yes just make sure to strap the front and back snug and the center strap tight under the doors.

If you have a roof rack you should be ok. When you strap the kayak down these buffers really compress, so the front and back of the kayak might bang on the front and back of the roof while driving if you don't have a rack, especially over bumps. In any case, you will need more straps than the ones that come with this setup.

I can not see why they won't work. I have two sets that I use for my racks on my pick up. They come with lots of straps.

Hi Laura. I bought two sets of these about 2 months ago to mount on my 2008 Jeep Patriot. I have (2) 10 ft kayaks. Once mounted they almost touch in the middle. So if u have a car or a small Suv I would say a third set probably would not fit. However if you have a larger vehicle it may work.

These board/kayak holders work great. They do not include the racks that attach to your car. I got a set from Sport rack(Thule) that go from the drivers side to the passengers side on my Nissan Altima. They are an additional expense but make tying down the board quicker and much more secure.

I attached my kayak carriers onto it with no problem. They are not Honda racks. I don't know if this helps you or not. They are simply 2 bars that go across the top of the car.

They will hold your kayak fine if they mount well to the cross bars of your roof rack. The brackets are curved so the cross bars have to be at least an inch thick.

Probably - I use this to transport my 14' sea kayak. The strap that secures your kayak to the wheels is adjustable, so you can make sure it's tight and will hold. You just want to make sure there's a pull strap on the other end of your kayak.

I'm not 100% sure. They can be moved on the cross member, but I think the width of your kayak would be the determining factor.

Hi Megh, Unfortunately this carrier accommodates kayaks up to 34" wide and 75lbs. Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

I don't know for sure, but your cars roof bars probably has a limit less than these are rated for. I carry kayaks and snowboards on mine. Works great for that, hope that helps.

We have a Subaru Outback which has both horizontal and vertical racks so this was no problem for us. So if you car does not have either or both of these racks, then yes, you will have to have them installed for this kayak carrier. BTW, this carrier is an excellent product which my husband had no problem putting together and installing on our racks. We have used it several times since purchasing it last summer (2013) and are very happy with its quality.

Honestly, I haven't used mine yet. But I would say that if the 2 kayaks can fit in the width of the bed you should be fine. It should be strong enough as the weight will be mostly distributed over the truck bed anyway. The trickiest thing will be to secure the kayaks in such a way that they don't bounce around or rub against each other. Maybe a sheet of soft foam like stuff used for cushions or mattresses in between the two? Good luck, hope this helps. this will be cheaper than a Thule carrier, for sure.

Should be more than adequate. I have a hobie outback that is little over 12' and if any problem it is too big. It is not really moisture proof but keeps dirt and debris off. Moisture obviously not an issue for a kayak.

If you have cross rails, yes. they bolt to existing rails. I've used them on my Titan, Ody, Rogue, and trailer. We hauled our 4 kayaks to Florida on our Ody with no problem, except it does effect gas mileage.

Yes. In the picture they don't look that big, but they are. I loaded a tandem kayak with a width of about three feet and it carried it just fine. As for your Acura, the racks will sit high, but it should carry the weight. I mounted mine on a set of Malone square tubing cross bars.

I would think so, we have a 2002 and haul a larger kayak so one is the limit but if they are smaller it should work fine. Just make sure to check the weight limit on the cross bars. The glide and set is a great system.

I wouldn't put anything that requires stability. When I carried my kayak on it, it wouldn't really work well without a strap from the front and the rear of the kayak. A cargo carrier seems like a dangerous proposition with this carrier and I would highly advise against it.This is mostly designed to keep a solid object from damaging your car, not truly securing something.

It would protect your car from the kayak damaging it...but I don't think the straps would fit all the way around the kayak so you'd need to use additional straps. Also, I think you'd want to tie the kayak to the front and back of the car anyways for better stability. I've transported two kayaks and use these with additional tie downs.
