Question:
Have a 2020 Hyundai Sante Fe with factory crossbars . Would I have to change the crossbars for the hullavator to work?

Expert Reply:
Since your OEM crossbars don't extend past the feet of your roof rack you will need to use an aftermarket roof rack system to use the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 on your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe.
For this application I like to recommend the Yakima JetStream roof rack system because you can install longer crossbars to ensure that there is enough room for the Hullavator. You will need the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, BaseClip Fit Kits # Y06151 and # Y06154, as well as JetStream Crossbars. I recommend using the 50" long bars which come in Black # Y00425. This should give you enough overhang to use the Hullavator.
I have attached a sample installation video with the similar CoreBars on a 2016 Santa Fe that you can reference.
