Seah Hardware Universal Roof Rack Cross-Bars 2 PC.

These things are awesome. Bought since my car doesn’t have the roof rails or any sort of rack which I need for a ladder for work. Bough these with low expectation. 50 bucks and an idea. Install and build was pretty easy. Once all was cinched down I threw my ladder up there and haven’t worried since. I have pulled them off a few times and inspected for any damaged caused. None so far. Be careful if your roof isn’t super thin. If you cinch the ratchets down too much you will dent your roof. If only once for a quick second you should be okay. Wind noise is as expected. Look is pretty dope. Changes the look and helps it stand out. The whole thing is super light so add anything on top and you’re good. I have about a 50 pound extension ladder on it and it’s had no issues at all. If you position it perfectly it’s super stable and you get get anything perfectly level on top. I suggest making small marks with a sharpie for where your feet should line up on the inside of your door frame.

Works perfectly so far! Used it to secure a tandem kayak to my Prius roof, if hung tight for 2 hours without moving. Just make sure toput a twist in the strap or the wind noise is insane👍

🧩 Installation & Ease of Use – Very Straightforward Installation was quick and painless. The setup process is simple, and it’s just as easy to remove when needed. Everything feels pretty intuitive without any complicated steps. 🔧 Build Quality – Decent, but Not Premium The materials aren’t super high-end, but they don’t feel extremely cheap either. It’s somewhere in the middle—good enough for regular use, but not something I’d trust blindly with very heavy or long-term permanent loads. 🚗 Real-World Use – Works Well So Far In actual use, it mounts securely on the roof and has held up fine so far. For lighter to moderate loads like a kayak, it has performed well and stayed stable during travel. That said, my main hesitation is that it relies on ratchet straps for mounting. That makes me a bit cautious about long-term stability and anything very heavy or high-stress over time. 💰 Value – Strong Point For the price, the value is genuinely very good. It’s hard to find something this easy to install and use at this cost, especially for occasional or light-to-moderate use. ⚖️ Final Thoughts (4/5 stars) Overall, I’m satisfied with it for now. It’s easy to install, works well for my needs, and offers great value. My only real concern is long-term durability and how it would hold up under heavier or constant use. For occasional use on a Civic, though, it’s been solid.

Finally I can carry plywood in a sedan. Adjustable width and clear assembly and installation. Even has a ratchet strap on the webbing to install securely. It DOES go over the weather stripping of the door so it leaks a little in the rain but it's tolerable.

Even my low expectations of this inexpensive roof rack were not met. The uprights are molded plastic - which may be adequate for modest loads (no load rating appears on the product or literature), but disappoint nonetheless. A much bigger problem was that one of the two tubular steel crossbars, the three pairs of holes provided as mounting points for the roof uprights are NOT DRILLED IN THE SAME PLANE as their counterparts at the other end of the tube. So once assembled, the roof pads at the two ends of the steel tube are about 10 degrees different from one another with respect to the tube. So only one of the two pads can be flat on the roof, and the other will be only touching along one edge of the roof pad, and actually installing the system and tensioning the ratchet strap would twist the plastic roof mount or tear the plastic at the bolt flange holes, or dent the vehicle roof. There was no mechanism to contact the seller, only “self-help” instructions which could not possibly cover this problem. Without time to request a replacement (and no confidence that the replacement would be OK), I drilled a new hole in the correct orientation nearby the poorly-manufactured holes and made it work.

it is best to put the philips end on the side of your tool: passenger side always to the right, then driver side to the left so you dont have to switch tool hands it is bad quality but does a job. the screws are very low quality steel and will strip very easily rubber came dirty from factory instructions fairly useless, and rope loop may get lost under instead of through when on top of your car it will make wind noises

I made a modification to work for 2016 F350. I needed support at the cab as 20' sticks of PVC pipe would hit the cab or the clearance lights. The stock bars were too short to reach across the cab. Plus, the straps were too short. I purchased a 60" piece of 3/4" black iron pipe and drilled holes to match with the mounts. A 1" pipe is too big. I also purchased longer straps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DR87X824?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I can store the rack in my truck cap and use it when needed.

Easy to install, fits our minivan perfect. Bought it for an urgent trip where we were not going to have room in the cabin for everyone and their luggage. Stayed on with no issues over a 4500 mile round trip, even at highway speeds.

These roof racks fit my Hyundai Sonata and Hyundai Elantra perfectly. Installation was easy, and they feel solid and well-made. I haven’t had the chance to drive with them yet, so I can’t say anything about wind noise, but they look like they’ll hold up well. So far, very happy with the purchase.

These roof racks are an issue. I followed other people's advice and glued on the pads since apparently they have a tendency to fall off. The racks fit well and stayed in place, were easy to install and did stay on the car without slipping, and did carry our two kayaks no problem. There is a huge issue however that other people mentioned though. These racks are soooo noisy, giving off a high pitch whine, when going over 60kph. We tried everything, blocking the spare holes with duct tape, pulling the straps really tight, nothing worked. It appears the noise is coming from where the base touches the car, like air is getting under since tightening the straps reduced the noise slightly. Perhaps replacing the pads with something softer might work that will be snugger against the roof, I don't know. If you're just using these to move something around on city streets at low speed, these are fine. If you're going camping or on a road trip where you'll travel on a highway....these will drive you nuts!

This roof rack cross bar works reasonably well for light, in-town use, but it does come with some limitations. Installation was fairly straightforward, and once mounted, it handled basic, short-distance trips without much trouble. However, I did notice that it’s not as universally compatible as advertised. It didn’t fit as securely on certain roof rack setups, so it’s worth double-checking compatibility before purchasing. At higher highway speeds, the stability becomes a concern—it doesn’t feel as sturdy, and there’s noticeable movement and vibration. One downside I experienced was some minor denting where the unit made contact with the roof, likely due to pressure points and the way it sits. Because of that, I’d recommend being cautious with how tightly it’s installed and what kind of load you’re carrying. Overall, it’s a decent option for occasional, low-speed use around town, but for frequent highway driving or heavier loads, you may want to consider a more heavy-duty alternative.

Was secure enough to transport a 160lb septic tank on my roof, I drove across a long stretch of highway with high crosswinds and it didn't budge.

it is OK .Support for bars and rubber base need to be improve. Rubber base can be lost very easy.
