Speaking of 2 cents, how much do the saddles cost? I use very dense foam
cut to fit my Thule racks by a local outfitter (Trailhead in Ottawa) at
about Cdn $16 per set. It provides a great firm/flexible "saddle" for my
kayak. I then use Thule over-the-side ratchet straps to hold the kayak onto
the foam/racks, with front and back straps. Works great.....
