One thing to think about when shopping for a roof rack is whether or not you want to purchase one that can fold down when not in use. The benefit of having a folding roof rack is that it can be left on the roof of your car, while the rack is used to carry other items. This is especially helpful if you don’t want to worry about uninstalling your kayak rack in between uses. However, folding racks often tend to be more expensive.
Another thing to consider is how many pieces you want for your rack. Most racks are sold in two pieces, however, some racks can be purchased with four pieces included. These provide more stability while you are transporting your kayak, and may be more effective at securely holding heavier kayaks. They will take more time to install, and will also have a greater footprint on your roof rack than kayaks with just two pieces.
Not all roof racks are compatible with all cars. You’ll want to know what type of material your roof rack is made with (primarily whether it has round, square, or oval cross rails), and you’ll want to check to see if the kayak roof rack you’re considering purchasing is compatible with this type of rack. Attempting to attach a roof rack that isn’t compatible with the roof rack on your car may result in damage to your kayak, your roof rack, or an insecure fit while driving.
The last thing you’ll want to keep in mind is whether or not you need a space on your roof rack to hold paddles. Some roof racks include this as an option, but others don’t. If this is important to you, you’ll want to check and make sure that your roof rack is equipped with this feature before making the decision to buy any particular model.
A: Most of these roof racks are made to hold kayaks up to 36 inches long and weighing as much as 100 pounds. The strongest roof racks can hold kayaks that are up to 42 inches long and weigh as much as 158 pounds. As you shop for roof racks, you’ll want to know how long and heavy your kayak is so you can purchase a roof rack that will safely and securely hold your kayak. You might also want to keep in mind what car you will be using to transport your kayak, and what sort of weight capacity your luggage rack might have.
A: Typically, roof racks are very easy to install to the top of your kayak. Most roof racks are sold in two pieces, although some will be sold in four. Like any other time you would install anything on your roof rack, you’ll want to make sure the pieces are securely placed and the straps are tightened and grounded. If you have never installed any luggage or mounting tools on your roof rack before, you may want to do some research to ensure you’re installing the equipment properly before attempting to drive anywhere.
