I was very hesitant to purchase this rack and could never really find any good pictures with my vehicle type. So I went ahead and took lots of side profile pictures of the rack. I thought it would look to small on my SUV but it's actually perfect. It does make some wind nosie at hwy speeds iwent to 80 mph LOL and you can hear it. It doesn't bother me as I'm always listening to music. The coating us actually not bad I may retouch some areas but it's actually decent. The rubber sleeves were a PITA to put on even with lubricant. 1 actually ripped a little. The rack looks good and bolts up nicely in place. If anything changes I'll update. This is on my 2020 Honda CRV Hybrid.

UPDATED: Oct. 20, 2021. (BELOW)... I have a 2017 Explorer with fixed (non-sliding) OEM crossbars, and I took the chance, given some mixed Explorer reviews.
I took a lot of advice from the previous reviewers"¦ I was initially nervous when I simply placed the constructed carrier, with extension, on top the roof on the crossbars. It teetered side to side. When looking at the Explorer from the aft end, I later realized the OEM crossbars, are higher in the center of the roof than on the sides"¦ the roof rack 'rocked', left and right, UNTIL I added the hardware clamps which actually evened-out the height difference from center, to the sides.

The U-Clamp Assembly supports leveled the high center point of my crossbar. I wasn't initially pleased about the alignment of front and back supporting rails, as the carrier rails were resting so close to the edge of the crossbars edges, I wasn't sure it was as formidable as I might prefer... (see the pictures). Yet with the cranked-down U-Clamp-Assembly, it seems unmovable. (I wish there might be better shaping of the U-Clamp-Assembly for my specific vehicle, yet for the cost, I'm okay with it for now.)

EXTRA STEPS I TOOK...
There are some fabulous $800 rooftop storage solutions, and I feel I looked at dozens and dozens, but I kept circling back to the robust and seemingly fair cost of this roof rack. I drive Chicago salted roads, so I decided to follow the prior reviewer's suggestions, to add (304) stainless screws, and taping the ends of the interlocking tubes, and double-coat painting the brand new rack for added rust resistance with '3M Professional Grade Rubberized Undercoating' on the outside. I'm not sure my extra effort was needed though...
There were earlier reviews suggesting indications of rust over time"¦ Yet I was impressed that it seemed the inside of the tubing beings had been well painted. I saw no bare steel inside, although one can only see a few inches.

The comments about the rubber tubing being 'made by satan himself', not far off the mark. (I should have tried the liquid soap idea. Cautious use of a heat gun did help a bit. Our weather in Chicago was snowy this week, and I had to move the project from the garage, to the house, since the rubber joint covers were cold and less malleable).

I did take a reviewer's suggestion of removing the logos. (Sorry Rola).

I typically search Reviews using 'Most Recent' so I can see indications of improved manufacturing techniques. I did see improvements with Rola.

The screw hardware from Rola seemed good, and the U-Clamp-Assembly (as I call it) was awesome. I added a M8-125 (304 marine grade) self-locking nut, as a stop nut, to each knob.
I saw my box came well protected with an outer brown box sleeve that was push along the snow on the driveway by the shipper. Box was in great shape regardless and all internal parts and box within the main box was cleverly (plastic) wire-tied with one of the biggest wire-ties I've seen in a while. Also, the two piece rack was smartly wire tied to everything else so my unit had no scratches.
SO far pleased. If needed, I'll return more insights.

(Thank you prior reviewers. Your tips were helpful, and I appreciate you taking time to share your insights and suggestions.)

OCT 20, 2021 REVIEW ADDITION...
Well, is nearly two years later and I'm still enjoying this Rola Roof rack with the painting and hardware upgrades I applied before I installed it in Dec 2019 (I think). Additional NOTE: The suggested '3M Professional Grade Rubberized Undercoating' applied to the outside became chalky by Spring 2020 and thought I may have had to get the rack professionally painted. A car body shop gave me an estimate ($650 to $725) to paint the rack alone in a paint room. I declined. INSTEAD I decided to use Ace Hardware BBQ spray paint. WHICH WORKED GREAT! Perfect look. I didn't prep the rack before applying the Ace BBQ spray paint, which still looks great (like new) even after a full summer parked in the sun in Greenville, SC area, and it's blazing hot down here (moved away from Chicago aft 40+ years). So maybe due to the original toughness of the '3M Rubberized Undercoating' on the outside but this rack, and the ACE BBQ paint, (now my favorite black spray paint), the rack is one of my appreciated purchases.
I'm updating this post as I saw a more recent buyer/reviewer note his cleverly use of an 'expanding foam' to keep water from later infiltrating the inside steel. I would likely do that to a prep a new rack as pre-2019 review cited that rust was a culprit from the inside out. I haven't experienced that as I was very careful to seal each possible entry point. BTW - I used Stainless 304 screws and heavyier Rubber washers to keep a full seal of the screws into the frame so (hopefully) no water gets inside.
(Maybe Rola has learned from the earliest reviews to 'undercoat' the inside of their Racks. I like the expanding foam idea. (thoughts?) - Thanks all. -tg

