MaxxHaul 70115 46" x 36" x 4-1/2" Roof Rack Rooftop Cargo Carrier Steel Basket, Car Top Luggage Holder for SUV and Pick Up Trucks - 150 lb. Capacity, Black

Just reconditioned our 11-year-old Ez-Go S6 golf cart and needed a little extra storage for bags and chairs when all the grandkids are visiting.This rack fits perfectly on the roof, and took our cart up a notch. Drilling eight holes and putting the knobs on the inside makes for an easy removal to use on our SUV when needed.Super happy with the quality, look and function - highly recommend!

Looks really good seems real sturdy, but it could stand to be a bit longer

For the price it does the job. I drove 4K miles of dirty wet winter riding after installing it and it has held up well. The basket fits my 2021 Audi Q3 with factory bars with ease. I was able to easily add three decent size pieces of luggage and I used a dry bag. My qualms is that the screws supplied are crap and easily strip so be careful. I haven’t had any signs of rust but many people have shown the basket starts developing surface rust along the welds. The basket is light which makes it easy to lift. The aerodynamics I would say are bad. Too many open spots that create a ton of wind noise. The noise is bearable when at 50mph but anything greater the noise becomes very loud but this will depend on your noise tolerance. The rack fits on my aero bars but the hardware has no locking mechanism if that matters and I found the clamping hardware to be a but tedious to install trying to clamp each side evenly. Once installed though the rack is rock solid and isn’t going anywhere. Again for the price this costs a fraction of what a high end Yakima or Thule basket would cost yet essentially does the same job. The 150lb weight limit is fine for me but might be limited for others.

I really needed a roof rack to accommodate my belongings for a long trip. I checked out several and decided on this Maxxhaul. I noticed one used in excellent shape and picked it up for $86. It arrived quickly, in great shape and all parts still packaged and there. Within fifteen minutes of dragging box inside I started to put it together. I had watched one video on here 2 times before ordering and it went together quickly as the printed instructions are terrible. I didn't even have to use a rubber mallet, it slid together like it was supposed to. I took it outside and lifted it up onto my Rogue, stepped back looking at it from front and back and repositioning a little to get centered. I then put the wedges and straps on but not tight, stepped back again and made sure it was still centered then began tightening everything up. I had 2 issues, the first was the rubber washers putting sides together pushed up over the screws so I just took it off and screw went in a little tighter, the second issue was the rubber plugs wouldn't fit all the way down. I will recheck them in a couple of days and see if I can push down further. All around pretty pleased with it and myself. I am a 74 year old female and did this all by myself.

FACIL DE INSTALAR

As I was I reviewing this cargo carrier I found a review from July 2020 where the reviewer noted that the screws that hold the unit together were very small so as to render the carrier to be, in his opinion, unsafe. After receiving the carrier and inspecting the hardware, I agree.The attached photo note the screws and washers that were supplied to secure the three rack components together. When used as directed the gripping power of the screws was about a 1/4” which is basically nothing! I totally agree, not nearly good enough! So…….I really liked everything else about the carrier so I decided to use my own hardware to assemble the unit very similar to how the earlier reviewer did it.For $5 worth of hardware and say an hour of your time you can make this carrier much safer!Here is what you need:* A 3/16 drill bit* Four (4) 1 1/4” size 10/24 bolts* Four (4) 1” size 10/24 bolts* Eight (8) size 10/24 nylon lock nuts* Sixteen (16) size 10 flat washers* Lube……I used VaselineIt’s important to use “stainless” hardware!I assembled the unit and added a few of the screws thar came with it to help hold it together and to keep all of the holes aligned. From there I drilled all of the holes “completely” thru with the 3/16 bit.Next I took it apart and slide on the rubber protective gaskets as directed. I then reassembled the unit again but this time put a few of the new bolts in place to help keep it together and to keep the holes aligned.The rubber gaskets are a very tight fit so I knew that there was no way they were going to slide over and protect my new hardware. So, rather than not use them, I slide the gaskets in place, felt for the holes in the carrier, and drilled thru the gaskets. I did this until all eight holes were re-drilled. And while it may look like the bolts are too short when you go to assemble with the new hardware……with a bit of pressure all of the bolts worked perfect. See photos.Once everything was in place and tightened up it was rock solid. And speaking of rock solid the hardware for mounting the carrier to my car roof rack worked great!I think the mfger should consider a hardware upgrade!
