Wish i would've spent more for a real roof rack - Thule Trail XT - Large

Came damaged (dented) from UPS. Decided to keep it anyway (for a discount from Campsaver) because I was planning on painting it and could fix in prep. Plasti-dipped it. Aluminum isn't super conducive for that as I've found. Corner seams aren't machined correctly which they should be for something at this price point but I'd seen other comments about this on-line so I was prepared for it. One of the machine screws wasn't machined correctly so I had to wait for a replacement from Thule in the mail (sigh). The only good thing is that its relatively light weight and isn't too noisy on the roof. IMHO, this thing is priced about $100 more than it should be for what you really get. I give it 2.5 stars but rounded up.
