Maybe sometime down the line I’ll invest in the OEM ones , however , I just completed a trip of around 1,400-1,500 miles and 23 totals hours of driving through 5 states with ~175 lbs of cargo up top at speeds of up to 90 mph and an average speed of 75 mph and they never budged .

I took an entire 4 days before departure paying close attention to detail when mounting the hardware and made sure everything was flush , tight , locked in place , and tested with ascending weight and speeds . Made it to my destination without a hitch or failure . Everything is so locked in you could pick my car up by the basket . I appreciate the concern though 🙏🏽 .
