Been reading through several roof rack threads but I don’t see which brands use all 6 mount locations for additional strength. Let me know if there is another better option for increased load rating.

Isn’t the Gamiviti capable of using “all eight” (4 on each side)?
The rattling apart can be solved by using thread lock on the nuts and bolts.I guess the worry about the modular roof racks is that they shake apart eventually. Is this an unfounded idea or do you need to retighten nuts and bolts once in a while?
I like the idea the Gamiviti is one welded piece.
On the other hand I’ve heard people saying the tubular style roof rack can deform when clamped firmly. Is there any truth to that?
Is that listed somewhere?US market rack is rated at 150 lbs. Roof itself is rated at 200 kg (440 lbs) dynamic. I’ve certainly had more static weight up there without issue.
