Hi all just seeking advice on the best soft racks on the market; ie, easy to fit and remove, secure and ones that cause no damage to the roof.

Cheers.

I've used about 5 different brands of soft racks and they've all been practically the same in terms of design and construction. Not sure if there are any drastically different designs on the market? (not something i google)

If you're going to be using them fairly often, you should consider that they may do some damage (compress/cut) your door seals.

I just used a pair of FCS double soft racks in Hawaii and no issue at all. Having said that it was a hire car and i don't think id want to use them on my own vehicle all that much.

I was travelling with an 11' a 8' and two short boards. At about 45mph the long boards bounced a bit but it was really just movement, not really looking at coming loose..

All in all for what i wanted i was stocked with the application..
