These work great! They fit well with my Brightlines Aero Rack where others did not. Super Good quality and super easy to install, I was surprised on the quality. I gave it 4 Stars because they sort of shift to the side if I put alot of pressure, however once the weight of the kayaks get on it, I don’t think it will be any problem.



by:

The carrier seems to be of good quality but I couldn't install it when I got it because the M6 bolts that came with it we too short. Two different lengths came with it but even the long ones were too short for my new Rhino Areo cross bars.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on this products. These are designed to fit to SportRack crossbars as well as most factory racks, unfortunately they may not fit all other aftermarket crossbars.

The product, the SportRack Kayak Carrier, is great. But my review is for etrailer. Amazing customer service. Great communications. We had a small shipping snafu - no problem. They made it all right. Pure professionals and eased my mind.

I will always buy from etrailer when the need is there.

Thanks!

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier to Fit on Rola Sport Roof Rack Elliptical Crossbars
    I recommend the SportRack kayak carrier # SR5513 because of the J-style cradles. It fits all sorts of crossbars such as round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory crossbars. It takes up minimal space on your roof to carry more gear such as the canoe you referenced. See the picture I included. The SportRack kayak carrier # SR5513 will include 2 tie-down straps and 1 set of tie-down ropes to secure your kayak. The maximum kayak weight is 75 pounds and please ensure your Rola roof rack...

  • Will SportRack Folding J-Style Kayak Carrier Fit on Thule AeroBlade Crossbars
    The SportRack Kayak Carrier, Folding # SR5513 will fit well on Thule AeroBlade Crossbars. This J-style kayak carrier will fit crossbars up to 3-1/4 inches wide. I've attached a review video showing the carrier on a AeroBlade crossbar for you.

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendation for SeaSucker MonkeyBar Roof Rack
    Since the Mustang is a low-slung vehicle, I'd recommend the Thule Compass kayak carrier, part # TH890000. The Compass can carry 2 kayaks or up to two stand up paddleboards. The carrier has a maximum capacity of 120 lbs, so if your kayak's aren't more than 60 lbs apiece, this would be a great choice. 4 tie down straps to secure the kayaks to the carrier and 2 sets of bow/stern tie downs are included. The SportRack # SR5513 would also work fine, but you'd need two of them which would be...

  • Troubleshooting BowDown Fitment on Aero-Style Crossbars on 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
    The Yakima BowDown Folding J-Style Kayak Carrier actually fit round, square, and aero-style roof racks. The Yakima JetStream bars measure 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall as well so I'm kind of surprised to hear that it won't fit on the 2-1/2" wide x 3/4" tall crossbars you installed on your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. Yakima does a great job at getting their products to fit and their mounting brackets are some of the best out there so if you can't get the BowDown to fit I would be surprised if the SportRack...

  • Best Kayak Rack for a 14 Foot Tandem Kayak on a 2009 Mazda 6
    I reached out to Sport Rack to confirm if the Sport Rack Kayak Carrier, part # SR5513 can be used with tandem Kayaks and they confirmed that it is useable with tandem kayaks. I do recommend adding a set of Malone Quick-Lash loops, part # MPG308. These will extend a tie-down point from your hood or trunk and make securing the kayak overall easier.

  • SportRack J-Style Kayak Carrier Compatibility with Aero-Style Roof Rack Crossbars
    Both of the SportRack J-style rack-mount kayak carriers we offer are shown on the linked page. These two carriers, # SR5511 and # SR5513, both fit most shapes of roof rack crossbars, including aero-style bars such as the Rhino-Rack Vortex bars like # RRVA180B.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers for a 2014 Hyundai Tucson with Panoramic Roof and Raised Side Rails
    Since your 2014 Hyundai Tucson GLS has the factory raised side rails, you can install a roof rack even with the panoramic roof. You just would not necessarily be able to open the roof with the rack installed. Rola 59870 that you are interested in will fit your Tucson. There are a few different kayak carriers that you will be able to use with this rack that I recommend. I have listed them below: SportRack carrier # SR5511 SportRack carrier # SR5513 Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 The Thule Stacker...

  • Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack Bike Carrier Recommendation for Rhino Rack Crossbars
    We offer an etrailer.com branded folding J-style kayak carrier that would work great for you, part # E98878. This carrier provides the convenience of being able to fold at a budget minded price. For a roof mounted bike rack, if you need a rack for occasional use a budget-priced rack like the Malone Pilot # MPG2103 would be a good choice. The rack has universal brackets that are compatible with the Rhino Rack crossbars you already have. If the rack will see more use than occasionally,...

  • What J-Style Kayak Carrier do You Recommend with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars?
    For a j-style kayak carrier that is compatible with the Seasucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B, I recommend the Swagman Contour Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed Arms # S65148. The Contour comes with 2 tie-down straps as well as 2 bow/stern anchor ropes with vinyl-coated S-hooks. If you want a kayak carrier that folds down when not in use, I recommend the SportRack Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Roof Mount # SR5513.

  • Tonneau Cover that Works w/TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack on 2014 Nissan Titan 5-1/2 Bed w/Utili-Track
    For your 2014 Nissan Titan, the only Tonneau cover that we know works with TracRac sliding ladder rack # TA21606-02-02 is the Revolver, # BAK39505. Other covers have proven to be problematic with varying degrees of contact between the ladder rack rails and the Tonneau cover itself. You can use the ladder rack but will want to remove the Tonneau cover while the ladder rack is mounted to your 2014 Nissan Titan. While I believe there is a very good chance the 2 parts will work fine together...

This will work well with the SportRack Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Roof Mount # SR5513 which is rated for a kayak up to 17 feet long and up to 36 inches wide with a maximum weight of 75 lbs.

  • Recommended Rooftop Kayak Carrier Systems for 2013 Chevy Spark
    Foam block style kayak carriers like the Rightline Gear # RL100K10 are a great option in certain conditions, such as when you're travelling a short distance through town to get to your local pond, but if you intend to transport your kayak at 75-mph on the interstate for hundreds of miles, then a roof rack and different carrier are called for. The Rightline kayak carrier also works great in cases where a car's roof weight capacity is pretty close to the kayak's weight. Since you cannot...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers for a 2017 Honda CR-V
    You will need a roof rack to support the SportRack Kayak Carrier, part # SR5513. I recommend Rhinoi-Rack's kits for an easy, quick installation that will give you a flexible kit for your kayaks and other applications. If you don't have rails that run front to back, you'll want this kit: Aero Bar Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 Legs # RRRLKVA Fit Kit # DK284 If you do have rails that run front to back, you'll instead get an aerobar rack, part # RRRVP46. With either kiit, you'll be able to...
