Question:
Hello - Im trying to put together the pieces Ill need for a Thule Hullavator system. I have a 2021 Crosstrek Sport with roof rails. Ill need crossbars, not sure which ones. I like the Hullavator system, not sure if I can get two Hullavators for two kayaks or if another system would work/fit better on the Crosstrek? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

We can definitely get your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport set up with a roof rack so you can use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898.
The best option for your '21 Crosstrek is a rack system from the same manufacturer, Thule, and consists of just a couple parts, which are the following:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711400 or Black # TH711420
- Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails # TH710401
The Thule rack is the best option because it has the longest crossbars - 53 inches - that fit your car, which means easier access to the bars and the most possible space to carry your kayaks or other gear. This rack is also extremely easy to use and install, the crossbars are extremely quiet so you get a peaceful ride, and on top of that it looks great, as you can see by the accompanying photo I've added of this rack on a Crosstrek.
In regards to the Hullavator, only one will be able to fit on the crossbars for your Subaru, but the bars are large enough that you can add another kayak carrier to the side of the Hullavator, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878.
The only other thing I recommend is adding locks which is going to protect the investment you made in the roof rack and the kayak carriers. The rack and Hullavator Pro # TH898 can all be locked by adding Thule lock cores.
To lock just the roof rack you will need the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 # TH450400; to lock the rack and Hullavator you will need the Lock Cylinders - Qty 6 # TH450600.
