Video Transcript for Malone QuickLash T-Style Bow and Stern Tie-Down Hood Loops Review
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Malone Quick Latch T-style hood loops for bow and stern tie-downs, part number MPG308. So once you have your kayak in place and you have it strapped down to the roof rack system, you do need bow and stern tie-downs for each end.However, if you don't have any tie-down points underneath or you don't have a hitch in installed in the back, one of the options you can utilize is the quick latch hood loop. So pretty much what these do is create tie-down points for the hooks of your bow and stern tie-downs and they have an end cap on the inside which is closed inside your hatch of your hood or the hatch of your trunk while you tie these down.The end caps are made from a polypropylene and are injection molded to this T-shape for superior fit and durability. This has a load capacity of 150 pounds, come in a quantity of two, and has a one year warranty.When comparing this to other products, two that come up are going to be the Rhino-Rack anchor strap, part number RRRBAS and the Thule Quick Lubes, part number TH530.As far as the most economical choice, that's going to go to the Malone. As far as quantity is concerned, that's going to go to both the Malone and the Thule as it comes with two hood loops or two loops with the Rhino-Rack strap only coming with one.As far as durability is concerned, that's going to go to the Malone as it's made from a harder material.Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's go ahead and show you how they work. We have our two hood loops here on our table.
This is pretty much what you're goin got get with the kit once you buy it.First, to install these, at least for our front portion of our tie-down, we're going to have to pop the hood open. With our hood open we have to find a good spot for our quick lash to set into place. We found that this area here will work just as long as it's in a spot where it's not going to get crushed by the hood.So with that in place we can now close our hood and our front quick lash is installed. Now we'll do the same at the rear. Again, making sure we're to putting it directly on the hatch, set it inside and we'll close our hatch on it and now we have our tie-down here as well.With everything in place, now we can attach our bow and stern tie-downs with no problem.
And there you have it for the Malone quick lash T-style hood loops for bow and stern tie-downs, part number MPG308.

I had no good place to tie down the bow of my kayak when mounted on my Suburban. The Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops fit perfectly under my hood and showed no signs of weakness!
by: Kimberly 07/04/2023
Perfect for vehicles with no convenient front/rear line anchors.
by: Peg06/01/2021
The tie downs are fine. I like the inflatable roof rack for transporting my kayak, but take it off your car if it’s going to rain, because the rain flows down the straps and inside the car!
by: Joseph06/05/2020
Hi haven't had a chance to use them the roof rack I ordered from you arrived damaged & I'm waiting for a update the anchors look very durable & I can't wait to use them!
by: Patrick02/14/2019
e.trailer as always is a great place to get boating accessories, including kayaking and canoeing, and I go there first before REI or other websites. Website and transactions are excellent, and shipping is fast. The online email included a PDF and two UTube videos of how to use my hood tie downs.
This show some real thought to after purchase help for customers.
by: Dusty06/08/2022
The T-Style hood loops work excellently and are easy to use. Would recommend for piece of mind so that you don't need to tie down the kayak to metal under the car hood.
by: Karl Shuffler09/09/2020
I have had these for 1 year now and have used them several times. They have worked exactly as advertised. Keeps my kayaks secure and once you have the process of mounting down it is pretty easy. Nice product.
by: Susan 10/21/2021
Exactly what I needed to attach a bow tie down for my kayak. (My car's front tie-down loops were unfortunately removed, so I really needed something like this. Solid material, super secure.
by: Julio A03/18/2022
So far so good. Product is easy to set up and instructions are easy to understand. Mounted on a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with OEM crossbars. It feels sturdy and durable. I like the folding feature easy to raise and lower.
by: Tom O04/23/2019
These are great. New Toyota Highlander has no hooks for tie down. They really work very well and are easy to put on and off.
by: Joan M09/26/2022
Not used them yet but they are great to tie down boats to vehicles!
by: West TX Yak08/26/2021
Great, easy way to secure my kayak. I have nothing to easily tie off to in the front of my vehicle, so being able to just close the hood on this and tie off to it is a great convenience.
by: Michael 08/26/2018
Works great in 2019 Subaru Crosstrek
by: Adam10/09/2022
I can now load my 14' tandem kayak by myself. Excellent product.
by: Gary 08/02/2022
worked well and keep the kayaks safe when driving on the highway.
by: Margot05/06/2021
It's doing the job of securing my kayak to my prius that doesn't have front or back hooks.
by: Roger05/02/2022
Very useful for both SUV hood and back hatch.
by: Paul 12/06/2020
Very simple to use. No need to look for hooks under the car anymore
by: Jeffrey L06/26/2018
Excellent product selection and customer service. Speedy delivery and follow up.

