Complete Roof Rack System

Works well on my 2013 Toyota Prius C and is fairly cheap to purchase. However, neither measurements in the manual for the regular Prius nor Yaris were any good. The Prius C seems to have the door frame area where you'd mount this at around a 60-70% angle so I had to make sure L shaped mounting pieces had the best grip possible. To do that, I had to take the front down to 3-4 on each side and 2-3 on the back so that the rack gripped the roof properly and securely. I mounted a roof cargo basket and have had no issues with about 50-60lbs on cargo basket in test drives I've done. Nothing moved whatsoever and I'm able to move the whole car when testing if the roof rack is secured. Unfortunately, have not taken a ride longer than 20 miles with it so far though (bought it for a summer roadtrip). Points to mention: 1. Came a bit banged up from shipping. Nothing too bad but plastic on bars is chipped in spots. 2. Instructions are garbage 3. The mounting pieces come with thick plastic around metal to protect car. The thick plastic is great to keep your car from scratching . However, the doors will be harder to close because of it and you'll hear a pop anytime you open the doors or at least that was the case for my car. Recommend scrapping off at least some of the plastic off so parts sit more flush with doors and avoid popping noises. You might scratch the paint inside the door area a bit if you do it though. It's not visible with the doors closed and worth it to me but maybe not for everyone. Will update review with images of it on car around July (2019) and any more information I might have after proper usage.

I bought a Sportrack like this 3 years ago for another car I had bought. It was great. Affordable, easy to install, sturdy, and easy on and off. I just bought a newer car but unfortunately the old rack was too small for it. This rack is a product by a company owned by Thule, so along with their reputation and my past experience, how could I go wrong with buying another Sportrack for the car I just bought? Well, who would have thought Thule would have made this simple great product into a piece of junk. After I began installing this one I noticed that the recommended settings were all wrong for my car. Since the bars were of ample length I began to adjust it to fit but I noticed that the bars were all dinged up. At first I thought I had done it, but I hadn't done anything that would have caused and kind of damage to a normally sturdy rack. So I looked at the second bar that I hadn't even touched yet and noticed similar dings so this product was a return item put in a new box. I continued to try to make this one work by making the simple adjustments, but as I did the bars got even more dinged up indicating a very inferior product made of extremely thin metal. It is not the same sturdy product I bought just a few years ago. Apparently I experienced what the previous purchaser experienced with these very same bars. One might say, well just return it. Well, I am going through hell right now with Thule/Sportrack customer service. I ordered another product from them directly from their website and they never sent it but charged my credit card for it. It's been months with multiple phone calls and they won't cancel the order and provide a refund. So based on the piece of used junk that they just sent and my experience of them keeping over $400 of mine for a product they won't send; my suggestion to others is to stay away from Thule/Sportrack.

These work great and fit nicely on my 2009 Toyota Prius. I have used them to haul plywood, drywall, and I’m currently using them to hold (2) 100 watt solar panels. These racks are very strong and secure. I like that you can lock them with a key as well. Great racks over all and I’m very happy with them. I highly recommend them if you need racks for your car.

