Gobi Stealth Roof Rack
Finally got my Gobi Stealth Roof Rack and installed it on my '22 Black Diamond and wanted to share a quick review.
Overall, absolutely love the product.
Pros:
●Very well built/high quality with the exception of the hardware.
●Sturdy and very secure and to the frame.
●10/10 aesthetic.
●Ample weight capacity. I'm using an iKamper SkyCamp 4.0 RTT with my partner and 4 dogs, zero issues.
●Purchased the quick release for the soft top. Takes a few minutes to go through the removal process, but would be way worse without it. I opted for this rack primarily for this feature with the softop.
Cons:
●Gobi customer service is notoriously bad. I can confirm, it was less than pleasant.
●Turnaround time, again as reputation precedes, is super slow. Took an additional month to their 6-8 week advertised lead time.
●Install took about 8 hours, mainly because the instructions were ass and I had to shear 3 bolts off to go back a few steps (and the accompanying run to Autozone and Lowe's for replacement hardware).
●Wind noise on the highway is pretty extreme on the softop. Looking into some wind deflection for now.
