Way cheaper than OEM, black is better than silver, well-packaged, all parts accounted for, clear instructions, torx screwdriver included, great seller communication, super quick shipping. Wasn’t sure what to expect, would buy again 100%.

Easy to install and good quality. Received a week ealier than original ETA. Fits perfectly on my Mazda CX-5 2021 GT. I am very satisfied.

I have yet to install on the vehicle. Overall the instructions are lacking in some clarity. Like literally, the printed instructions are blurry, but they do make sense. Definitely read thru them before putting them on the car. I have dry fitted everything…so far seems great. Nothing too tight. No raw exposed aluminium.Update. After looking at it in the box for approximately 10 days, I realized it wouldn’t install itself. Finally installed it last night. Definitely read the instructions thru, once, first. After that, install is straightforward. After driving on the highway, at speed I found no issues with exessive, or any noise.Installation was straightforward. A tool for tightening all screws was provided. (I now keep that in the glovebox). Tightening the screws that hold the cross bars to the top rails takes time, as the you only get a half turn on the screw with the use to the tool using the long end. It’s only 1/4 turn when you use the short end, for final tightening. I finger started the screws to speed things along. In total, probably 15 minutes, of which 14 minutes was slowly turning screws. If you have a torx fitting on a rachet, it MIGHT work, but I don’t know if there is enough clearance for that, unless you use a very long bit extender, (Which I didn’t have). Still based on initial install and travel now, I would reccomend.

This went to together pretty easy. I will say i used a special tool to install mine (90 degree drill attachment) I used it with a screw driver not drill but this was super helpful and a big time saver on install. The bolts are a bit close to the rails so using the small allen wrench they gave is very difficult( cant make a 360 turn with it so you need to take it off every 3/4 turn). I would recommend anyone buying this get that tool, its cheap and can be used to all sort of projects. The Quality of the rails is great and the fitment was perfect. The rubber gasket they have on it is a bit of a pain. It doesnt stay on when you flip them and it is super bendy, You just have to play with it a little for alignment. The only other issue was the parts werent really stamped well. There are 4 mounts for the bars and two different bars, one longer than the other. With a little observation you can figure out which are the front and which are the rear as well as which direction they go. For someone who doesnt work on cars often or at all may have a hard time figuring it out. They are stamped but mine were not stamped well or stamped incorrectly (two were stamped the same that were for a front and rear – one not stamped at all) With that being said don’t let that steer you from buying this product. Its sturdy, good materials, good applicator, no modification to the vehicle, and completely reversible. They are great for the price and with that tool they are really easy to install.

Roof Rail Racks- The instructions, fasteners, and hardware for the rails were great. They mention a pry tool for removing the factory rail channel covers, but there is no included tool so I used a hard plastic pry tool I had on hand. The fit and alignment of the 6 bolts on each side were very good. I had a small torque wrench to torque the 12 bolts to within the recommended 12-14 Nm range which is about 106-123 in-lbs. which is pretty tight and probably very hard to reach with the included hand tool. Took me about 80 minutes.Cross Bars- The instructions showed 8 bolts and 1 T-30 L tool for installation. They were both in the kit as well as 8 more mystery bolts that were 5mm hex head the same thread and length but with a wide washer head. The instructions show mounting the 4 brackets to the roof rails with 2 bolts each. But which type of bolt? Seriously? How hard is it to update your instructions to make sure they are clear? My guess is that the crossbars were originally meant to just “float ” in the side brackets but at some point they decided to make 2 holes and 2 fasteners on the end of each bar. They added the extra bolts and made the holes but just didn’t bother updating the instructions. Which is really just kind of lazy. They can do better for the money they are charging for this product. Like I was saying, it is not shown in the instructions at all, but there are 2 holes on the underside of each rail at both ends so it seems this is where the extra 8 “bonus” bolts go. I decided to use the 8 hex bolts that are 5mm on the bracket to rail holes. There seemed to be more room for their width than on the underside of the bars. They may have been intended to go under the bars, but since they are both the same length and thread, it probably doesn’t matter where you put them. However, using the included T-30 hand L tool on the 5mm hex heads will strip them out so I’d highly recommend finding a good 5mm hex head tool that will fit them better.

As others have mentioned, installation is a bit tedious. Once installed, though, they have been very sturdy and functional. Look cool, too.
