Good product. Works as advertised. Easy to adjust. Easy to steal. I wish they were theftproof. This product, combined with the Yakima Bow/Stern tiedowns make for a rock steady setup that holds our 16'4" Kevlar canoe rock solid on my Explorer.

Just a heads up, these will not fit stock Jeep Partiot cross bars, wrong shape. I can not blame Amazon for this as I failed to check with the manufacture prior to purchase. The required cross bars and towers are around $175 to make them fit. No big deal, I went back to the foam blocks until something better and affordable comes along. I gave them four stars because they look like they would work just fine, just not on stock Jeep Patriot racks.

Use Yakima bars with stretch kit on a Camry. These gunwale brackets hold my canoes, both just under 16' without a problem. I drive 100+ miles a day with a canoe on top going 70-80 mph most of the way. No issues at all.
