Question:

I would like to travel from PA to FL with these racks and a kayak which is about 1500 miles. I drive a 2013 Lincoln MKS. How often do you recommend I stop to check pressures.

Expert Reply:

I would just check the pressure for the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B any time you make a pit stop. As long as you follow the instructions when installing these on your 2013 Lincoln MKS you won't need to worry about them coming off.

It is a good idea to do a quick visual check though at pit stops (or whenever you want to make you comfortable) just to be on the safe side.

To secure your kayak to this roof rack I recommend using the Pads for SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SA1022 and the Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps # 298-SA0010.
