Fits my Ford focus perfect

I never write reviews but as I was going to purchase my second handirack, I thought I should show some love for the product that has gotten me and my kayak out on the water so much over the past year and a half I’ve had it.I’ve lugged around my 80# hobie kayak all over and it never budges. I throw the rack and my kayak on my Honda civic and my Mazda 6 and it fits perfectly. Super easy to put together and put away. I recently did a 4 hour drive with rough roads and bumps and twists and turns and my kayak didn’t budge. I’m honestly really impressed.Two things to note but I wouldn’t even consider them cons:1. Rain will get into your car because it travels down the straps that secure the rack to the top of your car. But I can’t see how handirack could design it any differently - it’s just the price you have to pay for having a easy to install strap based roof rack.2. The ropes they give you to strap the front and back end of the kayak weren’t my personal choice because you have to hand tie them down. So I just got some kayak straps that have a mechanism that is easy to pull and tighten.But yes, overall I’m super impressed and grateful for this product. I love kayaking and bought the expensive kayak, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money on also figuring out a vehicle with a roof rack situation. And this handirack was the way for me to avoid doing that.I’m buying a second one only because I want to have a back up in my trunk always just in case I leave my handirack at home and I need to haul something when I’m out and about.Super reccomend

I’m using these on a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L.We rarely need to carry anything on the roof and I didn’t want to spend the money on Thule racks, nor have to bother with storing rigid racks when not in use.These fit the bill:Pretty easy to install: we placed towels under them to protect the finish on the roof, strapped them on, and inflated them with the small pump that came with them.However, the pump WAS a little hard to use and a little weird: unlike most air pumps, it blew out on BOTH the upstroke and the downstroke. It made filling the rack faster, but was a surprise.Removal was easy, too.They roll up very compactly for storage in a small, included bag, which holds the pump and tie-downs.WHY FOUR STARS INSTEAD OF FIVE:I had to return this TWICE before I got one that worked:-The first one arrived and the air pump didn’t work at all.-The second one arrived and one of the air bladders on one of the racks wouldn’t hold air.This is a great ideas, but the company needs to pay some attention toQuality Control. Not sure most customers would have put up with so many defective products before giving up.

I recently had to get a roof rack for my vehicle to transport my stand up paddle board. I started looking into hard mounted racks, but was scared off by the price. I'm only going to be transporting the SUP a couple of times a month, so I wanted to go with an option that was a bit less expensive if I could find one that would work.I did a LOT of searching, and I ended up finding some posts on a message board about the HandiRack, and what sold me was a surf shop owner in California mentioned that he won't let an SUP go on a roof without a HandiRack.I ordered one and it came very quickly, like all products from Amazon do. I took it out and test fitted it on the car and found that it went on easily. The included instructions were well written and easy to understand. The rack got on and seemed pretty planted, so I took it all down and waited for the first nice day I had a chance to SUP here in Michigan.I've since used the rack a couple of times, and so far have been EXTREMELY impressed with it. It took me a few times to get the feel of WHERE I should mount the board on the rack, but that's because I'm new to this and it really has nothing to do with the rack itself.The rack holds the board without letting it slip, is quiet, and is easy to set up and take apart in just a few minutes. I've had absolutely zero issues with the rack at all. I like how small it rolls up to stow in the trunk.I will make one note. I am NOT using the straps that came with the rack. I had already purchased some very heavy duty straps from Dakine to use on my old car that HAD a hard roof rack installed already. So those straps were still laying around, and I am using those to hold the board to the rack. I am, however, using the straps that came with the rack to use to hold the board from the front. Basically, I looped them around a tow hook on the front of the car and then around the leash mount on the board to help with any backwards sliding.Overall, I'm really impressed with the rack. For the price, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything better.
