Recommended Kayak Pads for Malone Crossbars

Question

Question:

Hello! I need some foam to cushion the length of my Malone Airflow 2 Roof Rack Crossbars that I bought from etrailer. I have been so happy with this product. I prefer something that can stay on the cross bars in lieu of foam blocks. I load whitewater kayaks and lightweight canoes. What would you recommend? Thank You!

Welcome back! Since you are not a fan of foam blocks like Item # MPG172. I recommend the Malone Rack Pads for Crossbars item # MPG314. They measure 25" long x 4" wide x 2" tall and wrap around your item # MPG216 crossbars with Velcro.

Answer 10

I am sorry if we provided you with bad info here. I believe we made some assumptions about the Malone roof rack that were not accurate. The Hullavator #TH898 is made to work with a square bar roof rack, but it has to be the Thule brand. As you can…
