Specs:
The Malone FoldAway-J holds your kayak on its side, leaving plenty of room on your crossbars for another kayak rack, a bike rack, or a cargo carrier. Padding on the arms and base protect your kayak from scratches and scuffs. The arms are adjustable to perfectly fit different size kayaks. They also fold down to increase overhead clearance for parking in your 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 kayak. 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.

The carrier was easy enough to install. As my wife and I are in our 70s, even with a 2 step ladder it was difficult to get the kayaks onto the crossover SUV top. Even with both of us holding up the kayak we had trouble with the straps falling out of place while we were attempting to hold the kayak in place.
Do you have a question about this Watersport Carrier?
