    BEWARE! Seller admitted that it DID NOT describe the Xitomer cargo rack correctly, this after I told them the one I received was not the one I purchased/was described). I HAVE NOT BEEN REIMBURSED GOR SHIPPING THE INCORRECTLY DESCRIBED ITEM BACK TO THEM. Also, all during the process, This seller IS VERY BAD AT COMMUNICATING—days would go by with no response… I WILL NEVER EVER DEAL WITH THIS SELLER/STORE EVER AGAIN AND WILL ALWAYS SPEAK NEGATIVELY ABOUT IT—DON’T DEAL WITH THEM!
