If you need a complete kayak
rack to get your boat to and from the water this summer, but you
don't want to break the bank, take a look at Thule's
881 Top Deck Kayak Saddles. Thule's Top Deck Saddles work with most
factory installed roof racks, Thule and Yakima roof racks, and the Thule
Xsporter pickup truck rack. They're super easy to install, and
they'll hold just about any kayak up to 75 pounds in weight and up to

cradles' angles are not adjustable, so they aren't recommended for
kayaks with highly curved bottoms or lightweight, easily deformed
hulls. The included load straps, bow/stern tiedown ropes, and
integrated rubber padding on the saddles themselves ensure your kayak
stays in place, whether you're going across town or across country.
Yakima has always had rock-solid options for putting crossbars on your vehicle's factory installed rails. Their LowRider and LowRider Max rack systems fit most vehicles with raised rails and the Locking EZ Rider towers fit most vehicles with flush rails. But now, Yakima has one tower system that works on both types of factory rails, the RailGrab.

You truly get a custom fit for your rack, and if you buy a new vehicle, or you want to swap your rack between two vehicles, you'll still get a great, low-profile rack that fits like a glove regardless of factory rail type or size. Installing Railgrab towers won't take very long. For the front crossbar, first slide two towers onto the bar and install the end caps to keep the towers from sliding off. Then
