Product Description
Lund’s roof top cargo rack provides plenty of storage space for luggage, cargo bags, and just about anything. The basket attaches to factory or aftermarket roof racks without drilling or lots of extra tools. The thin-wall steel construction makes it lightweight and easy to handle…. More >>
When I first went to assemble the two pieces to make a whole basket, the tubes going from one piece (male) into the other (female) did not fit. Further investigation showed that the tubing on the female side was bent (not from shipping), and to make it work, I had to spend about 1/2 hour re-opening the tubes.
After finally putting the basket together, it came time to mount it on the roof of my 2008 Highlander. Keep in mind, before I bought this rack I contacted the company to inqire whether or not it would fit my car. I was told that yes, it had universal fittings so it would fit all car roof racks.
Well it did have universal fittings, but they were so simplistic that I had to spend 1 1/2 days, and trips back and forth to hardware stores, to make it work. The reason, even when the clamps were tightened as tight as they would go, the rack slid back and forth and would not tighten firmly.
To make it work (and I never did get it “tight”), I had to use a metal cutting saw to cut parts of it away, put jerryrigged blocks between the basket and the crossbar, and tape it tightly to the crossbar.
These problems would have been more acceptable if I had paid half as much. I can live with the imperfections in the tubes (since at this price I didn’t expect the quality of a Thule or a Yakima), but to have to spend the time and money to make this product safe to travel on my roof at up to 80 miles per hour, is unaccepable.
The only way I would recommend this product to anyone is if Lund puts a truly universal clamping system with it that is uncomplicated and easy to understand. Otherwise, be prepared to use extraordinary measures to safely attach it to your roof.
