Leader Accessories Roof Rack Cargo Basket with 150LB Capacity Car Top Luggage Carrier 64"x 39"x 4" Fit for SUV Truck Cars

My handyman put this together, but he said it wasn't difficult. It's very sturdy - no wobbles. It makes the car look quite sporty! I was curious about the new sound I heard, but it was just the air deflector pushing the wind aside. There was plenty of room to avoid the roof-mounted radio aerial. I would definitely recommend this product.

Fully recommend this product. Well designed, easy install. No wind noise up to 70 mph with windows up no music. Net works excellent. Have not used waterproof bag, but it looks like loading it could be a pesky job even though it seems like quality material. Rack with the middle insert rides great on my 23 Imprezza. But lining the front faring angle with the windshield puts the tail end past the hatchback hinge so the hatchback hits the rack when open. We were gentle with opening the hatchback so no damage, but I'm going to pad it somehow for protection. Gas mileage appears to be taking about a 10% hit from 32 to 29 mpg carrying a tarped bicycle on its side in aerodynamic position based on 600 mile trip over a cascade pass. Estimate only because lots of variables play in. Well worth the increase on a trip basis, but I'm taking it off when not in use. I'm going to try to make a hanging garage shelf out of it when not in use to make storage a plus instead of a negative.

Great basket for the price! Fairly heavy and not the easiest thing to mount by yourself but doable. Looks great. Was pleased to find the front fairing is actually metal and not plastic! Drilled holes into the fairing to mount my LED light bar and is super sturdy. Do the the shape and angle of my car wind noise is a little high especially with the light bar mounted but thats to be expected. Absolutely cannot drive on the highway above 55 mph with the moonroof open you'll go deaf but under 55 mph or around town no problem at all! I think its powder coated so whatever you do, dont set it down on pavement or concrete, it scratches the paint right off. Im using without the extension on it but am planning on buying one for my moms van too. Great product

Ok so nice but needs help! What do I mean? This is a great roof basket...it has solid construction, easy to assemble, very light weight for its size, has a low profile look...all and all a great roof basket. Where I knock it is similarly where everyone else has had complaints. The powder coating is no better than a dusting, so understand that scratches have to be addressed. Next, every spot where the cross members are welded need to be sealed. It took me two days to completely seal this basket. I wanted to make sure it lasted so I sprayed flex seal in all the areas the powder coat did not cover and then I used the brush on flex seal to fill the holes the cross members rested on. If you do not seal this basket it will rust. So far and several rain storms later, I don't see any visible signs of rusting. Still looks as good as it did when I took it out the box. I bought the 64inch version for a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Please disregard the light bar I was trying out mounting locations...I have since mounted it just below the wind fairing. Of course there is wind noise, not obnoxious but present. This is a good buy, and I noticed the price went up a little. Better get one while the getting is good. Oh, my box arrived alittle beat but the product was just fine.

This isn’t comparable to a high end cargo basket like Thule or Rhino Racks, but it got the job done. The assembly was quick and easy, if I had to guess, it took me roughly an hour or so to put it together and install it on the roof of my Subaru Forester (with the help of my father in law, brother, and nephew). The fabrication is pretty flimsy but it was good enough to hold light weight items like coolers and luggage that we needed to make space for on our camping trip. I wouldn’t suggest placing anything heavier than about 90lbs on it. The clamps on it shook loose after driving the interstate, but as long as it’s weighted down that should prevent it from moving or going anywhere. I don’t plan on making it a permanent fixture so I didn’t use any locktight or anything. The clamps are held together with screws that have plastic bearings over them so the best you can do is hand tighten them as hard as you can with three fingers and hope for the best. Overall because of the price to quality ratio I give it 4 stars.

I purchased this to install on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The roof rack did arrive in a damaged box, but that did not affect the contents inside. Instructions and all hardware to assemble and install were included and easy to understand. Assembly was simple, it took me by myself about an hour to do. One note - the fairing holders are two different sizes - make sure you put the smaller ones on top, and the larger ones on the bottom (the last step in assembly). The instructions aren't clear in pointing that out. Once assembled the rack was very sturdy and solid, it didn't feel loose at all at the connection points. Installation on my vehicle was also easy. I did it by myself and took about 30 minutes. Once placed up on the roof and centered, simply attached the 4 hold downs as shown in the instructions and it's done. I put them on loose at first, re-centered the roof rack, and then tightened them all down. It's mounted nice and solid to the existing roof rack with no play or wiggle at all. This was a great purchase that was easy to assemble and install. I've added some pictures to show the finished product installed on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
