Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Kia Optima with a Naked Roof
Question:
I have a 2014 kia optima and im looking to buy a 10 ft kayak. Would the foam block system work for my car? Or would I have to get a more expensive roof rack system?

Expert Reply:
The Malone Foam Block Kayak Carrier part # MPG152 will fit on to naked roofs like what you have on your 2014 Kia Optima so it would work well to carry your 10 foot kayak. This is a great, economic way to carry a kayak without having to also install an expensive roof rack.
For straps you will need the # E98876-2 as well.
Be sure to check the owners manual of your Optima to determine the roof capacity.