- Can Thule Hull-A-Port and Force XT Roof Box Both Fit on 60 Inch AeroBlade Load BarsThe Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 and the 16 cubic foot Force XT will fit on the 60 inch AeroBlades. The Force XT is 33 inches wide and the Hull-A-Port takes up at most about 18 inches. To mount the Hull-A-Port to the AeroBlade bars you'll need the watersports adapter, part # THXADAPT11. You also may be interested in the Malone QuickLash T-Stlye Hood Loops # MPG308 to make it easier to anchor the bow and stern tie-downs onto the Jeep.
view full answer... - Carrier for 2 Kayaks on 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with Factory Roof RackIt's likely going to fit just fine but I checked with Thule and they haven't tested the Hull-A-Port XT on the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek as of yet so I can't say with certainty. It does fit the 2018 and the 2019 is the same generation so that's a good sign. A similar kayak carrier is the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073. It is confirmed, by Yakima, to fit the 2019 Crosstrek and will also carry both your kayaks. I've linked videos on both of the carriers. With either of them I recommend adding...
view full answer... - Roof Rack For 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Cab For Carrying CanoeWhile the Yakima rack and tonneau adapter won't fit the standard Yakima rails on an American Roll cover on your 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew, what you can do is add a roof rack to your truck along with a canoe carrier. The best option for this is from Rhino-Rack because it is the best overall value for a roof rack; Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at a better price point because you aren't paying extra for a specific brand name printed on the crossbars. The parts that...
view full answer... - Where Can the Bow and Stern on a Kayak be Tied Down to On a 2010 Ford Mustang GTYes, I can help you out no problem. You can use the Malone T-Style Hood Loops, # MPG308. Close the cylinder part in the trunk or hood (or both) and leave the strap part sticking out. Instant tie down point and they will not damage your 2010 Ford Mustang GT. I have included a link to a video review of these Quick Loops for you.
view full answer... - Securing the Bow of a Kayak or Canoe on a Ford EdgeSecuring the front tie down for a kayak or canoe under the hood is common. Thule offers the Hood Loops, # TH529, and Malone offers an easier set of Loops, # MPG308, so you do not have to attach the hook directly to the edge of the hood. I would strongly recommend using these products. You can also use them for your rear hatch if you do not have a strong attachment point for the stern tie down. I have attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

- Kayak Carrier for 2016 Honda CR-V with OEM Roof Rack CrossbarsYou are correct. For your factory crossbars on the CR-V you can use foam blocks like the Malone Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 12" Long # MPG154 which will give you the components you need to secure the kayak as well. For a better hold, I recommend using a J-style carrier with your factory bars like the Swagman Contour Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs - Fixed Arms - J-Style - Universal Mount # S65148. This is much better if you will be doing highway driving...

- Is Stabilization Strap Required for Bike Rack on 2014 Subaru Forester w/Curt Class III Trailer HitchCurt recommends using the stabilization strap, # 18050, or something similar, for all non-trailer loads with trailer hitch # C13144. There is no specific place the strap has to go. Ideally you will want the strap end that is attached to the vehicle to be higher than where it is attached to the bike rack. Because you have that rear spoiler the hook will most likely not be able to fit right at the top of the hatch on your 2014 Subaru Forester. To get around that you can use Malone hood loops...
view full answer... - How to Carry A Canoe with a 2008 Toyota CorollaI may have an option that will work for you, however, I do not recommend carrying the canoe on the bare roof of your 2008 Toyota Corolla. Most vehicles cannot handle more than 50 lbs directly on top of the roof. Instead, I recommend adding a roof rack like the Yakima BaseLine Tower Roof Rack which consists of the following parts. 48 Inch Round Crossbars # Y00408 BaseLine Towers # Y28TR RoundBar Adapter # Y03536 BaseClip Fit Kits # Y06136 and # Y06148 Yakima states that this roof rack...

This carrier comes with the needed tie-downs, but if your Outback doesn't have easy attachment points...
view full answer... - Recommended Kayak Carrier With Load Assist for a 2008 Volvo S60 With Rhino-Rack Aero Roof RackThe Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # RRRS472B that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Volvo S60 and has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. I found an owner's manual online that put your roof weight capacity at 220 lbs so the roof rack will be the limiting factor, but you will want to check your owner's manual to make sure. The best load assist kayak carrier that we have to offer is the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898. This will be compatible with...
view full answer... - Roof Rack to Carry a Paddleboard or Kayak on a 2016 Buick EncoreIf you don't already have a complete roof rack with crossbars on the roof of your 2016 Buick Encore you need to start there. You Encore should have flush mounted rails and we have the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero system that fits. Use parts # RRSX040 to mount the # RRVA126B-2 crossbars. Then to carry the SUP on the crossbars use a carrier like the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier, part # LR54FR. The SupPup connects to the crossbars. It can actually carry 2 SUPs if needed. If you're...
view full answer... - Will Thules The Stacker Fit 2008 Nissan Xterra Factory Crossbars to Carry 2 KayaksThe Stacker # TH830 will fit on your 2008 Nissan Xterra, however the Thule Xadapt3 # THXADAPT3, longer installation bolts, will be needed to fit around the Xterra's factory crossbars. I spoke with my contact at Thule and he confirmed that The Stacker requires the Xadapt3 bolts for your Xterra. The Stacker # TH830 comes with the tie-downs and bow and stern straps needed to secure 1 kayak. In order to secure the second kayak, you will need some additional straps. You can use the # TH855XT...
view full answer... - SeaSucker Kayak CarrierSeaSucker doesn't currently produce a dedicated kayak rack, however, if you have a kayak that is less than 45 pounds, you may be able to use the SeaSucker Surfboard Carrier, part # 298-BX1806 as a viable alternative. The Surfboard/SUP carrier does include the tiedowns for securing the kayak to the racks, but not a bow or stern kit. For that, I recommend using the Malone Quik-Lash, part # MPG308 attachment points and the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops - 13'...
view full answer... - Where to Install the Thule Hood Loop Strap TH529You will want to install the Hood Loops for Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs # TH529 by either using existing hardware under the hood (taking out a bolt and re-installing it with the loop) or by drilling out your own hole and using hardware acquired at your local hardware store. If you do not want to drill into anything under your hood and you do not feel comfortable taking out existing hardware and using that, then I have another solution. You can use the Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops...
view full answer... - Best Roof Rack and Water Sport Carrier for 2 Kayaks or Paddle Boards on 2014 Ford EdgeThe combination you mentioned works great for your setup! On a 2014 Ford Edge without rails or crossbars, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2, is a highly-rated crossbar with a lot of versatility. They're aerodynamic and extend past the roof rack legs, giving even more space for mounting your accessories. They also have built-in C-channels for channel-mounting accessories. I've included a link to an installation video for you. Keep in mind that in order to use these...
view full answer... - Is there a Wider Roof Rack Crossbar Spread for a 2017 Subaru OutbackI checked with Yakima and when using the SkyLine towers # Y53TR the bar spread can be as much as 30-1/2 inches on center. In addition to the towers you will also need Landing Pad 15, # Y00241, and bars # Y00425. The length of your item at 78 inches is not going to be a problem provided that you have it properly secured to the vehicle. There are cargo boxes listed as a fit with this roof rack installed that are even longer than 78 inches. I don't know what it is you want to carry but...
view full answer... - Easy Way to Tie Off Kayak Bow and Stern on a 2010 Subaru OutbackThere might be a place under your 2010 Subaru Outback to tie off a kayak but I have a better option for you. You can use the Malone Hood Loops, # MPG308. You close the cylinder under the hood and rear hatch and tie off the bow and stern to the strap loops that will be on the outside of the vehicle. I have linked a video featuring these Hood Loops for you.
view full answer... - Recommendation for Carrying 2 Kayaks on 2009 GMC YukonAccording to the owner's manual, the existing roof rack crossbars on your Yukon can handle 200 lbs, so as long as the combined weight of your kayaks comes in under that figure, you should be good to go as far as capacity goes. All you'll really need is a kayak carrier that attaches to the crossbars. Athough the etrailer brand # e98878 carrier is a fine product, you'll need two of them to handle both your kayaks. For less than that you could use the Thule Compass # TH890000...
view full answer... - Can 1 Set of Tie Downs be Used for 2 Kayaks on the Thule Stacker and 2015 Subaru OutbackYou will likely be able to use just one set of tie downs for 2 kayaks and the Thule Stacker # TH830. Ultimately though it depends on the length of the vehicle. Longer vehicles require longer tie down straps. But on your 2015 Subaru Outback I do not anticipate there being an issue. Especially if you use Hood Loops # MPG308. If you do want to get another set of tie downs you can use # TH855XT.
view full answer... - How To Secure a Wenonah Spirit II Canoe On a 2015 Jeep Grand CherokeeI do have some options for you but the Load Stops for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRRLH2 that you referenced are not going to be sufficient to secure your Wenonah Spirit II Canoe because they don't offer enough support/stability. This canoe is going to require a much more secure carrier for which I recommend using the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs part # MPG112MD which will fit your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars. The Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier has...

If you prefer a lower-cost option than two sets of the Quick Loops we offer a set of protective sleeves # EM06305-2 that slip over the tie downs included with the carriers to provide protection for your paint. These are made of polyester faux...
view full answer... - Will Thule The Stacker Fit Factory Crossbars On 2011 Honda ElementThe Thule Stacker, part # TH830 would work well on your Element with the factory roof rack. This carrier can hold up to 4 kayaks, but you will want to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your Honda. Another note is that the kayaks cannot be longer than 10 ft. This carrier comes with 1 pair of ratcheting tie downs, 2 straps, and buckle protectors included. If the kayaks you are longer than 10 ft I recommend part # TH834. This is a J-style carrier that will hold one...

I really like the Malone Hood Loops # MPG308 which you place under the hood each time you need to load your kayak up, or the Thule Hood Loops # TH529 which are more of a permanent installation and are the better choice if you go kayaking on a regular basis. I have attached review videos of both products as well as an installation video of the...

A block system like the Malone # MPG162 is compatible with both square and aero-profile bars. Once the kayaks are strapped down to the roof rack and at the bow and stern, it doesn't really matter what profile the blocks are compatible with, because the force of the straps holding the kayaks in place will prevent the blocks from moving.
