A Yakima salesman at a ski club sale enlightened me on mixing
and matching Yak and Thule, when I explained my need for easy
loading.   It was his suggestion to buy the Yak adapters for
Thule racks, which are:   "Mighty Mount 4H", about $8 each for
2 set, required to install one complete set of 4 Hully Rollers.  
I later learned from a store that they don't plan to market the 
4 Hully Rollers next year, but a combination of cradle and 
rollers.

Using 4 rollers gives a somewhat wobbly feel to the strapped 
down kayak - but it is more or less horizontal on top of the car 
 - using 2 rollers and 2 cradles gives it a much less wobbly 
feel, though there is still some play in it even after strapping 
down as tight as I can pull. 

Thanks for the info on your Thule experience.
