Customer Reviews

doesn't stay flush on car
we used this product to secure the Highland 15 Cubic Feet top carrier bag, however the bars wouldn't stay flush to the car. At least 2 of the pads were lost in transit, and had we not tied the straps to the inside handles we would have lost our entire load. If you have a Ford Focus... BEWARE

Great Product, Very Satisfied
This worked very well for my Honda Accord 4-door sedan. The included hooks did not fit anywhere on my car, so I used a pair of ratchet tie-down straps with endless loops, running through the inside of the car. The endless loop strap is better than S-hooks in my opinion since the S-hooks cause the strap to twist and put extra tension on the edge of the strap. The rack is 4 feet wide with a 1" slot, so at least 10 feet of 1" strap is required. A pair of "Crawford-Lehigh 6312 12-Foot Ratchet Tie Down With Endless Loops" from Amazon.com worked perfectly for me.

Since the tie-down strap runs through the inside of the car twice, I made sure that the ratchet and end-piece were on the top/innermost part (with the handle of the ratchet pointing up), and the endless loop was on the bottom/outermost part. This way the ratchet can completely remove all of the slack. If the ratchet is on the bottom/outermost part, it will clamp down on the top/innermost part of the strap and leave too much slack there. The 12-foot strap was a perfect fit, with about 1-1/2 foot left over which I wrapped around the ratchet and tied off. Make sure the strap doesn't twist anywhere as you loop it around.

When threading the strap through the feet of the rack, run the top/innermost part directly through, and the bottom/outermost part back over and down through the narrow slot and then out again, following the directions that came with the rack. Make sure to leave the foot pad off while threading, because like others have said, if you follow the directions and put the foot pad on first, threading the strap will be nearly impossible.

I tightened down the bolts once I was completely satisfied with the positioning and tension. When installed in this way, the rack seems very strong and stable. (Note: I used this rack to support the "SportRack - A90095 - Explorer Box" (#B000UULZMW), so I placed the bars about 21-1/2" apart, an optimal width for this particular cargo carrier.)

Lastly, a few people mentioned rain dripping down the strap, so I put short pieces of sticky-back foam weather stripping across each strap where it crosses over the door's weather stripping.

Nice Rack!
I missed the capacity of our old hatchback until this turned our little Chevy Prizm into a lean cargo hauler. Pair this with a set of ratchet straps and you can't go wrong. It's really amazing what you can do with a small car!
