MeeFar Roof Rack Carrier Basket Universal Rooftop 51" X 36" X 5" + Waterproof Bag 15 Cubic Feet (44" 34" 17"), and Cargo Net with Attachment Hooks, Ratchet Straps

I just put over 2K miles on the car with this roof rack. Does is make some noise when empty and traveling at highway speeds. Yes. Any roof rack will do that including cross bars. Did id make any noise when fully oaded at highway speeds. Sometimes. Depending on if it was windy weather or the lay of the land the road was going through. For the most part it was pretty quiet. The bag for the rack was heavy duty and easy to use. I can see why it would be difficult to use in freezing or very cold weather. It is rubberized material. It would probably crack easily if it was yanked on too hard. The tie down straps on the corner of rack were easy to use as well. I’ve seen a lot of reviews where people say if you pull them to hard they rip off the bag. This type of strap is not designed to be yanked down to hard on. It is designed to tie off the corners. The orange ratchet straps are the ones you crank down tight to keep the bag from flipping off the rack. It comes with two but I use four, two in each direction. The flaps have Velcro all the way around to keep it tight against the bag. Remember the side of the bag without the zipper is what faces front, so you don’t get water blowing into the bag. The rack was sturdy and I did not have any issues. I was loaded with about 200 lbs. The only part of the rack that I question is the assembly design. I would have made the insert part of the tube in each section of the rack a little longer for better support. The rack was assembled with a small screw and rubber washer. I would have a longer tube and a bolt with the twist knob to assemble the rack. I did not have any problems, but I replaced/modified the screw with the bolt after my last trip. I can adjust my roof cross bars to fit the rack perfectly so the rack brackets work perfectly. I line the bracket up against the edge of the cross bar so it can’t slip and the roof rack did no budge at all during the trip.

Clamps bend and do not support my roof rails very well. Paint scraps off easily. Nut knobs protrude above the rack.

Very easy to assemble. Priced right and all the extras made it almost a steal. I’m a happy camper with this deal. Mine came with a couple small scratches but touched them up with paint and no problem. Well made, easy to load (better with 2 people). Good to have a tube of silicone sealer for joints and screws to prevent moisture and rust formation which is what they recommend.

The basket was easy enough to assemble and seems very sturdy. The bag is a bit difficult to attach and in cold weather the zipper froze. I had an issue where in high and cold lake eerie winds, the bag ripped open and shredded. I contact the seller and they replied right away and shipped me out a new bag and a pad to put under it in the basket. I am hoping the new bag holds up. The customer service was exceptional and the replacement bag arrived within a week of submitting the complaint.

Very nice and certainly as advertized. Be sure to line up the screw holes as this will make that part of installation much easier. I did not use the included rubber sleeves for rust protection which is fine if you do. I opted instead for liquid electrical tape which also provides waterproofing and is easy to apply. Just a suggestion. I like the fit and function very much and it does look nice on a new Checy Tracker.
