In regards to some frequently asked questions:

Can you go through the car wash with this on your car? No

Will it mount on the factory installed rack on an Equinox? I don't know. I'm using a Toyota Tacoma with utility racks with crossbars mounted to those.

Does this come as a set as shown in the image? You will receive a set of two. The first set that I received came assembled. The second set that I ordered came disassembled.

Will this fit on a square tube rack, and will it fit the Hobie outback fish kayak? It will fit the square tube rack if you are sent the universal mounting kit. If not, contact support to send you the needed parts.
