MAXXHAUL 50506 64" x 39" x 6" Heavy-Duty Universal Steel Roof Rack , Black

5 stars to offset the 1 star reviews. This rack is worth every penny. Pros: It's easy to assemble It's affordable It's sturdy and well made It's sleek without looking "space shipish", I appreciate it's lower profile Cons: it's heavier than expected, but that speaks to how well it's made. It was incredibly simple to assemble. Several reviews mentioned water getting in the tubes and screws being too short, so I sealed the tube unions with butyl rubber tape (for sealing metal roofs) and the screws I used the butyl tape instead of the washers. Even then with the rubber sleeves installed I don't see water being an issue... Rust? It's has pretty thick powder coat, I don't expect that to be an issue...and if it is...big deal, it's a $100 rack. If it rusts I'll take it off, clean it up and coat it in truck bed liner U bolts were a bit long, but were easy to cut flush with the finger nuts used to secure it. As for excessive wind noise...all racks are going to cause noise, but frankly I didn't really notice anything extra. Very happy with it

I have had this rack for over three years now and used it heavily. It attaches easily and the profile and design is nice. After three years in a hot climate, the paint wore thin, but this morning spray painted it with flat outdoor spray paint and it looks good as new. I love this rack and a great deal!

For the price it does the job. I drove 4K miles of dirty wet winter riding after installing it and it has held up well. The basket fits my 2021 Audi Q3 with factory bars with ease. I was able to easily add three decent size pieces of luggage and I used a dry bag. My qualms is that the screws supplied are crap and easily strip so be careful. I haven’t had any signs of rust but many people have shown the basket starts developing surface rust along the welds. The basket is light which makes it easy to lift. The aerodynamics I would say are bad. Too many open spots that create a ton of wind noise. The noise is bearable when at 50mph but anything greater the noise becomes very loud but this will depend on your noise tolerance. The rack fits on my aero bars but the hardware has no locking mechanism if that matters and I found the clamping hardware to be a but tedious to install trying to clamp each side evenly. Once installed though the rack is rock solid and isn’t going anywhere. Again for the price this costs a fraction of what a high end Yakima or Thule basket would cost yet essentially does the same job. The 150lb weight limit is fine for me but might be limited for others.

First off, I bought this a little worried off some of the one star reviews. But I figured I’d give it a try for how cheap it is. The one star reviews say some of the following: Leaks water into pipes Rack makes A LOT of noise Rack rusts and doesn’t seal Rack is very hard to put together All of the above is wrong flat out. First off, it’s insanely easy to put together with a screwdriver and a rubber mallet. I was able to put this rack together by myself in 30 minutes. The only reason it took 30 minutes is because I didn’t read the directions at first and had to put the rubber slips on. Which leads me to, the people that said it doesn’t seal, must have failed to put it together correctly. The rubber slips seal the parts of the rods that go together, so water can’t get inside the tubes. The screws come with rubber washers, which also do the above. Now I did also seal the connections between tubes with silicone as well, because why not have extra protection. The rack does make some noise, but it’s not so loud you can’t have a conversation. If you think strapping a rack to your roof, that catches the wind won’t make any noise, you have a lot more issues with yourself than this rack. People saying their rack flew off literally didnt tighten the rack down correctly. I placed the rack on my Subaru crosstrek, and hand tightened all the nuts. Came back the next day, and then winched down the nuts with channel locks after the threads of the bolts and nuts relaxed and loosened up, as all threads do. After a 1200 mile trip, with rain and snow in some areas, the rack is still one with the car. I can grab it and literally try to move it and the car just moves instead. As for water, I broke the silicone seals when I get home and took it apart just to see, and the internals are bone dry. No water at all even through moderate rain storms driving 80 mph. Another review mentioned bolts being so long they scratched the tip of the car. First off if the bolts scratched the top, you put the bolts on upside down. Watch the YouTube video or read the directions, the bolts face upward away from your car. That being said they are long for my roof rack cross bars. But remember this is a universal roof rack basket, it has to accommodate very thick cross bars also. If the length bothers you, simply go to Home Depot and buy shorter bolts for $2. Or angle grind off the excess as I did. That being said, you have to keep in mind this is a rack that’s less than $100. It’s going to be a $100 rack. That doesn’t mean it’s junk, just simply don’t compare it to a $400 Thule, because it’s not a $400 Thule. It’s a very strong roof rack for under $100. And it does everything that you will use it for, just so long as you don’t try and overload it past it’s weight rating. To sum it all up, for less than $100, this rack is amazing. It’s strong, extremely light, super easy to put together, and with a little extra silicone and time very easy to seal up for poor weather. Remember, hand tighten nuts, wait a day for the threads to settle, then Chanel lock them down. Buy this rack, and enjoy your cars MPG, while still having great cargo space.

