It seems that rails can be mounted on the roof of a 2017 Volt with a maximum of only 24 inches between the front and the rear rail. Yakima and REI tell me that a greater distance between the rails is needed to safely transport a kayak at highway speed. Otherwise the air and wind pressure could dislodge the kayak even if it's strapped on the sides, the bow, and the stern. I can see that the Volt isn't optimal for kayaks, but I was wondering if anyone has nonetheless tried transporting a kayak on a Volt for long distances on the freeway. If so, what happened?
Thanks.
