Roof rack

I purchased the horizontal bars to attach to the existing vertical bars on my 05 ST and was wondering if there are any concerns using them to carry two kayaks. Together both weigh considerably less then 100lbs.

No, you should be okay.

What are you using to attach the horizontal bars to the existing bars? Where did you get them? Also, dont forget to count the weight of the bars and attachments in the total 100lbs weight capacity. Thanks

I bought the horizontal bars from Amazon and they are aluminum and very light.

If you bought these:

Might be worth your time to spray them down with anti corrosion spray. This is what mine looked like when I tried to remove them.

BTW, they held my 14' fiberglass canoe with no problem.

yuck thanks for the heads up on the rust issue.

They look somewhat similar but not exactly the same but I will defiantly keep this issue in mind and I appreciate you letting me know in advance. I was just wondering how long they had been on your ST before you tried to remove them. I don't plan on keeping them in my Sport Trac all the time.
