ECOTRIC Kayak Roof Rack J-Bar Rack HD Universal Kayak Carrier Holder Canoe Boat Surf Ski Board Roof Top Mounted on Crossbar for Car SUV Truck Set of 4

Excelente para mi Toyota Rav4 2022 aun que hay que ayudar con un poco de tela la parte inferior del soporte por que no encaja bien en la barra.

I bought these not expecting a whole lot because they are less expensive than most other kayak racks. When I received them I was impressed by how nice they are. Then I became disappointed when I began assembling the rack and found out I was missing a few of the parts. Customer service from the company turned out to be outstanding in helping to resolve the problem and they sent me the parts I needed. Amazon was also helpful in resolving the problem. In the end, I'm happy with the quality of the rack (especially given the economical price), as well as the help received from the company, the vendor, and Amazon. These racks will work well for hauling my lightweight kayaks on my old SUV's roof crossbars, and I would not hesitate to buy from this company. again. Assembly does take a while and requires several different tools. The only "con" I have to say about the fitment of the product is that the bottom plate that holds the rack to the crossbar is not shaped as it should be for the best fit on common flattened oval crossbars. A handy person might want to modify (flatten) them to fit better. Otherwise, they can be used as-is, but the center of the fastening bracket will not make contact with the crossbar. In my case, I found that putting a strip of foam weather stripping in the center of the U-shaped fastening bracket really helped the bracket to tighten to my crossbars and also helps prevent scratching or damaging the crossbars.

Reasonable price but work well for what we used them for

Assembl I ngbthese had been indicated as being very difficult in many of the reviews. I found if I put soapy water in the holes before the bolts, they definitely slipped in MUCH easier than dry. The first couple of bolts I did dry and they took at least 30 minutes to force into the holes and aligning them was difficult at best. There may have been a few tears shed. So, I sat there looking at them and had an epiphany......... when we were kids changing flat tires, I remember always using some soapy water to get the tires back on the rims. Tried adding soapy water on the super tight tirelike holes and each on slipped in much much more easily. 2 in 30 min dry, 14 with soapy water 10 minutes. Lesson learned. The quality of the kayaks carriers appears to be very good and they were very sturdy on the roof of the traverse. We took kayaks out and my daughter will use them on her jeep for both kayaks and SUPs. Great deal for a great product. Very happy. Oh and the straps do work well if you are used to this type of mechanism but I can see where small ratcheting straps could be desireable......

They can work. On a flat rack, they do not feel like they fit right. You have to mess with them to get it to sit right. I think they are really meant for round or oval racks even though it is supposed to be universal. The tightening and loosening of it is a bit of a pain. I plan on leaving these on for the summer on my SUV. If you are thinking of doing that, you're fine. If you're thinking of mounting/dismounting with every trip, I'd advise to look at something else.

My wife and I love getting out on the water in our canoe and kayak and these things have insane versatility to carry whatever we throw up there. We recently got a cat (which I’m mildly allergic to) so when we have long car rides we just throw Mr. Sassy up there to keep me from wheezing on the way to her parents. Works great, I have no allergies and the cat gets a breeze in his face! Do make sure to only put stuff up there that can handle the elements. It was my job to pick up my bosses retirement party BLT super sub and I thought “what the heck” and strapped it up on the roof (better than trying to fit a 8 foot hoagie in my car!). It ended up pouring down rain on the drive back to work, the sun was ruined. My boss showed up to his party and turned on the lights to the sound of “surprise!” a pile of my wet meat on his desk as a goodbye present. Talk about being surprised! He loved it so much I’ve got a meeting with HR next week, I think I’m getting a promotion! Overall, great product and highly recommend.

I got these and installed them on a HF trailer. I did have to buy longer bolts so they would wrap around the frame, but now I have a trailer that holds a bunch of kayaks for only a few hundred dollars. Good product!