I like this roof rack a lot, however, I'm going to give it only 3 stars for a couple of reasons. I've installed it on my 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS Packaging. The rack was shipped in its own box, which ended up taking a beating with multiple holes and rips. The other problem I have is that the Rack seems to have been used. I base this on the damaged packaging and minor dents and damage where the rack is bolted down around the numbers/measurements. The Rack The rack itself is pretty sold feeling. There is a coating across the bars themselves and the 'hooks' have a rubber coating that does not scrape your paint. Unfortunately, the foot of the rack has a fairly week rubber pad that is held in place by 6 small plugs that fit through holes in the foot base. When you tighten down the feet, it squishes the rubber so it bulges out. I'm hoping it doesn't squish so much that it wears away and damages my roof. Another issue I have is that the feet/towers do not rotate or swivel or adjust in any way/ My roof line is not straight, but is an actual shallow hour glass. So the foot in the front both are at weird angles compared with the roof line. Doesn't seem to effect the grip on the car, which seems to be solid. The Manual Sucks. The only reason I looked at it was to get a general idea. My car wasn't even listed so I used the measurements for the Subaru Imprezza, I similar style car,. For the 08-15 Lancer, I would suggest 21 in back and 23 in front. But obviously you can use what works best. I test drove the rack after installation and found it to be incredibly solid.No rattles or shaking. I went back and mounted my 18 Specialized Sirrus on the CyclingDea "1 Bike Bicycle Car Roof Carrier Fork Mount Rack". Again, no rattling or shaking, it all felt very solid. The next day, my daughter and I set out to ride around the Golden Gate Bridge. I mounted my Sirrus and her old, heavy 04 Gary Fisher Tassajara and drove slowly and steadily. Didn't have an issue. I did hear a weird rattle and stopped and checked all bolts and screws and everything seemed ok. So I continued and didn't have a problem. Bottom line, if you don't want to spend $300+ on a roof rack, this is a solid buy. I definitely recommend but only if the buy goes in knowing that there are some quirks to the system. I do wish SportRack offered a fork mount bike rack that was custom to this roof rack. **Update** It's been two weeks since I've installed it and I've used it three times. Twice to go riding with my daughter to Golden Gate Bridge. Both times I had no issue getting our bikes onto the rack and secured. (My bike is a 2018 Specialized Sirrus and her's is an 04 Gary Fisher Tassajara). Both times, before and after the trip, I checked the wing nuts and the tightness of the rack itself and am satisfied that this rack is being held securely to my car. The third trip was with a single bike (Trek 7100 Hybrid) from San Francisco to Sacramento. Not once during the trip did I feel like the bike was in any danger. One thing I did notice, especially since I have a moon roof, there is a lot more wind noise. Not sure if that can be reduced with a fairing or not. I did, however, have an incident with the rack and it was totally my fault. Last weekend I took my car to the dealer for service and since BART is near, I decided to bring my bike and ride from dealer to BART station and from there home. Before and after setting out, I told myself over and over to remember the bike on top. And guess what I did? Forgot the bike on top. I slowly entered the garage and scraped the bottom of the roll up door. Fortunately, the Bike had minimal damage to the seat only, my car, the rollup door, and the rack were undamaged. The bike rack rail however was bent down. And this is fortunate because of the way I installed it. If you can see from the side view of my car, the back of the car rack hangs over the rear cross bar of the SportRack. So when the seat of my bike scraped under the door, it pushed down, causing the rack to bend down. I believe that if I had this bike rack more centered on the SportRack Cross bars, this would have damaged the rack itself, my car, and most definitely my bike. Fortunately, the dealer were extremely cool about the incident and even offered to try to bend the bike rack back into place. (they tried, still bent a bit, but oh well, they are cheap-$39 here on Amazon). Bottom line, I need to find some sort of warning sticker to place on the top of the windshield reminding me to look up and be careful! Through it all, the rack remained solidly connected to my car so I've added a star for build quality and durability. Definitely recommend this rack.

Not a bad product. Fits my 2012 Honda Civic 4 door ok. Will work just fine for transporting the kayak around. Definitely not the quality of Yakima or Thule, but a heck of a lot cheaper, and will get the job done. I haven’t driven with it yet, but I assume I will get a good amount of extra noise. We will see! Installation was pretty easy, though it took a bit of trial and error. It probably took me an hour to get it exactly how I want it. I took my time and had an enjoyable time with it. Note: the feet swivel, but not easily. The locks are very cheap, and could be broken pretty easily. The box says 130lb capacity, but I believe the amazon post says 90lb. I wouldn’t want to put much more than 90lb on top of my civic... Lastly, I will not be leaving it on my car all the time. I’ll likely only put it on when I want to use it. It would definitely cause leaking through my doors in moderate rain. 3/5 stars is appropriate.

2012 Honda Fit & 2012 Nissan Versa (both hatchbacks) We took an 800 mile right trip with a luggage bag on top. There rack worked flawlessly. There was a learning curve for getting it to fit well. Give yourself a few hours the first time. (I would do a test run before you need to use them.) Use the directions and measurements initially, but don't be afraid to adjust a little to get it snug and fitting squarely to your vehicle. Also, everything moves, even the rubberized feet. (Mine came with one foot angled the wrong way and I thought it was defective, but there is a channel for them to rotate. It was hard to make mine rotate. Thought I was going to break it.) This is not the highest of quality, but this is also one of the cheapest. You'll pay with less ease of install, but overall, it is a great value, in my opinion.

