Review on πŸš— Enhanced Malone Standard Foam Block Universal Car Top Kayak Carrier Kit: Ultimate Padding and Versatility by John Floyd

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Car Top Foam Block Kayak Rack

Honestly disappointed. We've had good days with it and really bad ones. We placed blocks on a factory grate on our Outback. Position the kayak right side up, strap the beast through the rear doors and attach to the hitch at the rear and the only available metal at the front, located on either the left or right side of the car. I read all the other reviews and followed every advice at least once. It slides over the handlebars and the strap makes a deafening noise (even with the free end inside and tightened enough to cause the kayak to flex severely). We had to connect him about 4 times in the last 25 miles. makes angry. I'll try to create a center connection in the front by tying a short rope to both pieces of metal so the kayak can be tied in the middle and I may have to resort to tape on the rungs to keep the blocks from slipping.

Pros
  • Best in its Niche
Cons
  • Quality
