ARKSEN 64 x 39 x 6 Inch Universal 150LB Heavy Duty Roof Rack Cargo with Extension Car Top Luggage Holder Carrier Basket for SUV, Truck, & Car Steel Construction

This is a great large roof basket for someone who expects occasional use and doesn't mind a bit of wrangling during assembly. For the price, it's a great value, which is why I rate it 5 stars. Not recommended for someone who's looking for exacting fit/finish, or someone who's planning on leaving this on their crossbars full time due to rust potential.The good:* heavy duty construction, much better quality than other baskets I've seen in the price range* large size is perfect for my 2016 Kia Soul - when centered on the crossbars, the fairing is almost parallel with the windshield, and the rear is about 1-2" from the antenna. It basically takes up the entire roof, but that's exactly what I wanted.* great priceThe not so good:* assembly takes some work - it was better than I expected, actually, but the middle section was badly out of alignment with the rest of the basket and took some creative assembly to get it all to fit together. I also needed to use my dremel to extend one of the holes to fit one of the bolts. If you're not very handy and/or don't have access to anyone that can help, perhaps give this a miss.* rust - the quality of steel doesn't look so good, and I fully expect that any moisture on the interior will rust quickly. I used silicone caulking during assembly, and am hoping that it will last many seasons with some precautions. I would not expect this to last more than a year or two if left on full time, but for my use (about 4 weeks per year), I expect it to last about as long as my car.* poor directions, hardware doesn't exactly match up. The hardware bag is either missing 3 long screws, or has 3 too many plastic spacer tubes. Like the other reviews, you get enough to put it together, but hard to understand why they can't put in the appropriate number of fasteners.All in all, there are some serious issues, but you get way more than you pay for. Jut just be aware of the issues before making a purchase.One last note - it took me a while to figure out what the small plastic cylinder shaped pieces were (there were a total of six). They're not listed at all in the instructions/parts list. I realized that they were spacers to be inserted between the fairing and the fairing mount if you want space between the fairing and the frame of the basket. For example, if you install the fairing w/o the spacers and want to lash straps to the front of the basket, there's basically little to no room to attach anything. With the spacers, you get a little less than an inch gap, plenty for most straps or hooks. I only installed the ones on the top, as there were only three long bolts.

This is one of the best item I’ve purchased for my car. It’s well made and easy to assemble.It will help me transport lots of stuff when I go to camping. Definitely recommend to anyone!

I liked the packaging. The simplicity of putting it together. The 64" one looked big at first but once assembled and mounted it looks great.Doesnt seem cheap and all the parts fit and we're accounted for.I also had to flip the bottom piece upside down that mounts the rack to the cross members. That took longer trying to get it to fit right and not move than the other portions of the assembly.The only issue I have is when you use the smaller screws to keep all 3 parts for the basket together and the plates on the outside that the screw heads are almost the size of the hole for the plate.I solved this by applying washers on there with it so they don't dig through the edges of the whole and ruin it.Besides that I was happy with how quick it came and the quality of the product.I love the open spots on the plates to be able to slap some stickers on it!

Great roof rack. It’s very sturdy. Fits perfect on my outback.

We used this on a recent vacation trip with our soft sided roof carrier. I wanted something stable to keep the soft side off the roof glass to prevent breakage. This rack did the trick! It was easy to install, light weight but sturdy. Instructions were a little vague but I watched a video on how to install and it was very helpful. My husband had broken his foot so the installation was mainly on me. Very easy and basically all he did was tighten the “caps” to the brackets. The net was easy to wrap and secure around carrier and rack. The big hooks are removable and can be placed where you need them. During the trip to and from, checked the roof and nothing moved. We did not experience much noice either from the rack. Very happy!!!

I just completed a 2 month 8,000 mile trip and the rack and bag performed exceptionally well. I had no issues with the rack at all and despite going through some torrential rains the bag never leaked once. The zipper with the velcro fold over performed exactly how I needed.Assembly wasn't difficult at all. Knowing I wanted it to last I did a few minor additions by adding some rust guard to the weld locations and applying some sealant to the joints and any openings. It also spray painted the panels to match the color of my jeep. This didn't take any extra time and added a nice little customization and protection. The whole thing came together easily and was up on the roof without trouble.Loading was a bit trickier due to the height but the bag fully unzipping around the edges with a heavy duty zipper made it pretty simple to get loaded.I routinely haul kayaks and canoes on the roof and am used to some noise gping down the highway, I was glad to hear that even at highway speeds the rack was quiet aside from some expected noises.
