Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Loading Diagram

Malone SteelTop Roof Rack

The Malone SteelTop roof rack lets you carry gear and accessories on the roof of your Honda Pilot with raised, factory side rails. This complete roof rack system includes 2 steel, square crossbars and 4 towers. The bars are compatible with most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers, and the towers have built-in locks to protect the rack from theft. The rack clamps onto your raised side rails and tightens down with the included tool, so it's easy to remove and install.


Strong, Steel Crossbars

Malone SteelTop Crossbar without Endcap

The durable crossbars are made of steel and have a black vinyl coating to protect them from corrosion and keep them looking new. The bars also have plastic endcaps to protect the interiors from the elements and to give your roof rack a finished look.


Durable Towers with Built-In Security

Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Towers

The towers are made of molded nylon that won't fade or wear down when exposed to the elements. Each tower includes a nylon cover with a built-in lock to deter would-be thieves from removing the rack from your roof. The covers also protect the towers' interior and hardware from the elements.


Easy Installation with Rubber-Coated Steel Clamps

Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Rubber Clamps

The towers attach to your Honda Pilot's raised, factory side rails with rubber-coated steel clamps. The rubber coating provides a superior grip on your side rails and protects them from damage during installation and use.


Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Installation Tool

To tighten, simply turn the bolt inside the tower assembly with the included installation tool until the clamps are snug.


Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Rubber Spacer Blocks

Rubber spacer blocks are included to fit smaller side rails. If the clamps don't tighten enough to your side rails, just slide a spacer block onto the clamps before tightening them.


Once assembled, the towers and crossbars stay together as one unit, which makes removing, storing, and reinstalling the system a snap. To remove, simply remove the cover and loosen the bolts inside the towers with the installation tool.

Meet my needs exactly. Have used it to secure an enclosed top carrier without any problems.



by:
2013 Toyota Land Cruiser

The steel portion of the unit is good. The vinyl coating is weak and had moderate scratches in many areas although the packing was good. Assembly was easy. The appearance on the vehicle looks plain but practical.



by:
2004 BMW X5

Exactly what I needed to be able to put rooftop carrier or ski rack on top of my older suv. Works perfectly!



by:

Bars arrived scratched up. 2 months after install, the securing bolts are very badly rusted.
Was told they do not sell stainless steel bolts, and to buy from local hardware store?? Wow.
Very disappointing.

I have gotten in touch with the manufacturer and they have confirmed that the Bolts inside those SteelTop Towers should not be starting to rust at all, especially after only 2 months. The only times they have ever seen any of those Bolts start to show rust was after years of use right next to Salt Water. I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them to better assist you.



by:

Works great & we’re happy with it. However it’s not very aerodynamic in that it vibrates considerably when we drive over 55 miles/hr without a boat on top so we remove it when going anywhere without our two kayaks.



by:

The racks are solid however it appears the manufacturer doesn’t pay much attention to how the product is shipped or any type of quality control to ensure all pieces are in the box when shipped. I received the package and upon opening the box it quickly became evident that the accessory bag was completely open and was missing one of the four little gray shim/adjustment pieces as well as the keys for the lock. Etrailer was quick yo respond but ask that i ship the entire package back and wait for a return item. I felt they should have shipped replacement parts immediately but that wasn’t an option apparently. That was unfortunate and will most likely play in my decision to order from etrailer in the future

I have ordered a number of items from etrailer. Always happy with the result. Will continue to be a customer

Fits our 2023 Subaru Forester like a glove. Well made. Like the locking feature.



by:

Works well, easy on and off and gives me the added width I needed to carry two 30" kayaks face down.



by:
2010 Subaru Forester

I installed the roof rack easily. The instructions were clear. The cross bars are strong and heavy. The towers adjust easily with the provided tool. It chirps a bit when I drive. I don’t mind that. I plan to carry two Hornbeck canoes.

