I bought this rack twice within 4-5 weeks. My car was rear-ended when the first rack was 2.5 weeks old! (The rack was damaged, but my car was unscathed). But I liked the rack so much, I purchased a second identical one. I even had a stranger in a parking lot leave me a note on my windshield saying "Nice rack" ! (Not a complaint, but the straps are a little hard to initially use, but become easier after a few times. )
