I've use this rack before. Great and very portable. The downside is you have to be careful of the pressure you put on it when tying down. Mine eventually had a small air leak. I would stay away from these and go with a solid setup since on the way to the water it's good to go then at the end of the day it doesn't hold air your roof will get damaged.

Buying a Smart car in the first place wasn't SMART!

I use a kayak mount kit from Walmart on my soft top convertible.
But then my kayak is a mini-x...

You'll be fine.
I roof-top my Marauder on my 240SX and our Pelican 130T on my wife's Beetle. Make sure it is secure, with no slack in the lines, and make sure you have a bow and a stern line to keep it from sliding laterally. ![]() ![]() |

What you probably saw was a Smart car stuck in the fins of a PA.

You should be fine with an inflatable or the Crack of dawn roof rack but if you're interested in checking out how a roof rack + kayak looks on a mustang, i attached a link for you.
http://www.carrackadvice.com/yakima-...-carry-kayaks/ In my opinion, a fairing is not needed. I found this on CL, http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst...687574710.html |
