Review: Looks cool and works great - and all for a small investment! - Per the reviews I read here, I purchased the things people suggested - 2 cans of Rustoleum paint, some rubber friction tape and even rubber grommets for between the wind screen and the rack body (to prevent water from seeping in where the screw and body meet). When the rack arrived, it surprised me how sturdy it was. What REALLY surprised me is that it came with rubber sheaths to cover the seams and holes where I'd read rust was an issue. I also noticed that the exposed metal on the mounting brackets (that I read would rust) was painted already. Maybe someone from Rola went on this site, read the reviews and I was lucky enough to get the next generation version of the rack - complete with fixes. Regardless, I still put 3 coats of Rustoleum on it and used friction tape on the seams beneath the sheathing and put the grommet beneath the windscreen. The rubber sheath was a little tricky to put on, but mainly because it was so tight - a GOOD thing. When I finally mounted it, I was certain it was as close to rustproof as it would ever be. Today, after 3 weeks of varying weather conditions and one long trip to and from Pittsburgh (with several days of rain), I pulled the rack off my truck to evaluate it. There WAS a small amount of rust on one of the brackets, where it looks like it got nicked somehow. Other than that, everything looked sound and rust-free. The precautions seem to be paying off - at least so far. A couple quick notes: - I've had several people comment on how cool this rack looks on the truck - a plus. - It WILL cause additional road noise, but nothing the radio can't drown out. - I highly recommend the Highland carry bag. It fits great on this - with the tie-down straps working great with the bars. It also freed up a ton of room in the cabin and kept everything dry. - getting the ROLA "spider web" Cargo Net is a bit of overkill, but once you figure out how to use it, it adds another layer of security. Final comment: This is a cool looking, effective product and I'd recommend it. Personally, I wish there were more aluminum options, but I'm not unhappy.
Review: Well made / good value - This is a stout, well made rack. Its low profile (but my Toyota Highlander crossbars are a little high) and very good looking. NOTE: I live where we only get 1.5 inches of rain a year (got half of that today) so rusting is not one of my issues. Consequently I did not paint or coat it with anything and left the factory textured flat black intact. Also; the packing was very good and I had no abrasions to the paint finish. All screws self tapped, went in fine with some Locktite added. To facilitate installation i warmed up the rubber covers for the joints with a heat gun and used soapy water to slide them on, fold them back and the fold them back again. This really was not difficult. I did remove the Rola logos (sorry Rola. No disrespect...) and mounted a chrome Toyota logo on windscreen. I did this installation by myself and it took me about 3 hours total, including clean up. Summary: awesome product / good value

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy Rack. Good Enough for Me.
*by C***R on June 16, 2019*

Shopped around and read reviews after reviews. Then finally found what I wanted. This one! The quality and the structural of the rack is what made me feel that I made the right choice. It’s well built and sturdy. The package came with the rack (of course), 4 brackets, front wind cover, and 8 screws w/ rubber washers. Installation wasn't bad. Mostly easy. Only struggle was placing the rubber sleeves that cover the screw and joint. Super tight. So get ready for some hand blisters your trying to twist them on. WD40 helped a bit. From all the reviews I’ve read, I’ve made some modifications. For security in both theft and fasten, I’ve stopped at a hardware store and added a washer & nut before screwing in the hand knobs that it came with. Before installation, I WAS going to paint the rack with a rust preventative paint, but the original paint seem good to me. So I just saved the paint if or when I do need it. Only a few flaws. Because of the sturdiness, the rack weighs about 45 lbs. So it’s a bit heavy. Make sure your crossbars on your vehicle are strong enough to hold the weight of the rack plus your cargo. Also, while driving at around 60 mph, I get to hear the wind noise hitting against the rack. It can be pretty load at time. So I might need adjust the rack better to avoid a lot less noise. Overall, I love the rack. I’ll try to follow up after a few months.
