Hello all, I would like to find out from owners that have purchased after market cross rails for the built in longitudinal roof racks. I am interested in getting cross rails but do not want to spend a bunch of money. If owners could weigh in on what they have purchased and how they liked them or disliked them that would be much appreciated.

The bars fit well and are very secure. I took a bit to figure out exactly how everything worked but it is not too bad. There are instructional videos and the written instructions are pretty clear and accurate. The bars have a universal slot in the top of them allowing you to use standard rack accessories like bike and kayak adapters. I would definitely recommend the cross bars for a good economical alternative to OEM.

Interested. Do you leave them on all the time or just when you need them? Curious about increased wind noise at highway speed.
I left them on for the warmer months. I took them off for the winter as I go through an automatic car wash to keep the winter road salt off the car. There is wind noise on the highway, not bad at all but it is noticeable.
