Expert Reply:
The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 that you referenced needs to have 4 to 8 inches of crossbar that extends past the foot of the roof rack. 12 inches would be too much. If you can move the crossbars in the feet you could slide the bars 4 inches in towards the vehicle and then you'd be able to install the # TH898,
