Yeehaw! I’m really impressed with how the fairing lower profile matches the roofline. Install was so easy I could do it myself with the help of 2 PBRs. I assembled the rack and then slid it onto the roof with blankets for protection. I struggled with the brackets and spacers until I realized it was way easier to remove the brackets from the rack, mount them to the roof, then attach them to the rack. I think having some side to side adjustability in the brackets instead of single holes would make the install a bit easier, but they lined up perfectly in the end. Just a bit tricky to get the last ones in.
This rack is stout! I was a little worried about standing on the cross bars, but not anymore.
