However, some customers encountered challenges during installation, requiring additional tools or time, and a few reported issues with stability and missing parts.
Durability
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the durability of this product. While many are pleased with its sturdiness and strong construction, others have reported issues such as foam tearing, bolts wearing away, and kayaks falling off during transportation at high speeds. Some customers also noted concerns about wind resistance and damage to their vehicles.
Rust Resistance
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the rust resistance of the TMS J-Bar Rack HD Kayak Carrier.

Some customers also mention that the mounts are not suitable for flat racks and the metal is easily bent. Amazon's manufacturer support has been unresponsive to reported issues.
Highlights
Quality
These kayak racks were easy to install and they are very sturdy.
Easy installation on the roof racks of my ford explorer, great support for my 2 ocean kayaks
If you follow their directions those bolts will be unstable and hand tightening won’t even work.
Each brace is missing 4 lock nuts, 8 total.
Price
Very good value as you get two sets.
But these are a great price for what they are and will work great!
A roof rack, but we’ll worth the money!
Shipping
I wrote to tms (the seller) and asked them to send a longer set but they never responded.
