Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendations for 2013 Infiniti EX37 Carrying Sealution XL Kayak

Question:

I have an 2013 Infiniti EX37, I am buying a Wilderness Systems Sealution XL Kayak. My car has OEM rails I want to be sure A THULE THARB47 roof rack and an SPORTRACK SR5511 are a complete and workable solution for cartopping. Thank you.

The Thule silver Aero roof rack system for your 2013 Infiniti EX37 consists of parts # TH711200 and # TH710401. This fits your factory-installed roof side rails.

The kayak carrier you reference, SportRack J-Style # SR5511, is fully compatible with the Thule Aero load bars.

Please note that I could not find a weight specification for your Sealution XL kayak, but the other Wilderness Systems kayaks I researched have weights as high as 87-lbs. You will want to be sure your particular kayak does not exceed the 75-lb capacity of this carrier. Kayaks up to 17-feet in length are compatible.

Also, it is a good idea to check your EX37 owner's manual for any guidance regarding its rooftop weight capacity to ensure that is not exceeded.
