Recommendation to Carry Two Kayaks on Roof of 2009 Buick Enclave

Question:

What would you recommend to carry two kayaks on a 2009 Buick Enclave? I would need cross bars to attach to the factory rails, plus the kayak carriers? Many thanks

Expert Reply:

To carry two kayaks on your 2009 Buick Enclave you will need to use the Rhino Rack Custom DK Clamps and Pads, part # DK224, that you have referenced, along with either the Rhino Rack Aero Crossbars- Black, part # DA1375B, or the Rhino Rack Aero Crossbars- Silver, part # DA1375. This setup will give you the crossbars on the roof of your vehicle, that run from side-to-side, and allow you an attachment point for a kayak carrier. I am including a link to a video review of the Rhino roof rack being installed on a 2008 Buick Enclave.

With the crossbars installed on your vehicle you can now use the Rhino Rack S400 Series Saddle-Style Kayak Carrier, part # S400-1, which are four saddle-style cradles that will hold one kayak to the roof rack on your vehicle. You will need two of these part numbers to carry two kayaks. I am including a link to a video review on the kayak carrier.

I also offer the Rhino Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, part # S511, and the Rhino Rack Extension Arms, part # S511X, which will allow you carry two kayaks on the roof of your vehicle in an upright position. I am including a link to the instructions on the J-Style kayak carrier and the extension arms.
