Hey Patrick,

The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist w/ Tie-Downs # TH898 has such a small mounting space for crossbars that it will only clamp to Thule's 1-1/4" wide x 7/8" tall square bars or with the included 3/4" square nuts you'd be able to mount into the accessory slot in the top of a crossbar. From what I can find your Cargoloc crossbars don't have a t-slot so they wouldn't be compatible. The Hullavator will also require 4" - 8" of crossbar overhang past the feet to ensure the weight of the kayak doesn't press the carrier against the side of the car and scratch/dent it.

I recommend switching to a different roof rack, like one from Yakima so that you can easily adjust the crossbars to ensure you have that 4" - 8" overhang. If your Traverse has raised rails then you'll need parts # Y00426 and # Y33TR. If you have a naked roof you'll need parts # Y06153 (you'll need two of these), # Y28TR, and # Y00426. With either set you'd be able to use the square nuts to mount the Hullavator into the accessory slots on the top of the Jetstream crossbars.
