Establish a better attachment point for your bow/stern tie-downs with these hood loops from Thule. Simply close them under the vehicle's hood or trunk and help to prevent scratches on your vehicle's paint job. Constructed of heavy-duty nylon.I purchased a 2017 Subaru Outback. To transport my 1981 17 foot QT17C Alumacraft canoe on the factory installed roof rack crossbars that came with the Outback, I selected the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets - Side Loading - TH819 to do the trick. I did some advance research online and couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase from etrailer.com. I now have a quality product at the right price and these gunwale brackets are a simple solution for this veteran canoe man. I’m also impressed with the bow/stern tie downs that have a very nice ratchet and clip on one end and I secured the supplied hook with a bowline knot to the other end of the ¼ inch rope. The Outback did not have convenient anchor points on the front or back of the vehicle for tie down locations but I found a good solution by ordering the Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 - TH530. This works well with the tie downs I mentioned previously. I no longer need to crawl under the vehicle looking a way to secure the canoe. I look forward to many more years of safe and happy canoeing I give etrailer.com an excellent rating for the entire ordering and shipping process on top of the high level of satisfaction with the products I purchased through them. Their customer service and price ensured me that I’ll do more business with them in the future. 388469
Excellent wall racks for our 10 ft. 51 lb. kayaks. Takes some time to get them aligned and installed on the studs but once completed they are fine. Like that they swing flat to the wall when not holding the kayaks. The only negative is that the factory sup[plied screrws are worse than awful - - even with pre-drilled holes as suggested and using a power drill driver the heads stripped almost immediately. So, a quick trip to the local True Value and $7.45 invested for "real" stainless steel screws and done!! 204418
I personally love the quick loops. I have no place to attach tie downs to my car. I placed the front one under hood of passenger side and the rear one in the trunk, passenger side again. Holds tight and leaves no marks on paint. 213439
After a year they still work perfectly....would recommend.
Alex - 08/22/2016The best customer service 726215
Works great with the tow ropes! 708299
Product and speed of delivery were everything as advertised. We happy with the customer experience and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this type of product. 698250
Come in handy. Allow you to secure bow and stern without fear of damaging paint. Used with a cam buckle without the hook and worked perfect. Highly reccomend. 697261
The straps work great and are extremely easy to use. I have used them on my 2017 Subaru Outback to haul my Kayak to and from the lake for use. They hold the kayak very tight and make fora secure transport. I highly recommend the product! 695652
Thule is always reliable and good quality. Excellent service 690546
Great product. Is very easy to install and uninstall. Is also the best solution to fastening the load in the rear if desired. 678600
Used it last weekend and it works great. I put one between hood/front of car and the other between the back hatch/rear of car and the canoe was very secure (I also tied the canoe over the top to the luggage rack as their video showed). 668382
As advertised. Easy to use. Simplifies attachment. Good quality. Great service & on-time delivery, as always with etrailer. 665452
It does what it says it will. And, securely. Could not be easier to use. 642578
simple clean and secure. 554761
Love these! 516529
These are handy for longer kayaks. Easy to use. Keeps you out from under your car trying to find tie spots. If your car has autoclosing backgate you might have to override it for it to close. 516268
These are great!! Both of the tow hooks on my Kia Soul are on the passenger side of the vehicle and I didn’t trust tying my kayak on top with the bow and stearn off to the same side. These straps are completely sturdy and gave me the option to tie to the center, front and back!! Great product!! 511740
These work well enough I suppose but I wish they were a couple inches longer. With my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee there are only a couple of locations under the hood and rear hatch where the staps can actually be placed and still stick out far enough where you can hook them. The rear hatch especially, the strap sticks out barely enough for me to insert my hook. But, they work and a solid overall. Would I buy them again, no. There is another set on eTtailer from a different company, that appear much longer and half the price, those I would buy. 462882
