Inexpensive Way to Carry Two Kayaks on 2019 GMC Acadia
Question:
Hello! I have a 2019 GMC Acadia with side rails. So in the near future I will be going on a trip with some family and friends to the lake and will likely be taking a couple kayaks along. They aren't my kayaks. I don't really plan on using them again after this trip (but maybe?). Basically just saying this because I really don't need/want an expensive, permanent setup. Really just a safe way to get the kayaks from one place to another. Do you have anything that would fit this goal? Really appreciate your help.

For this type of application with your 2019 GMC Acadia I highly recommend using a couple of the Malone Kayak Carrier # MPG154. These foam blocks can be placed right on top of your Acadia's bare roof to support both of your kayaks and all the needed tie-down straps are included. You can even use those factory raised side rails as anchor points for the straps.
This gives you a completely safe setup to transport those kayaks on your trip but it doesn't require you to install expensive, permanent crossbars on the roof or use higher-cost carriers that may only end up being used once. For infrequent use foam block carriers like these are perfect.
I have attached a short video demonstration so you can get a better idea as to how they install and work.
