The bars and the towers look pretty solid - my concern is with the way they mount to the car. They're held down by some straps that come down from the towers, through window/door frame, and through the cabin.

I can tighten the hell out of the straps, but that won't do any good if the feet slide or the bars are crap.

Any commentary on the topic would be greatly appreciated!

Well it would only take one trip or installation i guess to determine the quality of the towers etc. and Wal Mart has a pretty decent return polociy.
Kinda of a roll of the dice!
