Is the entire roof rack made of aluminum or just the cross bars?

The roof rack allows you to securely haul even more items on your Honda. It is installed into preset studs for seamless integration, so no drilling is required. The heat-treated aluminum crossbars, side rails and glass-filled nylon supports provide a lightweight and strong rack design. The rack can be used with the following current attachments: Bike Attachment, Kayak Attachment, Luggage Basket, Short Roof Box, Ski Attachment, Snowboard Attachment and Surfboard Attachment.

It comes with a set of universal clamps to lock on the roof rack or cross bars. No additional parts required as long you have roof cross bar.

It says that it is made of "aluminized steel" but feels more like just aluminum. Also appears to have a somewhat thin teflon-like coating. As noted in my review, teflon had shown some wear upon receipt from shipment contact with the rack.

The roof racks are all one piece and can be taken off or put back on at will. There are no remaining pieces when taken off. The roof racks work like a clamp and have to be tightened to put on and loosened to remove from vehicle.

I looked over the web, but could not find the answer. However, I have never seen racks of this quality, so I am assuming that they are some grade of steel since they seem too heavy and stable to be made of aluminum.

Rugged Ridge makes cross bar adapters for Yakima Bars (purchased separately). I bought the 60" round yakima bars since they evenly matched up with the width of my Jeep. You can attach anything from a basket, kayak mount (for 1 or 2 kayaks), to bike mounts with these bars. They are extremely sturdy and I believe are made of steel. From the base of the hard top to the top of the roof rack (yakima bars attached), you're looking at approximately 6 & 1/2 inches of additional height. I must say for the money this is the best roof rack you will find. Other racks require drilling and cause a lot of wind noise. This one has zero wind noise and there is no drilling required. Rugged Ridge is good about providing feedback and answering questions. I buy a lot of their parts! For the price, you won't be disappointed. Very happy with my purchase!

It is most definitely aluminum. It is very strong and I am quite pleased with it. I have had it about 6 months. I installed it myself and found it very easy to do.

Yes, the product title and one of the responses is confusing, but this is actually a complete kit. It will come with the side rails that you see in the picture that run front to back, and the cross bars that run left to right. It also includes the mounting hardware and the tool to install. You will not need any additional parts for this to work as a roof rack.

there is a metal frame, 3 A shaped bars across and a long support bar in the center, the tarp fits snug over the frame. there is no solid material for the roof other than the tarp fitting over the frame work.

Appears to be some type of composite or maybe fiberglass for the cross bars and aluminum for the brackets. They install easily although take your time as there is a front and back and left and right. I replaces the provided screws with socket head screws.

the side rails are already on my crosstrek. The rack I bought is only the cross bars. I don't know the part numbers.

It's made of stainless steel and cast aluminum. Only bolts and nuts can get rusted!

its aluminum and so far seems pretty well made. I've only used it twice so far but I have no problems with it so far

You might check their website. I had cross bars on my roof rack and they mounted no problem.

No rust. I've had the crossbars on the car for about 6 weeks now. I had read about rust forming after the end caps had fallen off. My end caps seem to be attached well and so I haven't seen any rust or exposed (unpainted) metal. Bars are very secure, since they completely wrap around my VW Sportwagon's siderails, there is no movement at all. Little hard to put them on and take off (though I haven't done that yet), and I haven't bought any bike/ski/kayak attachments, but so far I"m very pleased with them.
