2 Kayak Carrier Recommendation For 12 Ft Kayaks On 2013 VW Jetta With Factory Crossbars

Question:

I have OEM Roof Racks already on my 2013 Jetta and was wondering if the Thule The Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier Code: TH830 would work on my existing roof racks or if you could suggest anything to haul two 12foot kayaks. Thanks!

The Thule Stacker, part # TH830 is designed to be used for kayaks that are 10 ft long and shorter. It will not work with a 12 ft kayak.

I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier System, part # Y04073 on your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta with the factory crossbars. This system comes with included straps that helps secure the kayaks to the crossbars and also the bow and stern tie-down straps.

I have attached a product review video for this system you can check out.
