FCS Premium DOUBLE SOFT Surfboard Car Racks Reviews
| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:  Straps don't slip if you follow the directions., By This review is from: FCS Premium DOUBLE SOFT Surfboard Car Racks (Misc.) I have owned these straps for over 5 years for dawn patrol surf trips ranging from a 5 minute drive to over 60 minutes on the freeway. This works on any car and can carry multiple 9' longboards side by side. The straps are probably the most misunderstood part of this rack. The straps have a locking D ring which can slip unless you follow the manufacturers directions. Basically, you have to cinch the straps tight (I lean back and use body weight while I stand outside the car). The critical part that most people don't understand is that you then need to loop the strap back into the D ring hole and tie off the end. When done properly, it is more secure than any other soft rack, even the ones with the metal clamps. BOTTOM LINE: Tie off the ends of the strap in the D ring and this rack is great! 10 of 12 people found the following review helpful:  Slipping Straps, By Ryan Ziegler (San Clemente) - See all my reviews This review is from: FCS Premium DOUBLE SOFT Surfboard Car Racks (Misc.) I admit I bought one of these because it came in a good bag. But that was it. First, it took me more than a half hour just to figure out how to tie the straps. The D-rings connectors and instructions were a little confusing. When I finally tightened it on my car and put my boards in it, it just never really tightened down. There's a long bumpy road to my break...and the straps over the boards kept getting loose from the road vibration. Also, the front rack lifted in the wind and the back rack dented the roof of my car. I ended up tossing the rack in the back of my garage...but the bag it came in is great for keeping wax and other stuff. 4 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  Straps slip, By the worm (Santa Barbara, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: FCS Premium DOUBLE SOFT Surfboard Car Racks (Misc.) On our former car (may it rest in peace) the rack worked well. However, on our current vehicle the straps slip, particularly in the front where the boards (in cases) are pushed upwards from the wind. The straps are designed to be cinched and held in place by the door. On our latest trip, I had to pull the straps from the inside to ensure it didn't loosen during transit. How annoying. |
