Abahub Kayak Roof Rack Soft Roof Rack Pads for Car Kayak Surfboard | Universal soft roof rack for kayak & surfboard, with 2 Tie Down Straps, 2 Tie Down Ropes, 2 Hood Loops and Storage Bag

... if you are not ready to purchase roof rack for your vehicle. It works great for my mercedes gla. Doesn't scratch the sun roof or damage interior. I was skeptical but I have used about 10 times since purchasing and I have no interior damage to tan upholstery and no scratching. It was super easy to put on. The straps and the clips are very durable and the bag that the product comes in is made of super heavy duty material with industrial zippers. I like that the clips have fabric around them so they do not damage my vehicle; regardless of how tight I have made the straps. Never used the latches for the hood because it holds the board securely even driving at 65 mph. I also never looped the straps more than once. And I LOVE that it folds up and stores in a compact case. One little note for some of you who may have purchased this and are wondering why it is making noise.... I have to put my SUP right side up (because of how the board is made and the angling of my car roof and the racks). Otherwise the sound is unbearable and no twisting of the straps will do anything. I drove 75 miles with the noise, and then 75 back after fixing it in silence! Went about 65mph. Glad I figured it out.

Great roof rack pads , works perfect even on a smaller car, EASY TO USE , would recommend to everyone

Easy to install, lightweight, and comes with a carrying bag. We recently bought a new van that didn’t have a roof rack, and we needed to be able to quickly accommodate our kayaks for a camping trip. This did the job, although we did have to feed it through the windows for the sliding doors on the van. Otherwise, great product. We didn’t notice any loud noise coming from the top of the van, and our kayaks were incredibly secure. We really liked that the buckles on the cinch strap had covers to protect our paint job from scratches as well!

Works really well. I have a Scion and it fits just fine with my 9 foot kayak. Doesn't leave marks or anything on the roof. The ratchets are sturdy and hold tight. I find the rope to be a little long so I have to double up the tie but it doesn't affect the hold at all.

Impressive quality for the price! I have had no issues with these racks so far while hauling my hobie outback kayak. My kayak weighs 88 pounds while empty and these racks support it easily. I can comfortably go 65mph on the freeway without any movement of the kayak. The only issue is that these will scratch the roof of your car no matter how careful you are. Any piece of sand or dirt will be pressed under the pads and will scratch and clear coat leaving visible damage. I have a cheap used car so I don’t mind the scratches but would not put these on a new vehicle.

Functionally this system works well. I have transported my kayak several times without issue. Unfortunately there are some very light scratches and marks on my roof from using this rack despite cleaning my car's roof before fitting the rack. Also keep in mind that a car's roof isn't necessarily designed to support weight in the manner this rack requires - there is some slight flexing of the car's roof after tightening down the pads, though there was no lasting damage in my case. If you only need to use it a few times a year or you aren't concerned about damaging your car's finish it might be worth it for you. If you do care about your car, paying the higher cost of a traditional, model specific roof rack may be better if for no other reason than getting the weight off of the roof itself.

I am so happy with this set!! Once fastened correctly, these babies aren't going anywhere. Easy to install. Love the tie downs they are not like the ones im used to and that's a good thing. Good value for money and easy as heck to transport this. I would love an actual sturdy kayak rack but I have a small car and this is my only option. Im so thankful for it!

It works. Note the pads are only as wide as one kayak. I was able to use other padding to supplement the other side so if you are looking to move two kayaks you may want to get two sets. All tie downs were good condition and easy to use. I added a bag to the front to prevent any potential scratches. I did add a few ratchet straps as well because i was going 100 miles just as additional insurance. Perfect when you don't have roof racks.

Fantastici, le uso per la tavola da surf, veramente semplici da montare.

..sehr günstiger Dachträger für den Transport unseres Kanu…einfaches System aber effektive Befestigung des Dachträgers. …schneller und sicherer Halt auf dem Dach…uns gefällt der Träger optimal und das zu einem fairen Preis!!

Top Qualität. Schnell montierbar. Transportiere damit ein Kanu-SUP.

Great item. Just be aware if you leave it on your roof when it's raining the straps wick a bit of moisture into your car. It doesn't leak too badly but don't leave it on in a rain storm.

The product is as it is described. Works well. There is a risk of temporarily denting the roof of the car but it popped back out. Straps work well. Having the bag to store all the pieces is very helpful.
