Amazon Customer: I disliked the fact that I had to disassemble it in order to mount the crossbars on the roof rack of my Honda Passport. It looks great!

Booter 1%erBooter 1%er: I recently upgraded from a 2003 Ford escape to a 2009, same make and model. The newer one didn’t come with the rooftop crossbars, and the crossbars from my old escape didn’t work with the new one. I ordered these, hoping they would work, and they did. On a 2009 Ford escape, I can tell you that the crossbars stick out about 8 1/2 inches on each side from the inside of the raised rail. I and they’re pretty easy to adjust and install. From the time they were delivered to the time I had them installed on the car, it was maybe 20 minutes, including opening the box, unpacking everything, reading directions, and actually putting them on.
To install and remove them, all you need is the Allen key and lock key (both supplied). I like the fact that they have the lock so you can secure them to your rooftop, and when you unlock it, that also opens a little red door to the Allen screw used for adjustment. Once installed, if I wanted to remove them from the vehicle, it wouldn’t take more than two minutes to do. These crossbars work as advertised, and do exactly what I needed them to do.

Cassie L.: I have had these cross bars for about a year now and have been very happy with them. Install and removal are super easy (I remove mine in the winter and store them in my barn just because). This item and the J hooks I ordered to go with it have been the top item in my Amazon order history that I go back to send the link to friends and family.
The only change I've made to this, is I ordered some round weather stripping to push up into the bottom gap to reduce noise when going down the highway.

MonsaidoMonsaido: ¡MUY FÁCIL DE INSTALAR! Se ajusta muy bien, para lo que quiero transportar me sirvió mucho. Las agarraderas son de plástico un poco sencillo, no sé qué tanto resista en viajes en carretera. Pero para transportar materiales livianos dentro de la ciudad me funciona. 👍

MAMS: La verdad había leído muchos comentarios negativos, pero aún así me animé a comprarlas y comparto que fue una excelente compra no hacen ruido (solo depende de la dirección del aire, pero no es nada molesto) las use para un viaje de 10 horas y todo a gusto les puse un peso aproximado de 60Kg y todo excelente.

JonJon: 2018 Toyota RAV4 LE
I just ordered these as I did not want to spend huge money on other brands. 75.00 shipped to the door and the quality seems very decent. I did not have to disassemble them to fit my roof rails on my 18 RAV4 like the other reviewer mentioned. (Maybe the company changed the length of bolt)
Took me 10 minutes to install.
Anyways, seems good and sturdy and looks decent. Will update review if I have any issues.

thechiefthechief: Bought these for our 2008 ML320 so I can get plywood or other things that wont fit in the cabin. I don't think you'll find crossbars of this quality at this price: well constructed, light to handle, good quality aluminum bars. They don't feel light duty, I'm quite impressed, especially for the price. I've been looking for something like these to save myself the hassle of borrowing a truck. I haven't hauled anything on them yet, but based on how sturdy they feel attached to the roof rails, I think they'll handle the 150lb rating no problem. Very easy to install, 1 integrated Allen socket at each end to tighten to the rails, took me about 10min to get them where I wanted them. Next time it'll probably take half that time as I marked the rails with a black Sharpie dot so I know where I had the rack clamps attached. Outside to outside is about 52", definitely wide enough for plywood and lashing points.

Honest CanuckHonest Canuck: Great fit on my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. Subtracted one star because one cannot unlock and remove the key -- key is forced to stay in the lock while unlocked. Makes it just a bit more tedious to install/adjust than it would otherwise be. These racks are actually VERY tedious to adjust, but otherwise work well enough.

UPDATE: I have since discovered the "Eklind 91610 5 mm Ball-Hex Screwdriver" (available on Amazon) which is a much better alternative to the stock hex key. Adjusting the clamps is a lot easier with that.

UPDATE: After only 6-7 uses, these have died. The tightening mechanism relies upon captive nuts held in place by.. plastic. One of the nuts has stripped the plastic and now spins freely, making them almost impossible to remove or reinstall. On close examination, the failure was due to a cheaply malformed adjusting bolt with extra lumps of metal on the threads. When adjusted to a wide-ish with, the lumps of metal jammed in the adjusting nut, causing it to stop turning on the bolt and instead just strip out of its plastic holder.

NOT RECOMMENDED.
