Together these three elements allow for easy roof rack loading and unloading of kayaks from the rear of your vehicle, with the rear roller allowing for even further stability that is often needed when actions are performed by a single person.

Thule's Glide and Set Carrier Plus and Easy-loading Roller
The Thule 884 Roll Model Kayak Roof Rack Mount Carrier makes loading and unloading kayaks easy by combining the saddle elements of Thule's Glide and Set Rooftop Saddle Kayak Carrier with an easy-loading rear roller attachment. Thule's Glide and Set Rooftop Saddle Kayak Carrier is a combination of Thule's Hydro Glide and Set-to-go Saddles, which utilize your existing roof rack to create a kayak rack to transport your boat safely and securely. The 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 protection against lateral movement and overall transport stability. In the Glide and Set system Thule Hydro Glide saddles are mounted on the corresponding rear load bar of your rack. Unlike the Set-to-go saddles, Hydro Glide saddles utilize their low-friction, felt interior surface to allow for maximum movement of kayaks pushed across them from the back towards the front of vehicle racks where the Set-to-go saddles will hold the kayak firmly in place. But since kayaks can be heavy and awkward, especially if being loaded by a single person, Thule has added a very helpful roller attachment for its 884 Roll Model Kayak Roof Rack Mount Carrier. This roller extends behind the rear mounted Hydro Glide saddles, centering and guiding kayaks onto the two sets of saddles and distributing weight with a smooth, gliding motioning for easier loading.
Rear oriented roller integrated with the Hydro Glide saddles extends away from vehicle and centers kayaks for even easier loading.

The Thule 884 Roll Model Kayak Roof Rack Mount Carrier also includes all the necessary straps to secure kayaks to the saddles, and bow and stern tiedowns with ratcheting hooks attachments to further secure mounted kayaks to your bumper or tow hook by way of your kayak's grab handles. Simply pull the free end of the tiedown ropes to the desired tightness. Due to the mounting configuration of the rear roller attachment, the Thule 884 Roll Model Kayak Roof Rack Mount Carrier fits Thule square bar rack systems only.

About Thule
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
All the benefits of our proven Glide and Set™ saddles, plus the easy-loading roller from Roller Coaster™. Two great things that go great together!
