Review on 🚣 2 Pairs Heavy Duty Kayak Rack with Ratchet Tie - Mount on Car Roof Top Crossbar - Easy to Carry Kayak Canoe Boat Surf Ski (J-Bar Rack) by Gary Newman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Incorrect hardware, inadequate instructions

The supplied fasteners, specifically the hex nuts or "NYLOK NUTS" did NOT match the required and supplied screws. A trip to the hardware store later for 24x M8 - 1.25 nuts means we COULD be in business (note these are metric bolts). Another problem though is that the top of the screws go through the holes in the rubber mount they are supposed to hold, so I used washers to keep them from falling through. TBD if there will be a problem if we tie down the kayaks and carry them to the lake for 2.5 hours. The instructions are horrible, they give no indication of where to put the washers in order for the screws to be properly installed etc. Unfortunately I had to give a premature review due to the wrong hardware which would have rendered this completely unusable. I'm sorry to say they will work just fine when carrying our kayaks, so I plan to update my review in anticipation of any issues.

Pros
