: These rack extensions are great for improving the kayak to rack
: connection but they do nothing to improve the rack to car
: connection. Be sure to always use the inverted V bow and stern
: tie-down lines to keep a side gust of wind (or a truck passing
: in the opposite direction) from twisting the rack off the car.

Thanks. Do you have any experience with this type of failure ?

Here's some additional suggestions I read regarding setup and tie-down using a sling / rack extension.

How do those compare to V racks?
