The straps really disappointed me. They don't hold tight and I went back to ratchet straps which are a big pain and the reason I tried this item in the first place.
BUT - the anchors are excellent and I consider it all a break even since I use them. Maybe you should offer those paired with some other type of strap with better buckle and holding power. All that aside - etrailer is an excellent vendor. Incredible customer service, amazing range of options. No store like it.

This tie-down kit is awesome. Good choice in tie-down options, strap lengths and anchor points. It really simplified traveling with our kayaks!

Works well, I find myself putting the kayaks up, then just tucking in the extra lengths inside my car doors. The front/back kayak straps are tricky to use, and then flap like more than expected in the wind.

The kayak tie-down kit worked well for my situation with my car. Our Acura MDX would have been a bigger challenge to tie the kayak to the front of the car. I am pleased with my purchase.

The straps were fine but I just bought a sturdier pair last week. The tie down foam pieces don’t really fit in my truck or hood so I’ve never used them. I have a 2017 ford escape.

Oh wow, I am so sorry to hear that your item arrived like this. We usually keep a good eye on the quality of the product before we send it out, so I am a bit surprised. We do have a demonstration and installation team that opens and tests out the product. They are supposed to be making sure that the product is in pristine condition in order to be put back on the shelf. Let me get you over to our customer service department for them to get a return process set up for you.

- What is the Best Way to Carry 2 Kayaks on a 2015 Subaru Forester With No Side Rails?Your first step will be to pick a roof rack set that fits your vehicle. I've included a link below that takes you directly to the list of roof racks that are compatible with your vehicle, but I also have recommendations based on your intended goal. First, the rack kit I recommend is the Thule AeroBlade Edge Aero Bar, consisting of: - Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack, part # TH7602-TH7602 - Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Foot Pack, part # THKIT3079 This will provide both stylish and aerodynamic...
view full answer... - Availability of Canoe Tie-Down Anchors for Hood on 2025 Chevy TraxHey Pat! The anchor kit for the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Roof Rack # MPG112MD would be the Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops for Bow and Stern Tie-Downs # MPG308. These will fit under your hood and rear hatch so you will have anchor points for the straps. If you were looking for a complete kit with straps we also have the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR. Any big plans with your canoe this fall?
view full answer... - Which Kayak Rack Fits The T-Slot Channel On Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars?For a kayak carrier that fits the channel of your Thule Evo Wingbar crossbars, I would look into the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR. You do not need any other hardware or adapters. This carrier is very versatile and does not require any tie-down straps because of the rubberized ratcheting hooks that will keep the kayak secured. Integrated locks help to deter theft of your gear. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Is it Possible to Have a Single Crossbar on my Camper with Tracks and a Crossbar Mounted on My Cab?For having one 65-inch Rhino-Rack heavy Duty Crossbar on your camper shell's factory tracks and having one mounted on the cab of your 2018 Ford F-150, you need the following parts: For the single HD crossbar on the shell: - 65" Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars part # RB1650B-2 - Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks - Qty 2 # RRRLT600H - Roof Rack Leg Spacer Blocks for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars part # RRQMHD05 For the single...
