How long did it take to install?
Did it come with instructions on how to remove an existing rack?
How much height does it add?
Do you have a sunroof? Does it have enough clearance for the tilt feature?

About 3 hours, having a second person definitely help and speed up the process.
No manual instruction but they have a 8 min video on their website. Pretty easy to follow.
About 48/50lbs I believe. The overall package was 70lbs but contains a lot of dead weight. Very well packed and shipped.
For what they told me 400lbs motion weight and 700lbs stationary is the max load.
I don’t have a sun roof but I believe there is enough clearance for the sunroof to tilt when opened

Not much to be honest, unless you are driving against 45-60mph winds . During normal days you don’t even feel it’s there

Is this the lowest profile aftermarket rack so far? I really like the wind deflector on this one vs the Prinsu. Kinda thinking about getting the Westcott or Sherpa at this point...

That was the reason why I got it to be honest they claim to have a better mpg also due to the low profiles compared to the competitors

Looks great, do you know the general dimensions of the rack (especially curious how much height it adds)?

Weight is ( if I recall correctly) about 60lbs, box was 75lbs. But the rack goes literally 98% of the roof. Sorry I sold it ( including the car) otherwise I’d measure it for you
