Really Thought I'd Found An Affordable Solution, But Rack Straps Drew In Water

I loved these racks for the first few weeks I had them. Worked well with a convertible system added to them and successfully carried two kayaks comfortably. However, the first time it rained the straps drew in so much water it was dripping and pooling in the seats. Depending on your door seal, it may not impact all cars but I was disappointed and am returning.

Hope This Is Helpful

I have a bare roof 2014 Honda Accord. The car is too old to invest in a professionally installed rack. The price was right for this. At first I was surprised the straps go through the car. It took ~45 minutes to install, get it set correctly on the roof and tightened. I had anticipated leaving it on the roof for the summer, but went through a car wash and discovered because the straps go through the door frame it will leak! I took the rack off knowing a storm was coming. Frustrated I considered just returning it. Well I'm glad I didn't! Since I knew the location on the roof it was super simple to reinstall. I left the J-hooks on the rack when I took it off/back on so no need to mess with them. I comfortably drove 65mph on the highway with 2 kayaks and nothing budged. After some trial and error and thinking this was a poor choice I can say now I am beyond pleased with the purchase. I had previously used foam blocks, but needed to upgrade in order to transport 2 kayaks.

Easy

Easy and safe for cars without rails to transport a kayak. Tie downs are sold separately.

Exactly What I Needed!

I bought this roof rack to help transport my 13.5 ft kayak and my daughter's 6ft kayak. Before I had just mine and transported it with cheap styrofoam blocks that worked, but made me very nervous while driving. But once I needed to transport 2, I didn't trust the styrofoam ones. This purchase is exactly what I needed! Easy to install, very sturdy, and helped transport both kayaks with no problem what so ever! Very happy with my purchase.

I’m Out About $500-$600.

Bought the Malone Versarail and used it for 2 weeks before the straps failed last night. My entire kayak and rack flew off into traffic on the interstate going 60MPH - not even fast. Kayak and rack are both ruined. Very unhappy and afraid to ever use again.
