This product could have been an amazing deal.The price is great, and the quality of the saddles are great, but the hardware is garbage.It is nice that they come with u-bolts, allowing this product to be used with virtually any factory crossbars.Unfortunately, the quality if the u-bolts were terrible.The provided knobs fit on the u-bolts less than half the time.The threading is very very poor on the u-bolts.While attaching the first saddle, one knob went on just fine, the other was stripping the threading on the u-bolt.In an effort to see what was exactly the issue, the knob or the u-bolt, I tried standard nuts on the u-bolts, and the knobs on standard bolts.Knobs were fine, u-bolts were not.A trip to the hardware store will hopefully remedy the situation, but it was fairly frustrating trying to make this work.

After a long battle, I was able to secure the saddles with a mix of the knobs and nuts.Once on there, it did what it was supposed to, helped transport my kayak securely.

This would be deserving of an easy 5 stars if not for the u-bolts.Small gripe, maybe, but I was just hoping for something a little better.
