Could Malone Deluxe Foam Kayak Carrier Mount Permanently to Naked Roof
Question:
I was just wondering if it would be ok to permanently secure the blocks on my roof . . are they durable enough ? So I dont have to have two people to set up the kayak to go ???

I wouldn't necessarily recommend permanently mounting the Malone Deluxe kayak carrier # MPG152 to the roof of your vehicle as that's not how it was intended to be used and we don't have a way we can recommend to accomplish this that we know would work well.
That said the blocks are very durable. If you get back to me with the year/make/model of your vehicle I could recommend a roof rack that would make mounting and using this rack easier with one person as well.
