The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star is because I'm still getting used to the product, and I used it to transport items that 99% of the people on these reviews are not transporting. I believe almost every single review on here has to do with someone transporting a canoe, kayak, paddle/surfboard, or something else like that. All of those have ways of easily securing them to the roof. I on the other hand was using this product to transport pole vault poles back to another school. The poles are made of fiberglass and were bouncing around a fair amount even though I had them secured really well. I was scared out of my mind that one might break and I would have to refund the high school because one pole in the length that I had is easily $600+ brand new. I had 2 of these poles, and did not want to replace 4 kayaks worth of pole vault poles. I would highly recommend purchasing this, but like I said, I still have to figure out how to transport poles in a safer method.
