Christopher - 07/20/2020Purchased these alongside a Rhino Rack roof rack system and love them. The paddle holders are great, and I enjoy how these fold up and down and can be calibrated to the width of the vehicle. These feel very sturdy. I recommend Rhino Rack! 774596
These have been excellent. I snap them onto my pickup Rhino Rack roof carrier to carry the extra kayak when my wife want's to come along on a kayak adventure. 717359
Sturdy cradle and easy to install. Difficult to keep tie down strap looped over top of "U" bar while trying to get it over the kayak, keeps slipping down. We made a channel out of foam to keep the strap in place and now it is easy. 557577
Jim - 08/24/2019These mounts are great! I bought two of them to mount on the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars (RRRS118B) along with one set of Anchor Straps (RRRBAS-2). I really like that the angle is adjustable with markers to be consistent. It makes mounting your paddle on the upright bars before placing the kayak a piece of cake. I dont normally leave them on if not in use because it wouldn't take much to steal them and the added drag isn't necessary. I considered only getting one and buying the extension piece (RRS512X). However, I was concerned about where I would put the second paddle and having the ability to mount 2 kayaks at angles less than vertical seemed like a bonus. Considering the small price difference it was worth it to me to get two. The straps that come with are more than sufficient for any car and probably most trucks. The blue ones are a bit long for my application. I had an issue keeping the excess length contained on the freeway, probably going to cut them. All together, these mounts are very sturdy and give a great deal of confidence even with a crosswind on the freeway. Note on the photos: I have a hitch on my car with chain loops so I only needed the anchors for the front. 519828
simple installation and feels rock solid. I like the paddle clip, I might get another pair. 875261
I have had about a year to use this and I have no regrets. I have a 2018 Subaru Outback and I have absolutely no trouble taking these on and off. The kayaks load very easy and the carrier’s fold up very nice. They are holding up very well. 851597
Great product and great delivery. Communication from etrailer was good and delivery was early! Product was easy to install and is a quality product. 845910
The rhino kayak carrier is super easy to install. It is made very well. It is sturdy and love the paddle holder. 844892
After having this product for a year, I can say we are very happy with it and would most certainly purchase again. We coupled this with the Rhino Rack J hooks to transport our kayak, and have used multiple times without issue. This system fit perfectly on my 2018 Atlas, which unfortunately was totaled, and I was able to transfer to my 2021 Atlas without issue. With the J hooks installed, you cannot open the sunroof on the Atlas, as there is not enough clearance, but once the J hooks are removed and only the crossbars installed, you can use without issue. Of note, you can still use the tilt function with the J hooks installed, just not fully open. I remove the J hooks when I am not transporting my kayak, so this is a non issue for me. Also worth adding, the customer service from etrailer is top notch; they reached out after my purchase to make sure everything was received as needed, and they are also the best priced, by far. 848607
Got my kayak racks today. Easy installation, easy to operate and they look great too! I'd recommend them! 818699
This is an excellent product. Easy installation, fits wide load bars. Folding mechanism works easily and is very secure. Tie-down straps provided are top quality. 818423
The Rhino Rack is excellent. Solid and sturdy and comes with quality ropes and tie downs and clips that won't ruin your car during tie down. A great buy that will last and will keep the driver without worries. 808706
The screws are too long for my Ford Escape with factory installed roof racks. 806896
Awesome service and speedy delivery!! Thanks, etrailer! 779429
Naturally they fit the rhino rack system perfectly, but they adjust quickly and hold in place really well. I like the lay-flat feature too, keeps me from having to remove them if I need to use the rack for other things in between kayak trips. 772091
Good quality product, a shame my Cobra Tandem is too wide. Item description should contain kayak dimension limits a well as weight limits. 732079
I am extremely happy with the new Rhino rack to carry my kayak. The product makes it easy to tie down for short or long trips. I just transported my kayak over 10 hours and the tie downs recommended for the front and back worked great. Thank you Lori B for your recommendations and assistance. 680924
