Question:
Hi there, I have the Rhino Rack Aero bars on a 2009 Toyota Corolla the recommended length, which escapes me now. To carry two standard sea kayaks, would it work to use a J-Style rack for one, and this pad for the other? Im pretty sure it would work, but wanted to get your thoughts. The sea kayaks are not super wide like whitewater or similar. Thanks!

If you installed the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack on your 2009 Corolla, the crossbars are 46 inches long. I have a solution that should work great for you.
You could use one J-style carrier and the # RRRWP03, but you could exceed the width of your crossbars.
I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512 along with the Expansion Arm # RRS512X. This lets you carry two kayaks side by side.
You will need additional tie-downs like part # TH855XT. To make it easier to secure the tie-downs I also recommend the Hood Loops, part # MPG308.
You do want to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your Corolla.
