Question:

I want to move my Thule Hullavator to my 2020 hybrid RAV4, which currently has lame flush mount sidebars that run from front to back. The Hullavator was installed on a square bar on my old 2007 RAV4 rack. What do I need to install it on my new RAV4?

Expert Reply:

To mount the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading Item # TH898 to your 2020 Toyota Rav4 with factory flush rails you will need bars that extend 4 to 8" past the feet on the rack. I recommend the Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 55" Long - Qty 2 Item # Y01156 the SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4 Item # Y53TR the HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4 Item # Y03541 and the Landing Pad 23 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 4 Item # Y98FR. This rack gives you the spacing you need so the Hullavator doesn't make contact with your vehicle.
