Does the foam block have a bottome slit so they can wrap around the cross bars on a roof rack? What are the dimensions of the foam blocks?

No, it does not have a slit to fit on a roof rack. It does have a slit to accommodate string to hold the pads on while loading, but they wouldn't fit on a rack. The blocks are roughly about 18 inches long and 5 inches wide.

The foam blocks have a side slit, no bottom slit. The side slit is for running the strap through to hold the block in place.
1687510
Yes. Both blocks have a slit on the side near the bottom that the strap goes into. The blocks measure:15 3/4"L x 3" W x 4" H.

Our rack came with long Velcro strips. We cut these down to a usable size and we wrap them around the tires or bike frame to the rack's uprights. I've been very happy with how solid the rack is and have no problem with sway or rattle.

The description is incorrect. There are TWO foam blocks with two straps & two ropes - just as shown in the photo. You don't need more than the two foam blocks. Also, they don't "snap onto the gunwales" - the boat simply rests on top of them. They have a shallow V-shape t fit the hull of a basic kayak. I have a dual-hull kayak and it works fine for that too. The rack works completely with friction and the tight straps. I'm very happy with mine. Just remember to twist the straps or they make a deafening hum while you're driving.

The roof racks fit my X-bar that is oval and flat. It should fit round rails or really any shape. I tighten the racks to the x-bar using channel locks just to be sure and drove over 600 miles, checking the straps once. All worked great.

Yes Sean we have rectangular Thule load bars and THEY WILL fit just center the oval-like opening over them and tighten them down well with your hand. I carry two kayaks one 8'6" and one 10'4" and they come with tons of straps and tie downs A very good purchase in my opinion but MUST have cross bars wont attach to factory roof racks for that buy J Cradles. BUT if you have load bars9Cross Bars) these are the best option for two kayaks, but if you only have one kayak i suggest ONE j cradle cheaper by 20-25 dollars, These are excellent however for 2 Kayaks and even highway and long trips So many tie downs and straps

Fits crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide square or rectangle. Fits crossbars 1-1/2" at least in diameter for round or oval. Crossbars run from the driver side of the vehicle to the passenger side. Racks will not fit on bars that run from the front of the vehicle to the back of the vehicle. Come with 2 different sets of bottom mounting plates one curved and one straight (flat), depending on your need.

Our Ford Expedition has oval shaped 2 1/2 inch wide cross bars which are also oval. Works well with our rack.

It is adjustable for widths. I suggest you measure how wide your current roof rack is and see if it is less than the width of these cross bars. If the cross bars are wider than your roof rack, it will fit as it is adjustable.

This picture isn't what I purchased. The one I have is an elongated octagon which does not fit in most of the pans I purchased (which included their own rectangular racks). Got out my tape measure and it looks like my octagonal rack is 3/8 inch from top to bottom. BTW I purchased this rack to use upside down when making toast; it allows me to slide the toast in and out of the toaster oven. I also use it for small frozen pizza.

Hi George, this product is designed for vehicles with a naked roof only. To find a crossbar solution for your vehicle, please visit the Thule buyers guide to see all the options we have available. Thanks!

Adjusts to 60" width, should fit any car roof that does not have any luggage rack already attached

The bars are 2 and 5/8 inches wide. The height of bars themselves is a little less than 1 inch. When attached, top of bar is 3 inches above roof.

This rack will attach to any square cross bars (standard - 1 inch by inch or less). I had to buy the adapter kit because I have aerocross bars from Thule that are oblong.

You might check their website. I had cross bars on my roof rack and they mounted no problem.

the bars span the full width of the distance between the roof rails - I am away from the X3 right now to provide any more details.

do you have a cross bar roof rack i.e. side to side and not the standard rack on it. If so then yes, you can adjust the length of the clamps on the bottom of the bike rack.

Sorry I have no idea - WHAT I can say is though - If you buy them new (like I did) they come with all the bit's needed to fit to ANY shape roof cross bars. You must have the over hang though. look at the various youtube guides to find out the length of over hang. Good Luck
