 Car Roof Racks July 22, 2008
This item is of good use to me because I don't own a truck or van. I now can buy an oversize item and bring it home the same day, I don't have to wait for a delivery. I recommend this item for anyone without a truck or van
 this item is good, but ... June 9, 2008

This item was sent by the returns center of the Amazon. Its packing was broken when I went to the office of my apartment to take it. I think Amazon did not take care of its packing. In addition, it looked like its not in its original box, because the box was torn and they used tape to replace it. I ordered a new item but they send me not. I was very disappointed at Amazon. I will not order the other items from the Amazon if the price is not so big different from the other sellers.
Inexpensive, OK for short distances February 28, 2008

I wanted this mainly for securing plywood sheets and other long home improvement items. It is very easy to attach and detach; and seemed to stay in one place pretty well. There are four hooks that sit between the door and the car frame attached with nylon straps. If you are not going very long distances, I think this is a good buy, but for particulary long trips I would want something attached more permanently.
As far as the universal fit: it fits well on my 1997 Sentra, but I could not put it on my 2007 Mazda3 [maybe you can, but I couldn't figure out a safe place for the clips to engage].
It does make a bit of a whistling noise, but because it is easy to install and remove, this isn't much of an issue.
Pleasant surprise February 17, 2008

Given the economic price didn't expect great things from this rack however I was encouraged by the reviewer who had no place for J clips (me neither) and that a strap across the inside worked. I did the same thing and it works great with my kayak, nice and secure. Did have to glue the rubber pads on but that was no big deal. You do need to know however if you are travelling in rain, the strap gets wet and seeps down into the inside of the vehicle (hence the rating of 4 not 5) Other than that am very pleased, for me this works better than a permanent mount roof rack as I don't lose gas mileage when I don't need the rack.
Works pretty well as a kayak carrier June 23, 2007

I bought this bar carrier as an alternative to a very expensive and more permanent Yakima kayak carrier. This carrier worked like a charm once it was attached to the car. The hooks that are supposed to catch something on the door frame did not work with my Ford Taurus. There was nothing on my particular car I could tie the straps to, so I ended up improvising by using heavier tie downs, taking them through both doors, which left straps on the inside of the car, but it worked. The system seemed very secure on top of my car, and I attached foam blocks to the bars, loaded my kayak, and strapped it down. The kayak held securely with just the two straps-I didn't have to tie down the bow and stern to the front and back of the car. In summary, the bar carrier is a fairly quick, inexpensive, and secure way to transport a kayak (I'm sure it would work with lots of other things too).
