Question:
Do you know if a Thule SUP carrier will fit the factory bars of a 2008 GMC Envoy? Thank you for your assistance.

I do have a solution for you but I checked with Thule and their SUP carriers will not fit your 2008 GMC Envoy factory roof rack. I checked other SUP carrier manufacturers and it is the same problem. The bar spread and capacity of the factory roof rack is not conducive for certain roof mounted accessories; in this case it is SUP carriers and pretty much everything else other than cargo boxes and even some of those won't work.
What I recommend is to use universal crossbar pads # RRRWP03 to protect the SUP from the crossbars. It also comes with tie downs to secure the SUP to the crossbars.
