Review on Convenient and Versatile: Malone Downloader Folding J-Style 🚗 Universal Car Rack Kayak Carrier with Bow and Stern Lines by Cody Mckechnie

Racks are strong and have a good attachment point. They're locked securely, both top and bottom, they're fine. Take your time fitting them and don't try to slam the parts, they don't seem to like it. The mounting clips are strong and have two screw lengths. Be sure to use the largest possible size so there is enough thread on the wing nuts. I was expecting four bolts per strut rather than two, but they show no tendency to twist or turn in a detrimental way. The stays show that they are great for the aerobar cross brace. Well they fit, but not really. It might be possible to modify the underside of the strut body to better fit the shape of the wing while still working with a square bar. They want to swing back and forth before they're fully tightened, so I spent some time observing the two posts and watching from the side to make sure they lined up with each other. Again, this may not be a big deal for carrying the kayak, but I wanted the platforms to be level with each other to ensure the best possible contact. With a little ingenuity I was able to find effective mounting points on the front and rear of the van.
