After Market Roof Cross Rails

[djaqualight]

I got the aries too. I looked at mine compared to the OEM one that was in the dealer lot parked next to me and they really don't look any different. The OEM ones seem to fit the same too. The Aries do feel kind of cheap when using the key to lock the cap. I like the steel letters that come with it although it is a tedious task getting them on the base assembly

The one thing I found out was that you have to move the bars just right on the rail before you tighten them the with lever. If you notice there are indentions on the rail. IF you don't get the base in one of these indentions you will not be able to tighten it and almost break off the lever to get it to lock into place. On the other hand if you get the base in the indention too good it will not tighten and feels loose. I moved the base a little more out of the indention and it tightens fine. I hope that made sense!

Getting the rails attached to the base with those locking washers was a PITA!

I'm going to put 2 kayaks on them this weekend so hopefully they are constructed well!
