Kayak Carrier Options for Rola Roof Rack on 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan

Question:

I have a Rola roof rack Part Number: 59898 for my 2013 VW Tiguan. It seems to take special Rola accessories and I dont see any kayak carrier. Do you sell ones that fit this rack and if so which are they? Thanks.

The Rola roof rack 59898 is a confirmed fit on the 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan that has factory-installed roof side rails that run front-to-back on the car's roof. This rack features the quieter elliptical bar profile that generates less wind noise than basic round and square bar racks. The bars also feature a center channel that allows use of T-slot-mount accessories, such as the Rhino-Rack kayak carrier system # RR581.

The linked page displays all kayak carriers that fit on elliptical bars, including carrier that do not use the T-slot to mount, such as the Yakima JayLow # Y04073.
