Just purchased your sr1002 car top carrier bars. What kayak carriers are going to fit these bars? I have 2006 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ. Thank you

Expert Reply:
You will need a kayak carrier that will fit square bars, since that's what you have on your SportRack Roof Rack # SR1002.
The Thule Top Deck # TH881 is a great single kayak carrier. It secures the kayak on it's haul with rubber padded saddles to protect it. The Top Deck also comes with all the necessary straps and tie-downs you'll need.
If you need to carry multiple kayaks the Thule Stacker # TH830 is the way to go. It will hold up to 4 kayaks on your roof rack. It will require additional tie-downs # 753-2030-02 and Hood Loops # TH529 or the etrailer tie down kit that combines both straps and anchors # e36ZR if you're going to be carrying more kayaks.
I've attached videos of each carrier for you.
