I bought the roof bars for my 2001 MG ZT-T and they fitted perfectly. There were easy to follow instructions and it only took me 10 minutes to get them onto the car. The bars are reasonably good quality and seem to have sturdy steel cross bars and the clamping systems is highly effective. I found that it was better not to tighten the threaded clamp too much as it made it easier to pull the locking lever over in to position as this formed a geometric lock to hold the bars firmly in place. I needed to push down the locking lever firmly to engage the lock barrels, but this meant you get a very good engagement of the lock once everything is in place. Very quick and simple to fit.

Ok so you not going to get top quality for this price but after 5 minutes reading the easy to follow instructions I fitted them to the roof rails on my 2005 Suzuki Jimny and locked them into place with the keys provided. The key to a good secure fit I found was to finger tighten them before snapping shut the docking clamps and they hold nicely in place. My only criticism is that I would be liked them to lock at both ends as there is clearly provision for this to be done but the manufacturers sought for to only provide barrel locks for one end of each bar.Although they are steel in construction I was easily able to trim the length down to fit the width of my vehicle with a sharp hacksaw.I would

I was never expecting Thule quality for £29.99. However what I got was a good set of roof bars that where delivered next day and did exactly what I needed.Took 30 mins to fit, solid, secure and ideal for carrying our 430ltr roof box.Took it up to 70mph, hardly any wind noise and no whistling.I would not buy them under the impression they are lockable as although they have a lock they could easily be removed from the roof rails without keys or tools. That being said they won't come off unless you want them to, once they are fitted they are totally secure.We just got back from 3 days camping with a fully loaded roof box and no complaints.All in all very happy and would recommend and buy

4 stars because they're a bit of a faff to work out, especially the locking system, instructions aren't the greatest.However, they secure to the roof well, they're cheap and they do the job, don't expect Thule type rack, these are just a good cheap rack set, no better and no worse than a Thule in their primary job, secured two canoes to my roof happily.Just remember for curved roof cars or low roof rails to switch the ends so they are on the outside of the roof and not inside, and to unlock them when doing them up.

Easy to fit, took about 10min they are sturdy and practical, I would say they are quite universal with the style of fitting system they hold my shuttle box ok the hold the ladders for work ok, have not had sheet materials on them yet but I am confident they will hold, one slight bug only 1 lock per rail but I can't see how anyone could steal them when you need to undo both clamps to get the bar off so I am happy with this buy. Recommend!

At first glance it appears to be amazing value for money, it easy to apply to my vehicle except if you undo the bolt too much it falls off (my error) The clamp itself that holds the locks on arnt the most robust, so one bowed out a tad whilst fitting to the vehicle but this was easily fixed by knocking it back into shape with a mallet, however dont let that put you off this great product!

A good product but at the second attempt there was still no instructionsThe nice girl at Summit was able to email them to me so I did get them fitted. The online instructions weren’t much use as they were fir the wrong model.Fitting was a little tricky first time round but that’s what you must expect as a learning curve. A good basic product with no frillsJust don’t lose the keys !!!!

These are strong bars made from good materials. My only problem was the fact that they were a heck of a job to fit, on my Skoda Yeti. Firstly, I couldn't find any instructions, in the box, so I had to work from the picture. The Jaws would only just open wide enough to fit and it took some effort to lock the bars down. Having said that, they do the job and we're reasonably priced.

Although the instructions aren't the clearest they could be, I was able to fit the bars without too much trouble. I did find that with my model, Octavia Ambiente 2007, that I did turn the locking mechanism around as they suggested and they have served me well. The bars lock onto the rails really securely and I haven't had any problems with them at all.

The installation instructions in the box were missing. Needed them urgently. Amazon did not respond, other than to invite me to send the whole package back. I telephoned the supplier whose name was on the box, and they were most helpful and emailed the instructions immediately.

Fast delivery, cheap price, seem strong, no instructions but basically do the rotary clamp up first then push the plastic cover clamp over to finish. All good apart from the air noise once you get above 70k is deafening. Fine if your in the city all the time.

The clamps are just about big enough to fit the Navara roof bars, but it does fit. I had to cut the rubber clamp bit so they could sit in the correct position, I just used some sticks like to hold them in place once fitted.Very happy with them for the price.

Bought for a Volvo V70 2004 and as a "universal" product fits safely but not a perfect clasp on the rails. One clamped firmly, a pull and push test won't budge it. Now tested on a long journey with no problems arising. A good buy ! John Wilson. Cornwall.

A little concerned about the fastening to the roof side bars, but it was recommended for my car. Feel the clips should be slightly bigger, but it’s on and has moved a ladder and gate so it does it’s job.Instructions not as clear as could be.

Carried ladders, timber, even sheets of ply for 60miles. Made some metal end stops for one side to tie against for the ply. Bars nice and long on my galaxy now sold. Have to buy some more for my Kia. Pity I could not find some end stops
