What is Boofsquire?

Boofsquire is the name of a notoriously reclusive yet legendary kayaker. Among other feats, he is credited as being the first kayaker to run the Class 5+ Great Falls at flood-stage, in a deeryak (a hollowed out deer carcass), at midnight, under a moonless sky, using cinder blocks for hand paddles. His PR Agent, some guy named Ted, sold us the rights to use his name in exchange for a case of Redbull and a tie down strap.

Can I still open the rear hatch on the Z with the Boofsquire Roof Rack installed?

Yup, you can use the hatch normally while the rack is installed.

Will the Boofsquire Roof Rack System fit 350Z's and 370Z's with the factory spoiler?

Yes, there is ample clearance for the roof rack on models equipped with the OEM spoiler (note: except the limited edition Nismo models with the dual plane spoiler). If you've stuck some kind of huge 'Fast and the Furious' wing on your car you may have a problem beyond, you know, having a huge wing on your car.

Do you ship out of the USA? Pretty please!

Yes, Boofsquire now ships world-wide! You can place an order right through the online system.

Do you guys make a system for roadsters?

Nope, not that we don’t love y’all. There are some strap-on trunk style units from companies like Yakima that can be used to haul bicycles on roadsters.

How can I protect the paint on my 370Z or 350Z?

To protect your car’s finish the Boofsquire Roof Rack system uses scuff free Tower Pads. However, dust and other debris that get between the pad and car’s paint can damage the finish. Therefore it is essential that the surface is clean and free of debris at all times before, during and after installation.

For extra protection consider purchasing Scotchgard Paint Protection Film from the Accessory Store on this website. The 6 x 12 inch roll of material can be cut into 4 pieces measuring 6 x 3 inches each. Once the final position of the roof rack is determined, stick a piece of film to cover the section of paint where Tower Pads rest.

How much weight will the Boofsquire Roof Rack hold?

The rack is rated to carry a maximum evenly distributed load of 50lbs. That figure has more to do with the limits of the 350Z's and 370Z's hatch than the integrity of the roof rack.

How fast can I drive with the skiis and snowboards on the roofrack?

I dunno, how good you are at talking your way out of speeding tickets? We’ve tested the rack at better than 80mph with two kayaks on the rack. When properly installed, there is no issue with using the roof rack system to transport skis and snowboards at highway speeds.

What can’t I carry with the Boofsquire Roof Rack System?

In general, large flat objects, such as plywood, should not be carried on the Boofsquire Roof Rack system. This type of object tends to trap air while the car is in motion stressing the hatch and the Roof Rack system. Each load is different, so for everyone’s safety use common sense when setting up, installing and using the Boofsquire Roof Rack system.

Why doesn’t anyone else make a roof rack for the Nissan 370Z or 350Z?

We’re not totally certain, the only thing we can figure is that don’t like Z owners. Well, that and we patented this setup.

I just installed the Roof Rack on my Z, how do I stop from shifting?

Tighten all of the Lock Down Straps equally. Shifting is a result of loose or unevenly tightened Lock Down Straps. After installation the Roof Rack will go though a settling period where it will shift around small amounts until the tension on all of the straps has equalized.

I scuffed up the finish on my Roof Rack. How do I fix it?

Don’t worry repairing the finish is easy. The paint on the Roof Rack can be touched up with flat-black outdoor Rust-Oleum spray paint. If the exposed metal shows signs of surface rust sand off the oxidation first, then spray it with flat black Rust-Oleum paint.

Can the Boofsquire Roof Rack be installed on 350Z models with the rear window wiper?

Yes, however the rear window wiper cannot be operated while the Roof Rack is installed.

Is there anyway to prevent the Lock Down Straps from expanding in the rain?

No, all nylon straps will expand slightly when exposed to moisture. It is always important to check the tension of the Lock Down Straps frequently when in use, but it is essential to retighten the Lock Down Straps and other tie down straps when they are exposed to rain. However once a Lock Down Strap has been tightened wet it will tend stay tight through wet/dry cycles until the Roof Rack is removed from the vehicle.

Can you transport surfboards with the Boofsquire Roof Rack System?

In most cases, yes. However, its not a good idea to throw a 14 foot long board up there. The most important thing is to use common sense on case by case basis to keep you, your gear and other drivers safe.

What is LAB802, LLC?

LAB802, LLC is Boofsquire’s parent company. They process our payments, host our web site and provide Boofsquire technical support.

How did you guys come up with the Boofsquire 350Z and 370Z Roof Rack?

It has been said that necessity is the mother of all invention and the Boofsquire Roof Rack system is no different. After buying a 350Z in late 2006 the inventor of the Boofsquire Roof Rack system found out that no one built a Roof Rack for his car. Unwilling to give up his beloved outdoor sports he went to work on the first of many prototypes of the Roof Rack system you see here today.
