Re: Roof rack cross bars!
I am a recent purchaser of said cross bars from Ebay. Cosmetically they are fine. For heavy loading they are not. These roof bars have a sort of cam system that locks into place by sliding a lever over. The tolerances on the levers/lcokign mechanism would not allow the roof rails to full lock into the track. I have 2 70 lb kayaks and the rails would shift if I really jammed the brakes on. The solution was to add another set of rail tie downs and place them on either side on the rail. So in reality you have triple redundantcy for keeping heavier loads secure.
