Product Information
Full details
The Thule JawGrip is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need a secure, streamlined way to transport paddles, oars, masts, or poles on their vehicle. Its primary benefit is a low-profile, aerodynamic construction that reduces wind noise and drag while keeping your specialized gear firmly in place. While it is highly effective for its intended purpose, users should note it is restricted to T-track aluminum roof bars and has a specific weight and diameter capacity.

FAQs
Can I mount this on square steel bars?
No, the Thule JawGrip is designed specifically for T-track aluminum roof bars.
What is the maximum diameter it can hold?
The carrier can accommodate items with a maximum diameter of 5.5cm.
How many items can I carry at once?
The JawGrip is engineered to hold up to two items simultaneously.
Does it cause wind noise?
Its low-profile, aerodynamic design is specifically engineered to minimize wind drag and associated noise.
What is the weight limit?
The total weight capacity for the carrier is 7kg.
Can this be used to carry fishing rods?
As long as the rods fit within the 5.5cm diameter limit and the total weight is under 7kg, they can be transported securely.
Troubleshooting
Carrier slides inside the T-track
Ensure the mounting hardware is fully tightened and that the T-bolt is correctly engaged with the underside of the aluminum bar slot.
Straps are difficult to tighten
Clear any dirt or debris from the buckle mechanism and ensure the strap is not twisted before threading.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces wind noise compared to bulkier carriers
- Soft rubber padding ensures equipment remains scratch-free
- Streamlined aesthetics blend well with vehicle roof lines
- Simple buckle system for quick loading and unloading
Cons
- Compatible only with T-track aluminum crossbars
- Limited to a maximum 5.5cm diameter for items
- Not suitable for heavy equipment exceeding the 7kg limit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires aluminum load bars equipped with a T-track channel. Simply slide the JawGrip attachment into the track, position it to your desired spacing, and tighten the hardware to secure it to the bar. To ensure longevity, periodically inspect the rubber padding for debris that could scratch your gear, and wipe the straps with a damp cloth after saltwater exposure to prevent salt buildup on the buckle mechanisms. Ensure that the total weight of your two items does not exceed the 7kg limit to maintain structural integrity during transit.
