Expert Reply:

I have a different kayak carrier option for you, but the Thule Hullavator # TH898 you mentioned are 36" long each and while a bit of them will hang over the end of the crossbars the longest crossbars available for your 2021 Toyota RAV4 are 55" so you will not have enough room.

Instead I recommend going with the Hullavator on one side of the vehicle, and a standard carrier such as the Malone SeaWing W/Load Assist # MPG113MD one the other side as it is much lighter and quite a bit narrower.

The only roof rack for our 2021 Toyota RAV4 with flush mounted rails that will have enough crossbar overhang for the Hullavator to clear the body of your vehicle when it is folded down is the Yakima Heavy Duty Roof Rack System which uses 55" Yakima Heavy Duty Crossbars # Y01156, Skyline Towers # Y53TR, Rail Adapter # Y03541, and Landing Pad 23 # Y98FR.

I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