I still love the roof rack. We took it off for the winter. It was easy to re-install. Yep. I love it

Installed quickly and was wide enough to carry two Hornbeck bosts

Janet

Happy with this roof rack. Wide enough to hold two Hornbeck Canoes. Locks nice to the factory rails and not difficult to install or remove.



by:

My Malone rack has worked perfectly carrying canoes and kayaks (with attachements) on dozens of occassions including to FLorida. The price for a locking rack was very good. Thanks for the study product.



by:

Product was shipped in the Malone box and arrived with one end of the box broken open. Malone did not use any kind of reinforcement packing inside the box to secure the bars from banging around during shipping. Luckily, they arrived with only minimal scratches, but could have easily been more damaged. Normally products like this would have had some styrofoam spacers to keep them from hitting each other and reinforce the strength of the box - Malone DID NOT. I like the product and it is strong on my roof rails, but Malone needs to step up their product packaging.



by:

Missing parts, broken parts, just a hassle. The only plus was the awesome customer service. Not sure I will go with this brand again.



by:

A small adjustment was needed in order for the brackets to mount to the factory installed roof rails. Upon completing that the rack fit good and provides adequate carrying capacity.



by:
2003 Chevrolet Astro

This roof rack is exactly what I have been looking for for a Chevy Astrovan with factory bars. It is easy to put on and take off and rock solid once installed. etrailer.com is a great company as well!



by:
2006 Toyota Sequoia

Product is great, install was easy...my complaint is with etrailer.com...they didn't package the item well at all. It wasn't wrapped up in plastic or anything, they just threw it in the box (which the end was broken open upon receiving it) so when I took it out of the thin cardboard box, the cross bars and plastic mounts were scratched and scraped up. That was disappointing to say the least.



by:

The rack is well made...very easy to install and adjust...it will handle the two Hobie kayaks perfectly...the rectangular profile of the rack tubing will allow an outrigger extension to make loading the boats easier



by:

The shipping was fast and the customer service was great. These crossbars come at a great value. Although they do make a bit of noise at medium to highway speed, for the price they can’t be beat.



by:
2013 Ford Edge

The cross bars look like they will do the job.

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Basket Recommendation for 2013 Ford Explorer
    The rooftop cargo basket you referenced, the Rhino-Rack # RMCB, fits a range of crossbar types. This basket will mount ideally on the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG203 which uses square crossbars. This rack includes locks and will keep your rack/basket combo within your target price range. An installation video is linked for your reference.

  • What is the Maximum Length of the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Crossbars?
    Every vehicle is different from how the towers of crossbar systems install into the factory raised rails of vehicles. It is important to note that the usable part of the crossbars is from end to end as opposed to just the measurements inside the feet. No matter how the towers attach to the rails on your 2022 Kia Carnival, the crossbars on the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Steel # MPG201 will still measure 50 inches from end to end. However, we do carry the Malone SteelTop...

  • Will Malone SteelTop MPG202 Fit A 2005 Jeep Liberty With Factory Round Raised Rails
    Yes, Both the Malone SteelTop # MPG202 and # MPG203 will work perfectly with the round raised factory rails on your 2005 Jeep Liberty. I recommend going with the shorter # MPG202 since you cannot load any weight on the overhanging ends of the bars, there's no real benefit or reason to go with the longer # MPG203.

  • Fit of Thule TH898 Hullavator Kayak Carrier on Malone MPG202 Square Crossbar Roof Rack
    The Thule # TH898 Hullavator would be compatible with the 1-1/4 x 7/8 inch crossbars provided by the Malone # MPG202 roof rack. However, in order for the Hullavator to operate properly, the crossbars will need to extend at least 4 inches past the roof rack feet as shown in the provided diagram. I'd measure the side to side distance of your roof side rails at their widest point, and if that distance is greater than 48 or so inches, you'll want to go with a longer crossbar like # MPG203.

    If you are wanting to get two kayaks plus a SUP on the roof of your 2014 Jeep Charokee you are going to need a large amount of bar space. The largest I can find for your car is the 65" Malone Square Rail Roof Rack System # MPG203. With 65 inches of rail space you'll be able to fit the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. The JayLow will fit 2 kayaks and will wrap around your bars making it an easy install! It does come with straps and such to tie down one kayak but you will need to grab...

  • Recommended Solution with Load Assist for Carrying 2 Kayaks on 2020 Honda Ridgeline
    I have a solution for you, but the Thule Hullavator # TH898 requires approximately 28.5" of bar space for each one, so it's going to be a bit of a tight squeeze on the 65" bars of the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG203 to mount two of them. The Hullavator also requires 4"-8" of space outside of each foot pack to avoid contact with the vehicle. With that said I have a solution that's going to work better for you. I recommend using the Thule Compass # TH890000, which will allow you to carry...

