So I'm looking to get a roof rack to hold two kayaks. I haven't bought the kayaks yet, but I'm thinking they might be up to 14 feet in length. I've visited a roof rack store and the fellow there was a bit skeptical about using the attachment points in the built-in roof rails of my Premiere Bolt. He says that they're pretty close together in terms of fore-and-aft distance and is suggesting installing a new set of rails just inboard of the factory ones in order to give a longer baseline for the crossbars. I'm willing to do that, but only if it's really necessary.
Is anyone using a kayak rack with crossbar towers that screw into the attachment points on the built-in rails? Any issues with load stability?
