Now, let's address some frequently asked questions about the AA-Racks Jetty Saddle Rack:

The clearance needed on the bottom of your crossbars to attach these racks may vary depending on your vehicle. However, one customer mentioned that for their 2012 Jeep Wrangler, the only modification needed was to make holes in the bumper to bolt it to the frame. Keep in mind that individual circumstances may differ, but this customer's experience showcases the versatility of the rack.

If you have 1.5" of clearance from your car roof to the rack, there should be no problem fitting these racks on your vehicle. They are designed to accommodate various clearance measurements, ensuring a secure fit for your kayak carrier needs.

Lastly, it's important to address concerns regarding the reliability of the rack. While the majority of customers have had positive experiences, one customer reported a breakage at the welds, causing their kayak to hang off the side. It's crucial to ensure proper installation and regularly inspect the rack for any signs of wear or damage to prevent any unexpected incidents. Safety should always be a top priority when transporting your kayak.
