      Likes: Ease of installation
      Improvements: It worked fine as it is, however everything has room for improvement. I'm concerned about the longevity of the base on these mounts.
      Happy with performance

      Simply stated, the product carried and held my canoe solidly without any wobbling or wind effects. Very pleased with the product.

      Plastic deforms over time

      We use four pairs of Deckhands to secure our two lake kayaks on top of our pickup truck. The kayaks are mounted year round as we RV full-time. After two years, we've noted the plastic has begun to deform. Additionally, despite our best efforts, the kayaks tend to twist in the saddles thereby not laying flat. We're now shopping for another way to ensure the kayaks remain firmly in place.

      Felt Failure

      Great product but felt pass don't stay on. I have had mine for a couple of months and the adhesive on the felt pass doesn't stick anymore. Need to upgrade the adhesive.
