Expert Reply:
The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading Item # TH898 will fit the Rhino-Rack square roof rack bars. But you need to make sure that the bars stick out past the roof rack feet at least 4 inches so that when the Hullavator is lowered it won't make contact with the vehicle.
If the bars do not stick out far enough I recommend the Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD with the Telos load assist # MPG351XL. This combination will also provide a load assist feature for loading/unloading the kayak.
