The pros: Cheap, lightweight so as not to impact your total roof load limit of the factory suggested 150lbs, and easy to slap on and go.

Even though the item wasn't exactly what I was looking for, the seller's professionalism and quick response time made this purchase a good experience and I'm grateful for that. To make a long story short (you can get the long details of the application in my Great Basin trip thread), both of these cheapo roof solutions performed brilliantly and ended up actually hauling around 200lbs of gear for over 3000 miles on and off road.
The main goal was to carry 150lbs and not obscure the sunroof and not dig into my trip fund too deeply.

Mine did have a shoddy branding on the windplate in janky white paint: "MacksHall", but to prevent rust and increase cargo stability I coated the entire thing with two coats of textured Herculiner. Original sign was out he just replaced for a fake new ,so upset with this business and also very frustrated with all the lies in the announcement of the product.
Please share your love for the XV, post DIY mods, travel logs, and other awesome things you do with your car. Only complaint about the roof rack other than the shoddy non stainless steel hardware is the size- it is an few inches more narrow than the factory rails. The rubber liners for the crossbar clamps do not fit well and required a dab of RTV to get the to stay put prior to clamping.
When I got my first Bert the intent was to get it road worthy, take it on an epic solo expedition, then sell it for a down payment on a Wrangler. com/pd/MaxxHaul-MaxxHaul-50118-Steel-Roof-Rack-46-in-x-36-in-x-4-1-2-in-Fully-Assembled/1002890498" on this server.

Are you serious I bought this because the sticker looked badass but the day I put it on I washed my car and it started peeling and water got under the letters and looked like crap and it even rained and did the same thing 3. Added bonus- I plan to upgrade to a larger, stronger system in the future, but this roof rack is the perfect size for the roof of a Volkswagen Bug. Installs on most factories and aftermarket crossbars and includes rubber gasket to prevent internal rusting.
Great Deal
