Great Looking - Instructions Lacking
The RAL bars look great, and are in an ideal position once installed. They are light-weight, so they were easy to handle during installation. The overall installation process is fairly easy. It took me about an hour to get these on the vehicle. My biggest complaint is the instructions. While they provide some marginal guidance, a person is left more on their own than they should be. The text of the instructions is sparse, and the pictures are all close-ups. So while I understand what to be looking for, I don’t understand where to be looking. I spent time comparing the underside of the vehicle to the pictures so I could ensure I had the right location before attempting install, and still had to move bracket positions a few times to get it right. I am pretty handy, but someone with less experience would really struggle. For me, 4 stars is fair. But be ready to do some trial and errror to get the brackets in just the right place.
