We don't have a video that shows the Thule Hullavator # TH898 being installed on a set of Thule Aeroblade crossbars but I can describe to you the process. I also attached pictures that I took from the install instructions that show how it attaches as well.
Basically you would remove the wind diffuser on the top of the Aeroblade bar so that you could cut out sections for the install of the square nut that installs in the channel that provides the attachment point for the rack. (see the first picture)
In the second picture you will see that a bolt runs through the base of the rack to the square nut below it which secures it to the bar.
