I'm a little surprised that the clamps on the # LR54FR won't tighten down on your 2023 Nissan Rogue crossbars but it is not unheard of with watersport carriers. The easiest way to fix the issue is to add in a thin piece of rubber. This will increase the crossbar diameter and fill the extra space which will allow you to tighten the clamps down so they're nice and secure. view full answer...
AJ, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR could potentially work with both your Hobie Outback and Hobie Passport Kayaks, but it looks like you might run into a height issue.
It looks like this carrier can handle up to 12" tall kayaks which both your Outback and your Passport exceed. So I'd actually recommend you go with the XL versions # LR54FR instead, which is going to give you a bunch more room and will still work great with the Malone Microsport. view full answer...
Yes, you can carry one SUP and one surfboard with the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR.
For the second portion of your question the answer is also yes, you would still need to tie it down for safety. view full answer...
Hello again, John! Happy you liked the StealthBar # JA8938 and the answer to your question is, you can absolutely use the channel mounted Lockrack Surfboard Rack # LR59FR.
The base of the Lockrack # LR59FR is a mere 13-3/4 inches long, while the StealthBar # JA8938 crossbars have a top channel and measure more than 35 inches long, so there's plenty of room for the carrier. view full answer...
The 3-1/2" width measurement is going to be the limit for the # MPG112MD and anything else like it. With an 1/8" difference you might just be able to force it but those factory bars look nice so I wouldn't risk scratching them up for something that isn't even guaranteed to work.
It looks like those crossbars have T-slots in the top but Malone discontinued their T-slot kit for this product. Assuming your crossbars do have top channels you could use the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier # TH819... view full answer...
Hey there John, we can definitely get your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS set up with a roof rack to go between your raised side rails. While I'm not 100% sure what rack you meant when you mentioned no crossbars, I can tell you that you definitely do need crossbars.
And since you want a style that goes between the rails (called a flush-mount style), the Malone # MPG215 wouldn't be an option as they overhang. Instead, the only flush-mount rack that fits your Mercedes is from Rhino-Rack:
