Does The Thule Hullavator Fit On A 2020 Nissan Pathfinder With Factory Roof Rack?
Question:
I have a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder and need to see if the 898 Hullavator will fit on the factory installed roof rack or will I need new cross bars and if so which ones will I need to buy?

Expert Reply:
You will need to install aftermarket crossbars because the Thule Hullavator # TH898 requires crossbars that hang over the edge of the roof at least 4" on each side, which your factory roof rack does not do. For this, I would go with Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" # TH711420 and Feet # TH710401. This will simply attach to your factory roof rails that run front to back on the roof.
This is all you need to use the Hullavator, however, I recommend adding Locks # TH450400 to keep the roof rack secured to your vehicle's roof. I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
