This product was very easy to install and I did it by myself. Fits my car perfectly and has handled the job well. No problems at all. Well worth the money.

5 steve
these racks are built as well as the$ 400 systems. I have an 08 escape and went to the dealer to test out a yakima rack but could n't justify the extreme price to carry a canoe I paid less than that. the malone system is built just as rugged and easy to use. you will only need the manual if you have a hole in the head

5 enigma
this was so easy to put on my car it took maybe 5 minutes. Also fast shipping from Dick's would recommend. The cross bars are made well very sturdy and sure beats dealer pricing.

I have used other car roof canoe carriers and found them lacking. This one, used in combination with the Evo WingBar, is tremendously better. The engineering and quality of materials is impressive. I ca n't imagine anything more secure and easy to use.

Trying to research options to haul a canoe a few times on my F150 and this came up. It ’s a bit of a pricey option when combined with the the roof rack. In the end I was able to haul a canoe securely without issue. All straps were provided and the install was easy and secure. I ’ d recommend it.

My partner and I recently bought two kayaks from Dick ’s and needed to transport them over 100 miles through several mountain passes on a windy day. On a whim, we bought this kit and we are so glad we did. In the parking lot of the Dick ’s, we were able to install the kit on the crossbars of her Subaru Outback within 30 minutes and did not need a single tool for assembly! The instructions that came with the kit were clear and taught us how to safely secure our kayaks to the car. After tightening the straps, the kayaks didn ’ t budge for the entire trek home. This is a great product that is easy to use and effective in fulfilling its purpose.

5 Snarkana
Worked well for our 1, 200 mile trip. We had two kayaks strapped to this and had no issues.

I have the Malone AirFlow towers and rails and the BigFoot Pro pads are a great accessory to get the canoe/kayak up off the vehicle roof. Quality construction. I just wish there was a way to lock them to the crossrails.

4 jfargz
Overall, a great way to store your canoe on your vehicle's cross bars. Felt like the price was about triple for what you actually get in terms of plastic braces, 2 straps, and screws. However, it's a well- built product that should last. Have used it twice thus far for our canoe... have a good hang of it now... could probably reinstall/take- down in 10 minutes tops.

4 Reinyroo
I placed this on a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited with factory crossbars. These worked great for holding a 16 foot canoe. Never moved and protected the vehicle. I would give it five stars if there was a way to lock the mounts to the car( None of the other canoe carrier companies had locks either. ie thule, Yakima) It would be nice if you did not have to undo all the screws each time you removed the mount from the car, but not a big deal. I would recommend this and I would buy it again.

4 ken

I bought the air flow2 58 ” for my Subaru forester. They fit well and easy to install but they were too wide for my liking and they whistled load at a paltry 32mph. I called Mallone direct in Maine. They said that I did everything right. So I returned them to Dick ’s and reordered the 50 ” size. This time I made sure to install the grove rubber strips exactly so there was no space for the wind to catch and whistle. Much better this time. Do still get some whistle but nothing like before. I can put black electrical tape on the TOP stip and that will eliminate all whistle according to what I ’ ve read. Will definitely keep these. Have a friend who has three Subaru and three different brands of cross bars and each has some kind of noise. Even the$ 600 Thule.

[ We 're still waiting on a bike mount so we have n't gotten to put the rack to use yet but it looks great and is great quality. As with most instruction booklets, the instructions that came with it were n't overly helpful but there are plenty of great videos on YouTube that made it a fairly quick install. Would definitely buy again.

I got this roof rack so my girlfriend and I can only take one car when we go on our kayak trips with 2 kayaks. We have two 12 foot kayaks about 75 lbs each and the rack along with the J hooks hold them really well and secure. Really well engineered and the fit was perfect. Seemed expensive at first but nothing else on market really like it with the durability and weight capacity it provides.

Once you put it on the pads it just does n't move, very stable and when you need to put it on or remove it, its a snap the pads incline so you can grab it easier. thanks Thule

5 Zach
For a while now, I 've had one DockGrip and one( competitor) J cradle to transport two boats. I 've always preferred the DockGrip, and finally ponied up for a second. This transports a somewhat heavy boat, but it's always felt secure, loaded easily, and been a breeze to take off and put on each season. I 've never worried about the boat on the DockGrip like I have the one on the J. Additionally, Thule includes a pretty high quality and comprehensive tie down kit. I 'd not only recommend this to a friend, I recommended it to myself... and bought a second.

Frequently Asked Questions For Roof Top Canoe Carrier

When selecting a roof top canoe carrier, consider the weight capacity, compatibility with your vehicle, and the type of canoe you have. It's also important to evaluate the ease of installation and whether the carrier provides adequate protection for your canoe during transport. Additionally, look for features like adjustable straps and padding to ensure a secure fit.

Roof top canoe carriers can be used with most vehicles, but compatibility varies based on the vehicle's roof design and weight limits. It's essential to check the specifications of both the carrier and your vehicle to ensure a proper fit. Some carriers may require additional crossbars or adapters for vehicles without factory-installed roof racks.

Roof top canoe carriers are typically made from durable materials such as steel, aluminum, or high-strength plastic. These materials are designed to withstand outdoor conditions and provide long-lasting support for your canoe. Additionally, many carriers feature protective padding or coatings to prevent damage to both the canoe and the vehicle.

Securing your canoe to a roof top carrier involves using straps or tie-downs that are designed for this purpose. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper securing techniques, which usually include placing the canoe upside down and tightening the straps evenly to prevent movement during transport. Always double-check the tightness of the straps before hitting the road.

Many roof top canoe carriers are versatile and can accommodate other types of watercraft, such as kayaks or paddleboards, depending on their design and weight capacity. However, it's crucial to verify the specifications and recommendations of the carrier to ensure safe transport. Some carriers may come with adjustable features to better fit different types of watercraft.

Using a roof top canoe carrier offers several advantages, including better fuel efficiency and improved visibility compared to towing a trailer. It also allows for easier access to the vehicle's interior and rear storage space. Additionally, roof top carriers can be more convenient for short trips or when navigating through tight spaces where trailers may not fit.
