Short Product Summary
The Holdfast Roof Rack Support bolts onto an existing towbar mount plate and gives long, bulky loads a rear carrying point once they overhang the back of the vehicle. It's meant to work alongside a roof rack for kayaks, canoes, surfboards, ladders and building materials that run past the roofline. Height is adjustable to line up with the load on your roof rack.
Why This Product
A roof rack alone often isn't enough once a kayak, ladder or length of timber runs well past the back of the vehicle, leaving the overhang unsupported and bouncing on rough roads. Mounting a rear support off the towbar gives that overhang its own carrying point, so the load is held level between the roof and the rear instead of just hanging off the back.
Key Features
- Towbar mount plate fitting – bolts onto the mount plate already on your towbar rather than the towbar itself
- Adjustable height – set it to line up level with the load resting on your roof rack
- 1.17m wide crossbar – gives a wide, stable support point for kayaks, canoes and boards
- 50kg weight capacity – carries heavier loads such as timber lengths or a loaded kayak setup
- Heavy-duty build – made to keep holding a rear load over rough, demanding roads
Ideal For
- Kayak and canoe owners who need extra support at the rear once the hull overhangs the roof rack, working alongside a Holdfast Kayak Cradle up front.
- Surfers and paddleboarders carrying a board or two that runs past the back of the vehicle.
- Anyone hauling ladders or building materials since the wide crossbar spreads long lengths of timber or ladders across a stable rear point.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes
This support extends off your towbar, so check these points before ordering:
- You need an existing towbar mount plate to bolt this onto — it isn't a standalone towbar fitting.
- Set the adjustable height so the 1.17m crossbar sits level with whatever is resting on your roof rack.
- Keep the combined rear load within the 50kg weight capacity.

Pair it with the full roof rack range up front, or see accessories for the tie-down straps to finish securing your load.
