Non-marking rubber padding cups the hull and stainless steel hardware handles the fittings, with all mounting hardware included in the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hull resting straight on a bare roof bar puts all its weight on a narrow strip of gel-coat, which is exactly where dents and scratches start. These wedges spread that load across a shaped rubber pad instead of one pressure point, and their angled profile helps hold the boat steady against wind buffeting at speed, so it arrives the way it left home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWedge-shaped rubber cradles\u003c\/strong\u003e – the shaped pad cups the hull instead of resting it on a flat bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-marking, UV-stable rubber padding\u003c\/strong\u003e – keeps the boat's finish free of scuffs and resists sun exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e – the fittings are built to handle salt spray on trips to the coast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounts into the T-track slot\u003c\/strong\u003e – fixes directly to a Holdfast load bar or wingbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjusts for hull width\u003c\/strong\u003e – the wedges take different hull widths without swapping parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied as a set of 4 with hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e – everything needed to bolt the cradles on is included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKayak, canoe and surfski owners\u003c\/strong\u003e who load their boat on a Holdfast roof rack for regular trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaddlers heading to the coast\u003c\/strong\u003e since the stainless hardware and UV-stable rubber are built to handle salt spray and sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone upgrading from bare roof bars\u003c\/strong\u003e because the shaped cradle spreads the hull's weight instead of resting it on one point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur team can help you check hull fit against your load bars anywhere in \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 620460\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadding:\u003c\/strong\u003e UV-stable, non-marking rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsists of:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 4 wedges with installation hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 4 wedges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional Fitment \/ Upgrade Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wedge set bolts onto specific rack bars, so check these before ordering:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt fixes into the T-track slot found on Holdfast load bars and wingbars — check that your rack has this slot before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCam straps to tie the hull down are sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wedges adjust for different hull widths, but ask us to confirm fit for your specific kayak, canoe or surfski.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd cam straps from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003eroof rack accessories\u003c\/a\u003e range to tie the hull down, or start with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/roof-racks\"\u003eroof rack\u003c\/a\u003e if you don't have one yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the set include?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFour wedges with all the installation hardware needed to bolt them onto your rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich racks does it fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt fixes into the T-track slot on a Holdfast load bar or wingbar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need straps as well?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
