COWVIE 47" Aluminum Universal Roof Rack Cross Bars with keyed Locks Fully Assembled- Fit Raised Side Rails, Black

Getting ready for a Vegas trip. My wife always got a lot of stuff especially in the winter, so I got this and ready to carry the extra luggage. It looks nice and strong, very easy to install. Fully recommended. Now the only thing I need is a cargo box. XD wish me luck on finding a nice cargo box~

I have used there for several long trips and so far they are working great. I am very careful attaching them, making sure they are square to the top of the vehicle and tightened down thoroughly. The wind rushing through them makes some noise, and my gas mileage drops, but that is to be expected. So far, no problems attaching or using these.

I put these rails on my 2019 Buick TourX wagon. They are sturdy, easy to assemble and mount. they also have a good look to them. dropped a star because of a dent in one end that I quickly fixed myself and the plastic end caps and covers with the key do not fit the best, totally serviceable but could be better.They are a bit noisy when installed the "correct" direction, but i found that they are no more noisy than the rhino or Thule racks when turned around "backwards" rounded end forward and pointy backward, like an airplane wing. i compared them on a aprox. 1 hour drive of rural roads and highways up to about 85 mph forward, backwards and removed. That makes this rack a real value, as the Thule for the TourX wagon is about 600 dollars!

I bought these for our new vehicle (2024 Hyundai Santa Fe) which was just picked up today. I tried to install these "universal" cross bars on its raised rails and the first thing I noticed was the bolts were too short to allow the clamp to go around the rail. I ran over to HD and picked up bolts that were about 5mm longer and I was able to get the clamp around the rail. But...the clamp will not clamp securely to the rail. It will seem tight, when it is first clamped on I can grab it and shake the the car. But it slowly starts slipping then pops off after a minute or so. One side seems to hold the other doesn't. So I do not think these are trustworthy. Even if you think it is solid you may end up with a big surprise when everything falls off the roof. Unfortunately for me I didn't get the vehicle until after my return window closed, so now I am stuck with something that doesn't work, don't make the same mistake.

Even though measurements and the seller confirmed in the questions that it would fit a bronco sport badlands, they do not. I also received a TooEnjoy labeled product when I purchase a Cowvie. I see the two are associated but in the seller shop account but it was a bit confusing and I do wonder if perhaps the wrong item was sent. I’m still giving 3 stars, as I had purchased a Cowvie brand cross bar set for my previous vehicle back in 2021 and the quality was great, especially for the price point. With those I never had and issues with fit or sound, but it was flush rails with a lip. Check reviews prior to purchase to confirm fit for any vehicles with raised bars like mine.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to install very good product I recommend sturdy makes very little noise if installed properly looks way better than the silver standard rack more sporty

These are by far the best looking and sturdiest cross bar set I've used that wasn't from Thule or Yakima. I went through 3 sets of aftermarket/no-name crossbars trying to find a set that was built well and properly fit my P3 XC70. Not only do these have metal clamps, but locking covers are included. The price is great for what you're getting.Positives:-Comes with aero bars-The bases have metal clamps-Includes locking covers to prevent theft-The design is modern and it looks almost as good as the Volvo branded Thule bars on my XC60-Installation was a bit easier than other generic crossbars-I think they will actually hold the rated 200 lbsCons:-There is blue text on the side of the locking covers that looks cheap and ruins the aesthetic. I covered these with black tape-The locking covers are not secure enough on the right side and that can create wind noise and an opportunity for theft-Despite being aero bars the end caps are noisy and there is a noise like loud tires between 35 and 50 MPH. It's not super loud but it's a bit annoying in an otherwise quiet car.I thought about giving these 4 stars due to the cons, but honestly these are so far ahead of all the other sub 400 dollar crossbars I've tried that I'm going to stick with 5 stars on this.

While the rack did not come fully assembled as the listing states (every single part had to be put together), it was rather easy to assemble the brackets, keys and other parts once you think about the process of each....the directions have no words just pictures. I will say the key lock is a joke! You can pop off the plastic cover that the key assembly sits in and have access to the Allen Bolt to take the rack off using the key itself or any other flat object with little effort. The rest of the system is well worth the cost and time to assemble as mine has required no adjustments of the screws (re-tightening), the sturdiness is there if you want to carry kayaks, canoes or bikes. I have a 75 lbs fishing kayak and "standard" 35 lbs kayak and the rack does just fine when tied down correctly and using a J-Hook kayak carrier.
