Kayak Roof Rack 2 Pairs J-Bar Carrier Holder for Canoe, SUV, Cars, Truck, Surf Ski, Car Top Mount Racks for Trip, Set of 4

We have been using this for a few months. It is a sturdy, well made rack. The quality of the foam seems excellent, and I believe that most of the rack is made of aluminum that is thick enough to work well. It was easy to install on our 2011 Honda Pilot with factory rails. There is not enough room for two of these racks on top, but using this in combination with another single carrier, we can carry 3 kayaks on top.We carried a large kayak on this during strong winds, and I was worried about the rack, but it held up well.This rack was much easier to assemble, install and tighten than the single carrier that we purchased. The straps that came with this are not the best, but better than some others we have used.

Works perfectly. Added to the factory roof rack of a 2005 caravan. Installation was a breeze. Straps fit many size kayaks.

The hardware for these work well. The tubes are not strong enough to be relied on for extreme forces but under compression off the top and bottom hoops, are great at securing lightweight kayaks to the top of the car. I use four NRS 12’ straps to secure on each of the four racks for two kayaks. Other reviews noted the hardware coming loose but I started with red thread lock for the never remove hardware and check the yearly installation hardware occasionally and have never had them come loose. I did use some 1mm rubber pads for the crossbars to protect the finish from the bottom metal strap. Feel free to inquire with questions.

Easy to put together just a little time consuming. I put them all together by myself. I haven had a chance to use them yet but can’t wait!

Don’t buy this product. The hole in the smaller piece isn’t cut big enough for a screw to go into it. Bad quality and you can tell they mass produce these without any inspection. Now I’m stuck with 3 out of the 4 so I get 75% of what I paid for. Would do 0 stars if I could

For $50, you get what you pay for with this item, and as long as you know that, it's ok. The j-bars require assembly, and everything was packaged nicely in the box. The j-bars, metal bracket plates, and rubber bases were all put in bubble wrap, and the hardware was in its own ziplock bag. An instruction sheet was included - no words really just a single large diagram of how all the pieces were to assemble. For someone not used to assembling things like this and reading lackluster instructions, it could be confusing. Once I figured it out and got the right tools (deep-socket and rachet are useful), it probably took 15-20 minutes total for assembly.Installing the j-bars on the roof crossbars was not hard, but I have to warn you that at least with my package, two of the eight plastic knobs were threaded incorrectly or manufactured incorrectly, and wouldn't tighten on the mounting screws. On one of them, using channel-locks just broke the plastic knob. They really aren't needed to be honest, so I used a 13mm wrench and tightened the mounting nuts that way. Took a longer but no worries.The j-bars themselves are sturdy, have nice padding on them, and look nice. I carried two kayaks 40+ miles on the highway and no issues at all after I installed the j-bars. However, the cam straps that came with the set were at least 24" too short and weren't able to be used to tie-down the kayaks. Basically, the cam straps were useless, though I was able to use two of them together to use as a bow tie-down on one of the kayaks. Thankfully I had brought four rachet straps with me just in case, so I had to use those instead of the cam straps. I have since purchased cam straps from Lowe's that are much longer.So, the j-bars themselves get 5-stars, the cam straps and knobs get 1-star. Overall, 3-stars.

Holds my kayaks great only time there was noise when I went to the beach with two kayaks on the straps made noise but they do not very easy to install they work great and I have yet to hit on indoor parking garages like at the court house or mall

Very nice and easy to assemble. Easy to assemble but once I assembled them, they wouldn't work with my roof rack system so I sold them. Good value for the money. excellent to deal with.
