Our take on the Thule 503 Load Stops

by Ralph Graves

These durable load stops clamp to your load bars to prevent just about any load from slipping side-to-side, including lumber, canoes, ladders, and more. All Thule equipment passes tough European safety standards for car racks. Optional straps not included.
