Comments about Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carrier:

We have two wilderness kayaks, and have two sets of these. It fits great on my thule rack on our VW Touareg. We recently took a 350 mile trip with 35 mph side winds, and we were driving around 80 mph. The boats were kept solidly on the roof.

Comments about Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carrier:

I have an older rack that has a cover on the pads. The new rack is a rubbery design that grips too much. The rigging catches on the pads, making it difficult to load/unload. I will look to purchase or make better covers.

Comments about Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carrier:

Have used this with a sit-on-top kayak. The straps with clamps, rope and hooks are excellent quality. I have mine attached to a Thule Wisperbar. Not ideal as the bar is almost too wide to accommodate the Hull-a-Port attachment. Probably better with the square crossbars.

The only issue I had, and it was my lack of experience, was the kayak came loose the second time I used it. I didn't have the right angle in the craddle. The boat needs to be leaning more towards the middle of car, not upright as I had done. I also (now) run guy wires from the kayak to the opposite side of the bars. Much better!

I would also strongly recommend the Thule "Outrigger II" load-assist bar if you're going to be loading alone. After a day of paddling, my arms are a bit tired making the lift to the top of the car harder.
