The multi rack adapter clamps to your crossbars with a small footprint and gives the Telos XL a place to attach. You then ratchet the kayak up vertically into your existing J-style carrier. Both pieces detach for use on the other side of the vehicle or for storage in the trunk.

Good to know

- Measure your crossbars: the adapter fits bars up to 3.75 in wide and 1.5 in tall.
KayakDIY take: Keeping the carriers you have and adding a lift is a sensible upgrade. For more transport gear, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
