Recommendation for Kayak carrier on my Thule Xsporter
Question:
Does the Malone foam kayak block require strapping down to the cross bar on my Thule Xsporter rack or does the cut out hold it in place? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks part # MPG159 is a big favorite for a lot f customers trying to do exactly what you are doing. They are large enough to fit around the larger crossbars that the Xporter has rather than most of the others for regular crossbars.
To hold them n if your don't have a good way yet use the etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps w/ Buckle Protectors part # E98876-4 this is a 4 pack of straps that have buckle protectors to keep the hulls looking good and keeprs to secure the excess in so it doesn't flap around
