How are those working out for you?
Im trying to figure out a non-$1000 roof rack solution.
There is a 1-star amazon review that isnt a fan of the super high thule...
Super High foot, very BAD idea, October 21, 2009
By Richard C. Layne, III
My rating is based on the design of the "Super High" 953 foot only, I imagine the "low" and perhaps even the "high" would be just fine. The build quality was absolutely top notch, and assembly/installation was very easy.
What is a problem is putting this long of a "lever" on to something so fragile as a rain gutter (and I have very strong rain gutters). There is simply no way to do this safely and effectively. After doing a little searching it seems most folks who buy these go an average of 6-12 months before damage to their vehicle occurs from the forces applied by such a high foot design with such a narrow base. I would not trust it to carry a package of toilet paper. Thule should have known better, they should NEVER have made the "Super High" version of these feet.

The supper high is for Land Rover Discovery and Defenders. (and even the supper high leaves only about an inch and 1/2 between the rack and the roof. I have the Sportrack version. Just curious, why would you want to use the super high feet on a car with a low roof line? It would only increase your center and put more wind under your cargo.
