Roof Rack Installation and Loads

[erayyak]

Any experts? I have finally figure out which one I can use on the new car. My question is about installation. Althought it seems quite simple, I have heard horror stories about improper installation and flying kayaks on the intersate.

The other question, it says max load for the Thule system is 110 lbs. I have carried up to the 3 kayaks on my old Yakima system before which was quite similar, nothing special with no problem. And this is when I fished for Malibu before going with Wilderness Systems. And those kayaks are much heavier....so 3 eXtremes easily were 240 lbs total......think I will have any problems with two Tarpons? Probably total weight is 140 or so.

Should be getting them in a few weeks, which means I actually might be abgle to get out and do some fishing! Finally.
