Works well, I find myself putting the kayaks up, then just tucking in the extra lengths inside my car doors. The front/back kayak straps are tricky to use, and then flap like more than expected in the wind.



by:

Box was opened (looked like a return) Missing parts. Now it's my problem to send it back! Some Hardware is missing.SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED BEFORE IT WAS PACKED INTO SHIPPING BOX!!! Very poor quality control!

Oh wow, I am so sorry to hear that your item arrived like this. We usually keep a good eye on the quality of the product before we send it out, so I am a bit surprised. We do have a demonstration and installation team that opens and tests out the product. They are supposed to be making sure that the product is in pristine condition in order to be put back on the shelf. Let me get you over to our customer service department for them to get a return process set up for you.



by:

Straps slip. Had to stop about every 100 miles and re tighten.



by:

The straps were fine but I just bought a sturdier pair last week. The tie down foam pieces don’t really fit in my truck or hood so I’ve never used them. I have a 2017 ford escape.



by:

Have not used yet but appear to be of good quality



by:

I received my roof rack and installed the same day. The directions were simple and this was easy to mount to my 2021 GMC Terrain.



by:

The straps really disappointed me. They don't hold tight and I went back to ratchet straps which are a big pain and the reason I tried this item in the first place.

BUT - the anchors are excellent and I consider it all a break even since I use them. Maybe you should offer those paired with some other type of strap with better buckle and holding power. All that aside - etrailer is an excellent vendor. Incredible customer service, amazing range of options. No store like it.



by:

They could have better quality in general. A little wider.



by:

Great product. We carried our kayaks all of last year with no issues at all. If you are looking for quality this is what you need.



by:

I really liked the straps for kayaking. The sewn in loops are a great addition to keep the straps organized.



by:

See other review.
Finding a non-chafing
location under the hood of my Silverado is something of a struggle but it worked



by:

Lori was awesome, she is an asset to Et railer.



by:

Shipping was fast. Received items ordered. Packed well. One item was filthy, like it has been sitting on a shelf for years and packaging was awry, shop worn. Had to wash my hands after opening it. Hoping the product(s) works as described. ABF



by:

Items fit perfectly and were easy to in stall.



by:

Good quality, works great.



by:

Great kit. Does what I need. Fits all the vehicles.

Omg what great service! Customer service person I talked with was excellent and shipping was really fast.

Product is of great quality and was delivered quickly.

  • Recommended Tie-Down Kit for Holding Down a 12' Row Boat
    I personally like the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR, and not because it's an etrailer branded product, but because I've used it a handful of times and I know it's secure, plus it comes with the bow and stern anchors that you drop into your hood/hatch to make it easier for securing your boat.

  • Which Carrier Do You Recommend for 2 Kayaks Using the Inno Aero Crossbars?
    For the best carrier recommendation for 2 kayaks on your Inno Aero-style crossbars, I recommend the Inno Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - Clamp On - 2 Kayaks # INA455. The great thing about the Inno kayak carrier is that the cradles adjust along crossbars to fit a variety of kayak sizes. In addition, the carrier comes with 2 tie-down straps. If you go with the Inno carrier, I recommend the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR to serve as your bow/stern ties. The Inno kayak...

  • Does Kayak Bow/Stern have to be Tied Down Using Thule Hull-A-Port on a 2015 Ford Fusion
    You should tie down the bow and stern of a kayak on any vehicle including a 2015 Ford Fusion. The Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 does not include the additional tie downs but you can use etrailer tie-down kit # e36ZR if you do not already have straps or rope that you use. I like this kit because it comes with foam anchors that can close in your hood or hatch and provide an easy way to attach the straps without harming the vehicle. This is a great way to tie down the bow/stern of the kayak.

  • Does the Thule Compass Fit on the 2017 Dodge Durango Factory Roof Rack
    The Thule Compass # TH890000 will work just fine on your 2017 Dodge Durango factory roof rack. The clamps are designed to fit round, square, elliptical, aero and most factory roof racks. In addition to this kayak carrier, I recommend you pick up the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR. This kit will give to bow/stern anchors, bow/stern straps, and straps to secure your kayaks to the rack.

  • Will the Thule Stacker Kayak Carrier Fit Factory Crossbars on a 2009 Subaru Impreza 5-Door
    I checked with Thule and the Stacker kayak carrier, # TH830, will fit a 2009 Subaru Impreza 5-door with factory installed crossbars that run side to side. To make it easier to tie down the bow/stern easier, I recommend the etrailer tie down kit # e36ZR that gives you some additional straps and some amazing foam anchors that close into your trunk or hood without damaging your vehicle. I have included a link to a video review of the quick loops for you.

