I have these roof racks which are total crap for my Nissan Navara. Brand, "Prorack"
The first thing to go wrong was the end caps. Just fell off and gone.
Next was the plastic covering the bars, just started to peel off and keeps going.
Finally, most frustrating and worrying is the fact that they will not stay fixed to the roof. They keep coming loose, so i reset and tighten further, but then on trip with the boards and have to retighten. I'm afraid that i'm going to lose my gear. Need to do something before the season starts.
So i'm going to ditch them and get some better quality racks.
Has anyone had similar experience and what would you recommend? I'm looking at Rhino-Rack as replacements.... Thoughts?????
I've got Rhino racks on my iload, quite happy with them.
Slight tendency to rust though
We have a set of rhino rack 'vortex' bars on the roof of our commodore. Reasonably aerodynamic, very strong and because they come in different lengths you can get them to overhang your roof to make use of the full width of your car (ours will comfortably accommodate two boards side-by-side). Purchased about 10 years ago....still going strong
Rola Racks, Had a pair on my Commodore wagon for 17 years. Multiple sups, slalom boards and still going strong.
If you can get hold of any Thule racks in Aussie, I can really recommend them. I must have had five or six different versions over the years, they have lasted really well. Go for the old school black square bars.
Had a pair of Thule racks that outlasted the car (94 camry) now five years into a pair of rhinos and they seem pretty good.
I've had a pair of Proracks on my SUV for over a year now. No obvious problems so far. But thanks for the heads up, I'll check the issues you have raised and see if they are evident.
Assuming that they are the clamp over the non existing roof gutter type?
Get a track setup for the roof its the strongest way.
I'm with you Vpar - I just set the pro rack up in the correct position for my car and put large bolts to secure them in place so they don't come loose anymore. Really annoying every time I headed up or down the coast I had to stop at least once to tighten the roof racks. Will I buy Pro Rack roof racks again -NO WAY!!
Cheers

I have the Prorack HD on my Navara.
Been on for a year. Have a tray attached to that.
Never had to adjust them. Tight as the day i fitted them.
Id suggest you may have a faulty set. Take em back. Your shouldnt have these issues.

Yeah they are the clamp over 
I have ordered a set of rhino racks, should get them today.
Didn't know that a rail/track setup could be installed after market. The Proracks are cheaper than the rhino. I should learn my lesson and not be such a tighta*** in the future. But sometime you get what you can afford at the time to get by
I'll let you all know how these go. That's for the feedback
Thule all the way,had mine for around 10 years +,when upgrading my cars I just need to buy the new fitting kit to suit 
worked in a windsurf shop that installed racks for a while years ago - Thule are the best general use roofracks around, Rhino are great too if you need heavier duty ones. Prorack are well...definitely not pro :P
