How to Determine if 2 Malone SeaWing Kayak Carriers Will Fit a 2017 Toyota Highlander OEM Roof Rack

Question:

I am interested in the Malone SeaWing Saddle system for transporting two Kayaks. I have a 2017 Toyota Highlander with the stock aero cross bars. Will two sets of the SeaWings fit on my vehicle? If not, what do you recommend for putting two kayaks on my SUV? I have purchased several items from your site and have been pleased with all my purchases and look forward to your recommendations.

You should be able to mount 2 sets of the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG107MD on the OEM crossbars of your 2017 Toyota Highlander. I'm not sure the length of your bars but you scan confirm that 2 of these will fit as long as you have at least 29" long crossbars.

If your crossbar length is shorter than that you'll want to go with a different carrier like the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 which allows you to carry 2 kayaks - one on each side of the upright.
