Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Honda Accord for Kayak Carriers
Question:
Are you sure the sportrack 101 complete roof system supports Kayak carriers? I purchased one from Amazon and it only listed bikes and skis so I am returning it. There was a code 9q in the instructions which exclude Kayaks.

We have really great and economically priced roof racks that fit your 2013 Honda Accord but I would not recommend the Sportrack you mentioned for a couple reasons. One being the rack just doesn't fit most vehicles very well as it was intended to a universal style rack, and the other is it's not good for kayak carrier use like you found out.
Instead I'd recommend the Rhino Rack Square Bar Rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK359 as it's a custom fit rack that will fit MUCH better than the Sportrack and can be used with kayak carriers like the Rhino Rack J-Style carrier part # S512 which is padded and can fold down when not in use.
