True that no Yakima Rack made for 2005 ford freestyle roof rack to carry kayaks

[queenB52]

Someone told me I won't be able use a yakima rack to haul two 9 foot kayaks on my 2005 Ford Freestyle roof rack siderails because the design of the side rails makes them incompatible. Aargh if this is true I'm up the creek with no paddle...is there any other car rack company that'll work with these Ford Freestyle side rails?

You were given incorrect advice queenb52. Yakima racks does indeed make a rack system that is compatible with your 2005 Ford Freestyle roof rack side rails. It's called the Yakima Lowrider Max roof rack system. Once this is mounted to your siderails you can then attach any Yakima kayak carriers to this multi-purpose base rack's front and rear cross bars. The LowRider MAX system includes four Lowrider MAX towers, four C1 Claws (made specifically for your vehicle) and two cross bars. The Lowrider MAX towers and C1 clamps attach directly to your rooftop siderails. Please note that the 58" crossbars are the required length for your 2005 Ford Freestyle and will also provide enough room for two kayak carriers next to each other.
