Thule Hull-A-Vator Pro Installation and Removal from Thule AeroBlades
Updated 11/15/2017 | Published 11/14/2017 >
Question:
HI, I saw you information regarding installation. To take the hullavator off the blades do you recommend just removing the blades with the hullavator or leaving the square nuts and blades in place and just removing the hullavator from the blades?
asked by: Barbara
Expert Reply:
I recommend fully removing the Thule Hull-A-Vator, part # TH898 from the bars, including the T-bolts in the channel. This helps keep the bolts from being lost and makes installation easier when you put the bars back in.
Additionally, this reduces the amount of noise that the posts will cause as you are driving.
