Will The Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier Work With The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars?

Question

Question:

Hi- Weve got a Rhino Vortex rack for our Ford C-Max. Can you confirm that this j-bar will fit this rack? I see that the description for it says it will fit elliptical bars, but just want to confirm. Or do you have a different recommendation for the Vortex rack? Appreciate your input. Thanks

Yes, the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier # MPG117MD will work with your Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2. All aero type crossbars are a somewhat standard size, the brackets that come with the Malone Kayak Carrier can be used with any brand aero bar with no issues.
