Roof Rack Recommended for Carrying Kayak on 2018 Chevrolet Volt
Question:
I have a 2018 Chevrolet Volt and am looking for a Roof Rack for it and also to carry a Kayak on the roof rack. Do you sell both of these items. It kind of looks like you do from your ads but I am not sure what you have or what I need. Can you please advise. Thank you very much

We do indeed have a roof rack and a kayak carrying solution for your 2018 Chevy Volt. I'd recommend a Yakima CoreBar roof rack, which can be assembled from the following parts:
• Yakima 50 Inch CoreBar Crossbars, part # Y00421
• Yakima BaseLine Towers, part # Y28TR
• Roof Rack Fit Clips # Y06137
• Roof Rack Fit Clips # Y06126
Yakima makes a high-quality product that's very highly rated by our customers. The rack would provide you with many years of trouble-free service.
For a kayak carrier, I'd recommend the etrailer brand # e98878 folding kayak carriers. The carrier folds down for better overhead clearance when the kayaks aren't installed, and the carrier includes the straps for securing the kayak to the carrier, the bow and stern tie downs and the tie down anchors that can be shut in the vehicle hood and hatchback or trunk to the metal hooks on the tie downs don't scratch the vehicle.
I've linked to a video showing a similar rack being installed on a Chevy Volt and a demonstration video for the kayak carrier I recommended.
