Thanks a lot Patrick!!!
Great product. Never have an issue installing and very secure. Work great and look great!
I have found the roof rack/kayak rack equipment that i purchased last year to be quite satisfactory and worth the purchase price. The problem was when we tried to tie on a paddle board. I realize the rack was not designed specifically for a SUP so it was not necessarily the fault of the rack. Otherwise i am happy with my purchase.
Perfect, and very Secure! I live in the Florida Keys and use these J Racks to transport a 12 Kayak, on my Toyota Corolla, over the many windy bridges, as we travel to our favorite launch site. Also the customer service from etrailer is Top Notch! Keep up the Great Work, you have earned a customer for life!
Fit my Thule perfectly, bought two pair for our 10' kayaks. I strap them down with ratcheting tie downs and they do a great job. I would absolutely buy them again, especially at such a good price. Quality is excellent.
Unfortunately this rack did not fit correctly on my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. The factory rack slopes ups towards the front of the car. This makes the racks crooked. There doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the angle of them. I also noticed that since the rack doesn't fold down, I can not put the pathfinder in the garage with the racks attached. The rack looks like a quality product and attaches easily. I put 1 star because it didn't work for me
I use it at least once per month. Mounting and de-mounting is super fast and you don't need any tools. I am still afraid that our kayaks will fly away one day so I used three fixing ropes for each kayak and they perfectly fits to the carriers. They don't move at all even if driving over 80 MPH. I would definitely recommend it.
Great product exactly as described on the web site. We love being able to mount our kayaks with ease. We also appreciated the video with detailed explanation on how to install the roof mounts onto our roof racks. This company follows up with customers to ensure complete satisfaction. Well done!
These fit great on the roof bars...holds my kayak perfectly...together they are a great set...like the easy load and disassembly....money well spent!!!
Good value for the price. I did need to get the "adaptor bolts" (they are longer than the ones shipped with the product) to fit my older (thicker) rack bars on my truck. I carry the kayak only when going to paddle, I don't leave them mounted all the time. Easy to install and they hold the boats.
Excellent customer service and delivery speed.
Overall a great product. The main issue I had was that the M6 - 65mm bolts need to be a little bit longer. The current size makes it difficult to get the thread started with the holding bolts. This may only be an issue with these J-style arms and the roof rack I'm using (Rhino Rack RSP15).
3 because one of the pads came off when I was loading the kayak and it is difficult to get bolts tight enough on the roof mount - one slipped while I was driving on the interstate -
I found that while loading and adjusting the kayacks in the the racks they tends to move on round bars. I tightend them with pliers and they still tend to move. I will find a way to fix them Maybe with 2 screws through the hole front and back of the sport rack into the round bars.
These work great exactly what we expected. We started hauling our kayaks in August in Western NY state around Ohio than of to Florida for a total of about 1600 mile without a problem!.
Mike L - 12/28/2016Excellent quality. Very good alternative to the "premium brands." I have used it on long distance trips and there were no issues. They are a little loud when driving without the kayaks in them, but they are very easy to take on and off.
We are very happy with this product. They are simple to install and remove on my suburban a roof top factory cross rails. I would buy this product again.
Product installed and worked great. We have two very long touring kayaks and these work great for carrying on the Toyota 4 Runner. Installation was simple and worked with crossbars from Toyota.
I hesitated buying a rack for my Buick because I didn't think a clamp style would be strong enough. I was wrong and this rack has really improved my life and hobby of kayaking. I can slap 2 kayaks up in no time and hit the water for a few hours of fun. Great product and built like a tank!
The J-shaped holders make it easy for one person to set the kayak in place then secure the straps. Easy to install.
The sport rack carrier is very easy to install and holds my kayak in place .
Arrived on time and was what I ordered.
Lisbeth V - 09/17/2017Received with the cross bars, rack mounts. Easy install. Installed everything in about 30 min.
Very easy to put on roof rack. Work gre at!
