    If they can fit my thule bars, it'll certainly work on yours. I can take a pic tomorrow of my thule bars to compare to yours.
    Also, if it wont fit you can just return it. However, I am confident that they will fit.

    There can be an issue with excessive weight on an unreinforced fiberglass shell. The weight can push the sides of the shell off the rails at the tailgate. However, I have an ARE MX (unreinforced) with a home made lumber rack and I have never had a problem. You should be good to go with a kayak or two.
