Can Swagman Watersport Carriers # S65145 Install on Roof Rack that Has Flush Bars

Question

Question:

I like how you product look. It seems like a good quality product. However, on a video saddle installation showed the man was installing the unit outside of the edge of the car. Is there a reason for that? The crossbar of my roof rack does not stick out of the edge as your video model. Ill have to install your product inside of the edge of my SUV. Will that be an issue with your product? Please let me know so I can make the purchase decision. Thanks,

The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier # S65145 that you referenced can install on a flush bar type of roof rack like yours where there isn't crossbar that sticks through the feet of the rack. On our video we installed them on the outside of the feet to make filming easier as it's easier to see everything that way.

I attached a picture that shows this rack installed on a rack similar to yours for you to check out as well.
