This sounds like the Thules have been assembled incorrectly.  If they 
are put together correctly, they do not slide.   The piece that 
clamps the bar has to be tightened until it locks into place.  It 
sounds like either the pieces weren't tightened enough or the plastic 
bit that locks isn't in place.  Check the instructions again.