This is a review of the SR1010 model. Bought this rack presumably as a new, repackaged item for a bargain $73 and some change. It sat in the garage unopened for a year. Well, just opened the box today - no instructions, no packaging, pre-assembled, showing light indentations on the crossbars indicative of someone’s previous failed attempt at installation and subsequent product return. Whatever, what’s a few scuffs between us girls, right? Well... fast forward two frustrating, futile hours with my spouse trying to install this stupid thing onto my 2013 Ford Focus hatchback with a bare roof. Tried spacing the feet at 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 tick marks on the cross bars to no avail. The crossbars dented every time we tightened the crossbar adjustment screw at each tick mark. All the hardware and brackets seem to be made from steel, though there is absolutely no way on Earth that’s the case for the crossbars - they’re most likely aluminum or some other soft metal or alloy. Tightened the foot screws nearly to the point of denting the roof at each tick mark. Invariably, with a firm jerk in just the right way, the darn rack would just pop right off the roof. It says the weight capacity of this rack is 130 lbs. I can just picture my two 65lb kayaks, still attached to this rack, flying off on the freeway at 70mph towards some hapless car behind me... At some point in our installation attempt, out of sheer desperation, we went to the manufacturer’s website hoping for some sort of installation video or instructions. Verified through their vehicle compatibility filter that this rack does fit my car (I remember checking this when I bought it in the first place, but doesn’t hurt to double-check one’s sanity from time to time). Downloaded their installation manual... Guess which car is NOT listed as compatible in the installation manual for this model? MINE!!! Crossbar spacing and positioning is provided for Fiesta, Edge, Fusion, and Taurus, but NOT the f’ing Focus! What in the actual hell kind of bait and switch is this?! So, no rooftop cargo for us on the upcoming trip this weekend. There goes that. And, of course, after a year, it’s now far too late to return this darn thing to Amazon or otherwise. I guess we’ll have to think of some alternative use for this POS somewhere down the road. Also, like others have mentioned - security is nonexistent. There are two sets of adjustment screws in place for each crossbar assembly: one at the crossbar itself, and one at the base of the foot clamp. The locks go over the screws at the base of the foot only. However, as we observed over and over tonight, if just ONE of the crossbar screws is loosened a little bit to allow for movement, the ENTIRE crossbar assembly, with the locked feet, comes right off the roof.

Update. Went from three stars to 2. The suggested position to set this up from the manufacturer is flawed. They say to set the rear bars at 19". They need to be closer to 18" The feet slowly worked their way out until one side popped off on the freeway. Now there is a dent over my rear drivers side door. Besides that. When I wen yo adjust the feet to the correct position I found it very hard to do so. The plastic on the cross bars is cheap and gets all bent up. So when you try to make adjustment they just keep trying to go back to the notches made in the plastic from the original adjustments. I should have spent the extra money on a better rack. My car is actually damaged now. Will cost several hundred to repair. bought for 2011 Mazda6. Sport rack Sr1010. This rack looks nice and appears to be of decent quality. Those are the pros. The cons. Fitment first and foremost. I'm pretty handy. But this was a headache to install. Not as simple as throw it on and tighten it down. I adjusted the cross bars to the correct number and loosened the clamps as directed. Then I placed the rack where the fitment chart suggested. As far as I can tell, this is all correct. This is where the problems start. Once you start to tighten things down, you'll find that the clamps start to pull away from their proper position. As you tighten you'll have to go back and forth with a rubber mallet and tap the clamps back into place. Back and forth and back and forth. Once everything is tight and in place you still aren't done. After you put a load on you will have to retighten everything. Going back and forth tapping and tightening. If you overtighten you will end up pulling the clamps out and apart. Undertighten and they will wiggle loose while driving.

Although it does not fit my 04 Grand Am, the product quality seems great. I was hesitant because of the metal that would touch the roof/doors wondering if it would scratch and slide but they had that covered by having rubber over it to help with scratches and grip. Really wish it would’ve worked out for me as it seems like it would’ve been amazing.

Le quedo muy bien a una suzuki ertiga 2019., la recomiendo muy buena calidad.

Amazon did a great job at shipping the product I ordered. The product itself did not fit the car like it said it did. We had to cut off an inch of the bracket to be able to close the car door. Someone who would not have access to these tools would be very upset because the product did not fit our car.

Me llegó un producto dañado y en mal estado, para variar no se adaptó al coche a pesar de venir en sus especificaciones esto se lo atribuyo a que venia dañado o aparentemente de ser un producto usado.

The roof rack was very difficult to install. Followed instructions, measurements etc and used the allen key provided. Key was too small to tighten enough by hand to get the bracket to sit flat on the roof. Used my own tool to tighten but still found it difficult and concerning as it dented (not permanently) the hood when tightened down securely and according to instructions. I used the rack several times. The short local trips ( 3-4 time) were not a problem. The 3 longer trips were. Each time there was crosswind of 25 - 50 km. And on each of those trips the drivers side front J rack bracket would loosen on the cross bar and the front of the kayak would slide precariously all the way over to the edge. I would stop, reposition, retighten and continue until it would start sliding again. The last trip I was stopping every half hour to reposition and retighten. One rack was a folding rack and the other solid. This problem was with the folding J rack that was purchased with the roof rack. The solid rack was purchased from a local store as the delivery for a second folding rack was 2 months on Amazon. The end result is a crossbar that is collapsing and a j rack bracket that does not hold. I attempted a call to SportRack and somehow got cutoff after about a 15 minute wait. I will try again. Whether it is a faulty bracket or a weak crossbar, they are all from the same manufacturer and recommended together for the car model and roof rack use. And if you think the locks are a deterrent for theft I advise otherwise. One of the 4 locks that came with the order was very loose when installed. i wiggled it while examining it, thinking that it would be nothing but an annoying rattle when driving down the road. I didn't have to worry about that as it fell apart in my hand. Its made of cheap pot metal and would never deter a theif.
