The HOW TO videos on etrailer.com took the guess out of installing the new Thule lock sets for my Hullavators.

Still solid. Doing exactly what it was intended to do. No durability issues. Functions just like OEM.

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!

Would order from etrailer again. Good price, fast shipping, constant contact about my order. A+ company.

etrailer had the exact missing pivot pin I needed for my hullavator. Shipping and an earlier delivery enhanced my experience. Will certainly shop etrailer again.

Great product unique to Thule Haulavator. Service was prompt, but timely delivery very expensive. etrailer is a great resource for hard-to-find products.

Just what I needed.

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.

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!

  • Replacement Brackets for Thule Hullavator 897XT
    The mounts for the older Thule Hullavators, 897 and 897XT are different than the newest iteration, the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898. If you have the oldest version, which is the 897 (and only available from February 2005 - December 2005), I checked with Thule and they no longer offer replacement mounting brackets. If you have the Hullavator 897XT though, there are a number of replacement parts available, depending on what you need. - Replacement Underbar Bracket for Thule...
