Ratings & Reviews
etrailer kept me informed every step of the way because the item was out of stock. They sent me an email with updates every week. The parts arrived today. Grateful for such good customer service
The Hullavator is a brilliant invention for seniors like us who like to kayak, but don't like lifting a 50 pound boat onto the top of our rather tall SUV. Having extra pivot pins in the back of the car is insurance that we won't find ourselves unable to return safely home.
Not much to review- perfect replacement for the pin in my Thule Hullavator that I misplaced when I stored it for winter. Fit perfectly, eTrailer shipped quickly, I’m back on the water in a flash.
During the off season I misplaced the Pivot pins for my Thule Hullavator. These pins were exactly what I needed to get my kayaks back on the water. Ordering was super easy and the pins shipped quickly.
The products I order were just what I needed. They were of excellent quality, no copies or after market. I found the staff was extremely helpful and answered all my questions in a very prompt and thorough manner. I would definitely use this site to purchase more parts if needed. Thank you
It was so great to find this pin here. It was an exact replacement for the original with my Thule Hullivator. I lost my originals and was out of business. Fast delivery and now I am using my rack again!
I appreciate how easy it is to find what I need and to place the order. I love how quickly I received my order. This is my second purchase from etrailer.com and I have reffered you to my friend as well.
Etrailer is a great place of those unique one-off items that are so critical - yet few places carry. I have also found their videos to be very helpful - especially related to kayak rooftop carrier options.
etrailer proved to be the sole source in all of North America for the Thule Hullavator part that I needed. Delivery was relatively prompt, considering I’m located in western Canada.
Since I did lose parts of my Thule Hullavator, I figured it would be a good idea to find a replacement for this piece which is very critical to holding the racks in place. Searching the website was easy as well as ordering. I received it quickly and it’s now in my emergency kayak kit ready to deploy if it’s ever needed.
The shiping was long,,but it all right
Great product unique to Thule Haulavator. Service was prompt, but timely delivery very expensive. etrailer is a great resource for hard-to-find products.
Ordered pivot pin for my Hullavator kayak rack. Ordering was simple and my product arrived on schedule. Thanks for getting me back on the water!

the parts have worked fine. I use them weekly and have no complaints.
Amazing customer support and kept me informed of the shipping and delivery timeline. Super happy about my order.
Would order from etrailer again. Good price, fast shipping, constant contact about my order. A+ company.
I needed a new pivot pin for my hullavator - it is almost kayak season - and I was searching the web for a small company. I ended up ordering one and then realized I needed another. I placed an identical order and within a few minutes William called confirming my "orders". He deleted my double orders and reordered 2 pivot pins so I would save on shipping. Super great service!
Fast shipping with a reasonable price on a hard to find part - excellent!

Still solid. Doing exactly what it was intended to do. No durability issues. Functions just like OEM.
Accurate, fast, fair price and easy to order
Always a pleasure doing business with. Fast and easy
The HOW TO videos on etrailer.com took the guess out of installing the new Thule lock sets for my Hullavators.

Glad that the videos helped! I'll make sure to let my video team know, they will be excited to know. When's the next time you're going to be taking the kayaks out?
Fast delivery. Thank you.
Perfect replacement
I asked for Friday delivery and it showed up on Saturday. I emailed cust svc about it 2x and no response. Why did I pay extra when it didn’t get here in the timeframe I paid for?
These are a direct replacement which I purchased for backups - and they arrived in a timely fashion. I also received good follow up emails from Joy at ETRAILER about the purchase.
I ordered the replacement pivot pin after loosing one on a recent 9 day camping trip between multiple sites. I reviewed the replacement video by Evangeline which showed me the correct way to install the pivot pin. This was extremely useful. Please thank Evangeline for me.