Really can't ask for more for the money. I mounted mine with the 4x4 innovations mounting hardware for the 4Runner, which allows the rack to sit a good bit lower than the stock mounting hardware. Road noise is pretty minimal and its very minimally impacted fuel economy. I thought the dimensions would be too small for what I wanted, but I'm really happy with how much it can fit. In the picture I have some recovery gear and tools in a heavy duty tote and a 5 gallon jerry can with plenty of room to spare.

Going to the beach for a long term vacation necessitates packing a lot of stuff, especially if you're bringing a family of four. One of the things I hate having take up space in my vehicle is the assortment of pop-up canopies, beach umbrellas, boogie boards and beach chairs. So, I started investigating reasonably priced roof-top carriers. Anything made by well-known brands like Yakima and Thule are absurdly priced, so I was happy to find this Rola basket, which is right in the sweet spot for me.

I was initially attracted to one of the larger, 64" units, since my canopy is 51" long when stowed in its case, but it seems that those carriers require a lot of flexibility in the way the crossbars are mounted. I have a 2019 Acura MDX with a factory roof rack and crossbars, which are fixed in place. Looking through the product descriptions here and on the manufacturer's site, I didn't see any such disclaimers about the span between the crossbars, so I opted for this design after spending days comparing various similar products.

This basket arrived well-packed and was easy to assemble. There are rubber covers for the joints to prevent water intrusion, and all screw holes are covered by rubber washers when assembled. For that reason, I chose not to silicone the joints as others have eluded to, as I don't intend to keep this installed permanently. I can't speak to long-term rust prospects, but by the end of the second week of our oceanfront stay, no rust drippage was evident. The powder coating seems to be well done overall and the basket seems rock-solid when assembled. I have no doubt that this thing easily lives up to its rated weight limits, though I didn't come close to approaching them with my cargo. My lone build-quality criticism (and it's a minor one, barely worth mentioning) is that the brand stickers were applied crooked and off-center, but that was of little concern as it was easily removed.

Hauling this beast up to the roof rack of the MDX isn't an entirely straightforward process. I'd recommend having an assistant to help you, particularly if your vehicle is on the tall side (mine is not, but it was still a struggle). I would recommend that before you get started, measure your crossbar span and make sure it lines up with the U-bolt mounting points. Unfortunately, mine does not and there is little flexibility on those mount points. Because I don't have crossbars that can adjust fore and aft, I ended up having to allow the rear U-bolts to be seated unevenly.... the manual warns against this, but as I have no intention of loading anything heavy up there, I chose to wing it.

On the road, you can expect wind noise... really, there's no way around it. I did not experiment with adjustments to the wind guard as others have reported it makes little difference. Driving about 200 miles, averaging around 75, you could definitely tell it was up there - if not, for the noise, certainly for the reduction in mileage. Unloaded is worse than loaded, and you'll generally start to hear it howl around 30MPH. Fortunately, it doesn't increase in volume much, even at highway speeds. My MDX can usually achieve 25MPG+ driven conservatively on the highway, and this (along with the bike rack on the trailer hitch and all the extra luggage weight inside the vehicle) drug it down to about 20MPG. All told, not too bad and well worth the tradeoff for added elbow room inside the passenger areas.

To go along with the basket, I purchased a bungee cargo net that worked well with this design. I wish there were more clip-able areas along the front lip, but I was able to make it work just the same. As near as I can tell, nothing moved and I had little trouble driving at extra-legal speeds, even with a bunch of stuff up there. With the basket and the cargo net, I'm really pleased with the new found usefulness of my roof rack. I rarely thought about using it on any of my crossovers (and I've owned a few, both with and without racks), but now I can see me getting a lot of use out of it, particularly for sand-covered crap I'd rather not have inside my vehicle. All-in-all, I'm pleased with my purchase. If I had one complaint, it would be the lack of flexible crossbar mounting options.... but that's more Honda's fault than Rola's. Even still, if they had some kind of an adapter that allowed for a bit more flexibility, this would easily be a 5 star product.

Perfect for my Subaru. Only con was the rubber sleeves that slip over the screws were nearly impossible to get on.
