Too late!!! I wound up with my hull looking like it was sand blasted where the saddles touched the glass. Mike Brown Mike, I have a kevlar Tesla and I use the older TLC Yakima saddles and have never had a problem. Does anyone know if Yakima still makes the TLC saddles? I went to their website and they only show the Mako and Landshark saddles. If you can get a pair of TLC's I would buy them, they work great. One more question, how do you like your Tesla NM?
