Thule 873 Kayak Carrier
The Thule Hydroglide kayak carrier cushions and supports your kayak and allows loading from the rear.
Rear cradles are lined with a marine grade felt to allow the hull to slide for loading from the rear of the vehicle.
Front rubber pads cushion and grip the cradle.
Rear pads pivot to contour to the shape of the hull.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear cradles, a pair of tie down straps with buckle covers and fitting hardware for attaching to 'Euro' 32mm x 20mm crossbars as well as fitting to T-channel cross bars.

What Steve thinks......
Typically good quality Thule product but for the price should come with additional tie downs for the front and rear of the watercraft as required by the instructions.
