Mine came today (3/25/15) with plastic brackets. I'm worried about them supporting the metal cross bars and legs when in use. I'm not really sure who or how to complain or report this to. I guess I'll have to figure that out.

The brackets on mine are metal, there is a plastic ring to protect your legs (I assume) from the hardware. They are right under the bracket, they serve no purpose other than safety though. It is very strong and steady. If it is plastic on yours I would call them, and complain. I wouldn't think plastic would last at all.

On my bath bench the legs and cross bars are metal - looks like heavy-duty aluminum. It is holding up well for my 220# husband.

The listing pictures must be stock photos and not specific to the model. I ordered on for mid-size truck and it did not come with forward most cross bar. It lists this in the material list and shows it on the box, however it was not there. I found out that only the "FULL SIZE" rack comes with this bar. I made one and it works fine...I do like the product and it was easy to install. I like the aluminum construction because I live and work the Gulf Coast with salty air and rust is an issue with steel. I would call customer service to be sure you are getting what you SEE with the model you are ordering.Overall....satisfied. The listing pictures must be stock photos and not specific to the model.

The legs are made of metal, but where they lock together is plastic. It's very sturdy and well-made. My husband and I are not exactly skinny, and we have no concerns about its structural integrity.

I cannot speak for the non-oem, but I ordered Genuine Honda 08L04-SZA-110 Crossbar for the year of my Honda pilot and the ends are not plastic. I believe that they are aluminum (or some other type of metal). We ordered ours back in August 2013 (through Amazon) and have been happy with them ever since.

The wheel brackets are plastic, my husband hasn't had any issues with them.

The basket is metal. The center post is plastic that's coated to look like metal. Overall, it appears rather flimsy however I've had one for about a year and it still looks good and works perfectly.

Legs are metal with plastic coverings. Overall quality is excellent. Another point to note is that te size of center cabins is some what small. Xbox, cable boxes and smaller DVDs players fit, but if you are planning big AV boxes, it may not work.

Mine came with the metal "U" bracket as well as a plastic "cup" that hugs the bar between the bracket. This thing is super solid and was a great purchase. Adjustability is great and there's no wobbling or shaking on my bars whatsoever. I've had the bike up to 130mph+ numerous times and at that speed, the images are stable. For any law enforcement officers reading this, I meant to type 130kmh. mph is a major typo. Oops.

I wouldn't worry about these big foot brackets. More of a question where your cross bars could handle the weight. There are little foam pads the might need replacing over the years, but I expect these to last quite a while.

Legs are aluminum..top heavy plastic. I bought an open box one...it was perfect..still in original internal wrap. Cost a fraction of new and not damaged at all.

Hello Linda, The latest version has metal plates on the bottom of the legs. A previous version had plastic fittings that broke easily. This version also had all 2" pipes whereas previous versions had some pipes that were only 1 3/8 ". Nice improvements on an already good product. Mike

Mine came with the plastic bracket, as well as the light bulb. I replaced both and am very happy with how they look. No gaps noticed and it looks like a new car once again!

The side bars are metal, aluminum I think, and the baskets are plastic. The baskets are very sturdy, however. I did a lot of research before buying this and I'm happy I chose this. It's well made and durable and it was easy to put together. And the best part is it doesn't swing around when I open and close the door.
