Average
The fabric around D ring that you attach the lead to started ripping after the first use! We still have to use a halti with our dog as well as the pack. Hard to get the weight distributed right! I would recommend going the next size up if you have a cattle dog, ours needs more weight than this size can handle!

Giantz Univ. Roof Racks (Kia Sportage KM '06)
2 of 2 found this helpful Firstly, I think these are a good price. Personally, I feel that paying upwards of $200 for roof racks is a bit silly (when your car can only hold up to 45 KG's). If you're looking for something that you can hold bigger loads then I'd suggest getting something that has an all steel construction, more on that in a bit.
They arrived very promptly (two days after postage from Melbourne-Radelaide). I was quoted a week, so this was impressive.
Instructions are OK, in fairness they're a bad English translation in parts, but largely its all pretty straight forward anyway (setting up the racks on the car rails), you should be able to figure these out with any instructions really.
These are universal fit, designed to fit on cars with factory parallel roof rails.
The aluminium rack itself looks to be quite sturdy, though it's fairly thin gauge but again when you're not carrying heavy loads this shouldn't be a problem.
The clamps which attach to the parallel rails are a mixture of plastic and metal components. I'd prefer all steel, but without having seen more expensive models I can't comment if this is an industry standard. This could prove a problem with UV radiation exposure, but it's really just too early to tell.
The design is quite rudimentary but seems logical. Essentially, a thread (which looks zinc plated; might be stainless, not sure) screws into a nut on the other side of the clamp which slots into a plastic moulded housing, so it can't pull through, (well that's the theory). With anything plastic inevitably they bugger up with UV, but time will tell (probably have to keep an eye on the clamps to make sure they're not deteriorating). To be fair it does say whenever you drive to check the clamps to make sure they're not loose, which is a little disconcerting, but probably a legal disclaimer more than anything.
Other disclaimers include not overloading the racks with anything beyond 90 KG's, again doesn't apply to most vehicles with parallel rails anyway and also not driving over 120 KM/H with bike racks attached (common sense here methinks, if you're driving 120 KM/H with a bike on your roof, the racks aren't probably you're main concern.)
I used non slip padding, which I cut into a square and then folded several times over itself and then wrapped around the parallel rail, and then attached the clamp on top/around of this.
The instructions say to tighten to 6 NM but considering the fastening mechanism is an Allen key that is concealed in a deep part of the clamp makes measuring difficult. Also, most people aren't going to have a torque wrench. So, this seemed pretty illogical in my mind. I tightened them to the point where me physically pulling on the rails was making the car away from side to side but the rails didn't move. Beyond that, when you're paying $60 for the racks it's unlikely anyone is going to be getting a mechanic to install the racks.
Overall I feel they're in the you get what you pay for category. More expensive models may be all metal but I don't know, they're seem pretty adequate for my circumstances but probably wouldn't be heavy duty enough for a tradie who is going to beat the hell out of em.

Don’t bother
Considering I got 1, not 10 as the title depicts is the first negative! It doesn’t actually fit around the end of the cord and just moves around, therefore not protecting it from splitting at all! Waste of time and money!
