Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Universal Mount
Bought a pair of these to go on 59" rhino rack bars on our Outback Wilderness and am really pleased. I left the bars full width - they are not a head banger on the car - and mounted the Hullavators as far outboard as possible which means the kayaks clear the side of the car and wing mirrors without folding them in. I did have to modify one Hullavator to make the Hobie Lynx fit (36" wide Lynx = 36" max Hullavator width)

Rhino-Rack Nautic 581 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Channel Mount
This is a perfect fit for my needs I found this easy to load by myself. I wasn’t sure about the height of the racks but it turned out to be perfect. I had a full size pickup that was way to tall for this 79 yr old to load, but on the Maverick a with the elevated rack system and the Rhino kayak it works great.
My OldTown Sportsman PDL120 was shifting around to much in very windy conditions. I bought the large Yakima kayak saddles/supports from etrailer.

Malone SaddleUp Pro Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Channel Mount
The kayak saddle works amazingly well with my set up. I would definitely purchase again or recommend to a friend. I use it often, and it works well even with our strong beach winds.
Overall a very high quality option for adding a kayak tie down system to your vehicle. While I was searching for a kayak tie down system this was the only one I found that was a channel mount system that worked with the Adarac line of truck rails. I have the ADARAC Black Matte Pro Series Truck Rack. When I went I install the the nuts that go into the T-channel are way to small and will not allow it to be tightened down. Also the actual mounts them selfs don’t fit the cross beam flush, this could cause the mount to slip to one side or the other of the cross beam. I’m going to looking at ordering the Adarac tie down loops as Adarac doesn’t sell just the channel nuts by them selfs.

I rarely leave reviews but I have ordered a few items from etrailer lately and will say that I am impressed with how quickly they get my order shipped and how quickly it gets here.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful, like a Good Neighbor. Very much 'Old Fashion' care and support!
