Question:
Hello E-trailer, I have a 2017 Camry that I would like to haul 1 or 2 kayaks with. I like the Rhino roof rack system. But I like the lockable Yakima folding Kayak carrier Y04073. Please confirm that I can mount the Yakima carriers to the Rhino crossbars. Thank you

You made a couple of great choices with the kayak carrier and roof rack for your Camry, and I can confirm that the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars are 100 percent compatible with the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073.
The carrier will fit perfectly on Rhino-Rack crossbars, and comes with tie-down straps for a single kayak, so if you wanted to use it to carry two kayaks you would need the Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes # Y04031. Additionally, you can lock the JayLow to the roof rack with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07202.
