Just traded in my 2009 small SUV for a 2015.
now dealing the rear spoiler and power lift gate hitting the kayak.
any good solutions for this?
Duck and/or stop the power lift gate before it hits kayak…and duck under. I load the back then put the boat on top. Then at put in reverse process. Boat off then stuff out.
My Kia Sorento does not have a power lift so no problem other than when I raise the hatch, the rear wiper strikes the kayak so I have to be careful lifting the hatch.
Shawna just bought a Lexus with power hatch so this is something to consider when I put gull wings on her car for her kayaks.
Thanks for the warning.
Empty out /load and take boat off/on in sequence that avoids it, only sure thing. Have thus far stuck with manual lift gates.
I’ve pondered that for my station wagon. I really dislike the reduced access to the hatch when boats are loaded.
Right side up kayaks are the least impedance.
Upside down canoes and upside down kayaks offer the most.
I haven’t found a solution that satisfies me.
…or I tow the trailer.

Which trailer and where do I store it and how do I pay for it?
Store at neighbours after you rob a bank.
