Can Malone SeaWing on Round Crossbar be Prevented from Rotating on Bar

Published 08/17/2023

Question:

I am mounting the SeaWing kayak assist carrier. I have round bars on my car. How do you suggest I get the Jawz tight enough to keep from slipping on the bar?

Round crossbars are a challenge since they do allow roof accessories like the Malone SeaWing part # MPG113MD to rotate on them pretty easily. Getting the hardware tighter can help somewhat but there's really no way to totally prevent the rotation. Taking extra care when setting the kayak onto the carrier is really the only thing you can do.
