Question:
I have a Honda 2013 CR-V with the Honda roof is bars and crossbars. Will the Thule Kayak Hullevator fit on this?
asked by: Cheryl R
Expert Reply:
Most factory cross bars terminate right at the roof rails that run from front to back. The Thule # TH898 Hullavator requires crossbars that extend beyond the mounting feet. Instead of using the factory crossbars add the Thule # TH711400 cross bars, # TH460R Podium Feet, and # THKIT3118 Fit Kit. I have attached a video showing the installtion of the Thule cross bars on a 2013 CR-V.
Many customers also get the optional Thule # TH450200 locking cylinder to deter theft of the Hullavator. I have included a video review of this product.
