easy to install, very sturdy, no worries of them loosening their grip on the luggage rack or my kayak. Only concern is that the angle the pads face is fixed, if it was maybe slightly adjustable they would be perfect, while they do fit my kayak pretty well I could see where some kayaks would pose a problem and leave plenty of open space against the pads.

Very nice alternative to expensive kayak racks. No issues at all transporting yak 400 miles on interstate.

I’ve used the Thule 881 with tie downs about a half dozen times now and have no complaints. I have the rails mounted on top of my Wrangler, and the 881s on top of that, so my kayak is pretty high. To get it up I set the nose on top of the back of the Jeep top, then grab the rear T handle on my kayak. It’s a simple matter to get it slid into place from there. I’m a little concerned that the rest pads of the 881 will break because I bend them some when mounting like this, but so far they are holding up.
