Expert Reply:
I have a great solution to mount the Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier # TH898 to your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon. Unfortunately, your current crossbars will not work because there needs to be at least 4 inches of overhang past the feet on the rack in order to accommodate the Hullavator while loading kayaks.
With that being said, you will be able to mount and use the Hullavator with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # MPG216. With this complete system, you will be able to attach and use the Thule Hullavator on your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon.
