Review: Does its job, looks nice - Easy to mount to the canopy shell, looks great. Strong. My two criticisms: The rubber strips won't stay in the underside ends. From the upright brackets to the ends of the bars, there is a few inches. If they come out, the rack whistles like crazy. Save the hard plastic measuring pieces they give you. I used those instead and they snap right in and stay, just cut to size. The plastic end caps can come out. I luckily saw them coming out, and used black silicone RTV to reinstall them and hold in place. No issues since. Can't complain about these little details with the cheap price, overall a great rack for the money. On my Gambler 500 truck, hauled loads of trash out of the woods with it already in combination with a Harbor Freight basket mounted to it.
Review: Excellent quality! - Heavy duty and EXCELLENT quality! Better than the 3 to 4 times more expensive name brands. Very good finish! I would buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality!
*by P***Y on January 8, 2026*

Heavy duty and EXCELLENT quality! Better than the 3 to 4 times more expensive name brands. Very good finish! I would buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated: 1 to 4 stars, See below. Horrible high pitch whistle and not compatible with ARE shell
*by K***4 on April 26, 2024*

Easy to assemble but instructions do not match the product. The provided T slot bolts do not fit into the manufacturer installed (Yakima?) rails on my ARE shell so I had to order a set from Amazon that do. Looks ok installed but sits pretty tall and isn’t as sleek as I would prefer. BUT the biggest issue and really a deal breaker for me is the horrible high pitch whistling noise they cause when you’re going 30mph or more. I do have the rubber strips installed in the channels as instructed but it’s just unbearable. I can hear it over my music with the windows up. I like my windows down in nice weather but with these that is out of the question. As much as I want to be lazy and just say “oh well” I’m honestly worried that over years of driving (I drive a lot) it will cause hearing damage on top of being extremely irritating to me and my dog. Unfortunately I need to find a box to start the return process since I tossed the one it came in and it’s needed for the return. UPDATE: seller reached out and made things right and expressed desire to alter the product to reduce the whistling noise. Hopefully they will do so!
