<< I have a Yakima system on the jeep with "hully rollers" on the back bar, and an adjustable saddle on the front bar. The Yakima cross bars are round in cross section, and no matter how much I tweak the locking bolts there is still some roatation of the cross bar when taking off/putting on the boat. It's not a big deal, but mostly a nuisance as I have to readjust the rollers every time. Thule has a square or rectangular cross bar so there wouldn't be that problem. OTOH, I love the hully rollers and they make life sweet when loading or unloading>> I have the same system on my Jeep and I had a big problem with the back bar rolling. It got so bad that the bar would rotate with the boat straped in so I had to use the foam pads until Yakama sent me a new set of bars, at no charge, BTW. After 3 sets of bars and a new set of towers, again at no charge-they even paid the freight, it is working well. I finally put some sandpaper into the space between the litle groves that clamp into the plaqstic on the bars. So far so good.
