The Thule Hydro Glide is usually matched with a Set-to-Go Saddle. The Hydro Glide goes in the back of the vehicle to allow the kayak to slide and the Set-to-Go is in the front to grip the kayak. For some installations it may make sense to have two pairs of Hydro Glide saddles (front and back of vehicle). The Hydor Glide is also part of the Rollercoaster kit.

Thule says: The Slickest and Easiest Way to Load a Kayak. Friction-Free Design for Super Smooth Loading.
