Holdfast Soft Rack

Short Product Summary

The Holdfast Soft Rack is a strap-on rack that adds roof-carrying capacity to a car without rails, drilling or permanent hardware. Twin padded bars and included tie-down straps carry boards, SUPs and kayaks, and the whole rack folds flat into the boot between trips.

Why This Product

Not every car comes with roof rails, and fitting a permanent rack for the odd surf trip or family kayak day is more than most people need. This rack straps directly onto the roof in minutes, its padded bars and tie-downs hold the load, and it packs away into the boot once you're done — useful if you swap between vehicles or only need the capacity occasionally.

Key Features

• Straps onto the roof – wraps around a car whose doors close normally over it, with no rails or drilling
• Twin padded bars – a foam core protects paintwork and grips the load
• Heavy-duty tie-down straps included – secure boards, kayaks and SUPs to the bars
• Protective flaps – shield the paintwork where the rack and straps sit
• Folds flat for storage – packs away in the boot between trips

Ideal For

• Hatchback, sedan and small SUV owners without roof rails because this rack straps directly onto the roof instead of clipping onto rails.
• Occasional users who only load up a board or kayak now and then, for a weekend trip or a family day out.
• Drivers who swap between vehicles such as with hire cars, since the rack straps on and off different cars.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

This is a universal soft rack, so check these points before ordering:

• It wraps around most car roofs where the doors shut normally over it — check this before ordering if your car has an unusual roofline.
• For kayaks, pair it with a Kayak Cradle or cam straps for extra front and rear tie-downs.
• It straps on rather than bolting to rails, so it suits cars without factory roof rails as well as those with them.

Complete Your Setup

Add a kayak cradle or cam straps for extra tie-downs, or see the full roof rack range if you want a permanent setup instead.
