Description
Kayak Roof Rack Pads, Kayak Carrier for Car, Surfboard Roof Rack Pads
-
Your car roof stays scratch free: high-density foam and pearl cotton cushion the roof and prevent scratches or dents
-
No roof rack needed: the pads are made for most car rooftops that have no built-in roof rack
-
Your load stays put on long hauls: a built-in non-slip mat and thick shock-absorbing padding reduce movement and vibration
-
Tightens fast, nothing permanent: quick release buckles and drawstrings pull the straps tight with no tools or permanent modifications
-
Weather won't wreck them: a tough Oxford cloth shell handles highway wind, sun and rain without tearing or fading
Loading a kayak, surfboard or canoe onto a car with no roof rack usually means worrying about scratched paint and a load that shifts. These foam pads sit between the roof and your cargo, cushioning both, and the built-in non-slip mat keeps items stable without shifting or sliding on the way.

Two heavy-duty tie down straps for roof rack loads pull the cargo tight, and the pads fold into the included storage bag. As a surfboard rack on a bare roof, the same set keeps a surfboard safe and stable; it carries luggage and other rooftop cargo too. They are a soft carrying surface rather than a rated rack system, so never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's roof load limit, check strap tension before setting off and during the journey, and secure loose strap ends.
