Summary: This is not the universal rack!
Comment: I bought this rack, and I could have sworn that it said universal rack, but it did not fit on my factory installed rack. I later came to find that it is the 91725 rack that is universal, NOT the 725. I had to buy the adapters, and the rack seems to be working well, but it cost me an extra $30 for the additional parts. Make sure you check the part number and order the 91725 if you want the universal mount. If this rack does fit your car, it is very easy to install.

Summary: "Universal Mount" isn't
Comment: The literature describes this unit as a flat-mount ski rack compatible with any factory-installed roof rack with crossbars. Hardly.
My vehicle is a 2006 GMC Envoy with a factory roof rack. This rack is the same one used on many GM SUVs, so great numbers of them are out there. These racks have crossbars with a "reverse wing" shape that are tilted forward, presumably to reduce wind noise. The Thule "universal" mounting system will not conform to these crossbars, and will only mount with the ski rack tilting forward (or backward) at a silly angle. It can be used in this conformation, but it looks odd.
Also, the ski rack indeed locks over the skis/boards, but the mounts are not lock-protected, so the entire ski rack and contents can be easily stolen with standard wrenches.
My searches found no alternative to this rack, however, and it does work for the intended purpose.
