I bought these to keep my kayaks from sliding around the
crossbars on my Yukon. Initial impression, some cheap foam tubes
cut in half and some fabric stitched half assed around the foam
with some ties on the ends and cheap velcro to help secure them.
For $30, that's exactly what you get.
I'm keeping them for now and I'll fix the one.
I like the construction and the
padding. The elastic cords could
be a few inches longer to make
them easier to tie or extend to the
end of the load bar.
I always have good service with Austin
Kayak, however this time I ordered the
pads with logo and I received them
without logo........no big deal, just a
little disappointed. Still they are the
best people to deal with.
Easy to use and has protected
my kayak from any scratches.
An added benefit is that the
pads can roll as the kayak is
loaded. Makes the placement
of my kayak a lot easier
I have a Jeep Wrangler with a
Safari Basket on top, and was
looking for a simple way to
safely carry my new expensive
SUP. These rack pads fit
perfectly on the 1 round bars
on the basket, and the Velcro
straps and end ties keep the
pads firmly in place. They
provide plenty of protective
padding, and I can just slide
the board up there and strap
it down, and Im good to go.
This was the perfect solution
for me, at a very reasonable
price.
I've used these same pads
before on another car. Well
made with plenty of padding.
My only comment, and this
applies to all pads like this,
the pads slide along the bar
as you're trying to position
the kayak on there. I
remedied this by taking a
couple of spare Yakima
snaparounds and clamping them
onto the bars next to the
pads. As you're moving the
kayak around, the pad slides
slightly and runs into the
snaparound, and can't move.
Great rack pads.Hold my
treasured longboards snugly
and protect them very
well.Easy to install.Not so
easy to take off. Have held up
well for last 3 years. Only a
little sun fading.
Bought the rack pads for my Thule system to aid in cushioning when I mount my kayaks on for transport
and they work as advertised... Amazingly fast
shipping...very cool.!!
The pads work well in protecting my kayaks during transport. Providing cord locks would improve the product. I would be nice if the covers were completely sewn on to the pads, after assembly.
That will extend the life of the pad. (It only takes a couple of minutes.)
The roof rack pads fit well on the T-bars of my homemade trailer. They seem to be of good quality materials. I would like to see the manufacture provide cordlocks on the bungees to make them easier to remove for storage or cleaning.
Perfect for my rack and roll trailer to cushion the ride for my kayaks. I added a spring loaded cord keeper to the end bungee instead of knotting them. Very easy this way to take on and off.
Q:
Hi, I have an aluminum ladder rack with tubular crossbars approximately 31/2 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches tall, Would would the 30 in. roof rack pads fit?
Q:
Will these roof racks fit on the crossbars that come from factory on my Lexus GX470? They are ellipse shaped and are 3 inches wide. I had to get the Yakima mighty mounts because the standard mounts were not long enough. Thanks.
A:
Actually, I would suggest the below item. If you have the aero cross bars, this will be a more adequate fit.
