Just received mine, none of the configurations fit my 2025 Ford Explorer stock crossbars. Expensive mistake.

Works Well!
I bought this product for a two door Jeep Wrangler with a Rhino Rack SG 2 Bar Roof Rack. I think it works pretty great, part of my thinks it’s a bit overpriced and two foam blocks could do the same job, but I do appreciate this product and the ratchet devices for the bow and stern work great. The system slides into my grooves on my rack so there was no need for the other equipment.

Perfect Fit
I used the online system to match my vehicle (Genesis GV80) to the appropriate components. Rail and clamp system arrived quickly from Thule, and was easy to install. Great product!

Dock Grip Is Perfect For My Kayak
I have been wanting this kayak rack for a long time and finally bit the bullet and ordered it. I am so happy that I did! This is a great kayak rack! I am a 5’3” woman and I can load my kayak on top of my compact SUV by myself and be ready to roll in about 20 minutes. The dock grip holds my kayak so well that I don’t feel I need to over tighten the cam straps, which is something I felt I had to do with other racks.

Bombproof.
This kayak carrier is excellent. The pads hold the kayak underneath and conform to the shape of the sides. The boat is held very securely.

Sticky. Hard To Load.
It is very difficult to load. Not my kayak and my sup board stick to the rubber saddles. My old mount was better having felt pads at the rear. Please let me know if there is a fix for this.

Easy To Install, Sturdy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this 1 month ago. Was fairly easy to install, though the manual could use a v2.0 ^^. Installed these on my original BMW X3 roof rack without any compatibility issues at all. Fits great and seems very sturdy.

Love Them!!
They work perfectly for our 13 foot tandum kayak... they also will fit a 2020 Highlander with factory installed cross bars!!! They are sturdy, made well and definitely get the job down!!

Quality Product And Well Engineered.
Typical of Thule this is a quality product and well engineered. However, the assembly instructions (pictures with no written explanation) are not easily understood and difficult to follow.

Easy To Install, Works Well
Installed within like 10 minutes (that’s with the Wingbar Evo, I guess with other racks it could take longer). Used it to transport a large kayak on the highway and felt very secure.

Excellent Kayak Rack And I Would Reccoment
I use it for loading an Ocean fishing kayak on a Chevy Tahoe. Makes sliding the heavy beast up there very easy and keeps it on track in the center of the vehicle.

Peace Of Mind, Even With A Heavy Boat.
For a while now, I've had one DockGrip and one (competitor) J cradle to transport two boats. I've always preferred the DockGrip, and finally ponied up for a second. This transports a somewhat heavy boat, but it's always felt secure, loaded easily, and been a breeze to take off and put on each season. I've never worried about the boat on the DockGrip like I have the one on the J. Additionally, Thule includes a pretty high quality and comprehensive tie down kit. I'd not only recommend this to a friend, I recommended it to myself...and bought a second.

Awesome System
This is an awesome system with a low profile so my truck doesn't look like an over sized insect.

I Will Recommande This Product To Any One Who Ask
Once you put it on the pads it just doesn't move, very stable and when you need to put it on or remove it, its a snap the pads incline so you can grab it easier. thanks Thule