  • Why are the Malone SteelTop # MPG203 Not Confirmed to Fit My 2020 Toyota 4Runner with Raised Rails?
    I have a fitment answer for you. The reason why the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Steel - 65" Long # MPG203 is not listed as a confirmed fit for your vehicle is because the 65" length of the crossbars are deemed far too long for your 2020 Toyota 4Runner Limited with raised factory rails. This is why the SteelTop 50" # MPG201 and SteelTop 58" # MPG202 are confirmed fits. You are right that the towers # MAL25YR will fit your vehicle. Also, another...

  • Roof Rack to Fit a 2015 Hyundai Tucson Limited
    I'm fairly sure the Limited model of the 2015 Hyundai Tucson has factory raised rails on its roof. If so, there are three Malone roof rack options that fit; the 58 inch SteelTop square bars # MPG202, the 65 inch SteelTop square bars # MPG203, and the 58 inch AirFlow2 aero bars # MPG216. Between the three I recommend the AirFlow2 because of the aero bar design that reduces wind noise and has an overall better look, in my opinion. If I'm wrong about your Hyundai's roof and you actually...

  • How Long of Crossbars for 2017 Subaru Forester
    The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack- 65" # MPG203 will fit your 2017 Subaru Forester. The 50" # MPG201 and 58" # MPG202 are recommended because they won't stick out too far past the body of your Forester. It is not recommended to have your bars stick past your side-view mirrors. The 65" will be 3-1/2" on each side more than the recommended 58" model. I don't think you will have issues extending past your mirrors with the overall width of your vehicle being 70.7".

  • Which Crossbars Will Work With The Thule TH898 Hullavator?
    There are two ways to connect the Thule Hullavator to your crossbars, clamp on or use the T-slot. Clamp on requires square bars and T-Track requires a Thule Crossbar. If you have raised side rails on your vehicle, the SteelTop # MPG203 will just clamp on no problem. If you want to install it via T-Track, you can do that too but you'll need Thule Aero Bars # TH711520 Both options come with the kit. No other longer bolts are needed.

    78" bars on a 2012 Honda Pilot is possible. You will need a specific kit to do so and check your local laws and ordinances for any requirements for flagging your load. If the 78 inch bar, part # Y00411 isn't legal in your area, you can use the 66 inch bars, part # Y00410. To complete the roof rack you also need the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR along with the SL Adapter Kit # Y03536.

  • Fit of Malone Steel Stop Square Bar Roof Rack on 2005 Toyota Highlander
    According to Malone, the angle of the roof rack feet would prevent the 50 inch long # MPG201 from fitting, which is why they recommend using the 58 inch # MPG202 or the 65 inch # MPG203 instead. In order to fit on the raised rails on your Highlander, the feet would need to be slid apart too far, and wouldn't be all the way attached to the crossbar. I've linked to a product demonstration/install video that you might find helpful.

    That all depends on what roof rack you have or that you are looking at. The Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 itself weighs in at 39.7 lbs but that is not including any roof rack parts. If you could verify which roof rack you have I can let you know the total weight if we carry it.

  • Recommended Square Bar Roof Rack for a 2016 Subaru Forester w/ Factory Raised Rails
    We have a great economical roof rack option for your 2016 Subaru Forester. I recommend the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG203. The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG203 is an economical, square bar roof rack that will install on your factory raised rails. These crossbars are 65" wide. Which is important, because you need 4"-8" past the roof rack feet to use your Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898.

  • Will accessories for Yakima round bars fit these square bars?
    Typically if an accessory works with a round bar, it will work with a square bar # MPG203. Given my time at eTrailer I have not seen an accessory that works for one and not the other. For example, the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 works with both round and square bars and so does the RockyMounts TomaHawk # RKY1222.

So for your 2009 Hyundai Tucson with raised roof rails the rack option we have that will give you the best overhang will be the Malone roof rack part # MPG203 which has 65 inch long crossbars.

  • Can Malone Square Crossbars Be Bought Separately?
    You cannot buy the Malone square crossbars separately, so you would need to go with the complete kit: Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Steel - 65" Long # MPG203. Also, you will want to make sure that the 65" bars do not extend past your vehicle's mirrors as doing so could be illegal in your area and it is also dangerous.
