Does Kayak Bow/Stern have to be Tied Down Using Thule Hull-A-Port on a 2015 Ford Fusion
Question:
You dont show fore and aft tie down. Is there no place to secure them with this car? Is it not necessary? Thanks

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.
