Can I get 2 sets of these (and 2 average size kayaks) on my Pontiac Vibe (same as Toyota Matrix)?

Measure the width of your Kayaks. That is the number you should use. The base of these racks don't take up much room on your crossbars. It more depends on how long your crossbars are and how wide your yaks measure. BTW, these are super easy to use and are very stable!

You need to measure the width between your roof rack rails where attachment of this carrier can be mounted. Then add up your kayaks width to make sure you have sufficient room. The seawing is pretty wide. I got one on my rack (mounted in the middle) then needed two side mount carriers to get the other two kayaks up on top. Total weight of all kayaks was a concern. Make sure you check with the manufacturer to make sure you don't exceed the roof rack capacity. Like the SeaWing though, Real simple to install and use. A bit of movement (flex in the wing) while driving takes some getting use to. Malone was real nice to deal with.

The kayak sits bottom down on this rack. Not sure how wide the top of you car is. I would think a rack that holds the kayak on its side might work better

I do not think so. The Corolla/Matrix are a crossover with GM with the Pontiac Vibe. Sorry

You get 4, which allows you to adapt one entire system , I had to use two per kayak cradle, 2 cradles per system

Like I said it handled 2 kayaks well. So 100lbs? Don't over tighten and I would recommend the taller ones for the jeep. I found myself wanting more room under.

You would need to buy these base bars and the specific kayak attachments for these bars

Hi Joe - you would definitely need to have aftermarket crossbars installed to accommodate the widths of both of these kayaks on the carrier. You may also need to upsize the bars from what is recommended. Also, please be sure to be attentive to the weight limits of the vehicle, as each of those kayaks are quite heavy.

Probably since it is also a Thule product and the cross rails visually appear to be size that the kayak carrier brackets will fit. Best to call Thule customer service. They are very helpful.

You are referring to Malone's Cross Rail System? Most definitely you can. We carry two Dirigo kayaks, a fairly wide kayak, so any kayak that is within that width or less, will easily fit. Also, our factory cross rail system is only 44" wide, when the Malone Downloader is locked into it's upright position we still have several inches between the two upright hoops and the kayaks do not touch in any way.

I would take the bolts to Home Depot or Lowell's and match them up with longer bolts. The rack is really great and easy to use. Make sure you put the straps on first before you mount the kayaks

They do have different sizes but mine are on a Toyota FJ Cruiser so you shouldn't have any worries.

Two of the mounts will fit, but that's not the issue. It's about the combined width of two kayaks that sit on top of them vs the width of the roof rack.There are other systems specifically designed to mount two kayaks that may be a better way to go about it.

That's exactly what we have for a car and the answer is, how big are your kayak's? If they are small, one person kayak's you may be fine. If you are trying to haul an old town two up with jump seat, no way. That was what I tried to do and almost lost a kayak on the interstate. Regardless, you'll have to buy some heavier straps if you buy these racks. The straps included are close to worthless. If you have small kayak's, 10' or smaller, you may be fine.

I really don't know. Both of the ones we own are for our granddaughter who are 7 and 5. As adults we all have sit in kayaks.

I am sorry but I am not familiar with your kayak so I can't answer that. They are great braces and work well for me.

We have a Nissan Xterra and use two pair of Kayak Wing to carry two Current Designs kayaks, one is 14' the other is 12.5. We had to install Thule cross bars to separate the Wings enough to carry two kayaks. The wings work well for us and are easy to use and install.

The one's I bought came as a pair and fit like a glove and easy to install. I use them for paddle board and Kayak transporting with a Thule attachment.

You get two of these in each box. You will need to order two sets. If you are hauling two kayaks or two boards. Be aware that the profile of the clamps on these "J-bar Racks" are for a crossbar that is more round or square in shape versus flat and oval as are my crossbars on my Rav4. They would clamp real well on a crossbar that was 1-1-1/2 inch round or square.
