Features and practical use

• Gliding system: rear felt-lined saddles allow you to pull the kayak away from the back of the vehicle and slide it onto the roof, minimizing the need to lift the weight overhead 

• Hull protection: wide, elastic, padded saddles prevent chafing and distribute point pressure

• Secure mounting: the set includes two mounting straps with QuickDraw buckles for the bow and stern, and two Cam Buckle straps with rubber buckle covers - protecting the vehicle's paint

Testing and durability

• Subjected to rigorous testing at Thule centers (impact, corrosion, UV, extreme conditions) - ensures safety even at high speed and intensive use 

Recommendation: The Thule DockGlide offers a great balance of ease of use, high safety and protection of the transported equipment. An ideal choice for users transporting kayaks and SUPs without needing to lift them to full roof height.
