U Bolt of my dreams.
This U bolt did everything I expected it to. It held my cargo box firmly to my cross bars. There was zero wind noise as we drove well over 70mph. The thumb screws were easy to fasten.If this U Bolt was a person, it would be my best friend. Buy this U Bolt if you need to bolt anything in a U type fashion.

Worked great with the 2013 Chevy Traverse and the Sears X-Cargo Sport SV. After about 2,000 miles I say they are good to go - wire is thinner than I would like but it's fine.

Difficult to install no extra plates like other types and can damage cargo box
I bought this to replace a Karrite set for my Karrite roof box. Other types were not available so I settled for this set.Big mistake. The U-bolt must be completely undone when you put the cargo box on or off - this is difficult, especially if you have to lean inside your box on top of the car. Takes quite a while to undo 8 bolts then align the holes, and put 8 bolts back on - cannot use a wrench or driver so your forearms get sore. Takes about 1/2 hour to install the cargo boxMy original set had a sliding support which requires you to just loosen the nut and it slides off. This set requires you to take the entire bolt off - not at all practical if you plan on putting your storage box on and off after a brief period of use - say like a weekend.The other problem is the U-Bolt portion is thin - not flat like the original sets - if you tighten it too much you can crush the roof rack. My original set has a flat sliding bar (see photo) which does not crush the roof rack cross bar.keeping the box on will cost you quite a bit in gas so you should take it off - using these bolts is a real pain. If I had to do it all again, I would never have purchased this set.

Good as a replacement for lost or stripped nuts
Good as a replacement for lost or stripped nuts. However, does not include the fifth piece--the plate that goes on the underside of the carrier. No big deal if you have that piece. I was happy to be able to find the parts that were included! I'll purchase again if I lose enough to need to.

Works great with my older sport rack "coffin" car top carrier
Works great with my older sport rack "coffin" car top carrier. Way better than the complicated nuts/bolts/plates that originally came with my sport rack.

They work fine with the Sportrack Explorer 18
They work fine with the Sportrack Explorer 18. It does take a while to get them started because they could be just a little longer for a 5 star rating.
