They are extremely stable and sturdy. However, if you use the RL150S13 Leg Kit, the cross bars are really too close to the G's roof top. Don't expect to be able to mount anything that encircles the cross bar. Anything below the bars has an all too good possibility of hitting or scraping the roof top.

They use the same legs which put the bars very close to the roof. Not a problem if you don't need to connect something around them.
