Yes, there is a Thule roof rack that will accommodate a Thule Hullavator but you will need one with longer crossbars. The Thule Hullavator item # TH898 requires crossbars that extend 4" - 8" past the legs to allow the lift assist function to work. You will need the following parts:

Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - 69" Long - Qty 2 item # TH713600

Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars - Rain Gutters - 5" Tall - Qty 4 item # TH65BJ

This system is compatible with the Thule Hullavator and will give you the required clearance for the lift assist function to operate. I have linked an installation video below.

If you do not like silver crossbars then you will need to use the 2019 Jeep Wrangler Roof Rack by Rhino Rack which includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 71" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA180B-2

RLTP Leg Adapters for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Track Mount - Qty 4 item # RRVA-FK1-2

Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount - 4-5/16" Tall - Qty 4 item # RRRL110S5-2

Hello Geoffrey, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track here. On your 2024 Acura RDX a 60" bar would be cutting it close. We can do a roof rack with a longer bar; we would just have to part it out separately instead of doing a full…

Hi Robert! Sweet kayaks! Using two of the Thule Hullavators #TH898 on the roof of your 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness is looking like it may be a no-go. With them being 36" wide, you would need to have at least 68" of useable crossbar…

Hey Jack, the Replacement Infill for Yakima HD Crossbars #Y01166 that you referenced is an exact replacement for what came on the Yakima HD bars. If you were looking for a different compound this would not work for that.
