• Rack Options For Carrying A Paddleboard And Kayak
  
• If you have crossbars on your vehicle we may be able to come up with a solution for you to be able to carry a kayak and a paddleboard at the same time. You will need to determine if you have enough room to hold both items. I recommend the Thule SUP Shuttle Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier, part # TH811XT. It has a telescoping design that will allow paddle boards up to 34 inches wide. This carrier fits round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory crossbars, and can hold up to 2 paddleboards....

• Recommended Roof Rack for 2019 Honda CR-V to Carry a Canoe
  
• The roof rack I strongly recommend for your 2019 Honda CR-V is the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack because it gives your CR-V a rack that is highly functional with a refined look. The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack is made up of: - Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 (Black) OR # RRVA137S-2 (Silver) - Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA - Fit Kit # DK284. This roof rack uses aerodynamic bars that have rubber vortex strips in its top channels which greatly minimize the amount of wind noise and drag you might...

• A solution for you to connect the bow tie-down on your Yakima SweetRoll # Y04074 is to use Thule Quick Loops # TH530. These provide mounting points in either the front or rear of your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon by installing directly under the hood or rear hatch. I've included a video for you to take a look at.

• Adding Tie Down Anchors to Secure a Kayak on a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  
• To answer your last question, I do have experience with this exact issue. A lot of people have run into this problem. It isn't always easy to find tie down points on a vehicle whether that vehicle is a 2015 Subaru Outback or a 1956 Rocket 88. But I have an excellent solution for you. You can use the Thule Quick Loops, # TH530. You won't have to remove any bolts, just close the cylinder under the hood (away from anything that gets hot of course!) and the other in the rear hatch. The...

• Must the Bow and Stern Tie Down Ropes be Used When Carrying a Kayak on a Subaru Outback
  
• The J-Stacker Kayak Carrier, # SR5511, is one of our most popular kayak carriers and is designed to work on Thule square bars, round bars and most factor crossbars. This kayak carrier would be my recommendation for your Subaru Outback. It is required to tie down the bow and stern when carrying a kayak on top of a vehicle. I spoke with my contact at SportRack and found out that the ropes are made of a soft polypropylene material that should not damage the paint on your vehicle. These...

• How Does the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap Work with the Thule T2 Platform Bike Rack
  
• To use the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, # 18050, with a bike you would normally attach the # 18050 support strap at the trunk lip near the back glass on the vehicle. With the Thule T2 bike rack, # TH9045, you would need to find a place to attach the hook on the end of the support strap so that the strap and buckle do not contact the vehicle. One option I have come up with is to use a Quick Loop Tie-Down, # TH530, along with a continuous loop strap like part # 753-2030-03. You can...

• Tie Down Location for a Kayak or Canoe for the Front of a 2014 Toyota Highlander
  
• If you are talking about carrying a kayak or canoe on the roof and need somewhere to tie off the bow to the front of your 2014 Toyota Highlander I think I have the perfect solution for you. Take a look at the Thule Quick Loops, # TH530. You will close the cylinder under the hood and leave the strap hanging out providing a quick, easy, and inexpensive tie down point. There is a similar model, # TH529, that you can attach under a bolt.

• Securing the Bow of a Kayak or Canoe on a Ford Edge
  
• Securing the front tie down for a kayak or canoe under the hood is common. Thule offers the Hood Loops, # TH529, and Quick Loops, # TH530, so you do not have to attach the hook directly to the edge of the hood. I would strongly recommend using these products. You can also use them for your rear hatch if you do not have a strong attachment point for the stern tie down. I have attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

• Recommended Kayak Carrier for Factory Roof Rack on 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
  
• According to Thule, their Hull-A-Port # TH834 is a fit for the factory crossbars on your 2012 Outback. To carry two kayaks, you would need two of the carriers. The Hull-A-Port has a 75 lb capacity, you will need to ensure that the weight capacity of your vehicle roof and its rack will not be exceeded by the weight of your kayaks. You should be able to find the roof rack capacity in the owners manual or perhaps on a sticker placed on the rack itself. The Hull-A-Ports include bow and stern...

