Product Information

Full details

The Gul Aero Roof Rack Pads are designed for watersports enthusiasts who need a reliable, protective solution for transporting surfboards, SUPs, and kayaks on vehicles equipped with aero-style roof bars. These pads provide a thick cushioning layer that shields both your expensive gear from pressure dents and your vehicle's paintwork from scratches, ensuring a stable transit. While they offer excellent protection and quick installation, it is important to note they are specifically engineered for aero-style bars with a 14-20cm circumference, making them incompatible with square or heavy-duty industrial roof racks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will these fit square roof bars?

No, these pads are specifically designed for aero-style roof bars with a circumference of 14-20cm.

Can I leave these on my car permanently?

While durable, constant UV exposure can degrade the Velcro and fabric; removing them when not in use will prolong their lifespan.

How many pads are included?

This product comes as a pair, suitable for one set of front and rear roof bars.

Are these suitable for kayaks?

Yes, they provide excellent cushioning for kayaks, surfboards, and SUPs to prevent hull or rail damage.

How do I clean the pads?

Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the Nylon fabric.

Troubleshooting

Pads sliding or rotating on the roof bars

Ensure the roof bar surface is clean before application and pull the Velcro flaps as tight as possible to increase friction.

Excessive whistling noise while driving

Rotate the pad so the Velcro seam faces downward or towards the front, ensuring the padding is pulled taut to eliminate gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects equipment from scratches and pressure damage
  • Easy installation via Velcro fasteners
  • Durable, weather-resistant 600D Nylon material
  • Specifically shaped for aerodynamic roof bars
  • Lightweight yet effective padding

Cons

  • Not compatible with standard square roof bars
  • Limited to aero-bars between 14-20cm circumference
  • Requires proper tensioning to prevent shifting at high speeds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply open the Velcro seam and wrap the pad around your aero roof bar, ensuring the cushioning is centered. Press the Velcro firmly to close, verifying that the pad does not rotate around the bar. These pads are compatible with aero-bars measuring between 14cm and 20cm in circumference. Regarding care, because the 600D Nylon is water-resistant, you can clean them by wiping down with a damp cloth or mild soap if they become muddy after a trip to the coast. It is recommended to remove the pads from your vehicle when not in use for extended periods to prevent the Velcro from prematurely wearing out due to constant sun exposure.
