COR Surf Aero Roof Rack Pads and Premium Scratch-Resistant Cam Buckle Tie Down Straps with Protective Silicone Combo for Surf, SUP, Canoe and Kayak Rack Universal

Facile à installer!

I have the older, rectangular Thule bars and although these pads fit nicely, because of the narrower diameter of my bars there wasn't a wide enough strip of velcro on these pads truly secure them to my bars - I'd say about 30% of the velcro was able to adhere.I secured the ends with tie wraps to make sure they stay on straight. This brings me to my second "gripe". Make sure you secure them in such a way that the pads don't "rotate" around the bar. In my case I had two boards loaded and as I cinched down the straps I watched the bar pads get compressed and then rotated down so they were no longer between the board and the bar. I took the boards off and worked to secure the pads in place better and then it was all good - pad between board and bar.Put a couple turns in your straps so they're not "flat" against the board or boards before cinching down and you'll all but eliminate any wind noise issues.

I took a bit to review these as I waited for a long trip to the beach (4 hrs) and use over several days to see how they worked in reality. Bottom line is they worked great and I would recommend them if you are considering purchasing some pads and straps. Like a few others that gave reviews, I didn't initially receive the straps - only the pads. I sent COR a message and they quickly responded that they've had issues with Amazon fulfillment leaving out the straps but they sent me a set very quickly - no concerns from my end as this isn't COR's fault. I really like that the latches on the straps are covered with rubber to avoid scratching the car. Once you've learned how to properly secure the boards (I had 2 x 8' long boards), you can easily strap down and be on your way in less than 1 min. I did notice that putting a half twist on the strap and knotting up any excess strap kept the roof noise to a minimum. I would definitely recommend buying these pads/straps as it doesn't get any easier and I never worried about them coming undone on my long drive down to the coast and back.

Its good quality and fits Tesla Model 3 roof rack. I used it for over a month not every weekend and the best part it very sleek looking (I don't remove it at all after use) and straps come with rubber protection over metal locks which is very important when dropping over surfboard. Driving over 70 mph is not problem at all with and without a surfboard. This is a YES from me.

I purchases brightline aero racks on amazon, the Dakine pads were so fat they flew off in the car wash. The top of these pads are the exact fit but the bottoms are a bit too long so the velcro doesn’t stay attached. Only a minor improvement over the super sized DaKine pads.
