1997 volvo 850 kayak rack suggestions

[gerberbaby4]

Not sure if this question has been posted previously or not (couldnt find the answer anywhere online either), but I am looking for advice on what is needed to setup a complete kayak rack system on a 1997 Volvo 850 sedan. Any help would be much appreciated as the water is starting to look very good here in Virginia!

The Thule 400XT Aero Complete Roof Rack Base System is engineered to fit your 1997 Volvo 850 sedan rooftop perfectly and is very quick to install. No matter what gear carriers you plan to mount on your roof, you will need a multi-purpose roof rack base system. The Thule 400XT Aero system includes four 400XT Aero feet, four FitKit 161 Clips (these FitKit Clips are specific to your 1997 Volvo 850 sedan) and two load bars (please note the 50" load bars are the recommended length for your rooftop). You will attach the kayak carrier to the front and rear load bars.

The 835PRO Hull-A-Port is a great universal kayak rack attachment that uses a j-cradle design for easy loading/unloading of your kayak and attaches to the Thule 400XT Aero load bars. The all-new design of this carrier also allows the cradle to fold down when not in use, avoiding any clearance issues such as a garage etc. These carriers use up much less load bar space than other kayak carriers and will allow you to attach two of them to the 50" load bars if you plan to ever carry 2 kayaks at the same time. The 835XTR Hull-A-Port is exactly the same as the 835PRO except the cradles cannot be folded down.

The Thule 883 Glide and Set is another excellent option and offers an easy way to load your kayaks. This system is a complete set for carrying a kayak. Includes one pair of 875XT Hydro-Glide saddles (for the rear load bar) and one pair of 878XT Set to Go saddles (for the front load bar). You'll need to go with the longer 58" load bars with the Thule 400XT base rack if you plan to attach two of these kayak racks to the load bars for carrying 2 kayaks.
