I wouldn't rely too much on that measure of reliability. Much like metal fatigue there is also plastic fatigue, so you won't have a major problem at all until you very much do.
Best to rather look at something like what S200KYS posted, which mounts to the threaded mounting points. Much stronger, much less chance of killing other road users

I can recommend the Jimny bits rack. I got lucky and picked one for sale local to me. Bolts onto the original rail mounts on the roof.
