Review: Well Made with Quick Release and Universal Mounts - The CargoSmart Rooftop Basket is well designed and engineered in the USA! Read on for our observations. THE GOOD: -- NICE QUICK RELEASE: The basket attaches in 4 places over the rooftop bars using threaded knobs making it easy to install and remove. - UNIVERSAL MOUNT: The attachments above have use plastic insert between the rods along with a U shaped threaded rod to affix itself around the bars using the thread knobs. The U rod is wide enough at about 3.5" to fit every bar I have every seen including the Rhino Aero Roof racks which are 3.5" wide. -- GREAT INSTRUCTIONS: It was a pleasure to read instructions written by U.S. engineers. They are accurate, easy to follow and with good illustrations. -- RUBBERIZED PROTECTION: The bottoms of the plastic inserts that grab the racks are rubberized to prevent any scratching to the vehicles roof. -- 1 PERSON MANAGEABLE: It is made from steel and weighs 27lbs. One tallish person would be able to lift and install. On taller vehicles a step stool would be required. -- RUBBERS SEALS FOR TUBES: to prevent water from getting inside the tubes rubber tubes are provide that slide over the 12 joints formed when assembling the basket. A good thought, but being exposed to sun, dust and weather I would not expect these tubes to last more then a season. -- GOOD VALUE: If this rack is in the $100 realm, as are other similar products. this is a good value THE BAD: -- AIR DEFLECTOR IS PLASTIC AND WILL BREAK EASILY. The air deflector is shiny black plastic and held on by small self tapping screws. The plastic will easily scratch and Im not sure I trust it being held in place with only the 4 self tapping screws. A bump of the cargo when installing into the deflector is going to break it or at least the screw connection. -- SELF TAPPING SCREW FAILED: To attached the tubes to each other a small self tapping screw is used. In 2 instances the screw failed to thread and would just spin. Probably would need to drill through and add a bolt to secure it. -- CAREFUL WITH STATED CARRYING CAPACITY: They state 125lbs but probably need to look more at the racks its mounted to for the limit. For example, the Rhino racks previously mention have a weight limit of 85 lbs. They weight 11 pounds and with the 27 lbs of the basket that leaves really only 47lb carrying capacity. -- CREATES MORE WIND NOISE: There is quite a bit of added wind noise. Im sure the deflector helps. That said just about anything you put on the roof will create added wind noise so this is to be expected for any rack. CONCLUSION: For occasional use to carry a small amount of weight (check your rack limits) the CargoSmart is a good choice that easily attached and detached and fits most racks. In my case which my racks I would be limited to 47lbs which is not enough but your racks may be better.
Review: Good, solid, easy-to-assemble roof rack - This product was exactly as described. It seems very sturdy for the money. They have done what they reasonably can do to waterproof the rack to minimize water seeping into the joint connections and causing rust. It was surprisingly easy to assemble. Just read the instructions all the way through first (so you don't forget to put the rubber washers on the screws before putting the rubber sleeves on like I did!). I used a little silicone grease (that I have for plumbing projects) on the joint connections in order to make it easy to slide the rubber sleeves over the joints. Otherwise, easy-peasy. A good value for the money.

### ⭐⭐ Works great
*by J***S on April 29, 2019*

Works really well once you get together. I had trouble putting together as the prices didn’t line up very well. I made sure I was using the right pieces but had to force together.
