Description of the problem	The roof rack that came with the rav4 states that each strut can hold 100lbs, but in the manual it states that it is 100 lbs total. I purchased some lumber and my roof rack failed on the return trip home. I believe it happened when i was driving on the highway. One side of each strut broke and dented the roof of my car. If the other side of the struts failed there would have been some devastation behind me as lumber and roof rack parts would have flown off behind me. I do not know the exact weight of the lumber, but based on the quantity i purchased i can assume it weighed around 110-120 lbs. If i knew that it couldn't handle 200lbs like i was led to believe, i would have easily put one board or all of them in the car instead of the roof rack. I would also assume that toyota would have some sort of factor of safety on the struts. Also the side of the struts that didn't fail i assume had an increased load applied to them. This would make me think that there could be a problem in their molding process as well. The picture shows that each one says that it can take 100lbs evenly distributed. My point if my tire says 40psi max then i don't fill it to 10psi because there are 4 of them. The struts are also separate pieces, what if i mixed and matched or only had one on the car. Also these struts are sold with the rav4 model i got and not purchased as aftermarket or as an add on item.
