Question:
What roof rack, and what legnth rails, to use with a Hullavator on a 2020 Volvo CX40? I am concerned about enough clearance when the Hullavator is on the down position. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The Thule Hullavator item # TH898 requires somewhere between 4" - 8" of additional overhang past a roof racks mounting legs for the lift assist function to work properly without damaging the side of your Volvo. With this in mind, I recommend the roof rack by Thule for your 2020 Volvo XC40 and it includes the following parts:
Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black 60" Long - Qty 2 item # TH711520 or Silver item # TH711500
Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # TH710601
Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet - 6010 item # TH186010