  • Bow and Stern Tie-Down Connection Points on a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
    A solution for you to connect the bow tie-down on your Yakima SweetRoll # Y04074 is to use etrailer tie down kit # e36ZR. These provide mounting points in either the front or rear of your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon by installing directly under the hood or rear hatch. I've included a video for you to take a look at.

  • Tie-Down Mounting Points on 2016 Acura RDX for Kayak Carrier
    Usually people run the tie down straps of the Rhino Rack Kayak Carrier part # RR571 to tow hooks on the front of the vehicle and the back as well. If you can't find them you can use the etrailer tie-down kit # e36ZR which you could close in the hood and trunk of your vehicle to use as an anchor.

  • Can The 2nd Tier Load Bar System MPG474 Support An Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL
    It sounds like you are definitely on the right track here. To answer your question, yes, the 2nd Tier Load Bar System # MPG474 will indeed support one of your Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL’s. The 2nd tier does have a 100 lb capacity, so as long as the kayak is at 90 lbs with the pedal system and all accessories removed you will be completely fine. The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer has an 800 lb capacity so even with the 2nd tier and three 90 lb kayaks you are well under the specified...

  • What Replacement Parts Are Available For The etrailer.com Kayak Carrier e98878?
    The only true replacement part we carry for the etrailer Kayak Carrier # e98878 is the Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR. We have also found the Thule Replacement 3-Wing, High M8 Hand Knob # 753-0776 to fit, but the attachment plates are not currently available as a replacement part, unfortunately. If worse comes to worse and one is lost or broken out on the road, these could be constructed out of easily found materials at a local hardware store though.

  • Solution for Securing Front Of Kayak that is Installed on Top of Ladder Rack Crossbars
    For securing the front of a kayak to the top of a TracRac Ladder Rack like part # TH27000XT can be a little tricky, but what you could do is run straps from the kayak to the Hood Loops part # e36ZR and then shut your truck hood over them like they are designed to do and the front of the kayak would be secured. I attached a review video for how these work as well.

  • Can The Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier Be Used Without Bow/Stern Tie Downs?
    Yes, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR will absolutely work with the aero bars on your 2023 Toyota Corolla. The clamps on the Lockrack carrier are designed to be universal, and will fit virtually and crossbar shape, including your aero bars. It can also hold up to 175 lbs, so you will not be even close to capacity with your kayak. It is true that the Lockrack carriers do not require the use of load straps. The ratcheting arms are rubber coated and will be extremely strong/secure....

  • Can The Lockrack Adjustable Watersports Carrier 339-LRUNISETX Hold A 16 Foot Canoe?
    I confirmed with Lockrack that the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier - Canoe, Kayak, or 2 SUPs - Side Loading - Universal Mount # LR54FR is able to hold a 16 foot canoe. Just make sure your canoe is no wider than 48" and is under 175lbs. You would likely be fine without use of straps, although I would probably add some straps for reassurance since it is a rather large boat and Lockrack does suggest adding straps for longer boats. I would use etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR since...

  • Do the Bows and Sterns of Kayaks have to be Tied Down when Carried on the Roof
    You will want to use tie downs to secure the bows and sterns of the kayaks when transporting them on the roof of any vehicle, including your 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid. A lot of the kayak carriers come with tie downs but if you need some you can use # e36ZR. Finding a good spot to secure the tie downs on a vehicle can be difficult but this kit is great solution for you. It comes with soft foam anchors that close inside of your hood or hatch to secure your straps without damaging your vehicle....

  • Is There an Adapter for the Rhino Rack Nautic to Be Used on a Back Rack or What Option is There
    I do have an alternate option for you, but there is not an approved adapter/screws that allow you to use Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof SUP or Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # RR570 with crossbars larger than 3-7/8" wide x 1-3/8" tall. You can use the Malone Rack Pads for Crossbars # MPG314, which will wrap around your square bars. You would then need a tie-down kit like the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR to secure your kayak to the rack and carrier.

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for Carrying 2 Kayaks on a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban with Factory Roof Rack
    I suggest the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. The JayLow is a J-style/post-style carrier that will hold both your kayaks on your roof. The posts, straps, and tie-downs all have padding to protect your Suburban and the kayaks. I confirmed the JayLow will fit your factory crossbars. Also, with kayaks that heavy you should verify the weight limit of your Suburban's roof and the roof rack in the owner's manual. I found an online copy and it states the weight capacity is 200 pounds....

