Sports reviews of Thule RB47 Rapid Aero Aluminum Roof Rack Load Bars (47-Inch, Set of 2)

Customer Review: nice looking and sturdy.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

pros:
1. Nice looking sleek design.
2. Increased capacity (165lbs) combined with 450R compared with 75lbs with my factory cross bars.
3. Provide wider load space than my factory bars.
4. These has T slots on top going all the way to each side so you can slide your roof rack carriers in and out much easier without totally unscrew the screws; you can't do that with the round or squared load bars.

cons:
1. Easily scrached, everything you put on needs protection (plastic spacers).
2. There is just no good ways to use the rubber strips that are supposed to cover the T slots. If you are likely to rearrange your carriers on the rack it is probably easier just not use these at all.
3. You can't cut these shorter to fit a smaller car, the cross section is not the same all the way through, there are slots at the ends for adapting to the end caps and the foots. I think there are just a few lengths there to choose from.
