The Yakima Saddle is an integrated saddle/pad/strap system: a pad recesses into the saddle when loading and unloading and then lifts to grip the boat when the strap is tightened. Gluing mini-cell foam to cover the saddle would alter the saddle/pad/grip system. A Yakima Limited Warranty states, "damage resulting from misuse, accidents, or alterations are not covered by this Limited Warranty" and "Yakima cannot assume responsibility for any damage to any property arising out of the improper attachment or use of its products." I wouldn't modify the saddles.
