    What's the noise like? How much clearance between the roof and the cross bars? My sunroof can't open vertically all the way with my baja rack, a small downside.

    I really like the way the bar covers the shark fin, but i wonder how it affects antenna performance. Wouldn't really matter to me since I never used any radio stuff...

    Interesting cross bars, how do you mount things?
    The integrated light mounts are neat.

    I had to cut one of the cross bars about 3/4" and retap holes for bolts to go back in. Other than that easy install. I dont hear any wind noise so far. The crossbars do sit about half inch from the roof top. My radio works just fine.

    Honestly not a bad rack if you want to save $200 to $300 bucks compare to prinsu rack if you dont mind taking the time to cut one of the bars and retaping. I forgot to mention I did also have to get 8 bolts to mount to roof. M6x1.0 25mm. The ones that came with rack were M8 bolts.

    Are the crossbars intentionally installed upside-down?
    Why no channel to use t-slot nuts for tie-downs?
