Perrycraft® - MB Gripper AeroWing 47" Load Bars

Unless you’re willing to drill holes in your roof, this is made to go on fiberglass truck caps! Don’t even bother looking at the vehicles that it fits! I’d give TRUCKiD 0 stars if I could just for suggesting this!

If you are a DIY and have a reasonable understand of tools and implementation. This is the product for you. The directions are straightforward and easy to understand. When they say hand tighten the screws they need hand tighten the screws. I have my rails installed with storage rack. Installed properly it's very strong. I reef on it and the whole vehicle shakes, showing no sign of wanting to buckle or give. It performs exactly as I want it to. And I saved a lot of money installing it myself.

So, overall I still think this is a good value for the money. But if you need something robust that fits well, you might want to look at alternatives. Installation is a breeze. The instructions and parts are pretty easy to put together, I think I got it all done in under an hour. You need a drill and a 1/8" bit, and a phillips hand screwdriver. Everything else is included. Fitment on my scion xb 2012 was weird because the roof tapers and has little channels in it. Basically, it's pretty hard to find a way to place it on the roof where the feet will fit flat. I ended up getting it done, but now the back cross rail doesn't sit all the way into the channel, it sort of slides side to side, so in theory it could slide all the way to one side and then it's not sitting inside the channel. I'll need to make some kind of shim to try to keep it in place, and hope it stays. So that's disappointing that their design allows for that to move into a not well supported position. You might not have the same problem with a different roof. The other iffy thing is the feet are just ABS plastic. When this thing's manual says the weight limit is 110lbs, I believe it. I was kind of hoping I could reinforce the bars to make it support more, but I highly doubt the feet could handle it. The whole thing is really light! So if you need to carry heavier loads, I'd suggest a different model. Aesthetically, it's perfect. It looks just like stock and makes the car look better than before. And I can't hear any wind noise (although the inside of this car is famously noisy).

Nice style, almost looks stock. The instructions could have a few more pictures to aid in installation but are easily usable. One of the end caps were broken when I received it but with a little glue, it should be ok (fingers crossed).
