Anyone have experience purchasing from eBay? Found these official looking roof racks on eBay for fraction of the price. Seems too good to be true. eBay listing

The critical parts are the tiny metal brackets (see on the bottom right).
The bolts used seems different from the Tesla. (See my posting)
I received directly a new set of screws and bolts from Yakima following a Tesla recall.
I don't think I was be able to use a flat wrench, I had to use an Allen wrench.
This a very critical area, and Tesla recommend using a torque wrench.
Also a film protection, with the location of the brackets on the roof should be installed, should be included.
And the eBay model don't seem to be lockable.
From other threads stories, a good recommendation if you are not comfortable doing the installation,
to mitigate any glass damages, is to have the rack installed at the Service Center for may be $60.
