Will the Thule Top Deck Kayak Carrier Fit on Yakima CoreBar Crossbars?

Updated 06/25/2024 | Published 07/07/2021

Question:

Im thinking of getting this for my Yakima bars that i use on my 2015 avalon. I use a load assist roller suction cup with a roller bar for the back currently on J Hooks and its really cumbersome putting my 12foot Eddyline up top by myself mainly because of the Jhooks and I dont really need the extra space the j bars allow anymore. can i rear load my kayak using the TH881? There seem to be other load assist options but i dont need it as i have a roller bar gizmo. I have yakima core bars they look flat and aerodynamic thanks.

Yes, the Thule Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie Downs # TH881 will work with your Yakima CoreBars crossbars (aero style). With the Top Deck, you will be able to use your rear load assist for rear loading.

@Therese Yes, The Thule Glide and Set Rooftop Kayak Carrier System TH833 (discontinued) will indeed work with the Yakima Corebar Crossbars. The Yakima Core bars are 2-3/4" wide and 1" tall, the Thule Glide will work with crossbars up to 3-5/8" wide and 1-1/2" tall.