view full answer... - Will LockRack Series-X Watersport Carrier Fit 2021 Land Rover Defender OEM Rack ChannelsHey Nicole! Yes, the LockRack Series-X Universal Watersport Carrier # LR88FR will fit the channels on your OEM roof rack. We also recommend adding bow and stern tie-down straps like the # e36ZR to keep everything nice and secure. What kind of watercraft will you be carrying?
view full answer... - Best Roof Rack For 2025 Honda Passport Trail Sport With Factory Roof RailsHello John, thanks for reaching out. Yes we do offer roof racks for the 2025 Honda Passport trail sport with the factory roof rails. What I recommend is the Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack for Raised Rails # Y57SD. This is a full roof rack system that comes with 60" aero crossbars. The crossbars have a 165 lb capacity. For carrying your canoe, my favorite canoe mount is the LockRack Series-X Universal Watersport Carrier # LR88FR. It is super durable, easy to use, and fully lockable. Then...
view full answer... - Are There Examples Of The Lockrack Universal X Watersports Carrier With A CanoeHey Luis, We currently only have pictures of the Lockrack Universal X Watersport Carrier # LR88FR with kayaks, but canoes would fit in this carrier the same way. You'd just need to flip the canoe upside down and get it on the carriers, and then push in the ratcheting arms. Once the arms are locked in place it's not required but, you can add a bit of extra security for the canoe with a bow and stern strap # e36ZR.
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Compatible With My Roll N Lock Retractible Tonneau Cover On My 2018 Ram 2500With any tonneau cover, the TracRac you're looking at # TH27000XT-EX will not work. These ladder racks need to have acces to the inside rails of your truck bed. The only option you may have is the Thule TracRac SR # TH43003XT-501 and that will only work if you have clear access to your steak pockets. If you do not, a ladder rack with your tonneau cover will not work. If the ladder rack does work just put your kayaks top side down on the ladder rack bars. Use the load stops to get them...
view full answer... - What SeaSucker System do You Recommend to Use for My Kayak? I have a great SeaSucker solution for you to transport your kayak. However, with the SeaSucker Surfboard Carrier - 2 Surfboards or SUPs # 298-BX1806, this carrier is not extendable and they are only designed to work with either surfboards or stand-up paddleboards. With that being said, we do have a SeaSucker system that works for a kayak. For that route, I recommend using the Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B with the crossbar pads # 298-SA1022 to protect your kayak. The Monkey Bars come with...
view full answer... - Can The Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier Be Used Without Bow/Stern Tie Downs?Yes, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR will absolutely work with the aero bars on your 2023 Toyota Corolla. The clamps on the Lockrack carrier are designed to be universal, and will fit virtually and crossbar shape, including your aero bars. It can also hold up to 175 lbs, so you will not be even close to capacity with your kayak. It is true that the Lockrack carriers do not require the use of load straps. The ratcheting arms are rubber coated and will be extremely strong/secure....
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for 2019 Honda CR-V to Carry a CanoeThe 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 - 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 encounter. The design of the bars, as well...