• Tips on Securing the Tie Down Ropes For a Kayak Carrier on a Cadillac SRX
  
• You will need to secure the bow and stern of the kayak when it is mounted to the roof of the vehicle. The Thule Glide and Set Rooftop Kayak Carrier System, # TH896, comes with tie downs for this purpose. But like you have found out, finding a good tie down location can be difficult. I would look for any holes in the frame at the front and rear of the vehicle you can loop the tie downs through. The ratcheting hooks should provide an easy on/off functionality once you locate a good tie...

• Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Mini Cooper Carrying an Old Kayak
  
• The roof rack that you will want to use on your new 2012 Mini Cooper is the Rhino-Rack # RRRS721B. It has a great factory look to it. You can lay your old kayak directly on the roof rack, but I recommend using some sort of padding such as the Swagman Foam Blocks, # S65156, or an even better option would be a j-style carrier such as Swagman Contour J-Style Carrier, # S65148. The j-style carrier comes with straps, but the foam blocks do not. If you choose the foam blocks, then you...

• Does Thule Make a Slide-Out Crossbar Extension to Make Loading Rooftop Cargo Easier on 2008 Liberty
  
• Thule offers their Outrigger II Load Support Bar, part # TH847, for use with their standard square load bars. (It will not work with Thule AeroBlade load bars.) This item inserts into the hollow square load bar and extends out to provide a pivot point for loading a kayak. The Outrigger II can support a kayak or other water craft of up to 75 lbs weight. It includes a load-stop to prevent the kayak from slipping off the bar during loading and unloading. Please note that 2 inches of the...

• Making Easy to Access Tie Down Points for a Canoe on a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  
• I have the perfect product for you and your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. I recommend the Quick Loops for Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 Item # TH530. Close the cylinder of one under the hood and the cylinder for the other close in the rear hatch, leaving the straps out on both, and that will create 2 easy to access and use tie down points to secure the canoe. I have linked a video below showing how they work.

• Kayak Carrier for a 2016 Subaru Outback and Hobie Mirage Outback Kayak
  
• For a kayak carrier that is a direct fit to the factory crossbars on your 2016 Subaru Outback I recommend the Yakima Even Keel, # Y04052. The four saddles and tie down straps will easily secure your kayak. I looked up the Hobie Mirage Outback and it weighs 81 to 99 pounds depending on how it is equipped. This carrier will support that weight range. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you. Since kayaks have to be tied down at the bow and stern as well I often...

• Fit of Thule Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier on 2014 Subaru Outback with OEM Roof Rack
  
• According to Thule, their Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier is indeed a fit for the crossbars on your 2014 Outback. The mounts will fit crossbar profiles that are up to 3 inches wide and 1-1/4 inches thick. The Top Deck carrier includes the saddles, mounting hardware, straps and bow/ stern die-downs. I also recommend the Thule Quick Loops, part # TH530. The Quick Loops will close in the hood and rear hatch openings, and provide a good attachment point so the metal hooks for the tie-downs...

• Recommendation for 2 Kayak Carrier for Rola Roof Rack # 59766 on 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  
• For the Rola Sports Series Roof Rack # 59766 you referenced for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, I recommend the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073. It's a J-style carrier that allows you to carry 2 kayaks on your car at once. Use part # Y04031 for a second set of tie-downs. You might be interested in the Thule Quick Loops # TH530, which establishes a better attachment point for the bow/stern tie-downs. They can be installed directly on your vehicle with no drilling required and come with a...

• Will the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack Support an Extension Ladder on a 2013 Scion xB
  
• You can carry an extension ladder on your 2013 Scion xB with the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack, but there are a few factors you will want to take into consideration. Once this roof rack is installed, you will have a crossbar spread of 45 inches. The crossbar spread is the distance from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. The most important factor to consider is the weight of the ladder. The Yakima Q-Tower crossbars have a weight capacity of 165 lbs, however,...

• Where to Install the Thule Hood Loop Strap TH529
  
• You will want to install the Hood Loops for Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs # TH529 by either using existing hardware under the hood (taking out a bolt and re-installing it with the loop) or by drilling out your own hole and using hardware acquired at your local hardware store. If you do not want to drill into anything under your hood and you do not feel comfortable taking out existing hardware and using that, then Thule has another solution with their Quick Loops for Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs...

