Efficient Car Top Kayak Carrier for 2 Pairs | DrSportsUSA Universal J-Bar Rack for Kayak Canoe Paddle Boat on SUV/Car Roof Review

DO NOT BUY. The booth wasn't strong at all. While driving on the highway without exceeding the speed limit. It broke and my kayak fell. Not durable at all. Don't waste money. It would be possible to tie up both kayaks without a kayak roof rack and that would be much safer.

Covered with large white logos, bright orange straps, incorrect shipping instructions. Unfortunately I need it this weekend so can't go back but I went with this version specifically because it didn't include a logo and was thin. At the very least, new straps and perhaps a way to deal with flashy logos will be required. upset.

It was very easy to assemble but the instructions required a gasket that was not provided. As you can see one of the J-Rods is broken as are 2 of the ratchet. A broken rod scraped the crap out of my roof rack and I can't unscrew it so I have to cut it off. I wrote to the company about a broken rod and they sent me a J-Rod HALF. I am very disappointed with this product and the response from the company.

So my husband is installing and here is a review. The carriages' bolt holes did not match and required modifications to get them through. The instructions weren't clear on how many rubber pads were needed. Use both options, although the instructions refer to the singular seal. Directions are weak. Any time an installation needs to be disassembled to reassemble, there are no instructions. I could never have installed this myself and the crafty husband is unfazed by the technique. Hopefully once…

Not repaired Not tried yet. The screws holding it to the rails have stripped the top of the plastic so the screw is spinning trying to tighten it. One screw was badly threaded and had to be rethreaded before installation. For the price you would think that hard plastic and screws would be of better quality. The rubber protector is too thin and breaks easily. If you have a sunroof, you won't be able to open it if you leave the luggage racks on it. Why do you ask? Screws are too long! When your…

The product has rust in the box. I have nuts for 13 and 14 mm. Due to deformation of the plastic, carriage bolts had to be screwed in. The gasket that runs under the crossbar attachment had to be stretched to fit. I haven't even used them yet, but I don't think they will last very long. Nice design but no quality control. If you're using a thin OEM crossbar, you'll probably need to cut some length off the carriage bolts, like I did. UPDATE: After my second kayak trip, I noticed rust running…

We bought these J-Racks for my wife's kayak and they mount on the roof of our truck. We have the Rhino Rack rail system and the brackets fit, but don't sit well on the underside of the rails. The J-bars are solid and I like the locking mechanism to move both the tall and short bars that hold the kayak in place. One downside from a safety standpoint is that the bottom mounting nuts are not tight so you may need to add an extra locknut to prevent them from loosening. The product comes with two…

This product failed for two reasons: First, the hardware is rusting and leaving rust stains on my car's paintwork. Crossbars on the roof rack. Too bad this product would have gotten five stars if higher quality nuts and bolts had been used and the manufacturer had supplied a simple plastic sleeve to allow the clamp to fit flat crossbars. I was able to install by making spacers that I cut from a small piece of rubber heater tubing. It turned a 10 minute install into a project, but it worked…

To be honest the quality of the straps and the feel/weight of the rack itself was much better than the cheap rack I used. The main feature I was looking for was a collapsible stand so I didn't have to take it off to park in the garage every time I used it. It folds up, not flat but just enough for me to get into my garage. So those are the positives. The straps that were supposed to hold the kayak on the car were so short that I couldn't tie the kayak properly. I had to use my old, longer…
