Question:
Hi, I was hoping to mount the Hullavator to my Rav4s crossbars, but the crossbars are too wide for the Hullavtors mounting assembly. Is there an easy fix for that? Thanks!

It sounds like you are wanting to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 with the factory crossbars that fit your 2021 Toyota RAV4. Unfortunately as the factory crossbars do not extend past the rails you will not be able to use them even if you could mount them to the crossbars. The Hullavator needs 4-8" of crossbar sticking past the feet to allow the mechanism to fold down with enough room and not hit the side of your RAV4.
I recommend the Thule Roof Rack with the WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, and Rapid Crossroad Feet # TH450R. This kit is designed to fit the raised roof rails. If you have a different roof style please let me know so I can find you the correct feet/fit kit for your roof.
The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450600 will allow you to lock all 4 of the roof rack feet and have locks for the Hullavator all keyed alike.
