Specs:
The Malone FoldAway-J holds your kayak on its side, leaving plenty of room on your crossbars for another kayak rack, a bike rack, or a cargo carrier. Padding on the arms and base protect your kayak from scratches and scuffs. The arms are adjustable to perfectly fit different size kayaks. They also fold down to increase overhead clearance for parking in your garage.
The carrier includes 2 cam-buckle straps and integrated strap holders to secure your kayak to the rack. The strap holders attach to the top of the carrier to keep the straps in place while loading your kayak. A set of bow/stern tie-downs are also included to secure the kayak to the front and back of your vehicle. If your vehicle doesn't have any tie-down points, you can get an anchor kit (sold separately) which will let you create anchor points in the creases of your vehicle's hood and hatch.
The carrier clamps to most crossbars without the need for tools. Simply set the rack on your crossbars, slide the mounting brackets over the bolts, and secure them with the T-knobs.

l am disappointed as the rubber cushioning has already worn away after one summer of usage
I purchased this to transport kayaks. I used them for the first time, and all went well. Since all kayaks are built differently, you will need to tweek how you load your equipment. I will have to continue to work on this. But as I said everything went well and everything returned safely. The purchase process and delivery went well as always with etrailer. Great company to work with.
Kayak season won't start here until early June since all the lakes are frozen, so I won't know how the racks work until then. Thank you for your prompt shipping.
Great product….e trailer has been excellent for all my orders
easy install looks like they will work very well.
Good quality, very easy to install. just got it yesterday, so haven't tried the kayak on it yet,but do not expect any problems. I would order from trailer again!
Great customer service!
easy piecy!
Just put them together and am ready to go. They are great quality at a great price
Omg what great service! Customer service person I talked with was excellent and shipping was really fast.
Very nice, haven’t used it yet but I’m sure it will exceed my expectations!
Very good quality materials for the price point. No tool
Assembly and installation is a bonus. I’ve used them for two weeks now, hailing in both two kayak and single kayak configurations. The lever that you pull
Up/down on is going to break. Period. If you have the rotating level too tight you can’t switch it up or down and if you have it too loose, it will come unscrewed and then you have a hard time longing up that no internal thread to get it back on. Also, it’s a pain to have to move the entire system to reconfigure needs. Would be nice if it had a slide and lock back in option once on the cross bars. Pulling off 16 wing nuts isn’t ideal. The video was great, appreciated that. Do wish they had shown how to tie down when using two kayaks because once you have one on the system when you place the second on the opposite side, you no longer have access to that center rack. Shipping speed was excellent. The quality of the cam straps is impressive. I have a hand injury and so getting the bolts secured was difficult. The fact that they come with two different lengths to accommodate different rack heights was really nice. Make sure you have your cross bars 24” apart as the instructions say.

The carrier was easy enough to install. As my wife and I are in our 70s, even with a 2 step ladder it was difficult to get the kayaks onto the crossover SUV top. Even with both of us holding up the kayak we had trouble with the straps falling out of place while we were attempting to hold the kayak in place.