  • Recommendation for Carrying Two 10 Foot Kayaks on 2006 Toyota Highlander w/ Factory Roof Rack
    Thule does indeed offer a kayak carrier that can handle more than one kayak. You'd want their Stacker, part # TH830, which can carry up to 4 kayaks that are up to 10 feet long. Thule confirms that the Stacker is compatible with your factory roof rack. The Stacker includes bow/stern tie downs, and one set of straps to secure one kayak to the carrier, but you'd want an additional set of straps. I highly recommend the etrailer tie down kit # e36ZR. They come with extra straps and soft foam...

  • Fit of SportRack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier # SR5511 on Thule AeroBlade Load Bars
    SportRack is actually a division of Thule. The J-Stacker Kayak Carrier you mentioned is compatible with crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide, since the Thule AeroBlade crossbars are 3 inches wide, the J-Stacker will indeed fit. The J-Stacker does come with bow and stern tie downs, but I would also recommend the Thule Hood Loops, part # TH529. These anchors attach to a bolt under your hood to attach the tie downs quickly. If you need additional straps, I highly recommend the etrailer Tie-Down...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier For 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer With Factory Roof Rack
    Since the dimensions of the crossbars on your 2006 Trailblazer roof rack are not given, the best way to find a kayak carrier that will work for you is to take a quick measurement of the crossbars. Measure the height and the width of the bars. If your crossbars measure smaller than 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-11/16 inches tall I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier, part # Y04073. This carrier can handle an 80-lb kayak and folds down when not being used. The carrier comes with tie-down...

  • Can 2 Yakima JayLow J-Style Kayak Carriers Be Used to Carry 2 Kayaks on a Subaru Outback
    Yes, you can use two Yakima JayLow Kayak Racks, # Y04073, on your Subaru Outback to carry two kayaks at a time. Be sure you check the weight capacity of your vehicles roof and roof rack to ensure you do not overload your roof or roof rack. You may also be interested in etrailer tie-down kit, # e36ZR, or Thule hood loops, # TH529, to provide secure attachment points for the bow and stern tie downs of your kayaks. I have attached an FAQ article on roof-mounted water sport carriers for...

  • Option For Carrying A Hobie Outback Kayak On A 2" Square Tube Lumber Rack
    It is possible to secure your Hobie outback kayak to your 2" square tube lumber rack. The Yakima HandRoll # Y04082 will not work for this with this kind of rack though. This will be the case for pretty much any other Yakima or other brand rack since they are pretty much all made to fit the more standard roof rack crossbar shapes, none of which are a 2" square. What I suggest doing is using a simple crossbar pad like the Malone Rack Pad # MPG314. This will fit a 2" square tube and they...

  • Carrying A Kayak On My 1985 Porsche 944
    I do have a roof rack solution for you, but it will not be a Yakima roof rack. The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long, part # 298-SX6000B, is the only roof rack we offer to fit your 1985 Porsche 944. It has a maximum weight capacity of 150 lbs and it comes with 48" crossbars. Each vacuum cup provides 210 lbs of suction, giving you a total pull strength of 1,260 lbs. I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount, part...

  • Which Kayak Rack Fits The T-Slot Channel On Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars?
    For a kayak carrier that fits the channel of your Thule Evo Wingbar crossbars, I would look into the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR. You do not need any other hardware or adapters. This carrier is very versatile and does not require any tie-down straps because of the rubberized ratcheting hooks that will keep the kayak secured. Integrated locks help to deter theft of your gear. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you to check out.

  • Roof Rack For 2014 Nissan Versa Note For Carrying Kayak
    I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # RR66QR. The easiest way to carry a kayak is a foam pad like this one # RRRWP04. This is easy to just lay up your kayak face down. You can use this tie down kit # e36ZR to secure it down. The two straps go under your crossbars and around your kayak. The Bow and stern tie down will go in the engine bay and in your trunk. I've included a video of me using them so check that out!

  • Universal Foam Block Kayak Carrier for a 2001 Honda Prelude
    The Righline Gear Foam Block Kayak Carrier, # RL100K10, that you referenced was designed to fit most hull and gunwale styles essentially making it a universal block kit. These foam blocks can attach to round or square roof rack crossbars or even a bare roof if you do not have a roof rack on your 2001 Honda Prelude. These carriers include blocks for one kayak, heavy duty straps and bow and stern tie downs. You may also be interested in the Hood Loops, # TH529, to establish a better attachment...
