Hi! all
Thule makes,  what I always called, long legs and long bars for the
poptop...I have been using them for several years. i use three bars on my
west, because i usually carry several kayaks or canoes... these bars take
five minutes to take off..but I can say that i have also been attracted to
the brackets; but i would have to take the boats off anyway (s), if i wanted
to put the top up...so what is really the difference? and I am not drilling
any holes!
