Hello Rizwan, thanks for reaching out. The Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL will indeed work on your 2018 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, and you are correct that the Hatch Huggers # SA3035 are required. The hatch huggers are easy to install. Basically, you remove the J-hooks from the straps and use the hatch huggers in their place. They will insert between the hatch and the vehicle body. This gives you a firm anchor point on vehicle where the J-hooks could damage the body of the car. We made a video showing how the hatch huggers work, and I have linked it for you below. You will also find a link to the manufacturer's instruction manual below. Let me know if you have any other questions for me.
