Rola 59109 Adventure System with Swing Away Review

Rola 59109 Adventure System with Swing Away
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This particular item is fantastic!Functionality is awesome!The box itself is a little hard to handle by a single person, but can easily be handled by two.For security, go ahead and order the locking hitch pin, for stability reasons, order the hitch tightener, and for legality reasons, go ahead and order the license plate relocation kit with light.Unfortunately, I was awaiting the item for an upcoming trip, and when it arrived, the hardware and swingaway was not part of the shipment.The customer service that I received following that initial call was atrocious, and each process and escalation procedure that was, or wasn't followed needs to be looked at and corrected accordingly.I am in the customer service industry, and was extremely disappointed, not only in the ways that my issue was handled, but the number of times that I was lied to by representitives of the company.If one more persons reads me a script of how they are the supervisor on duty, and that a manager is not available, I'm going to scream, and insist yet AGAIN to speak to someone in the US.Overall a very sad, disappointing customer service experience, and I will make sure that hundreds and potentially thousands of people hear about it.

I bought this for my 2007 Entourage.It serves the purpose and much cheaper then what you get from the car dealer.The only downside to this was that it came with no directions.Now the idea behind the roof rack is pretty simple but it would have been nice to have directions.

After this post I was sent the instructions.Thanks your company is awesome.Thanks again.

Roof Rack Locking Cross Bars Jeep Liberty Review

Roof Rack Locking Cross Bars Jeep Liberty
Average Reviews:

For the price you will pay, don't expect much.
The system to lock the cross bar to your roof bars, is not optimum, and very difficult to install.
The bars are light aluminium, look great, but are highly flexible. Something you would like to avoid on your roof.
Moreover, the locking system does not tighten the cross bars properly, they can slide from left to right when driving.
So, I guess you got my point,
don't buy these....
spend 3-4 time the price and get proper cross bars from thule or yakima.

Rola 59501 Roof Top Cargo Basket Review

Rola 59501 Roof Top Cargo Basket
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a pair of Rola roof racks for our Hyundai Elantra (which didn't fit well at all) and ordered this roof rack thinking it would fit to their own racks. Boy was I wrong. This is the biggest engineering fail I've ever seen. The u-brackets included aren't long enough to fit the mounting brackets they include *when used with their own roof rack*!I had to go to Lowe's to buy washer and nuts to replace the wing nuts they included that would not grab the threads (the supplied wing nuts, by the way, had they fit, would have stuck up about 1/2" below the bottom of the rack, resulting in four "posts" I would have had to pack around) . On top of that, once I finally got the nuts on (I had MYABE 1/4" of thread for them to "grab"), tightening the brackets down only served to deform the bottom of the roof rack, instead of settling nicely into place.

However, after some creative engineering to get it to stay on tightly, I was able to load it up with a fair amount of gear and bungee it down. It seemed reasonably sturdy and held up well to a 2,000 mile trip through some rain and wet snow.Overall, I liked the rack but was supremely frustrated by the poor execution of the mounting system.

Lund 601012 Black 37.5" x 56.6" Roof Top Cargo Rack Review

Lund 601012 Black 37.5' x 56.6' Roof Top Cargo Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I first went to assemble the two pieces to make a whole basket, the tubes going from one piece (male) into the other (female) did not fit.Further investigation showed that the tubing on the female side was bent (not from shipping), and to make it work, I had to spend about 1/2 hour re-opening the tubes.

After finally putting the basket together, it came time to mount it on the roof of my 2008 Highlander.Keep in mind, before I bought this rack I contacted the company to inqire whether or not it would fit my car.I was told that yes, it had universal fittings so it would fit all car roof racks.

Well it did have universal fittings, but they were so simplistic that I had to spend 1 1/2 days, and trips back and forth to hardware stores, to make it work.The reason, even when the clamps were tightened as tight as they would go, the rack slid back and forth and would not tighten firmly.

To make it work (and I never did get it "tight"), I had to use a metal cutting saw to cut parts of it away, put jerryrigged blocks between the basket and the crossbar, and tape it tightly to the crossbar.

These problems would have been more acceptable if I had paid half as much.I can live with the imperfections in the tubes (since at this price I didn't expect the quality of a Thule or a Yakima), but to have to spend the time and money to make this product safe to travel on my roof at up to 80 miles per hour, is unaccepable.

The only way I would recommend this product to anyone is if Lund puts a truly universal clamping system with it that is uncomplicated and easy to understand.Otherwise, be prepared to use extraordinary measures to safely attach it to your roof.

PYLE PLRD103F 10.4 inch TFT LCD Roof Mount DVD Monitor and IR/FM Transmitter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We got shipped a similar model to this that takes the disc in a pop-open back of the screen.In all other respects it is the same player so we had it professionally installed without noticing.I don't know if the 103F would have a similar problem, but it never did play a movie all the way through.Great, consistent picture, but toward the end of each movie the screen would go black as the mechanism started banging in the case.They were all new movies and it was frustrating on a 36-hour trip to never finish a show.Furthermore, the remote wouldn't work from most places in the vehicle without severely pressing the buttons (you have to get lucky), and like our previous player the RF/FM sound is barely audible at highway speeds even turned all the way up.We replaced the previous one (a Delco), which we had three of, for disc loading breakages.Just wish they could all make this mature technology work for us!

Valley 90350 Roof Basket Cargo Carrier Review

Valley 90350 Roof Basket Cargo Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I actually looked into building my own basket style cargo rack but really you can hardly buy the materials for the cost of this Valley Cargo Carrier. It's light weight yet very strong, great coating on it as well.

Extremely easier to put together, litterally takes just a few minutes.

The only issue is if your cross bars aren't very far apart. I have an old Jeep with a hardtop and the roof rack mounts are pretty close together. The valley basket carrier comes with four mounts to secure it to your cross bars. The problem I had is that I could only get the front ones on, on the rear mounts I couldn't get it to line up, basically I needed my bars to be another 6 or so inches farther apart.

But, this was easily fixable, I just went to the hardware store and for about 4 bucks got a few u-bolts and secured the back of the cargo carrier on with those. And the included mounts are built very well and even have quick release bots on them.

Overall I'm very happy and would still purchase again even with that one issue.

Highland 10391 Kar Pak Rainproof Soft-Sided Car Top Carrier - 15 Cubic Feet Review

Highland 10391 Kar Pak Rainproof Soft-Sided Car Top Carrier - 15 Cubic Feet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've had the Highland Kar-Pak since our first family trip to Disney World in 2002, and we've used it many a times since: trips to Disney World, trips to Gulf Shores, a few visits to Texas and, the big one, our evacuation from New Orleans a few days before Hurricane Katrina struck. Not to be overly glowing, but this thing helped us save a lot more since we could cram it full.

It holds a bundle, stores quickly, cleans up easily (bug splatter is no match for scrub brush & water, eh), is arguably leak-proof (never had a problem even through the worst rains), and attaches easily and securely (and not to dismiss another person's review/opinion, but the carrier box clearly stated "Roof Rack Mount"; however, I can see confusion with roof rack and roof bars -- those bars on the roof when you get the van/suv/etc are just styling until you add a cross-bar).

My wife came across this model locally in N.O. when we were searching for something for the roof to carry luggage on our first real driving vacation. We had looked at a lot of the hard-side ones, which were all extremely expensive and sorely lacking in capacity. She found this and we thought it might be a quick-fix but we've used it ever since and have no plans to replace it.

FWIW, a tip: get some big safety pins. Though you can tie the excess strap up it's easier to use a safety pin to pin up the excess. You don't have to, but the excess strap tends to flap in the wind and will drive you a little batty.
