There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I don't hear any wind noise, but I have it mounted on the bed of my pickup truck. Easy installation.
I ordered the key locks for it.
It holds my 10' kayak securely.
My only suggestion would be for the manufacturer to replace the cheap plastic handles for aluminum.
The plastic feels cheap in comparison to the rest of the product.
Otherwise, I love it.

I find some of the other reviews confusing. If you tighten the red folding lever before you close it I am not sure how it would come open on its own. I can only assume people are taking the rack out of the box and not tightening/turning the lever before folding it down, which would allow it to randomly come open. When you tighten the thing it is tight. The mechanism works similar to bike seat post clamp. I also do not hear a whistle when I am driving with or without kayaks on the car. Maybe I am deaf or they changed something (but I do have the Yakima wind fairing).
The hooks they provide to tie down the front and back of the kayak are pretty useless and clumsy. You really need to get the straps that you close in the trunk and hood lids instead.
I have only used the racks three times so far, so if I encounter any issues I will update here. Also, I would buy better quality and lighter kayaks if I had it to do over again.
It would be nice if the product included pre-installed locks/keys. I had to order those separately and they are not cheap. The silver lining, however, is that I was able to order the same SKS # lock cores and keys (from Yakima) as our bike racks so the keys are interchangeable. So it cost more, but that's a real plus.
I should also mention that someone who actually loads kayaks alone probably designed this rack. The slanted portion of the rack makes for easy loading and helps protect the vehicle and kayak a bit.

Worth the money.
Here's my main complaint and it's a significant one. Yakima is earning extra revenue by selling the locks separately. This, in my opinion is poor customer service! That should be included in the racks! If it was, I'd give it 5 stars. The locks aren't cheap either, and again, it's functionality that should just be part of the racks. Just include them, and increase the price slightly. That said, they come off super easily, so it's not a huge deal, but still, I want to eventually have the ability to lock them so that'll be an extra expense in the future for sure.
