Question:
I own a 2021 Audi A4 Offroad and am considering purchasing a Current Designs Kestral 17T kayak. Please advise If you make a rack that is compatible both with my car and this vessel and perhaps send me a product information sheet so I may see how the rack attaches to the car as well as how the kayak fits in the rack. Thanks

For your 2021 Audi A4 Allroad I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system. This rack consists of the # TH711320 and # TH710401. It has a 150 lb capacity which is more than enough for the Kestral 170T. The WingBar Evo crossbars have an aerodynamic TrailEdge design which will reduce drag, wind noise, and vibration. If you wish to add locks you can use the # TH450400.
I have several recommendations for kayak carriers depending on what style and features you want. For a J-style carrier where the kayak would be mounted on its side I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878. If you would rather have your kayak flat on the roof then I recommend the Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier # MPG207. If you want lift assistance check out the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist # TH898.
I have attached some review videos along with the written instructions so you can see how these would be installed and work with your vehicle and kayak.
