Best Way to Attach Malone Downloader Kayak Carrier to Thule Aeroblade Crossbars  

I recommend picking up the Aero Style Crossbar T-Slot Fit Kit #MPG8287 which comes with bolts, nuts, and washers that will fit in the Yakima HD Bar T-Slots like the 78" part #Y01159. If you're trying to find specific dimensions for your own…

The Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack #TH27000XT has bars which are 4" wide so in order to mount the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs #MPG114MD you will need the Truck Rack T-Slot Fit Kit for Malone Kayak Carriers…

With the T-Channel Mount Kit for Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier #GRDMK you can use any of the Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard carriers as this will allow the carrier to attach to the top channel of the Thule Xsporter. For Grip that can carry up to 6…

I contacted Malone and the Malone XtraLight Trailer (MPG525) is not compatible with Crossbars for Malone MicroSport Trailers - 78" Long part #MPG4001. The only trailer that can use the longer cross bars is the Malone Microsport trailers that…

Instead of using the M8 T-Bolt #853-5715 for the Side Rails for Retrax XR Series Hard Tonneau Covers #RTT-82383 you can use the Square Nut #853-7557 instead. This has the same dimensions as the T-Bolt head section but this has threads for an M6 bolt…

According to Thule, at one time they did the OEM roof racks for BMW/Mini, but that's been several years ago so they can't provide any information on anything more recent than 8 or so years ago. The good news is that I can simply provide you…

The add on Cantilever Extension for Thule TracRac SR, G2, and T-Rac Pro2 Ladder Racks part #TH24002XT or the Cantilever Extension for Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Racks part #TH24001XT will work with the older TracRac. You just have to determine what…

Thule basically purchased TracRac and changed the part numbers but not the actual bars themselves. So if you have the older TA29200 the #TH29200XT is the exact same. Just the feet of this is not available as a replacement part.

The referenced Thule bolt is not the same as the Malone parts but I have what you need. Malone Aero Bars use their own style of T-Bolt Connectors sold in kits. Check out Malone #MPG915 for a 5/8ths inch bolts, or #MPG8287 for a 1-11/16" bolts. I…

Malone AirFlow roof racks like #MPG215 can use their own T-Slot Fit Kit #MPG8287 for Malone carriers or you can use another T-bolt fastener. I linked a photo showing a cross section of the AirFlow bar and the exact inside dimensions. I converted the…

I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack - Aluminum #TH7503-TH7503 as a roof rack system for your kayaks. It's a great sturdy system, and the main perks of this roof rack is how low-profile and quiet it is so you can leave it and go about…

In order to use your Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier #MPG114MD with T-Slot Fit Kit #MPG8287 in the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack #MPG216 you will need to remove the rubber stripping (gasket) in the T-slot channel. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the…
