I will be using mine for my Kayak so would want it flat, would not be too happy strapping something on my roof to a non flat surface area.

Hi, I know this is a reply to a very old Post but I've got the roof rack off my old Vitara - looking to sell it and offers as I unfortunately haven't got my lovely, old gal anymore.

(apologies for upside down photos, can't see a way here to make them upright.)
