What Roof Rack Do I Need for My 2001 Naked Roof Acura TL to Carry a 45 Pound Kayak?
Question:
Was wondering which roof rack would be best for the above situation.
asked by: Daniel
Expert Reply:
For your 2001 Acura TL to transport a 45-pound kayak, I recommend the following roof rack system:
- Inno Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 51" Long - Qty 2 # INXB130-2
- Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # INXS250
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet # INK249
If you need a kayak carrier to transport on the Inno Aero Crossbars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # RR571. The Nautic Kayak Carrier is great because it comes with 2 tie-down straps to attach your kayak to the Inno crossbars and includes a set of bow/stern ties to secure the front and the back of the kayak to your 2001 Acura TL. The installation includes a simple clamp-on setup.
With these parts, you will be able to transport your 45 pound kayak on your 2001 Acura TL.
