Question:

Do standard manufacturer roof racks and cross bats for an Infiniti Q60 2017 work with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist?

The Thule Hullavator # TH898 requires a set of aftermarket crossbars that extend past the feet of the rack 4 to 8 inches. I tried to find a roof rack for your 2017 Inifiniti Q60 that would work or find info on the factory rack but could not find anything. Are you sure you have a factory Infiniti roof rack.

I want to install the Thule Hullavator 898 on my 2021 Toyota Venza. I have factory rails and cross bars. What crossbars will work with the rails and the Hullavator on my vehicle ?

@Cynthia I wish we had a good solution but none of the aftermarket roof rack manufacturers have a fit for your 21 Venza which the Hullavator does required. This is true for all of the assisted kayak carriers so you'd need to go with a standard carrier like the etrailer part # e98878.
