Towers for Yakima RoundBar on 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Question

Question:

Im looking for your advice to attach an older version Thule Hullavator 897XT 2 sets to a 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid with roof rails no crossbars. I have done well with 48 inch Yakima round bars and Q Towers that clamped to the rails of a narrower 2009 Ford Escape. I own 58 inch and 76 inch yakima bars as well. I will need a way to extend the Hullavator far enough away from the sides of the Honda. Are there mounting towers for the Honda that would allow the use of the round bars? What would you recommend? Thank you

There are towers available that will allow you to install your Yakima RoundBars on your 2024 CR-V Hybrid. You will need the following:

-SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 # Y64AR

-RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4 # Y03536

-SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine and RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers # Y44UR

If you have Yakima Same Key System locks you can transfer them over or you can add new locks using # Y07204.
