We wouldn't have to if Ford made the OEM rack readily available - been impossible to find them for at least 6 months, if not more.

Have you tried the online dealers? I got one shipped up from Sam Galloway Ford within two weeks.

This feels like a pretty awful idea.

I wonder who, and where, Ford's rack is made?

Hi All -

I think I was among the first to order Mabett's rack when it was announced last week. Amazon initially quoted me a delivery time of the 27th, so I was very surprised when it showed up this weekend! I installed it yesterday - overall, I have to say that with the exception of one step, it was very easy to install, and it is very high quality. I was a little concerned since a lot of the other China-made racks have pretty poor reviews on Amazon. This one is different, y'all. Onto the breakdown!

(FYI I'm not sponsored and do not receive discounts from Mabett. Just a happy customer)

Shipping/Packaging: Excellent. All pieces were wrapped appropriately and secured well in the box. Shipping was very quick but I'm attributing that to the fact that one of the warehouses Mabett sends to is in Houston. Your mileage/shipping times may vary if you're not in the TX club

Fit/Finish: I was surprised by how "OEM-like" the rack was. The rails and crossbars have a good weight to them and the powder-coated finish is done well. Plastic pieces are indistinguishable from OEM - down to the arrows and words on each piece. They even stamped "Bronco" on all the bolts too! Was also surprised that they included the same type of tool as OEM to tighten the rear support pieces.

Install: With the exception of one piece, installation was straightforward and very easy. Included instructions were written well, and the YouTube video was a good visual reference. The only thing that didn't go smooth was the middle crossbar - one of the plastic endpieces did not line up perfectly with the hole on the rail, so it took quite a bit of effort (rubber mallet plus a little forceful driving) to make it fit. I think in the video, I saw that the guy installing the rack may have been having a little trouble with that piece too before they cut to the next scene, so this might be an issue. @Mabett you may want to look at the QC of those crossbar end pieces to make sure that they line up with the holes on the rail!

The only other thing I found was the covers on the rear support pieces sit a little loose when you close them back up. They haven't come unattached yet, but they definitely jiggle around a little after closed.

Finished product: Love it! Feels very sturdy. Looks-wise, it's nearly indistinguishable from OEM. I'm not planning on loading this rack up with heavy gear, but it'd take a couple of bikes without issue.

For anyone looking at the Amazon OEM-like racks, this one is highly recommended.

Went to install my rack and the rear right side clamp will not tighten enough to clamp down all the way. The geometry of the right side is all messed up.

edit: I disassembled the entire clamping mechanism and reinstalled the hinge and bolt mechanism and it seems to work now.

Yeah I don't get it. If you're going to make a rack, why didn't they fix the obvious flaw that Ford has.... The rack doesn't go all the way to the back.

They exactly what you have now, but add an extension on the back that makes use of the rear clamps so that not only is the rack bigger and actually look like someone didn't put a two-door rack on a four-door, but it should be stronger because now it's mounted to four places on the rear shell.

As others have said - I would love to see an OEM style rack that utilizes all of the rear clam shell mounting points. Even if load rating is unaffected, it will make loading, spanning, and securing long items (e.g., a canoe) easier by having a cross member across those rear mounting points. The bonus is the added look of course!

Nice! Waiting on the 2 door version, But some info I’ve seen makes it seem it’s the same for a 4door vs 2door?

 

[teevan]

So I installed my mabett roof rack, and it does look great, and build quality is very good. However, how do get the front roof panels off? It gets stuck where the front clamp is, and I can't get the panels off?

Am I doing something wrong?

 

[Mabett]

Followed the Amazon link and the price is up to $430. Is there a special code or something I need to enter?

If I remember, I will update the promo code when it is next available

 

[Mabett]

I was being cheeky. Can we take off the second row panel with this rack in?

sorry, no

 

[Mabett]

Can you please provide international shipping to Saudi Arabia?

Sorry, I can't ship to you in one piece at the moment

I will test again

I will look into this issue
