These seem to be a good quality, but, they didn't fit my factory crossbars. I have a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica. The crossbars are wider than the attachment. Therefore, I cant recommend this item. I'm waiting to talk to uhaul to see if they will take them back. They say online that they wont take back an opened box. I had to open the box to find out they dont fit. The website states "universal fit." Not true. I hope u haul will make this right.

I ordered 2 rack sets (for two kayaks). Only one came. The shipping order from the factory only showed one sent. Somewhere in the process the order was not completely filled. I had to call three times to track down the missing second set. Finally received it a week later than initially promised. Customer service was great. I think the problem was with the warehouse order department.

will this work on a Honda Odyssey 2012?

–Yael 5/29/2020 7:20:51 PM

Hello, Yael! This kayak rack is universal and fits round, square, arrow, oval, and factory-installed crossbars. If your vehicle is equipped with any of those varieties of crossbars, it will work. I hope that is helpful!

Will this work on a Nissan Rogue Sport 2017?

–Gill 6/9/2018 6:20:47 AM

Hi, Gill! The Contour roof-mounted kayak rack requires round, square, arrow, oval, or factory-installed crossbars. If your Nissan Rogue is equipped with the proper crossbars, you will be able to use this kayak rack. I hope that is helpful!

–Savannah 6/12/2018 7:46:39 AM

What do I need to haul 2 kayaks if I have no cross bars on car? Thanks

–Jean 5/28/2018 7:34:06 PM

Hey, Jean! Kayaks can be transported either with a trailer or a roof rack system. For more information on vehicle-specific roof rack systems or your trailer options, please visit your local U-Haul Hitch Center. Happy kayaking!

I have two kayaks, a 10' and 12'. Would these racks work for one, or even two kayaks on top of a Honda Civic?

–Lauren 6/3/2015 10:53:11 PM

The 65148 kayak rack fits to vehicles equipped with factory roof rack systems.

A U-Haul hitch system and a light weight kayak trailer, would be a better solution for your vehicle and kayak combination. U-Haul also rents affordable trucks one way or locally that make moving easier!

Will this work on a Chryslr Town and Country Van? Is it the same as model number 65148?

–Martin 6/30/2014 8:37:25 AM

"65148 is a universal roof mount kayak carrier that fits round, square and oval factory installed crossbars. The load bars must be at a minimum of 24" apart and the kayak must be center on the carriers. Do not exceed the factory recommended load on the crossbars. Make sure the straps do not cover the cockpit area as it is not strong enough and damage can occur. Always use the Bow and Stern lines and check regularly. This rack is designed for Sea Kayaks and White Water Kayaks. It is not designed for aluminum boats." et