Great product, went together easily and not too heavy so I can install it myself.

I read the other reviews first and concur with almost all that was mentioned. For the price, this is a great rack. First thing I did was cover all welds with black silicone. Next I put on a few coats of flat black chassis coat rubberized spray on. Next I assembled - and was ready thanks to other reviewers - two holes did not line up properly, so I drilled and finished connecting (of note, I put locktite on each screw prior to installing). Next up, I slid the sleeves over and sealed each sleeve with black silicone to ensure water stays out. I then removed the factory decal, which was already peeling (used adhesive remover- cane right off). I then removed the front plate, rubberized front rails, then cleaned the plate area with alcohol and sprayed the front plate). I let all dry for around 16 hours, then reinstalled front plate and put black silicone over those screws. I then sprayed over the screws and silicone with rubberized spray. Let’s that fray a few hours, then put the rack on the vehicle. All in, 1.5 cans of spray was used (I was generous when painting). Factor in the cost of paint and silicone added around $30 and at this price point, it is an incredible deal (you would most likely need to do to any rack purchased (i have had to do to others I’ve had on other vehicles, and those were nearly 5 times this price). I plan to add a decal at some point (weighing my options). Installing on vehicle was straightforward and simple. I used a lot of strength pulling on rack and also drove with a cooler on roof as a test run - seems very stable. Is all of the aforementioned necessary - not sure, but I want to take preventive measures against rust (paint out of the box was definitely lower quality, but at this price, I didn’t mind doing a little work and was prepared thanks to other reviews). Yes, I recommend. Take your time, don’t rush, and with a little work, you’ll have a rack well worth the time and starting price.

I really like this roof rack. It looks nice on my 2020 RAV4. I read other reviews about it rusting, so I coated it twice, once with truck bed spray, and another with a glaze to make it shiny again. I also had to get different screws, same size but I needed something more than a screw driver to put it on. So I got some that use a ratchet. worked like a charm. Other issue, had to do with the rubber stoppers that go on top of the UBOLTS. I tighted it well, and then the top of the UBolts were to long for the stoppers. I pushed them down as much as I could. Will use a rubber mallet on them tomorrow, but if I cant get them to go flush, so the air doesnt take them off, I may try to find some other ones that are a bit longer. But... I really like it. seems just right size to me. I got a cargo bag that fits it perfectly. So it is worth the money, even tho I had to do some extra things for it. I would buy it again. And use all the same precautions. I would also recommend it to others. Just make sure you take the extra steps. I have only just put it on, and it will be raining all night and day tomorrow, will see if I have protected it enough to prevent rust in the next month. And I will be back.

This roof rack is reasonably priced and very east to install. And great looking with an exception. I understand the need to advertise Maxxhaul, but seriously, do you need to make the logo in 4" high fonts and the entire width of the rack....? It took less than 30 minutes to put together and install. The supplied brackets fit nicely with our factory cross bars and tightened securely. The rubber grommets supplied to "seal" the screws that hold the sections together don't allow you to tighten the screws without the grommet popping off. There is however a rubber sleeve to cover the screw connections and section seams. The instructions state to coat with grease which surprise is "Not Supplied" and to slide over the seams. I presume the grease is to prevent the screws from rusting, because the rubber gaskets slipped over them very easy without grease... so much so that I'm sure water can penetrate. The screws are cheap, you know the kind that strip with any kind of torque applied. They will undoubtedly rust. However, understanding at this price point there will be compromises I wasn't too concerned. So how'd did things hold up after its first use? If you are expecting the paint coating to be durable, be forewarned, you will have to paint this rack. After one use (Burley Bike Trailer with bungees) the paint is chipping off and the rack is rusting. Definitely not a rack that you would leave on permanently without some intervention. Unless rust is your thing. I'm not unhappy, this rack is still several hundred dollars cheaper than a "name brand" rack and will serve its purpose.... After I purchase a few can's of bed-liner paint to prevent the rust and subdue the advertising.

Got this for a fiat doblo xl, works a treat. Well made and easy to install. Does a great job.

Exactly as described. Strong and stylish. Very simple to put together. Great price . Would highly recommend.

Bought this summer for our VW Atlas Cross Sport and it fits great and is very well made. We were able to put a carry case and several camp chairs in it and had no issues. You do get a bit of road noise from it, but it didn't bother us. We put a piece of plywood between our carry case and the basket so that the bolts wouldn't damage our bag. It worked great.
