Did it? Just got one 😂
@@Caynine17420 works great I still have it and still use it
@@Caynine17420 how about for you? Considering getting one for two kayaks

Have you added any cargo baskets on yet? I bough one for my car (flushed rails) and I’m curious how it handles
Haven't tried a cargo basket to be honest.
Incorrect. You can use this style of roof rails. Just can’t use low profile.
Cleared up for me that you need to unlock the locking side to access the hex nut, but you know by now these are for going under the rails.
Thank you
those cross bars aren't designed for that style roof bars, not safe
They're universal so they fit but I agree they don't stay as sturdy on these as they do on those raised roof rails.

they make budget ones for your style bars too
That gap tho

@@DIYMaistor Thanks. I’ll admit I’m not the most handy guy either, but sometimes stuff just doesn’t work.
Very dangerous. DO NOT FIT THESE BARS TO THESE RAILS.
Correct, they are meant for the raised roof rails but unfortunately the manufacturer doesn't specify that so I installed them here at that time.
