Thule 883 Glide & Set Rooftop Kayak Carrier Review

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.

Product Description:
The Thule 883 Glide and Set Rooftop Saddle Kayak Carrier is the perfect combination of the Hydro Glide and Set-to-go Saddles in one package. The Glide and Set is a complete carrier that includes everything needed to transport a kayak safely and securely.
The Thule Hydro Glide saddles utilize low-friction, felt-lined saddles to achieve smooth loading characteristics, while the Set-to-go saddles provide maximum kayak protection and transport stability with their soft, adjustable saddles. Both sets of saddles easily fit Thule standard and Xsporter load bars, as well as Yakima, and most factory-installed racks. The Hydro Glides feature large surface area saddles, with six times more contact area than roller-type carriers, while the proven universal hardware makes the entire system easy to transfer from vehicle to vehicle. A complete carrier for one boat, the Glide and Set installs in just minutes, and includes two Hydro Glide and two Set-to-go saddles, all the necessary mounting hardware, and heavy-duty straps.
