Hi Guys, It's car-shopping time (groan). We've looked at an '98 Olds Bravada and a '00 Jimmy among others. Both have similar factory roof racks. The Olds has a sticker that states the weight limit at 200# evenly distributed. Neither looks too sturdy to me. Has anyone any experience or knowledge of the capabilities of these racks? Any comments greatly appreciated. Tom
