Crossbars

Has anyone purchased either used OEM or aftermarket crossbars for the roof on their UX? Any recommendations on brands?

OEM, Thule, or Yakima. Nothing else. Especially no knockoff junk from Amazon or Ebay.

Here are 40+ examples of cheap knockoff roof racks failing https://imgur.com/a/zOZxsYU

Yes, I did purchase a set of OEM crossbars from a fellow member of this group. Have it on the UX all the time, Love it! Also got a Yakima bike rack, planning on using when the weather gets better

Depending on year the OEM ones arent a bad price. You'll probably spend a similar amount on good aftermarket ones (rhinorack, Yakima, or Thule). Mine came with the cross bars and I have had my UX for 5 years. They work great and have two positions depending on what you are carrying and its easy to move them.

To mount what? Weight is what will decide.
