All FAQs

What vehicles do the Roof Rack Brackets fit?

The Roof Rack Brackets fit most vehicles with horizontal crossbars up to 1.5" thick. For thicker crossbars, longer hardware is available upon request at no additional charge.

How do I secure my Roof Rack Brackets?

For added protection when the rack and vehicle are unattended, use the optional Security Fastener Kit. It provides an extra layer of security to keep your setup safe.

Easy to Use (Maybe Too Easy?) - Hardware Suggestio

The brackets are dead simple to install and seem to hold the Sportube in a steady position. Given the lack of a truly secure installation, I think the price is a little high for what it is. Specifically, it would be very easy for a thief to bypass all security by simply using an allen wrench to disconnect the bracket from the roof rack, and your stuff is gone. Second note - The screws included wound up being too short to fit around my crossbars, which are the Rivian OEM Cargo Crossbars. They were too thick, and I had to purchase a new set of screws from my local hardware to get the brackets to fit. Otherwise, I can't wait for the lifts to start spinning, this will be a great addition to my ski travel routine.

Easy to use and convenient

I was hesitant to get these based on the price. However, it works as expected and easy to use. The one thing I wished I had bought at the same time was the security screws. Anyone who has a standard allen wrench can unscrew the whole thing. Be mindful of that while you are traveling and you leave it unattended. When you are at the resort, you will leave the top part of the brackets in your car.

Good, but could be more secure & simpler

Called in with excellent service to find out what Sportube I have. Brackets arrived promptly. Instructions were generally clear, and installation was straightforward. Low profile on the system when installed on my Equinox - will clear my garage door with an inch to spare! My main concerns are: (1) Someone with a standard Allen wrench can easily remove the whole thing! Other rooftop devices use a special Allen wrench so that standard Allen wrenches won't work. An alternative would be to design the bracket so that the mount is UNDER the SporTube so one can't get to the screws when the SporTube is installed in the bracket. (2) There are two supplied padlocks, one to lock the SporTube into the bracket and one to lock the SporTube closed. It's great to have the two padlocks, but each one has a different key! It should be straightforward to have two padlocks keyed alike.

Works as advertised

Another option for Roof Top cargo carriers. Better yet, one might be able to load up the roof top cargo carrier and add Sport tube #1 for additional gear to be carried on the rooftop.
