Question:

Please advise as to the parts that would fit. I want to transport 2 kayaks on a 2016 Acura MDX w/ factory rack already on top. Can 2 Kayak J-style racks be attached to a 2016 Acura MDX factory rack? Thank you

Expert Reply:

Your 2016 Acura MDX with factory roof rack can use two J-style carriers to carry your 2 Kayaks. I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed - Side Loading # TH834 along with two sets of the Hood Loops for Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 # TH529 for this application.

Another option I recommend is the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # S512 along with the Expansion Arm for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # RRS512X for your 2 kayaks. I recommend using the bow/stern tie-downs for this as well. To make loading and unloading easier I recommend a tire step such as # ALL647596.
