Will The Thule Hullavator Pro Work With The Yakima CoreBar Crossbars

Updated 09/08/2020 | Published 07/19/2017

Question:

I need two Thule hullavators on my 2017 Highlander. Will they fit on 70 inch Yakima corebars supported by skyline towers?

The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs part # TH898 is not supposed to work with the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars but we have been able to make it fit with the Mounting Kit part # TH7520970001.

Can you tell me how you put the fit kit on Hullivator to put on corebars? It seems like I’d have to attach to the middle hole on the bottom bar, but not sure which screws and spacers to use as the instructions don’t match the ones given (for ski mount), either way they seem to short or too long.

Have you varied using/not using the spacer that come with this kit? Technically the Thule Hullavator wasn't designed with this mounting kit in mind and so there is a little trial and error that will need to take place on your end. I don't think we have ever physically done this on our end but we have had plenty of people test this out and get back with us saying this combination works.
