Thule Kayak Carrier Recommendation Similar to Thule HydroGlide that Fits Aero Bars
Question:
Last year I used a Thule Hydro glide maybe the 884? set up for carrying my Kayak. I have upgraded my set up this year from square bars to aero bars and now am trying to sort out how to adapt everything. I would like to try to use the front saddles and believe they will just transfer over to the aero bars. But I am not able to reuse the back two saddles. Do you think there is a way to do this just using spare parts? Ideally I would like to do this rather than buy a whole new kit. I have a 2017 Subaru Impreza with a naked roof, in case that is necessary. Thank you!

I wish there was an adapter that allowed a Hydroglide 884 kayak carrier to fit on aero shaped bars, but there's not so the best solution would be the Thule part # TH881 which does fit aero bars and would be a great option.
