This is called the "single" rack. Do I need to buy two of these in order for me to have one strap on the front and one on the rear of my car roof?

No just means it will only hold one surfboard wide but it comes with two straps, front and back

No. You just need to buy one. This rack is for the front and back. The double rack would have the same thing but side by side.

Hi. It comes with two. It is called single because only one stack of boards can go on the roof. A double would be two stacks of boards on the car. So sorry single wide what it meanshope that helpsjosh

no you do not need to buy 2 or these. I think the "single" means for one rack.
818963
No. It comes with two "bumpers/straps" one for front of roof and one for back.

I use two. one on each end of the hammock. Some tree straps need one on each end by the tree also.

Yes, like every roof mount ski rack I've ever seen, there are two ski racks, one for the front and one for the back.

When I bought it the roof racks were separate as well as the mounts. the attachments did come with it.

In my car, the straps are behind front passengers heads, and in front of (and above) rear passengers heads. We run them up thru the grab handles and it really is not an issue. My car has no roof rack, and the carrier has never slipped a bit - thru rain or 100+ heat.

You can if the roof rails have space under them (so the strap still is against the car roof). If the strap that anchors to the car has to be over the rails so that the pads are floating I probably wouldn't do it as that would be a lot of force coming up under the boards. Another issue though (even when pads are flat against roof) is the pressure the roof rails put on the boards. It's not an issue if you're only using one of the racks so that you can have the board(s) resting between the rails, but when using both (so boards are side by side) it means that you're going to have the sides of the boards sitting on top of the roof rails which is a lot of focused pressure after being adequately strapped down.

I had to buy two for the front and two for the back. Unfortunately they don't come in pairs

It takes 2 racks per kayak to properly load and secure the kayak on the roof of your vehicle. You mount one rack on each of the 2 cross bars on the top of your SUV. These racks are not designed to mount on the roof of a car.

I'm no expert but I agree with you. This bag should sit flat on your roof and just use the rack to secure it. This does include straps to secure using your doors. I believe they even make a smaller size bag that may fit your vehicle better.

For the SUbaru Imprezza I have, I only needed one. I doubt any car has 2 of these.

Are your cross bars removable? If not, I would call the company and ask their advice. My car did not have cross bars or a roof rack when I used the Sherpak.

Do you have front and rear bars? Basically you should have something to keep this cargo bag in place; otherwise it's going to slide around on your roof and that could have bad consequences. I read in a review where someone ran the straps through the door openings and across the inside roof liner, but I'd be worried about that setup since it doesn't prevent sliding around and shifting. There are bags made to secure to roofs without racks. I'd look for one of those if you don't have anything on your roof.

You have to have something to secure it to. My Honda Odyssey had two roof rails and it was fine

If you have a rack with cross bars you should be fine. You need cross bars ( ones going across roof, not just along roof line front to back ) they clasp onto the bars across the roof.

Its one strap, but there is one that sells in a a 2-pack. This does work well, but be sure that your dead bolt is more of a rectangle shape (the part you turn to lock it) some dead bolts and more curved and the strap just slips off those.

You do not need a rack at all for this. You just strap everything through the car doors, both the front and the back.

Yes - two over the shoulder harnesses, with fasteners to be used as a double, or centered with only one as a single.