• Can you Carry Three Kayaks on a 2018 Honda CR-V
  
• The owner's manual for your 2018 Honda CR-V states that the roof load capacity for your vehicle is 165 lbs. This means that weight of the kayaks, roof rack, and carrier must not exceed the above capacity. In addition to weight restraints, you are also going to have the obviously size restriction issue. One of the only options we have to haul three kayaks on the roof of a vehicle is with the Thule Stacker part # TH830. However, it is not a guarantee that you will be able to fit all three...

• Kayak Carrier And Bike Rack Options For 2014 Chevrolet Spark With Naked Roof
  
• I did some research on your 2014 Chevrolet Spark and per the owner's manual it states that no more than 110 lbs can be carried on the roof or the vehicle could suffer damage. Carrying 2 kayaks would not be an option because the weight on the roof with the kayaks, roof rack, and kayak carrier would exceed the roof weight limit. If carrying one kayak is an option for you I recommend the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack, part # RRRS284B. This roof rack has quiet aerodynamic black crossbars...

• How to Secure Front and Back Kayak Carrier Straps When Carrying Kayak on Roof of Vehicle
  
• What you could use for the rear strap (and front strap), when securing a kayak to the roof of your vehicle is the Quick Loops part # TH530. This will allow the strap to be secured with the hood or rear hatch of your vehicle. As long as you have roof weight capacity for the two of your kayaks and carriers you could use two of the # Y04042 on the roof of your vehicle. The width of this carrier is right at 20 inches so you will need to verify you have long enough crossbars.

• How to Attach Vehicle Anchor Straps on a 2011 Kia Soul to Secure a Canoe
  
• The vehicle anchor straps can be mounted using some existing locations under the hood of your 2011 Kia Soul or you could use your own hardware. They used an existing bolt to secure one end of the strap for # TH529. For the back or another option for the front take a look at # TH530. This design has a large tube that cannot be pulled out once the hood or hatch is closed. You can then use a tie down kit like # TH855XT. I have included a link to a video of # TH530 for you to view.

• Fit of SportRack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier # SR5511 on Thule AeroBlade Load Bars
  
• SportRack is actually a division of Thule. The J-Stacker Kayak Carrier you mentioned is compatible with crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide, since the Thule AeroBlade crossbars are 3 inches wide, the J-Stacker will indeed fit. The J-Stacker does come with bow and stern tie downs, but I would also recommend the Thule Quick Loops, part # TH530. The quick loops can be closed into the trunk and hood of the vehicle, and would offer a quick and easy to use attachment point for the tie downs. I...

• Recommended Roof Mounted Crossbars and Kayak Carrier for 2007 Lexus RX 350
  
• In order to install a kayak carrier on your RX350, you will need to start with a set of crossbars on your roof, if you do not already have them. If you click the link I have provided, you can see the various crossbar systems available for your vehicle.

Once the crossbars are in place, a kayak...

• SportRack offers a budget friendly J-style kayak carrier, part # SR5511. The carrier will fit roof rack crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide, your Rola crossbars are 3-1/8 inches wide, so the carriers will fit just fine. Two of the carriers will fit on your Rola rack. Your crossbars have a 132 lb weight capacity, but you will need to make sure that the weight of the kayaks and the carriers does not exceed the capacity of the rack or the vehicle roof. You should be able to locate the capacity...

Be sure you check the weight capacity of your vehicles roof and roof rack to ensure you do not overload your roof or roof rack.

• Is there a Wider Roof Rack Crossbar Spread for a 2017 Subaru Outback
  
• I checked with Yakima and when using the SkyLine towers # Y00148 the bar spread can be as much as 30-1/2 inches on center. In addition to the towers you will also need Landing Pad 15, # Y00241, and bars # Y00428. The length of your item at 78 inches is not going to be a problem provided that you have it properly secured to the vehicle. There are cargo boxes listed as a fit with this roof rack installed that are even longer than 78 inches. I don't know what it is you want to carry...
