If you need help loading a kayak on your 2019 Toyota RAV4 with a factory roof rack then I do have an option for you but none of the side load assist arms we carry that attach to the crossbars which includes the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist part # RR-RUSL will work with factory crossbars as it requires an overhang. The overhang means the crossbars extend out past the mounting feet which is rarely the case for a factory roof rack.

Instead, the only other option we have for you that will work with your factory crossbars is the Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module part # MPG351XL but these also require that you use the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD.
