Question:
I have a pair of older Jay-Low rooftop kayak cradles and they are missing the adapter thats needed to make them secure on Yakima round bars. Im having trouble locating them and wonder if you can help. Thank you

Hi George, I know those smaller pieces can be frustrating to track down.
It sounds like you’re just missing the round bar adapters that let your Yakima JayLow mounts clamp down securely. The correct replacement is the Yakima round bar adapter for the SpinVice clamps, part # Y96KR, which is designed specifically for those JayLow cradles so they can properly grip Yakima round bars again.
The adapters are sold individually, so depending on how many mounts are missing them, you may need more than one to get everything fully secured and back to normal. Once those are in place, your cradles should mount up solid again without slipping or rotating, just like they were originally designed to.
Where you taking the kayaks?
