Question:
Does the Hullavator fit on 2017 Porsche Macan factory roof rails and cross bars? And can 2 Hullavators fit at the same time?
asked by: JCS
Expert Reply:
The Thule Hullavator kayak carrier # TH898 does not fit factory roof rack crossbars because it requires that the bars stick out past the mounting foot 4 to 8 inches. Factory roof racks do not have this feature.
Another option that you may like is the Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD with the Telos load assist # MPG351XL. This combination will also provide a load assist feature for loading/unloading the kayak. You could use 2 of the DownLoaders, one on each side of the vehicle, but you would only need 1 of the Telos.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owner's manual for the roof rack weight capacity prior to loading.
