Mounting Yakima HullRaiser to Aero Bars

Updated 06/14/2021 | Published 06/10/2021

Question:

Hello, Im looking to take this roof rack for my 2016 Toyota Rav4, CargoLoc and use my Yakima Hullraiser on it. It currently wont fit, as the plastic c-shaped accessories that wrap around the roof rack arent big enough. Any thoughts? Thanks

I was unable to find the dimensions of the CargoLoc crossbars, but it looks like they are aero shaped. What you can do is mount your HullRaiser to them with the Yakima HullRaiser to HullRaiser Aero Conversion Kit # Y8860031.

The other option you may want to consider, depending on how good a shape your HullRaiser is in, would be replacing it with a new J-style carrier from Rhino-Rack:

- Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Fixed - Universal Mount # S510

This is a really good value for a carrier because it is price-effective but high quality, includes new tie-down straps so you don't have to get those separately, and can carry even heavy kayaks of up to 99 lbs. I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out as well.
