AT THIS POINT THESE PRODUCTS MAY AKA OLD STYLE POSITIONING CLIPS” OR “PORTAGE” DEVICES WITH RESPECT TO THE NEW SQUARE BAR CONFIGURATIONS. ALL GENERATIONS OF THESE DEVICES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED FOR THE PURPOSES OF LATERAL CONSTRAINT OF CANOE AND/OR CARGO CARRIED ON THE ROOF RACK.

The Thule Portage has gone through several redesigns, the most recent being part # TH819. This kit is compatible with all of Thule's old style Square bars and their newer Aero bars. I'd recommend getting these if you don't already have a kit, as they will be the easiest way to add gunwale/portage load stops to your setup.
If you have them already, or just want to build the older style, I've included all of the replacement parts below that complete the assembly of the older style Portage. If you go this route, the kit won't include tie downs for the bow and stern kit.
For each of the four pads, you'll need:
Replacement M8 Carrage Bolt, part # 915085554
M8 Knob, part # 753-0776
Then, you'll need two of:
Replacement Tie-Down Strap, part # 753-2030-02
Replacement Buckle Cover, part # 853-5593
This will complete the entire original Portage kit.
