PelicanBoats - Universal Canoe Car-Top Roof Carrier Kit- PS0520-3 - Fits Vehicles - Heavy Duty & Safe, One Size, Charcoal/Black

Nice durable foam that should hold up for multiple uses. Straps are cheap, but they get the job done. Also didn't scratch up the roof of my truck, which is always a plus. I used this in northern Maine where they got muddy, rained on, and used in saltwater. No signs of breakdown from the foam.

Why pay extra for a rooftop rack that you hardly use? Once a year we haul the canoe to the lake. This kit works perfectly. The cushions fit the side rails of the canoe and the tie-downs keep it secure on the roof.

I reviewed the instructions but something may have not been clear. The cam strap that goes through the car interior is tough to get tight. The rest of the system worked better but only after I adjusted when a canoe slipped off the roof at 60mph. I lost one of the cushions but other trips have gone well.

Very convenient easy to use easy to store.

I truly bought this "kit", if you can call it that for the foam blocks. As soon as it arrived I inspected the straps and they were exactly what I thought they were, trash. I have seen better straps at the dollar store. The straps are very poorly made and probably have a break strength of 50 lbs. And were they even ratchet straps? NOPE. They were pull tight buckles. If I would have used these, I would have lost the canoe on the first on ramp! I threw them out immediately and used my trusty 2" 1000lb ratchet straps! The foam blocks did their job and once properly tied down, the canoe didn't move 1 centimeter, even at 75 MPH with a 30 MPH cross wind. Took the canoe 100 miles only to find out the lake were gonna go out on was not accessible. Back home another 100 miles we went. Took the canoe off the roof and paint was perfect, canoe unharmed (17 foot Aluminum canoe) and the blocks returned to their original shape after a few minutes in the sun. The blocks did their job and so did my PERSONAL straps. the original straps from this kit are doing their job, sitting in a landfill.In Conclusion, buy this kit for the blocks and ONLY the blocks. Throw those cheap crap straps it comes with out as soon as possible.

Pads fit well and snug. Only complaint is that one strap was fairly short and barely fit around the combined width of canoe and car.

used these to mount a 16 ft canoe on a f150 quad cab with a full roof glass moon roof.With a hitch bar holding the back the canoe sat well on the roof with the foam touching the roof only. The straps worked well even though I used a couple of my own

Originally bought them for my old coleman scanoe but i sold it before i ever got to use them. They don't fit the gunwales of my Lifetime Wastach 130 so I’ve never used them. I plan to use the foam blocks on a pair of saw horses to hold my canoe which I think they will work perfectly for that. 4 stars because the straps seem kind of cheap, other wise good product.
