Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was not sure which type of rooftop carrier to purchase to transport my new kayak. I was expecially concerned because I am 5'4" and have to lift a kayak to the top of a RAV4. The carrier was easy to install on my factory installed mount and my boat slides on and off with ease. (I do carry a small step stool to make it easier to tie-down the boat.) This product comes with quick draw bow and stern tie downs so you do not need to order a separate set unless you want to have a spare. (note: In putting together the rack - the directions indicated using the longest set of screws/bolts - but the shorter ones were much better for my vehicle.) This was a great purchase for me - easy to install and easy to use.

Two Saddle Types Combine for Ease of Loading and Stability
The Thule 883 Glide and Set Rooftop Saddle Kayak Carrier is the perfect combination of Thule's Hydro Glide and Set-to-go Saddles in one package. The Glide and Set is a complete carrier option that includes everything needed to utilize your existing roof rack to transport a kayak safely and securely. First, once positioned for the approximate width of your boat and mounted on the rear load bar of your roof rack, Thule Hydro Glide saddles utilize their low-friction, felt interior surface to allow for easy movement of kayaks pushed across them from the back towards the front of vehicle racks. Hydro Glide saddles feature a large surface area with six times more contact area than roller-type carriers. Next, the included Set-to-go saddles are installed along the front load bar of your roof rack. Adjustable for maximum hull contact, once kayaks come in contact with them they provide maximum kayak protection against lateral movement and overall transport stability.
The ease of allowed movement of the Hydro Glide saddles and the holding power of the Set-to-go saddles equate to easy loading and unloading and stability you can count on.View larger.
