Bounced? I have two sets on my Jeep Cherokee. It may be the very long base 
they sit on with the bars at the farther ends of the factory rack but I have 
never had a moment of worry with my Hully-rollers and saddles in over 2000 
miles with the boats on the car. My main concern with square bars is that the 
saddles are at an angle if the roof isn't flat. Maybe there is an adjustment 
you make but I don't know about that part.
