Question: My canoe is 40" wide at its widest point, and the space between the bars on my Sequoia is only 45". Is it possible to flip the brackets inside out and
Document: Several reviews state that the Malone Big Foot is not wide enough for their vehicles. The Malone Big Foot  does not determine the width, whether (or not) your canoe will fit inside the brackets is determined by the width between your vehicle's roof rails and  the width  of  your canoe,  the SPACING of the brackets is adjustable. At its widest point, my canoe is 36 inches,  and my  vehicle's space between the side rails  is  35 inches.
Bought this product at the same time i bought the cross bars. Everything fit on my 2011 subaru forester great. When i bought my 17ft old towne canoe, i realized the brackets cant go wide enough for the canoe i just bought. Got kind of bummed and worries but i just flipped the brackets so they sit on the inside of the canoe which works just as good.
I bought these because they seemed more versatile than others and I'd be able to loan them to other people with different racks. I would have been disappointed if I hadn't read other reviews about canoes that are very wide. I picked up a used canoe that was wider than the rack when set up as directed. When I turned the brackets around--so they were inside the canoe--they fit with room to spare. The system held the canoe very securely.
We are going on a road trip from CO to Lake of the Ozarks in MO. I wanted a more secure way to haul the canoe 2k miles through Kansas winds. Received the brackets from Amazon yesterday and had them installed and canoe mounted in less than an hour. I have an Acura MDX with factory cross bars.
The measurements were going to be tight, so I flipped a coin and bought the brackets. The description states that the mounts are 5" wide, but the clamp that bolts to the underside of the bracket is 1.5" wide and allows the bracket to hang over the Acura's crossbar mounts and inch or two. This saved my skin. There was very little wiggle room. BUT it works and it looks nice. The canoe is very secure.
This seems like a great product, however I've not been able to use it yet. There are two problems with the compatibility with my 2010 Subaru Outback factory rack.1. With the carrier on, we cannot fit our extra wide canoe2. The carrier brackets do not fit well onto the factory cross barsI will be keeping the carrier though and purchasing the Yakima Landing Pad 12 so that I can put a Yakima rack on my car.
On the front crossbar, I had to attach the carrier attachments to the fatter part of the crossbar where the crossbar is joined to the side rail at the farthest point. It took some maneuvering once the canoe was on the crossbars to get everything aligned, but it worked like a charm. I used the longer bolts and it tightened fine with room to spare.
Works great with the Malone cross bars kit. Helps to keep the canoe stable on the rack. It's really a "piece of mind" and extra security, driving 800 miles, in the rain. Worth the extra cost to stabilize the canoe at 60 MPH.
The Malone big fot pro universal car rack canoe carrier, although well designed, does not work with the 2012 subaru outback wagon, because the subaru cross bars are too short. the maximal cross, usable distance is~31" which is too small for the average canoe.Alex
I've read many complaints about the Subaru factory cross bars. It is a really bad design.
Answer: yes
