DRSPORTS Universal Foldable J-Bar Kayak Rack Folding is a great solution for transporting your kayaks, canoes, surfboards, and SUP boards on your vehicle's roof. This rack is designed to mount to virtually all crossbars and load bars on the market, making it universal and versatile.

Made of heavy-duty coated steel material, this rack is sturdy and durable. It has a capacity to hold one kayak weighing up to 150 lbs. The J-Bar style design provides a secure and stable hold for your watercraft.

The folding design of the rack is a standout feature. It allows you to fold down the J bars after use, saving space on your car's roof and making it easier to navigate through low-clearance areas like parking garages. This design also helps minimize vibration and noise when the rack is not in use.

The rack is equipped with foam gaskets and rubber pedals, which reduce the risk of scratches and friction on your kayak and the roof rack. It also comes with 0.3" soft cushions attached to each bar to protect your watercraft from rubbing and damage.

The DRSPORTS Universal Foldable J-Bar Kayak Rack Folding comes with a complete package for easy installation and convenient loading of your watercraft. It includes a set of mounting hardware with adjustable padding for carrying strength and kayak protection. Additionally, it comes with 4 hook ropes (16 feet long) and 4 ratchet kayak and canoe bow and stern tie-down straps.

This rack is compatible with most crossbars, including square, factory, and aerodynamic crossbars. However, it is not suitable for round bars. Installation is quick and easy, and an installation guide is provided for assistance.

FAQs:

Will this fit crossbars on a 2011 Ford Escape? Bought a different one and will not fit on the vehicle.

Yes, it fits any crossbar height less than 2.5" and width less than 3.5". If the screws are too long, please leave a message when you order, and additional shorter screws will be packed for your convenience.

What is the difference in the Ky-06, Ky-05, and Ky-04?

KY-03 is a double-fold kayak rack where both sides of the J bar can be folded down, saving the most car roof space, and adjusted to a perfect angle to fit your watercraft. KY-04 is a saddle kayak rack with an extra strong and sturdy 4-point gunwale system. Its adjustable arms make loading and unloading much easier. Both KY-03 and KY-04 are for one boat (you can install 2 pairs of KY-03 on one car roof). KY-06 is designed to carry 2 kayaks with one pair of racks. However, it can also be adjusted to fit one kayak or fold down the center handle to accommodate larger boats or stand-up paddle boats.

Can someone that is using these tell me if they whistle when driving when they are folded down?

There are 4 gaskets included in the box. You can use them to minimize vibration and noise when the racks are folded down.

Does this rack lock onto the vehicle to prevent theft?

No, this rack does not lock onto the vehicle to prevent theft.