Simple, elegant and convenient solution to securing kayaks (etc.) to your vehicle. If you paddle longer boats (my kayaks are 14, 14.5 and 15 feet long) I recommend getting the Thule Bow/Stern Tie Downs (TH530) for convenient temporary bow & stern tie down points, without crawling under the vehicle to attach to the frame. I use them with my Thule Hull-A=Port Kayak carriers. 414038
It arrived on time.it exactly as described. Good instructions 413878
Simple and effective to use. No crawling about on the gravel and sand looking for a tie down spot under the car. 413732
Etrailer is the only supplier which I found that had the total package of towers, cross bars and locks. Ordering was easy and shipment was shipped and received quickly, ordered on Saturday package arrived on Monday,tracking was included. I also order ordered the Thule tie downs and Etrailer tucked them on the roof rack package so I received everything in one box. A follow up email was sent confirming order had been delivered. The rack was in stalled on a 2013 RAV4. 409011
Worked well on both hood and tailgate of 2012 Subaru Outback to provide additional tie-down security for boats strapped into roof rack carriers. Was a little worried about the hood location and whether the plastic would be impacted by proximity to hot top of radiator but have had no issues. Great product if your vehicle has limited options for tiedowns on or under front or rear bumpers. 401961
Product was delivered quickly and is exactly as depicted. 399234
product works 395829
Very happy with the product and service this site offers! Product arrived on time and was exactly as described! 388701
The black tube and blue strap makes them really hard to see in a dark trunk, I suggest a different color for the tube maybe an orange, because they are not seen while driving. they worked as suggested and I had no problesm with them, but they can be easily lost 385479
It arrived on time and that is a plus. However, I won't get to test it unti Spring. It seems to be of high quality and I look forward to testing it out soon. 342486
These work great to tie down kayaks. 309447
Product appeared as described. I would like to compliment ETRAILER on being extremely fast in shipping. Great seller!! 307093
Great addition to make hauling kayaks e asier. 297978
Great product to help out with support of our kayak on the Thule Slipstream TH887XT Roof Mount rack! 293623
GREAT PRODUCT ** Transportation of our Kayak is the best we have had? This rack carrys everything, even our Christmas Tree and Lumber we buy at [the home store]! We use this rack for just about anything we need to carry on the roof of our vehicle!
MickeyD - 09/11/2017Thule tie downs make transporting easy,great product. 289315
My Ford Escape has no good tie down spots (which surprised me for an SUV type vehicle). These straps allow me to easily tie down to a secure spot, both front and rear. 282823
still works good
Jamie O - 08/12/2017Easy to install, priced right, and now we're able to haul or kayaks safely and securely! 265969
Arrived quick. 259140
A great product No issues 253883
Haven't utilized these yet as I just receive my hitch assembly and I need to figure out where these will attach on/inside/from the hatch of the 2015 VW GTI! I WILL use them though as the bike rack could bend the hitch assembly since it's only an 1" square.... 233531
These Tie-Downs are so easy to use and are great for securing the bow and stern of our boats instead of tying off on the trailer hitch and risking marring the paint on our car. Great idea! 223497
etrailer provides great communication and quick shipping. The replacement pads fit my Thule kayak racks perfectly and with these new loops I'll be able to use the tie down ropes easily. 215885
These tie down loops come in very handy on my new car that lacks the towing hooks that I used to use on my old one and hold just as securely.
stpand - 07/30/2016I purchased two sets of the Thule Quick Loops for my daughter and myself. We love them! No having to find the proper place to tie down our kayaks..just open the hood and back hatch and good to go. Also the shipping time was fantastic. Thank you from a couple of new and happy kayakers. 202587
If you put a boat on your roof, buy these. They are life changing. Climbing under my car to hook up the tie downs, after a long paddle, was the worst. 202339
The loops work great for securing our canoe to the top of our car. Shipping was fast, very pleased! 189677
Very handy! 187351
I haven't used it yet, but it should wo rk. 184991
These will just great!! Will need to order another set! 180387
Awesome product, a must have for those without a forward cargo hook point. 177451
