Zone Tech Soft Roof Rack Pads Heavy Duty

I bought these pads for transporting my boats. I used to use foam blocks but i like these much better. I find them more convenient to use. The soft material is gentle on both the roof of my car and also my equipment. I didn’t use the straps that come with the pads because I had my own already that I’m familiar with. The pads work well for both canoes and kayaks that I know of and they also seem like they would work with structured carriers, paddle boards, etc. I’m using these on a vehicle without a crossbar. The bottom of the pad is non-slip to help them stay in place, which is nice. I used have to put rubber padding under my carrier to prevent slipping and it could be a bit noisy. The pads feel dense and well made to hold up to all kinds of weather. They are easy to install and damage free. They’re handy for someone like me who doesn’t have a built in rack.
