If you re tired of just talking about that perfect weekend you ve had planned for months get out there and actually do it with the glide roof rack. A rack of this type can use either a single pair of saddles or two pairs of saddles to hold a kayak. When i let the front end down onto the front racks the kayak stops moving immediately giving me control when i need it.

Like the j type saddles are good for larger boat sizes. The rear carriers allow the kayak to glide forward easily over the front carriers which grip the kayak with their rubber surfaces once the kayak is dropped down onto them. The glide portion of the thule dockglide kayak rack is key. The thule dockglide is a low private profile roof rack system that noticeably displays the kayak while holding it securely in position.

Giving you the freedom to head out for a paddle whenever you feel like it and only on your terms. Thule hydro glide saddles are designed to be used as the two rear oriented saddles of a four saddle roof rack kayak carrier configuration. Thule kayak roof racks give you a choice of smart loading unloading features. The ultimate feature lift assist allows you to load and unload a kayak by yourself with very little effort and without lifting your kayak onto the roof of your car.

Ideally two thule set to go saddles sold separately would be used as the two front oriented saddles of this carrier configuration but existing rubber faced saddles will work as well. Quickly secure the kayak using the center load straps with car protective buckle bumpers and quickdraw bow and stern tie downs. Much smoother than rollers. 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.

Once i get one end of my yak onto the rear glide section it s easy as pie to slide it forward onto the front racks. While cruising down the roads and highways everyone can easily see what you re carrying. After practicing placing the carriers on the crossbars i can now put all 4 of them on or take them off in just a few minutes.
