Will the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier Fit a 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition

Question

Question:

Hi, Im considering buying the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier with Stinger Load Assist and Im wondering if it can be installed on the Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek edition? I ask because the factory-installed roof rack looks tubular and customized and I want to know if it will be compatible. Thanks!

Hey Steven thanks for sending that picture in! Yes, it looks like the Malone SeaWing Kayak Roof Rack w/ Load Assist and Tie-Downs # MPG113MD will fit those bars on your 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition.

This carrier can fit crossbars that measure up to 3 1/2" wide x 1 1/2" tall, so as long as your crossbars are within those parameters, which I'm pretty sure they are, then it'll work great!

Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

@BryceD Hi Bryce, I did not have a chance to check out the Malone Seawing kayak carrier because I have two recreational kayaks to transport and I don't think I can fit two Malone Seawings side by side on the Pathfinder :/ I am now considering purchasing two of the Yakima Jaylow Kayak Racks instead, as I believe I can fit the two kayaks on the Pathfinder roof that way... But thank you for the follow-up! It is much appreciated :)

@StevenD Thanks for the response Steven. My buddy Bryce is on vacation so I am covering things while he is gone. Yes, the Yakima JayLow Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Clamp On # Y04073 would be a great option for carrying your kayaks side by side on your Pathfinder. Happy paddling =)

With both the SeaWing #MPG113MD and MegaWing #MPG207 being saddle-style carriers there isn't really a minimum or maximum width like you'd have with a J-Style carrier. You're really only limited by the length of the tie-down straps and…