- Can 2 Yakima JayLow J-Style Kayak Carriers Be Used to Carry 2 Kayaks on a Subaru OutbackYes, you can use two Yakima JayLow Kayak Racks, # Y04073, on your Subaru Outback to carry two kayaks at a time. 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. You may also be interested in etrailer tie-down kit, # e36ZR, or Thule hood loops, # TH529, to provide secure attachment points for the bow and stern tie downs of your kayaks. I have attached an FAQ article on roof-mounted water sport carriers for...
view full answer... - J-Style Kayak Carrier For Toyota 4Runner Factory Crossbars That Are Very LowI took a look at some photos of the crossbars on your 2019 Toyota 4Runner, and you weren't kidding when you said there wasn't much clearance. Thankfully, there is exactly one J-style kayak carrier that lack of clearance won't be a problem for, and that's called the Kuat V2, is available in either black or gray: - Black: Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # KU53VR - Gray: Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # KU33VR The reason this will work with such limited clearance...
view full answer... - Is The Thule Wingbar Evo or Edge Better For Carrying a Kayak and Paddle Board on a Lincoln Aviator?I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 with the Feet # TH710601 and Fit Kit # TH66RV on your Lincoln Aviator. Having the extra length of the bars will help reduce the chances of your kayak hitting your vehicle when loading and unloading. This fits the new Aviator currently 2020-2023. The Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars # TH69FE with the Feet # TH89SC and Fit Kit # TH66RV having the rounded ends would allow for the kayak to slide off the edge of the bar and hit the roof...
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2021 Subaru Outback with Retractable Cross Roof RackHey Bonnie, Subaru's retractable roof rack is pretty cool. I've had a few customers come through with it and Subaru did a great job of making practical and stylish use out of their roof rack. The crossbars are a pretty standard size and can carry up to 150 lbs, so you will have no problem carrying most kayaks. We have a couple different carrier options that might be good for you. If you don't mind lifting the kayak onto the roof by yourself and are someone who likes the best bang for...
view full answer... - Best Lader Rack Setup For Carrying Lumber And Kayaks On A 2024 Ram 1500Out of everything available for the 2024 Ram 1500 6.5' bed, the best option is the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-59. There are a few reasons that we recommend this one specifically. First, is uses a 78" long heavy-duty crossbar. So you will have plenty of room for lumber and/or a couple of kayaks. The on-road weight capacity is 500 lbs, which will allow you to haul basically whatever you want - from lumber and kayaks to full size cargo box, or even a roof top tent. One cool thing about...
view full answer... - Option For Carrying A Hobie Outback Kayak On A 2" Square Tube Lumber RackIt is possible to secure your Hobie outback kayak to your 2" square tube lumber rack. The Yakima HandRoll # Y04082 will not work for this with this kind of rack though. This will be the case for pretty much any other Yakima or other brand rack since they are pretty much all made to fit the more standard roof rack crossbar shapes, none of which are a 2" square. What I suggest doing is using a simple crossbar pad like the Malone Rack Pad # MPG314. This will fit a 2" square tube and they...
view full answer... - Bow and Stern Tie-Down Connection Points on a 2017 Subaru Outback WagonA solution for you to connect the bow tie-down on your Yakima SweetRoll # Y04074 is to use etrailer tie down kit # e36ZR. 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.
view full answer... - Can you Carry Three Kayaks on a 2018 Honda CR-VThe 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak/Paddleboard Carrie for a 2020 Kiat ForteI have a watersport carrier for you. First, though, in order to mount any carrier to the roof of your 2020 Kia Forte, you will need a roof rack. I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711400. They are 53"-long aero-style crossbars, making them compatible with most accessories. To mount them to your roof, you will need the Evo Clamp Feet, part # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet, part # TH145162. For the carrier, you won't have enough room...
view full answer... - Roof Rack For 2014 Nissan Versa Note For Carrying KayakI recommend using the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # RR66QR. The easiest way to carry a kayak is a foam pad like this one # RRRWP04. This is easy to just lay up your kayak face down. You can use this tie down kit # e36ZR to secure it down. The two straps go under your crossbars and around your kayak. The Bow and stern tie down will go in the engine bay and in your trunk. I've included a video of me using them so check that out!
view full answer... - Compatibility of Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 on 2013 Toyota RAV4 with Factory Roof RackAccording to Thule, their Hull-A-Port # TH834 is compatible with the factory roof rack on your 2013 Toyota RAV4. For two kayaks, you would need two carriers. If your kayaks are less than 10 feet long, you could use the Thule Stacker, part # TH830 which can carry two kayaks with no problem. The Stacker is also compatible with your factory rack. Both the Hull-A-Port and the Stacker include straps and bow/stern tie-downs, but I would highly recommend the Thule Hood Loops, part # TH529. The...
view full answer... - Roof Rack For 2014 Ford Escape For Carrying KayaksSince your 2014 Ford Escape has a naked roof, you can simply add a roof rack system that clamps onto your door jambs, so you don't need to spend the extra $600 to get additional side rails. We have the perfect option for '14 Escape, which is a rack from Rhino-Rack. The reason I like this option the best is because it is the best value for a roof rack; the quality is the same (or higher) than similar name brands, but at a better price point. Going with the Rhino-Rack allows you to get...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2018 Chevrolet MalibuWe have plenty of kits that will work great for your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu. I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426, BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06123. These components will make up your roof rack. As far as a kayak rack to haul your kayaks, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 is a great option because it comes with straps to tie your kayaks to the carrier and bow/stern straps with anchors. You would need two kits, one for each kayak. If you would...
