Car Soft Roof Rack Luggage Carrier, 2 Rack Pieces with Adjustable and Heavy-Duty Straps

These are great for practical use. I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The package for my Jeep doesn’t have regular crossbars so instead of $400 going to Tule, I bought one set of these. One set works great for 5 snowboards! It also works perfect for 1 kayak! I have two sets now, so 4 Kova pads total (2 in a set) and I can position both now to fit 2 kayaks across my roof. I am in love with these. Cannot reccommend them enough!

This product’s strap ripped the first day I used it. I was tightening it and the sowing was weak and it came right off

Not bad...the padding is good and supportive. The straps are very long, but in a universal product they would have to be. My big dislike was how the padding/straps would not stop vibrating, very annoying and loud with the windows up. I stopped and adjusted everything three times and the vibration would not stop. Otherwise a good item.

Broke after 2 uses. I’m sure I can sew it back on but still. They did the job but kind of a pain

So, this item arrived today and I was quite excited, as this is exactly the type of product I was looking for to avoid scratching my car when putting my canoe or kayak on top of it.I really did t want to spend $500+ on a roof rack and this seemed like an awesome alternative.THE GOOD: the build quality appears to be excellent. Dense, thick foam that seems like it will still add great protection even with a heavy canoe on top of it. The cloth seems very thick and like it won’t rip or tear. The buckles appear to very well attached and they are metal which is a huge plus!THE BAD: this is tiny! It is clearly my fault for not reading the measurements ahead of time, but I’m not sure this would even span the roof of a Mini! I have an Acura TL and this is not even close to spanning my entire roof. Furthermore, it’s not even as wide as my kayak or canoe, thus neither of them would actually be resting on these pads if I even installed them. It looks like I need a minimum of 48” and these are only about 33”. These will work well for a thin kayak or surf/paddle board, but not a wide-base ocean kayak or normal-sized canoe.What really deceived me was the diagram they show if the photos of the pads spanning the roof of what looks to be a Honda Element-type suv. I figured, if it will span the roof of that car, it will definitely span the roof of mine. Clearly, that diagram is absolutely not drawn to scale.Again, the build quality seems great, but the length is way too short and the pictures are deceiving.

I received this product within two days and have used it and it is awesome! I have a Toyota Matrix and do not want to invest in a roof rack when I may upgrade cars in the next year or two. I had been using the foam block type roof rack and it works fine but I love how this type has the easy straps that hold the pads in place so they do not slide around when you put your kayak on and they look pretty cool when on my car.Thank you for the great product at a great price.

I bought this back in March when we bought our kayaks.... I was so excited about a simple set up for my Chevy Spark and this was perfect. We used it to load the 2 kayaks up and take them home one at a time. Today I finally had the chance to go out on my own and set them up for only the 2nd time and the whole strap snapped off the pad! I'm so upset. I can't seem to find any way to contact the company and of course the return time has expired. I would not buy this again.

Used this for carrying my kayak on my golf cart. Works well but would prefer if it had a ridge on the edge or a dip in the middle to proven lateral sliding.
