How to transfer roof rack.

In this post i m going to talk about how to transport your kayak without a roof rack system. It should be close to one of the crossbars. Take a cam strap and position the buckle so it is resting on top of the board but near the edge. I will show you some solutions with the step by step process.

Avoid drilling too deep into the roof of the car. Back in 2011 my old car was a nissan rogue standard model which don t have the cross bars or roof rack system. The sections of a modular rack have crossbars which are welded in position to fit a specific model of van this makes them easy to fit but makes it impossible to transfer between vans in most cases. Typically your vehicle roof will be the limiting factor.

Position your sup so it is running parallel with the car and with the widest point of the board between the crossbars of your rack. So it is a big problem for me when it comes to transport my kayak. If you have factory roof racks that run from front to back you can build your own steel crossmembers using one inch square tubing cut to size and secured to the factory racks using carriage bolts. Transporting a kayak without a roof rack isn t the easiest of tasks never mind two.

Ensure that the roof rack is in position and properly adjusted leaving good space at the centre. Between a swb low. Using a flat head screw driver assemble the roof rails to the top of the car by sxrewing the side rails and the cross bars together. Maybe you do not want to install a roof rack to your car or perhaps there isn t a roof rack available that fits on your vehicle.

This can be very dangerous hence should be controlled. For instance if you have a roof mounted cargo box rated at 150 lbs roof rack crossbars rated at 200 lbs and a roof rated at 100 lbs then you cannot load more than 100 lbs.
