I have a 1982 vanagon and would be very interested in how your project for the kayak rack turned out. I would try to fit something to the vanagon.
please email me about your progress. Its a great idea!

Yeah, I decided that it was too risky. If something came apart and the boat came off of the roof I’d be afraid of the liability. I decided that I had more isolation from being the target of a lawsuit if such a thing were to happen and I were using a 3rd party rack that was on the market than one I built. (and you should see how closely people tailgate even a car with a kayak on the roof — I personally never follow anywhere near a car carrying a load).
