Question:

Our Outback has an elliptical roof rack that can be aligned either front to back or horizontally. We have a cargo carrier that we have mounted to it in the past while in the horizontal position. Would there be any issue in mounting two of the Seawing carriers to that factory installed rack in order to carry our two lightweight Eddyline Kayaks? Each Kayak is 24 inches wide.

Expert Reply:

The factory roof rack on your 2015 Subaru Outback will absolutely be able to mount a pair of the Malone kayak carriers you asked about:

- Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG107MD

These have universal mounting clamps to fit your Outback's crossbars, and your bars also have the correct spacing to use the SeaWing # MPG107MD; I verified this fit for you with the manufacturer.

This carrier comes with the needed tie-downs, but if your Outback doesn't have easy attachment points in the frame for them, use the Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops for Bow and Stern Tie-Downs # MPG308.
