My main concern with square bars is that the saddles are at an angle if the roof isn't flat.

I've been using an old Yak rack system with Yak TLC cradles for years, and it's all just as solid as when they were new. The old TLC cradles hold boaty snug as a bug etc. - no bouncing at all. I've always been so happy with Yakima, that I've never tried Thule. However - I do have a question about Thules... why do I see so many of them "sagging"? (often, quite a bit). I've never seen Yakimas sag like that, but I see many Thules doing it. Anyone know why?
