Specs:
The Malone FoldAway-5 is a great option for paddlers who use a variety of watercraft, and anyone that likes to bring a friend along. With different configurations to fit your needs, this roof carrier can be adjusted to securely transport 1 or 2 kayaks, 1 canoe or fishing kayak, or 2 SUPs or surfboards. When the arms are in the upright position, you can fit 1 or 2 kayaks side by side.
If you fold the carrier's arms down, you can carry 1 sit-on-top, fishing kayak or a canoe. When carrying a canoe, adjust the carrier so the 2 cradle components are spread across your roof rack. This will let you set your canoe's gunwales on the carrier and transport it hull-side up.
While the carrier is in the folded down position, you can add the included foam blocks into the space between each carrier. This provides additional padding to protect your SUPs and surfboards when loading and during transport.
If you park your vehicle in a garage and don't want to remove the carrier, put the cradles in the folded down position and remove the foam blocks. If you have a taller vehicle, you may still have to remove the carrier to park in the garage.
The carrier includes 2 cam-buckle straps and integrated strap holders to secure your kayak to the rack. The strap holders attach to the top of the carrier to keep the straps in place while loading your kayaks. A set of bow/stern tie-downs are also included to secure the kayak to the front and back of your vehicle.
If your vehicle doesn't have any tie-down points, you can get an anchor kit (sold separately) which will let you create anchor points in the creases of your vehicle's hood and hatch.
The carrier clamps to most crossbars without the need for tools. Simply set the rack on your crossbars, slide the mounting brackets over the bolts, and secure them with the T-knobs.
