Lockable Roof Racks for Audi Q3 2019-2024, Anti-Theft Black Cross Bars, Roof Bars for Road Trip Storage and Off Outdoor Gear

Great price and quality material fits on Mazda CX50 easy to assemble highly recommended for drivers needed the roof crossbars!

Once installed they loo really good.Installation was not without its challenges. First you really need a cordless screwdriver with the correct bit for the install screws. Having that made the install a lot easier.The install went smoothly. The bars on not really adjustable in width. There is some wiggle room there but because the bars are screwed into the assembly you are limited by the location of the screw holes. I set them at maximum width and just moved them back and forth on the roof until the width of the rood and the width of the rack were equal. There is one bar that is longer than the other. Put that one in front. The cross bars themselves also have a front and back. Pay attention to that during installThe problem I had was getting the covers back on. The rotating lock would not go back all the way into the receptacle. Two of them made it back in. The other two required a file to trim back the rotating piece itself and even them I used a rubber mallet to persuade the rotating piece to engage.I will only take them off under duress. If there was a way to put the covers back on without locking them I would have done that. I was afraid of losing the covers if they were not locked.I am only using them to move my surfboard or SUP to the beach which is 5 minutes away. Regardless of the install problem I still like them. I saw Lexus roof rack for about twice the price. These look just like themCordless screwdriver, some silicone spray, rubber mallet , metal file. They look good and the are certainly secure

Good crossbars. These fit the Santa Cruz well and are easy to install, with good 2-page directions for a rather simple process. Note that for mine, unlike as pictured by others here where bolts are shown in the plastic bag of parts, the 4 adjustment bolts for the long bar width adjustment were pre-installed in the long cross bars, and since two of those bolts were pre-installed a bit cross-threaded, this gets 4 stars instead of 5.

Build quality and fit is great! There is clearance for the sunroof if you have it and the noise level is low to non existent.

First, I hadn’t seen another review mention this, but it will save you a lot of time. One is longer than the other. The longer goes on the front. The shorter on. The rear. Second, it says to install “where suitable.” Not helpful. Install them over the holes for OEM ones that exist on the rail. You’ll see them. Third,, when you are tightening the cross bars onto your rails, I suggest pressing down on the cross bars onto at the same time. Otherwise, with the bar not seated well enough, the cross bars clamp will slip off the rail. Lastly, don’t forget to tighten the 2 screws on the cross bars onto itself. If you don’t, your load will slide around when driving.I uploaded pics of the instructions that come with these. They leave a lot of context out, but are decent overall. Installation is super easy and once you get going, you likely won’t even use the instructions toward the end.Some folks complained about not being key locked, but how many folks are walking around with hex head wrenches in their pocket? Furthermore, the key lock portion locks the cover onto the cross bars. That means they can’t get access to the hex head bolts to remove the cross bars. So, I’d argue these are plenty secure.The look is great. I didn’t want ends sticking beyond the car. And I wanted black. So, these are what I chose. I’ve only driven around town with them so far and haven’t had noticeable noise out of them. If that changes as I go to faster speeds, I’ll come back here and update the review.

The media could not be loaded. Easy installation. The instructions are concise, but clear. Assemble the bars and brackets, but don't fully tighten anything until you have them positioned where you want them. It was a little awkward tightening the screws under the bars, but you can't really pretighten them until you know exactly where the bars need to be positioned. The brackets clamp onto the rails perfectly. Nice snug fit.I used some blue Loctite on the screws to help prevent them from loosening with vibration. It drips easily, so be careful. I used a small artists paint brush to apply it.I was able to put the front bar directly over the column between the front and back door and there is still plenty of clearance for the sunroof to open and close.I would have liked low-profile bars, but they will definitely not allow the sunroof to operate. But I do like the looks of these bars. Time will tell how the plastic covers hold up, but everything fits well and snugs up tight. They feel really solid.Much more affordable option than the overpriced Mazda bars.

These riser and cross-bars are actually easy to install. For those of you struggling with the first step of removing the covers? USE THE KEYS!! A counter clockwise turn will release the tumbler and cover right from the riser frames. Lock comes off WITH with the cover. They don't tell you that in the instructions, but that's how it's done. If you have taken the covers off using punk rock power you have broken the plastic that is attached to the lock tumbler. This can be fixed by heating up a flat-head screwdriver and melting/fusing the BACK of the plastic cover together. Bob Ross that shea...

Worked out for a month then one of the locking covers popped off while driving, should have never popped off considering they are locked in place with a key... dont know what im supposed to do now. Looks awful without it. Also hopefully nobody got smacked with it when it flew off.
