  The Thule Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie Downs, # TH881, is compatible with most factory installed roof racks. The carrier uses a U-bolt style clamp to mount to your crossbars. The Thule carrier does require at least 24 inches of crossbar spread to allow for proper mounting.

• Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Carrying 2 Kayaks on a 2014 Subaru Outback
  If it were me I would want just one kayak carrier that can carry both kayaks at the same time as that would make things simpler and would end up costing less. The Thule Stacker part # TH830 can carry both of your kayaks at the same time since they are shorter than 10 feet in length plus the rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle so it would be what I recommend.

• Fit of Thule Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier on 2014 Subaru Outback with OEM Roof Rack
  According to Thule, their Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier is indeed a fit for the crossbars on your 2014 Outback. The mounts will fit crossbar profiles that are up to 3 inches wide and 1-1/4 inches thick. The Top Deck carrier includes the saddles, mounting hardware, straps and bow/ stern die-downs. I also recommend the Malone T-Style Hood Loops, part # MPG308. These quick loops will close in the hood and rear hatch openings, and provide a good attachment point so the metal hooks for the...

  The Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs, # TH881, will fit the factory crossbars on your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. The kayak carrier uses an U-bolt designed universal mount that fits most crossbars. The carrier also includes straps to help further secure your kayak to your vehicle.

• Will 2 Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carriers Y04074 Fit on 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon
  The Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier # Y04074 is designed to fit any crossbars whose dimensions do not exceed 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-11/16-inches tall and that have a center-to-center spread of at least 24-inches. You can certainly fit two of the SweetRoll carrier on the car, but the dimensions of the two kayaks will determine whether both watercraft will fit at the same time.

• Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Rhino Rack Aero 2500 Bars on a 2011 Toyota Corolla
  For a similar kayak carrier that is confirmed to fit your Rhino Rack Aero 2500 crossbars check out the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier part # RR571. Your cross bars are 3-1/2 inches wide whereas the Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier # TH881 can only accommodate up to 3 inch wide crossbars so it would not work for you. I spoke to my contact at Rhino Rack and he informed me that the # RR571 does not necessarily have a weight capacity. You would be limited to the capacity of the crossbars...

• Can a Canoe and Kayak be Carried at the Same Time on a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  Thule does have fit information for the 2015 Subaru Outback. Depending on how much space is available on the factory crossbars and the capacity of the factory roof rack you might be able to get both a kayak and canoe on the roof. The kayak can be carried on its side using The Stacker, # TH830. This will allow for the most amount of space for the canoe. And then for the canoe I recommend the Portage # TH819. Since you haven't purchased the vehicle yet you can compare the overall width...

• Kayak Carrier for a 2016 Subaru Outback and Hobie Mirage Outback Kayak
  For a kayak carrier that is a direct fit to the factory crossbars on your 2016 Subaru Outback I recommend the Thule DockGrip, # TH895. The four saddles and tie down straps will easily secure your kayak. I looked up the Hobie Mirage Outback and it weighs 81 to 99 pounds depending on how it is equipped. This carrier will support that weight range. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you. Since kayaks have to be tied down at the bow and stern as well I often get...

• Thule Kayak Carrier Recommendation Similar to Thule HydroGlide that Fits Aero Bars
  I wish there was an adapter that allowed a Hydroglide 884 kayak carrier to fit on aero shaped bars, but there's not so the best solution would be the Thule part # TH881 which does fit aero bars and would be a great option.

• Can a Kayak Carrier be Used on TracRac Ladder Rack Crossbars
  The TracRac ladder rack crossbars are too large for kayak carriers but I have a solution for you. You can use the Thule Surf Pads # TH845000 to protect the hull of the kayak. These pads will fit the old Thule Xsporter bars which are similar in shape and size to the TracRac bars. You would then just need bow and stern tie downs to secure the kayak to the TracRac bars, # TH855XT.

• Kayak Carriers for a 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Roof Rack
  The 100 pound capacity on the 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon most likely refers to the system as a whole. In all probability they took the lowest rated component in the system, either the roof, the side rails, or the crossbars, and went by that rating for the whole system. You may be able to find the capacity of each separate component in the owners manual or by contacting a dealership. But even if you were to add different crossbars like the Thule SquareBars, # TH712100, Thule still states...

• Will Two 9-Foot Kayaks Fit in Thule Kayak Carriers on SportRack Roof Rack on a 2012 Toyota Corolla
  The SportRack semi-custom roof rack # SR1002 will fit your 2012 Toyota Corolla and can be used to carry kayaks. But as far as your Thule kayak carriers go it depends on which carriers you have. If they only fit square bars then they will not fit the SportRack bars because of the differences in size between the bars. But if you have any of the following carriers, they will fit: The Stacker, # TH830 Hull-A-Port Pro, # TH834 Top Deck, # TH881 Slipstream, # TH887XT Roll Model, # TH884 Be...
