Thule Hullavator Pro Installation Help
Updated 07/12/2021 | Published 07/07/2021 >
Question:
I have installed my Thule Hullavator Pro but it seems like when I have them fully extended down the side of my vehicle I’m not hearing it clock into place and they are hitting my end cap pretty closely on my aero blades. Do I need to slide the load bar over more to enable it to click in the down position ? I also noticed that I don’t have the end brackets that are shown in the install instructions, my load bar is just bolted into the T Track without it, is this an issue ?

Expert Reply:
Make sure that you place the bottom section of the Thule Hullavator # TH898 as far up to the end cap of your crossbars as possible. This could be your issue. You can shift the crossbar around if that doesn't solve your problem. With the brackets your missing, You're using a T-Slot crossbar so you are not using the wrap around install, just the T-Slot which is not an issue at all!
