Hello All,
I've done plenty of investigating on this site, but still a bit torn, so I thought I'd ask everyone and see what their experiences were:
I have a 2005 E with a factory roof rack that I put on about a month ago. I will be purchasing a second kayak later this summer, and already own a double ocean kayak (good sized). I'm leaning towards the Thule 835 Hull A Port Kayak rack, but worry for 2 reasons: 1) The factory rack cross bars are only a couple feet apart- will that not allow for a secure kayak while driving? 2) If it is a good sized kayak, should I just get the OEM kayak attachment so it can lay down instead of being at an angle?
Any little anecdotes or advice would help (especially with the thule j-style hull a ports- really leanin towards these but just want to make sure they are dependable for mostly city, but some highway driving). Don't hesitate to share any experiences or suggestions. Thanks!
