Good carrier, easy to install
These carries have worked well and have been getting a good workout all summer.  We put three large heavy sit-on kayaks on top a Dodge Caravan using these and didn't lose the kayaks so I'll call it a success. Our Caravan has stock blade style cross bars so I bought an extra set of these carriers just to get some extra curved type clamps to use on the bottom.  The supplied bottom clamps seem better suited for round cross bars but the curved top clamps clamp tightly onto the stock Caravan bars.  I didn't use the supplied tie-downs so I can't comment on the their quality.  The kayaks we had up on the roof were quite large and I would have liked taller and heavier carriers but these seemed fine once we got all three kayaks up and tied down and together.  I looked at a few name-brand carriers at some local stores and they didn't seem much different or any heavier duty and they cost significantly more.  Installation went fine and seemed easy enough.  Overall a good purchase and I would buy them again.
