This kit is an easy way to carry a kayak on most roof rack crossbars and naked roofs. Foam blocks provide a safe surface between your vehicle and boat. Included straps and tie-downs ensure that your kayak stays in place during transport.
This is a simple product bundle for basic transport, I wouldn't go on a freeway with something like this. Maybe the bundle is a bit pricey for what it actually is (some foam and tie-downs). It doesnt really seem to fit my minivan which has a fiberglass top, or fit my small row boat either, so I have not found a use for it.
One nice thing is that all the items are kept well and tightly in the product case. It is thin plastic but has held up to lugging around and stayed closed (plastic has some tabs that close it back up). So the various parts of this bundle won't get lost as long as they are put back in the same case they came in. The included instructions are somewhat good (as opposed to not having any instructions at all).
Exactly what I wanted.
etrailer never lets me down!
Trailer has been great towing our kayaks but have a issue backing it up. Probably because
the tongue of trailer is so long, but I can un-hitch and move with ease.
Product looks great, exactly as advertised. My only concern is that the installation instructions cautioned against mounting the kayak pads over a sunroof, which I will probably ignore since my kayak is only 46 lbs. nonetheless, I wish the ad had mentioned this about using without a roof rack.
Only a few minutes after I placed the order for my Deluxe Kayak Carrier, I received notification that the 'wheels are in motion.' I see the names and photos of the people who are preparing my order. Instantly, this personal touch tells me that my item is being handled carefully and efficiently. I've never seen anything like this. Why aren't more companies doing this? A few days later my product arrives safely at my home. You would think that I'd have paddling on my mind after it arrived. Instead, I kept thinking about customer service. I only hope my kayaking trips run just as smoothly.
The product arrived quickly and meets my high expectations. The 4/5 stars is because of one issue. I wondered why the instructions say the green straps go through the vehicle and not just around the side bars. My first time using it, I ran the straps through the vehicle, and later it rained buckets. When I got into the vehicle, I found the rain had channeled along the green straps and dripped enough water to soak sections of the four seats. Perhaps running the green straps through the side bars provides less security or makes more noise, but I'm going through them next time.
Very quick, simple and efficient solution at great price.
Works adequately for carrying a kayak occasionally.
Easy to install and looks very nice on Mazda CX-5
