the 450r are excellent. the strap is heavy duty and coated in a nice rubber. no plastic or metal contacts the side rails. I had them mounted on my 4runner for about 1 year also through the entire winter. no loosening at all. the only gripe I have about them is they make the crossbar sit up just a tad higher than I liked
the solution wish posted is more elegant and if it works for you, probably a lower cost. the 450r footpacks are around CAD $260 for 4, plus you need to buy crossbars on top of that, and locks if you want to prevent theft
