Negatives: you loose through loading or the ability to through load bigger items. 8-10cm luggage space is taken up by the brace. It is really designed to be fitted without carpets in place but it is easy to cut the carpet for a very neat install, however the upper bolts fowl on the carpet when inserting them so you have to wind the in at and angle. I also had to pry and clamps the brace to get the bolts through it is a very tight fit. I’m also concerned about resonance to may fit some discreet sound deadening on the back of the bar, it rings like a bell when you knock on it.
The finish isn’t super durable and scratches easily far better than anything else in its price range. It is painted with a bed lining type paint which has a finer texture to it. Powerder coating would be great.
