Installation wasn’t as easy in the wagon version as it is for a cargo van, but it turned out easy enough, and is super functional.

This is a good, strudy, well built rack. It serves as more of a basic utility rack than anything else. Cosmetically, it looks like one, but form does follow function. Nothing fancy here, but thus far it has performed admirably, no trouble at all with up to 100lbs or so. All componets are well made & well finished. Hardware all appeared to be top grade stuff.The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 though..., is two fold.1st, the application was not a 100% sure fit for the listed vehicle. The outside, base brackets which mount to the roof top itself do not fit well at all and really cannot be made to fit well. Yes they tighten down fine and are secure once mpunted, but every one has serious gaps between bracket & roof itself and were ever so slightly too wide at the contact points. There is no way they "seal" up tight to the roof skin, which is kinda important, forcing me to add heavy amounts of silicone sealant in/around each, to keep water & debris from most certainly being trapped under each bracket. I was not impressed with the cheap, thin 'foam' disc provided for sealing the roof bolts either. ETA on their lifespan would be but a few months, given the brackets do not seal up as noted. These disc really need to be rubber w/ real sealant or similar, imho. I see the need to replace these shortly, once they dry up/begin to deteriorate, like semi-ridged hard foam does when exposed to the elements!2nd. You MUST use the included channel strips. Something I was hoping to avoid, as I have with other racks, but without them on this system, this rack will sing, howl & whistle loudly as you gain any speed over 30mph. By 55+ mph it was near the point you could not have a conversation with other persons in the vehicle.So, Not a subtle wind whistle, more like a howling ticked off kracken from the depths of mordor!Applying the rubber channel strips quieted it down thankfully.Wind noise with them, is now very slight and I have noticed no deflection from the rack while driving.As I said, a good solid, but very utilitarian rack system, nothing more, nothing less.
