Rola 59501 Roof Top Cargo Basket Review

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.

Valley 90350 Roof Basket Cargo Carrier Review

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.

Valley 90360 Basket Extension Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered crossbeams, the basket, the extension and the cargo net for my 2010 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. I was afraID IT WOULD NOT FIT because I have the panoramic sunroof, but it all fit.It was all close, but it works. There is a fair amount of wind noise at 65-70mph, but not horrible. The basket and this extension are well made and go together easy. I am happy with the entire purchase.
