Used this on our 2016 Nissan Rogue for over a week with a cargo carrier. It works excellent in rains and 40mph winds with our cargo bag in tow. They didn't move an inch and held tight to our bars and cargo bag. Great quality and extremely easy install.

It took me a couple days to get around to mounting these up.
I cannot understand the reviews mentioning the retaining bolts and locks.
It is obvious the locks are only there to prevent persons from accessing the retaining bolts. to STEAL IT.
with out the locks, an allen wrench and away it goes.
It took about 5 minutes to mount both of these onto the Subaru Imprezza 2013 with factory rails, That was with measuring side to side to get them placed evenly. Couldn't be easier to mount. They locked on pretty securely. I will be testing them out on the highway this weekend.
They were shipped in the factory box with the allen and keys. The box arrived in acceptable condition, considering the delivery service. Everything inside the box was in factory new condition.
Update.. 1776 miles in 4 days. 70mph on the highway. They never loosened or slid.
I couldnt tell you about any additional noise, as I have a hearing problem to begin with. And I actually use my stereo. No noise noted at speed in the imprezza.

I installed this on a 2014 Toyota 4Runner. The installation was easy and the bars appeared to be on there very tight. I installed a kayak stacker with 2 kayaks on it and while driving, one end of the bar slide out of the foot and the end cap was lost. The entire load had shifted to the right and the bar was overhanging the right side of the car. We were able to pull over and re-shift everything but I have lost confidence in this cross bar system. It also has a raised ridge area on the bar that every time you slide kayaks across it, it takes a little plastic off of them with the weight of the kayak.

These CargoLoc bars a a nice design & very strong. I used them to run a Sears 20cu fit Car top carrier on both our Mercedes ML500, my 2002, and our 2000 e320 wagon, with great success. The bars were a bit wide on the e320, but look just right width for the ML, which if you don't know is a middle sized SUV, about like a Ford Explorer. I held them up to my daughters 2000 Chevy Tracker & they would've fit those factory roof rails same as the Benzes. Ergo, they are quite universal in their fit. They sit an inch or so higher than the stock crossrails that we do thave for the e320, but that's no problem. Yes, they're not quite as 'Aero' as the factory rails. But whatever item you're going to mount on the rails will probably be creating more drag than these rails, by far. In my case a large-ish rooftop luggage carrier, but it sounded no louder with either type of rail. On our ML500, we didn't get any Mercedes cross rails and I refuse to go to the Dealer & pay $400 for a set when these are so reasonably priced & work so effectively.

I really like these bars.

Before purchasing, I read a ton of these reviews to know what I was up against. The issues that stuck out to me was the color and the whistling noise from the wind on the under side of the cross bar.

Ok. For $43 I can't complain. So I bought them. Right out of the packaging I was impressed. 2 keys that worked for all 4 locks. They seem sturdy. Simple and effective design. I did notice the "tunnel" on the bottom side of both cross bars. I figured this is what was causing the wind noise. So... I took some aluminum foil tape (x2) and covered the tunnel. It made for an almost smooth surface for wind to glide past, inside of trapped in the tunnel whistling.

Now the color. I have a white 2016 Jeep Cherokee 75 anniversary off-road package (charcoal grey and black molding and tires). I didn't want this silver look to the cross bars. So I went to walmart and bought a $6 can of matte black plastidip and painted everything except the clamps (3 coats). Let it dry and set for 48 hours, then installed.

I haven't heard any whistling from 0-85mph. They are strong enough to hold my rack on top of the suv. I'll come back in the Spring to update this review. That's when I'll start really putting some wear and tear on these bars.
