I just put them through their paces on a long family trip, and they performed admirably. Easy to install and look just like the ones installed by the dealer, but for half the price. Driving a 2021 Kia Telluride.
This past weekend, I completed the installation. A few things to keep in mind:
1 - It was a simple and straightforward process to install. forward; I was able to complete the installation without the assistance of a second personbr>2 - The fittings and connections appear to be of good quality. br>3 - These bars appear to be extremely durable. I've only used it for skis, but it appears that a cargo box and heavier items such as kayaks and canoes would be fine. br>4 - Tall - These crossbars are about an inch higher than other crossbars of this style I've owned; I'm curious if this is a result of the Telluride sun roof opening to the outside of the roof line vs. the interior of the roof line. 5 - recessed into the structure of the roofbr> Brand - I had reviewed others, such as the "HEKA" brand, while ordering the "SNAILFLY" cross bars; I believe it is the exact same product that will arrive at your door. When I was putting the towers on the rails, I noticed some "HEKA" branded components inside the tower. br>br>I'll come back and update the review if I run into any issues, but these appear to be a decent quality alternative to the OEM cross bars, which are 2-years old. 3 times the cost.
I needed roof rack cross rails to mount a cargo carrier on my 1000-mile road trip to Florida. I took a look at one that was for sale- That was described as a Kia branded unit, but when I looked at it, I realized it wasn't. It was a low-cost model. I read the Amazon reviews for this unit and found them to be extremely positive, so I decided to purchase it. I received my unit three days before my trip, just in time. It was simple to put together and is extremely durable and secure. We drove 2000 miles in two weeks and it was a great experience. It's not that it matters, but I've seen the Kia version, and this one appears to be very similar.
Feel incredibly strong, and the only thing I'm willing to give up is my time. I would deduct 1/2 a star because the instructions are terrible, which made the initial setup time consuming - It would have taken no more than 10 minutes to install if they had simply stated that the bars are different lengths and that the front is wider than the back. br>I didn't notice any wind noise while driving on the highway with the bars up and no load.
When I first read the reviews about this issue, I assumed it was user error, which happens all the time, so I went ahead and ordered the rails anyway. As soon as I took them out to mount them, I noticed how flimsy the covers were and what a bad idea it was to attach them; they don't snap into place, so you have to kind of position them in place and hope they stay! Well, they're gone on the first trip down the highway, which I'm not surprised about; in fact, I'm surprised they weren't all gone! It's a shame because these rails are of excellent quality, produce no wind noise, and look fantastic, but it's a problem that needs to be addressed. However, if I can get replacement caps from the seller, they are still well worth the money.
These were a breeze to install on my 2021 Kia Telluride SX. The directions were a little difficult to read, but they were fairly self-explanatory. There is no wind noise, which is great; I passed on a similar option because many reviews claimed it made wind noise, but the reviews for this one appear to be fairly accurate so far. I'm going on a trip next week with a roof bag attached, so I'll keep you updated if I run into any problems!.
Great deal on what we needed for our 2020 Telluride for half the price Kia was asking!.
Both bars were the same length when the item arrived. They both fit in the front of the rail but are too long to be used in the back. As you can see, the railings on the '21 Telluride get narrower as you get closer to the back. To install the rear one (which required only one screw instead of two on each side), I had to cut about half an inch off each side. When you can just make one shorter, why bother with returns? Overall, the cross bars appear to be sturdy, the locks function properly, and everything appears to be in good working order when put together. Just don't hold your breath for it to fit-out. box.
Pros: It appears to be of good quality, with sturdy materials that will fit when altered.
Cons: Doesn't fit the vehicle as advertised, and requires some light do-it-yourself effort to install.
